I wasn't actually aware of the impact. I measured the zsh startup time locally (with mvn active and commented out) and it indeed makes a difference (.39s -> .08s). Not that I would have noticed that without measuring :) - yes I'm an old geezer.

Thank you for the recommendation, I might then also be able to ditch sdkman as well.

That's what Big Tinfoil wants you to believe!

Nowadays even the conspiracy theories are becoming ugly and boring. The only thing they've got going for them is how many people are spreading them.

Now I actually want to die from the vaccines.

I'm not sure if I can trust this machine:

Maybe Facebook can create an AI that also sends thoughts and prayers to whoever needs it. It's also probably easier because most people remember why they need the thoughts and prayers.
Apparently buying shitloads of toilet paper is the best coping mechanism for anything.

That's nothing. I can sabotage my relationships before they even start.
Yeah it's a similar situation in Switzerland. Not sure about the prioritization of deliveries though but the postal service started to offer different kind of services (like starting a bank "Postfinance" [which I guess is a swiss thing to do], or selling office supplies). In general: revenue from mail is down but revenue from parcel is up. Also during the COVID-lockdown people started ordering shit online like crazy, so there were of course delays and problems.

Re:Switzerland's mysterious fourth language on Thursday June 28, 2018 @03:45PM (#17419884)
It's funny you should mention Portugese, there was a report in Schweiz aktuell once where they said a lot of Portugese speakers would better integrate in Rumansch speaking parts because Rumansch and Portugese are similar.

But the problem here is not that he does not have money - the $ 10k belong to him. It's just that he needs to open up a bank-account to access that money.

The potential for sex (your analogy)/money is there but the conditions to "release it" aren't met.

Or to use your analogy: he has someone willing to have sex with him, but that person doesn't want to do it on the street - this person just wants to have sex in a proper bed.

I'm living in Rüti (which is about 30 km from Dübendorf but still in the canton of Zürich). If I do the availability-check on the fiber7-page it returns something like "that's a black-hole for us" - I'm not surprised.
Re:Pushed to the limit as a banking intern on Thursday September 12, 2013 @02:54PM (#6376140)
... while trying hard not to die.
Since the prof studied at the university of Neuchâtel and Salerno I guess it's save to assume he's not a native english speaker. So I think it's possible that it was just sloppy wording.

I'm curious what his statement is going to say.

Agreed. The lexer just recognizes tokens it does (usually/ideally) not know about the grammar, the parser checks if the "token stream" actually complies with the grammar.

If the grammar allows for example "2x" as a "shortcut" for "2 * x" (if you parse mathematical expressions) it would make sense.

Nitpick: Depending on the syntax the lexer might also yield 99f (float literal) and the identifier "oo".

Re:Show HN: My Newest Design: ZigZagLab on Monday March 25, 2013 @04:45AM (#5436050)
I think your site is great (I really like minimal designs). I have found another tiny typo under /contact, in the h5-tag: "to open up you email client" should be "to open up your email client".
