Sorry it was a Saab 90 from memory. It was Bordeaux red and had these funny looking rear lights in the rear screen. 1980 vintage.

True. At my comp sci department, we called the Onyx “the Hoover”.

Saab 9000 was nice, but also damn expensive. My family had a Saab 93 when I was little. It was a very nice car, but very noisy. The Danish name for it was “fart organ”, literally.

I’ve never heard of cars in Scandinavia using that measure. Hint: I grew up in Scandinavia in the 80ies.

Singapore’s PayNow interfaces with UPI as well as PromptPay (Thailand). It’s only a matter of time before these payment rails get interconnected and SWIFT is history.

This is also happening in countries like Thailand and Indonesia with PromptPay and QRIS respectively. Walk past most street stall it’s either cash or QR, no cards.

May Keats and Yeats be on his side…

Is this John Petrucci, the guitarist of Dream Theater?

“Natural”? There’s hardly anything natural about markets let alone the economy unless you believe in god’s hand, of course.

Simply the hest!

Hest means “horse” in Danish. Coincidental?

Well, you can certainly withdraw cash and stash it in your bed, pillow or mattress at home.

And how come WA is not blocked?

I used to collect vinyls a lot. Then music streaming services happened and I sold my record player to make space for other things. 10 years after doing that I have rediscovered my passion and bought a new Rega Planar I turntable. Best investment in years. I’m very fortunate I kept all my records. I now listen to music intentionally again and got rid of the “instant gratification” that streaming services provide.

Agree. Who ever invented it deserves to have their mouth washed with brown soap.

I’d rather boot to ed because ed is the standard editor.

Eight megabytes and constantly swapping

DAIMI! Did you code in TRINE?

Is this like the Danish “hyggelig”?

I would do anything for a modern version of Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. Now THAT was a professional OS. I would even pay for it.

I’m completely with you here. This kind of language hi jack drives me nuts.

But strangely TikTok seems exempt? Or maybe they rely on federal lawmakers to can it from the US altogether?

Dream come true for me! Yet another reason to live on the terminal full time, without starting X. Does WP save to Doc easily? I remember using WP 5-something at school on PC-DOS. It was very cool.

Interesting paper. That said, I find the image at the top of the article and the play on words in NAM-DB disturbing, considering the many atrocities and war crimes the US committed in the Vietnam War. The authors should have been more thoughtful given the usefulness of the paper on pure technical merits.

Yes I do. The main reason is stability and familiarity. Also the lack of systemd.

Assuming you have a good webcam?

ed is still the standard editor.

Accenture was spun out of Andersen Consulting after the Enron saga. Andersen had both a consulting business and an audit arm - they were one of the “big five” audit firms before the collapse of Enron. Today, Accenture only do consulting; they do zero auditing. EY are not related to Accenture or Andersen. EY is an audit firm (one of the “big four”) with a massive consulting arm. Unlike Accenture which is a global firm, EY operates more like a local franchise. They do this to minimise risk of contagion from a bad apple like in Germany to other audit businesses in different countries. As such, EY is far from a global firm, but more like a collection of separate audit and consulting firms in different countries who all have a license to use the EY brand. This is an important difference.
