Re:Ask HN: What is the best online course you've ever taken? on Friday November 30, 2018 @11:11AM (#18570061)
Thanks for this suggestion! I did The Science of Happiness https://www.edx.org/course/the-science-of-happiness. Not sure what "the best" really means, but I think it had the biggest impact on my life.

I've been a customer since 2006 and just cancelled my account. Not sure, where I'll move, but I need a provider that supports .de domains. I'm leaning towards uberspace.de, but will consider Hetzner as well.

Pascal is an interesting language choice. I think it is the 1st time I see an open source project that is actually used in production written in Pascal.

Moreover, it is fast, works well on mobile and on and on. It's is just a very well done and useful site for users and search engines.
