The lack of braces in python code makes it quite difficult to read for someone who’s used to languages that use braces.

A $1 million dinner? Does that involve buying the restaurant?

Antitheist

That is salmiak flavored licorice, it’s not salmiak. Just like a bag of paprika flavoured crisps says ‘paprika’ on the front, doesn’t mean that paprika is another word for crisps.

The only relation between licorice and salmiak is that it’s used to flavour a specific type of licorice.

It’s also used in fertilizer, as flux for soldering or galvanizing metal, in batteries, and lots of other applications.

You can also buy salmiak powder as a form of candy on it’s own.

No. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.

But it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?

Cats with the unusual coat – known as ‘salmiak cats’ (which translates as ‘salty liquorice’)

A better translation would be ‘ammonium chloride’, because that’s what salmiak is.

Bumble’s new verification feature lets users submit a picture of a government-issued ID to authenticate their identity

ID verification using a picture taken of the ID is practically worthless. It is trivial to fake.

Same thing goes for vaults, or all physical locks. It may take a little longer than a padlock but nothing comparable to the amount of time it would take to brute force good encryption. We’re talking maybe a couple of hours or days for a vault vs. millions of years.

What would you say determines whether a kernel is a Unix kernel?

Not what, who. And the answer is The Open Group,

It’s so absurdly big. Our galaxy (the Milky Way) is estimated to have between 100 and 400 billion stars in it. For a long time we thought our galaxy was all there was, it wasn’t until 1925 when Edwin Hubble was able to prove that M31 was not a nebula or cluster of stars in our galaxy, but in fact an entirely different galaxy altogether that we realized there are more galaxies out there.

Look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field picture

This was a taken by pointing the Hubble Space Telescope at a basically empty bit of space 2.4 by 2.4 arcminutes in size (for comparison, the moon has an apparent size of about 30 arcminutes, or half a degree). So an absolutely tiny part of the sky. It contains about 10.000 galaxies.

The observable universe is estimated to have between 200 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in it, with on average about 100 billion stars per galaxy. It’s absolutely mind blowing.

Which is how fast?

And what is the memory bandwidth on these APUs?

you’d definitely be able to do it cheaper with PC hardware.

You can get a GPU with 192GB VRAM for less than a Mac? Sign me up please.

I’m straight up telling you that anyone unable to walk to a store is not going to be able to make do with bikes and scooters.

Yeah that’s bullshit.

Sure, there may be some people for which that is true, but anyone unable to walk to a store can’t go by bike? I know for certain that’s not true: one of my mates ex-GF had issues walking, certainly couldn’t walk to the store. She had no problem cycling though. She used a 3-wheeled e-bike. Cycling is much easier than walking, you spend way less energy, especially with electric assistance, and there’s trikes for those who have balance issues.

Go watch any busy street anywhere in the Netherland and count how many elderly people you see on bikes. You’ll be amazed.

that’s going to be a horrible time any foul weather days.

Like any Dutch mom would say to their kids complaining about having to cycle in the rain: you aren’t made of sugar, are you?

The way to fix that that’s the most kind is to subsidize shopping delivery the way you’d set up parcel post.

You don’t have online grocery shopping with free next-day delivery there? Hell, we have 10-minute delivery on groceries if you’re willing to pay a bit extra. (Delivery is done by bike, of course).

Or set up shared transport that ferries the disabled directly to and from places in a realistic, bearable time frame. You could maybe hybridize that.

That also exists, at least in my country. It’s run by volunteers and you only pay a small fee (mainly to cover fuel costs).

Literally every town or city in Europe is like this.

It takes less than 15 minutes to do a shopping trip. 4 minutes by bike to get there, 4 minutes back. Time inside the store depends on how much stuff I need but usually not more than a few minutes, including self-checkout.

Why even bother with things like strings for a salt? I would expect it to just take a byte array. Just create some random bytes and provide that.

they wanna share a codebase between web, desktop and possibly mobile.

That way you get an app that’s crap on every platform.

So buy land, dump trash on it. Got it.
