Green-Man··on Automotive Grade Linux Launches New Expert Group Led by Toyota
Kollege, I can't agree with that. I feel you are talking about middle to far future :)
Green-Man··on Setelinleikkaus: When Finns snipped their cash in half to curb inflation
>Cash, which is awkward to immobilize for policy reasons, will be gone in a decade or two

That's a bold prediction. On par with prediction of how much memory will be enough for personal computing devices in the future.

Green-Man··on Fair coins tend to land on the side they started
Randomly how? By a coin toss? Who will toss then? How many times? How skilled the participants should be? All these important questions must be decided by some authority. Sort of a Department of Equal Distribution. Or a Ministry of Fair Tosses. Wait a second...
Green-Man··on Tracy: A real time, nanosecond resolution frame profiler
Does anybody have an opinion or comparison with respect to easy_profiler?

Especially interesting if based on real practical experience.

I looked up the nickname of the author of the commentary. Now I feel recursion is still running inside my brain
Green-Man··on If English was written like Chinese (1999)
Could anyone find a live link to the "Belorussian translation" mentioned at the beginning? I wasn't able to find another version with search engines or Waybach machine.
Green-Man··on Show HN: BeerBase – an accessible worldwide open beer database
Thanks for suggesting the topic. I was interested in these numbers from more reliable sources. Apparently, a very detailed statistics is available in the BarthHaas Report (https://www.barthhaas.com/downloads/berichte-broschueren)

Here is a approximate bier production per year for comparison:

World's total: 200.000.000.000 liter = 200 Gl

Germany: 9.000.000.000 liter = 9 Gl (5th place; try to guess the leaders. We are talking about quantity, not quality)

Radeberger Group: 1.000.000.000 liter = 1 Gl

Bavaria: 2.300.000.000 ~ 2 Gl (terribly sorry, I didn't find Frankonia separately :) But for the region's defense I should say that excellent report comes from Nürnberg.

Data for years 2019-2020. There is even Top 40 breweries in the world in there.

Green-Man··on The Problem with the Way Scientists Study Reason
I have that feeling that I've already read this article some time ago.
Green-Man··on Not Your Problem
Most of the advices can be extrapolated to the other fields of development. Not only the software development. But the goal should be highlighted: making the things done. I think there is even a methodology for this: JFDI
Green-Man··on I Won $104M for Blowing the Whistle But Was the Only One Who Went to Jail
"I’ve tried to invest the reward money wisely. I collect Formula One memorabilia and antique hockey gear and sweaters from the NHL’s Original Six teams."

I'm not sure if I understand the term "wisely" correctly.
