And live in a country where they use these in their alphabets.

They also, in many camps, used the inmates as slave labor.

Did my own research, and the Swedish police has decided not to continue with the complaint:

from 2025-12-19

Machine translation in part:

> The report contained no information indicating that a crime had been committed. Therefore, no preliminary investigation is being initiated, Rikard Ekman of the police told AFP.

Thanks for posting the link to the PDF. I've long tried to find the specific references to the legal grounds for the complaint.

You don't happen to have a reference to the status in the Swedish legal system? The police are responsible for referring this stuff to a prosecutor, and that status should be public.

Apparently, to simplify sorting.

I used to be active in chat and invited many users but I'm not that active now.

I had a burst of interest in Gemini when it was "cool", but ultimately HTML scratches my publishing itch.

The Lagrange browser is an impressive piece of software. Recommended.

The HN de-sensationalize algo for submission titles needs tweaking. Original title is simply "Huge Binaries".

Since the start, each problem has 2 parts (2 "stars"). Part one sets up the problem, ensures you have parsed the input correctly, etc. After submitting the correct answer to that part, part 2 is revealed, which sometimes expands the proplem space, adds new limits, etc. Something that solves part 1 might be inadequate for part 2.

I'm a member of the site since 2017, read almost every comment (it's not that much), and have a habit of saving "spicy" threads before mods arrive. So there's a pretty good chance I can recover more background than what's available now.

If enough inputs are available online, someone can presumably collect them and clone the entire project without having access to the puzzle input generation code, which is the "secret sauce" of the project.

It's easy to state this, almost as easy as to find a specific entry in the modlog proving it. If you want, I can do the grunt work if you cite a specific username.

It's the first time I've heard of it, and I consider myself pretty plugged in when it comes to watch news.

In the last Herbert Dune book, Chapterhouse, Arrakis is destroyed to eliminate the source of spice, but at least one worm is transported to another planet to begin to turn that into desert, thus ensuring a continued supply.

When you have a yearly prize, you're bound to get off-years. Maybe the Nobels should be structured to only be given out every 4 years, like the Olympics. But that would be a huge blow to the Stockholm hospitality business.

Surely it's not the subscribers facing the wave, but Disney as a company?

In my experience, Brits refer to their time as "GMT" whether or not DST is in effect.

This is impressive work!

So does a large part of Western Africa.

And indeed, the KSA rep has opposed it:

The Aga Khan is the leader of the Ismaili Imamat.

They have as good a claim to a TLD as Berlin, if not more.

I see a few of these here in the greater Stockholm area.

I believe most are bought by tradespeople - they need the power to haul stuff and can expense the fuel costs to a degree.

Most trades drive panel vans though, which seem to be much more favorable from a raw weight to cargo capacity deal.

Thanks a lot for this link.

The followup article <https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/japans-surren...> mentions that while the Soviet Union didn't pose much threat to the home islands, it would and did steamroll the armies on the Asian mainland. Ensuring these forces actually abided by to the surrender terms was crucial. So atomic bombs threatening Japan proper and the Soviet Union threatening the land forces in Asia provided the "cover" for the surrender terms.

The US had already firebombed many Japanese cities with conventional weapons, causing death and destruction on the scale of Hiroshima

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo_(10_March_194...

Using the atom bomb was just making an existing policy more effective, because you could flatten a city with one bomber instead of ~300.

The bombs didn't cause Japan to surrender. The bombs plus the Soviet declaration of war, invoking both the almost certain defeat of the Kwantung Army on the Asian mainland and a grueling defense against both the Soviet Union and Western allies contributed too. And the surrender was almost stopped by a coup at the very last minute.

Can't wait, but the acturial tables tell me I will dead by then.

When we were looking at used BEVs here in Sweden the salespeople joked(?) that customers were questioning why they even stocked used Teslas.

> Okay, apparently the stddata addition is causing havoc (who knew how many scripts just haphazardly hand programs random file descriptors, that's surely not a problem.)

I knew, and I've known since reading the "C shell considered harmful" paper, which offhandedly mentioned that sh-based shells can use an arbitrary number of file descriptors (maybe they have to be one-digit integers though). csh can't, of course.

It's discussed in the first section here
