Else is a given name in Denmark (a variation of Elsa, I'm guessing). At university we had a professor with the surname True; so if he had a daughter, her name could've been Else True. We found that quite funny.

Else If would also be a possible name in Denmark.

But, according to Statistics Denmark[1], none of those combinations exists:

Women with the first name 'Else' 13,047 Men and women with the last name 'True' 166 No one has the name 'Else True'

Women with the first name 'Else' 13,047 Men and women with the last name 'If' 6 No one has the name 'Else If'

The Economist Intelligence Unit's latest Global Liveability Index names the world's top cities. We asked residents to share the everyday experiences that make their hometowns such exceptional places to live.

Nice. I've been using https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im for a while now. It would be great with a comparison.

Cool, I'm going to play with this. Looks like a well-written project, and I love this statement in the readme: "it started as a joke and then quickly got out of hand".

This looks great, will have to check it out. I've always been interested in computer graphics, I even wrote a ray tracer when studying for my master. It was based on the, then, brand new book "An Introduction to Ray Tracing" by Andrew S. Glassner et al. The book is now free to download: https://www.realtimerendering.com/blog/an-introduction-to-ra...

As a Dane, pikaday reads a little funny, because "pik" is a vulgar slang term for penis, equivalent to English words like dick or cock.

The "Mastering Emacs" is great. But, you don't need it to get started, instead check https://www.masteringemacs.org/reading-guide

In Denmark there's 4 weeks for the mother (right after giving birth) and then 24 weeks for the mother and their partner each, i.e., a total of 52 weeks. It's also possible to transfer weeks between the parents.

"Among the states collecting data for the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, 68% of counties and jurisdictions now have immunization rates below 95% — the level of herd immunity doctors say is needed to protect against an outbreak."

After about 25 years in Denmark without earning money, ALDI closed all shops here last year.

"Monday is the first day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but in the US, Canada, and Japan, it's counted as the second day of the week." - https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/monday.html

I've always thought of Monday as the first day of the week. It's the day that starts the workweek (and school week) and Sunday is part of the weekend.

Tgif is one of my all-time favorite X11 programs. It's used to create vector drawings, and I could whip out nice infrastructure diagrams etc. so fast using it.

No, because comments are not code, thus they are stripped before counting LOC.

I read the article using the Dolphin Browser on Android, and I did not see any popup...

I think the "Please don't abuse this option..." has had the opposite effect than the OP wanted...

Who's dictating 10 o'clock? Standups can be e.g. just before or after lunch, or in the afternoon. The team should be able to agree on a time that works for everyone. And if that really is impossible, then use Skype or similar to include people who are still at home.

A six person team should be able to be done in less than 10 minutes. If someone gets off topic or rants on about details, stop them, and perhaps suggest a meeting afterwords.

You solution totally ruins the dynamics of the standup.

Yeah, mine is too. Guess they shouldn't have showed HN...
