Can it show the date in the European format, like the GW-M5610U-1ER?
It's 90's tech. Their business model is selling expensive subscriptions to keep legacy projects alive. I was at one of the conferences in my country and the average age of a developer was about 60.
I'd rather have Henry Kissinger on the note.
I don't like the designs.
I didn't even know who the person on the 200€ bill is until today and I have a suspicion she was chosen by some woke EU bureaucrat. I'm sure Europe had better persons in its history.
If Maria Callas is suitable for currency, why not put Daft Punk on it?
72k and I made one stupid mistake at "beginner". I'm not a native speaker.
Less social inequality. Where I live there are no cameras and I don't even lock my doors when I take my dog on a walk.
My mother died 2 years ago and a couple of months ago I lost my job. I don't have any friends and have no family left. I tried antidepressants, but I don't believe in chemical help anymore. I read self-help books like "Feeling Good".
I take care of the house, walk the dog, apply to jobs, go swimming twice a week. I won't starve. If I don't find a job soon I might go back to school and go into teaching.
It's not that WWW was quick, it's that Bitcoin is useless.
I've also heard Cory Doctorow recently offer a similarly dismissive view, describing AI as "just statistics".
Over the last few months, I’ve increasingly come to believe that depression is not caused by a chemical imbalance. After trying ten different antidepressants with no success, I found far greater improvement by changing my patterns of thinking.
Adding one letter to the day of the week would be way less confusing.
When I tried to install the Windows release, I got a message that it contains the Vigram.A virus.
It's buggy. I got stuck in the blue "pool" in the last stage, under one of the green ramps.
My impostor syndrome is cured a little when a machine learning expert mentions acupuncture.
People have always loved gambling. Crypto is nothing but a game of musical chairs. Also, smart people fall into cults like everyone else but they tell themselves they are into it for rational reasons (techology).
I started learning Mandarin in December with a Taiwanese teacher that teaches at a university in my tiny country. We have classes for an hour and a half every week online. She forces us to read the sentences in simplified characters, not just to know what the pinyin words mean. It's not easy.
I never had any interest in learning an invented language, other than those I use for programming.
I'll never install Tinder again.
6 years ago you could actually match with real local people that you even met before, now you just get matched with Asian crypto scammers and Thai women.
They scammed me out of 60€. Don't waste your money or mental health on this.
It's pretty well established now that The Sopranos finale HAD closure. It's just that only the real fans figured it out.
The walls are the least expensive part of building a house.
Our professor in college got us this in the printed study materials about the C language, so I remember that I typed it in by hand once.
I'm the same. I had several Seiko 5 watches in the past and even modded one of them with a hacking mechanism. I would monitor the accuracy every week with a timegrapher app on the phone and try to make small adjustments.
The convenience of having a modern Bluetooth-syncing cheap Xiaomi fitess watch is so great I don't believe I'll ever go back.
Croatia has been having a brain drain to the north. In 30 years it has lost about a fifth of the people. They leave for Austria or Germany because they can earn 3+ times more even for not-IT jobs.
He might be a brilliant mechanic, but he sounds just like my paranoid anti-vax coworker when he starts talking about the BRICS currency. The solutions are open standards and documentation, not going back to the stone age.
> If he was a "war criminal" as many here claim, why wasn't he ever prosecuted or convicted?
Kissinger himself said many times that relations between states aren't based on morality, so people who act in the name of states can't be bound by international laws. It's an idea that is the basis of the realist philosophy. A lot of people in the the foreign policy establishment share that view.
The USA for example supports the International criminal court, but not for its citizens, so Kissinger can never be prosecuted like Milošević. Those who say the ICC is just an instrument of power are not entirely wrong.
I bought a Brother laser printer a while back but it set itself up by default using the WSD protocol. After some time it stopped responding to the network and I could use it only after reinstalling the driver every time I wanted to print.
Only after I set it up with the TCP/IP protocol, it works fine and is available every time.
