Except, you know, it’s a free and modern democracy.

I am always a few years behind on smart phone models, so I don't have that much storage space. Every few months I go through my app list sort by largest size and delete the top few apps which are not necessary for me. So it definitely has financial repercussions for them. Smaller apps stay on my phone longer and have a higher chance to be used again and bring them more ad revenue..

I was looking for this also.

In many asian countries it's even worse. Sometimes the doors exist immediatly to the streets, with maybe 30cm of space and no sidewalks whatsoever. And even these 30cm are talking up by parking scooters.

Lured and forced can be very similar though. Especially if poverty, mental illness or similar are involved. Plus the fact that many people aren't really 'adults' when they turn 18.

Is that true? In Germany in most cities children walk to school alone when they start elementary school at 6 years old. They are only accompanied by the parents for the first few weeks when they start school.

I rather have my kids playing GTA than stuff like Candycrush or whatever mobile game is popular now. At least GTA requires some amount of brain activity.

- I don't want my TV crash regularly - I don't want to connect my TV to the internet - I don't want my TV to spy on me - I don't want to have ads on my TV - I do want to have control over image/video processing - I do want to watch stuff on my TV for which no app is available - I don't want to pay extra for compute which is already available with my PC - I do want to be able to access my existing file and disk based media library

For me, convenience is having my dumb TV connected to my PC. It's not impossible to get a remote for a PC too you know.

Who are these tips for? I value my privacy and safety, but for tourists or normal business travelers these seem paranoid.

Didn't he switch to performance art first?

I think the parent comment meant that, in this case, make them actual countries.

Work on open source software!

AFAIK in at least some countries it's enough to mention the license somewhere. It's not necessary to include a full license file.

However who benefits more? Who relies more on street infrastructure for revenue? The CEO of a car company, or a random worker?

I am trying to compile a list of data structures (and algorithms and other stuff) into a kind of knowledge base: https://github.com/Dobatymo/data-algos/blob/master/data-stru.... There are few cool and obscure data structures already. Please feel free to help extend it!

Python 3.11 provides this information at runtime. https://docs.python.org/3.11/whatsnew/3.11.html#enhanced-err...

I am too a software developer and I am still using a desktop I bought in 2011 for less than 400USD (not including hard drives, which I continuously buy...). Since then I replaced a broken mainboard for about 60USD and replaced the initial 8GB RAM with 16GB RAM.

I am still using Windows 7 and I am dreading the day I have to upgrade to something newer. Because I am sure user experience will decrease massively because of the increased Windows 10 requirements. Recently a lot of software seems to be dropping Windows 7 support.

I have been contemplating buying a new system for at least 7 years now, but with horrible GPU prices and overall pretty bad value-for-money ratios compared to my current build I never really get around to it.

PS4 and Nintendo Switch take care of my gaming needs.

It's non car centric alright... I wouldn't want to drive one around all the motor scooters anyway.

Baseball is huge in Japan and other Asian countries and has been for a long time.

Great! Hopefully when Python updates its sqlite library in a few years, it will finally have JSON support. So far it was commonly built without it.

Yes, I would like to have seen some mention/comparison to known optical flow methods too.

re2 is using state machines to evaluate everything in linear time. Backtracking re implementations have some very slow edge cases.

Because re2 doesn't support everything POSIX regex support.

So if I don't want to get a HDMI cable to connect my TV, but happened to have a network connection instead I would use that?

The first time I visited Taiwan this confused me so much. Why did I hear Fuer Elise at every corner of the city?

> In Taipei, residents were ordered to buy blue government-issued trash bags as part of a “Pay as You Throw” system, effectively creating a tax on producing garbage as an incentive to throw out less.

Same system now, only with pink bags...

I got the Sony WH-1000XM4 as a replacement to a cheap wired Sharkoon RUSH ER2. It's like 300 USD vs 30 USD. Sony provides good sound quality + great noise canceling + bluetooth. But as soon as I switch on the mic the quality turns bad. It's abysmal with a old Win 7 Laptop and bad on a Win10 Laptop/iPhone. So for all cases which require a mic, I switched back to the cheaper wired one. Getting an extension cord for the wired one would have been a much cheaper solution. The Sony one only shows its real strengths when walking outside in a noisy environment.

In Taiwan these cardboard boxes for infants are sold in most baby shops as well. Although much more expensive than a comparable box from the post office...

Usually this op chain feature is used to allow `if a == b == c:`. This is resolved as (a==b) and (a==c). Following this logic the assignment statement is extended the same way as far as I understand. It's just more surprising.

Using a ASCII name in a Chinese speaking country is fun too. The majority of Chinese names are 2 to 4 characters long. So even if you have a short English name, it will either get abbreviated to 5 chars or so or just printed over whatever comes next to the name field.
