Re:War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready? on Friday September 18, 2026 @07:02PM (#49761414)
Some people said two days, some said ten days. Russian officials thought they would get a short war, and they were wrong. Wikipedia will point you to a bunch of references.

A Russian war with Europe would not be the short war that the original poster alludes to by invoking statements from a Russian official.

Probes are not worth going to war for. Russian boots on Baltic grounds would be.

As would the special military operation. Three days short, it was promised.
Re:mold: A Parallel Linker on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @07:15PM (#49457214)
I guess this sentence from the Wild readme is also relevant:

  Mold is already very fast, however it doesn't do incremental linking and the author has stated that they don't intend to.
Not a bad deal for who?
Love America? Yes, we did.

The A380 is a fantastic airplane to ride, so if that is the end result I’m a fan!
Same in Norway.

We will have some Amish people driving around in petroleum cars, trying to preserve the old days and the old ways.
Re:Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native on Saturday January 31, 2026 @07:34AM (#46836091)
I think it’s more about the absolutely stripped model vs the loaded one.

The basic services are more or less the same, but the hyperscalers provide hundreds of services where smaller providers have only ten.

Norway cars on the road, December 2025:

  Elbil: 31,78 prosent
  Diesel: 31,76 prosent
  Bensin: 23,90 prosent
  Hybrid (not plug-in): 5,38 prosent
  Plug-in hybrid: 7,18 prosent

Your quote is missing a crucial bit. The full quote is «we're not registered to do so, so we are on the wrong tracks».

You were supposed to take the last exit, to be on the local road instead of the highway. No, we cannot let you off on the highway. We are not allowed to stop here. There are no stops. We wait for another exit. Sorry.

My sympathies. And it’s sad to see you call it “what it is you did wrong”. Thus, also my apologies, for whenever I am on the wrong side of such interactions.

What’s with all the periods, one at the end of each paragraph? Fully wasted.
Is the full proposal available online?

My message here is off-topic, probably a rule violation, but…

I love this. I love how the users of Hacker News provide deep, real insights on pretty much any topic. Thank you!

Re:SVG.js v3.2 on Sunday November 23, 2025 @03:43PM (#46027148)
Maybe it's ease of development, and resulting readability?

I did enjoy the example code, compared to the native javascript (both shown in the article):

  var draw = SVG().addTo('#drawing')
    , rect = draw.rect(100, 100).fill('#f06')

Re:Amazon strategised about keeping water use secret on Monday October 27, 2025 @11:07AM (#45721843)
It sounds like we know the water usage for growing almonds.

It feels reasonable that we should have the same detail of information for data centers.

Norway, too.
Is that a supported method?
Re:Build Your Own Database on Tuesday October 21, 2025 @02:52PM (#45659989)
Back in the 80s a professor at our college got a presentation on the concept of «write-only memory» accepted for some symposium.

Good times.

Re:Meta erases Gaza journalist's Instagram on Tuesday October 14, 2025 @10:38PM (#45587510)
I think we don’t know if he backed up his data.

We do know that he is dead, though.

Unfortunately, I’m absolutely watching it :-(

It happens whenever there is a progress indicator. I get obsessed with monitoring and verifying.

Re:IKEA Catalogs 1951-2021 on Tuesday October 07, 2025 @04:31PM (#45508451)
I was 13, delivering advertisement to mailboxes (basically a newspaper boy, but delivering to every mailbox).

Most weeks it was one bag for my route. Except when the ikea catalogue arrived… I went back and forth and back and forth — that thing was thick and heavy!

Re:Pop OS is getting beta on Friday September 26, 2025 @11:03AM (#45387338)
Even with a single screen I sometimes want a video in full screen, while keeping an app window (email, excel, whatever) in a window in front of it.
Re:"No Tax on Tips" Includes Digital Creators, Too on Friday September 12, 2025 @03:58AM (#45219816)
Yeah, I don't know anything about the majority of establishments.

My single reference is the Norwegian upscale restaurant Theatercafeen, which introduced tip pooling across waiters and kitchen. It was highly contentious when introduced by the restaurant: The waiters took the case to the courts, and it went all the way to the supreme court of Norway [1], where it was decided that the employer could decide rules for tip-sharing.

The same spine that makes companies say "No, I think we will keep our DE&I programs".

For that specific question, none. End.

Isn't it even simpler: Unless the cookie is used to track, you don't need the banner? For example, a cookie used to remember sort order would not require a cookie banner, I think.
