I also like Kotlin. The readability is awesome. ;)

  inline fun <reified T> Any?.cryptic() = (this as? T)?.let { it::class.simpleName?.also(::println) } ?: Unit

Competition is good.

Will it be accepted in hotels abroad? Can i withdraw cash at ATM abroad? Can i add it as a card to my Google wallet?

Usually banks app are nightmare. Pins everywhere, extra passwords. MFA not with my dongle....

Sigh.

Seriously, I have had no issues with visa or mastercard. This euro-nationalism is odd to me.

Nope. The first thing i do in the warm car, is to turn the music on, making a stop at my favourite coffee shop and then i hit the road, humming my favourite songs. I barely drive anyways, its all automatic.

In mass-transit facilities all the people look at their screens, using headphones, waiting to be coughed on, scared to be not talked to, anxiety all around. Nope, not for me. Never looking into a dirty public toilet again, while the society yells: "but its free!".

Progress, folx, not regress. Come out of your bubbles, ignore the voices, that tell ya, hundreds of human bodies efficiently transported in an iron can is progress! Live! Expand! Use everything!

Not in my city. Business is all dying, everyone avoids to go to the centre, everywhere the city fights cars, handy man charge extra just for comings, nah, it's basically gated communities now, well, they can have it, but life happens somewhere else then, where it can expand freely.

It is not convenient. It's freezing cold and icy, no walk, no bike, no scooter. Use mass-transit, sure, when you don't care about your life, when it's working, when it's coming regularly, when i don't have to exchange stations, but still, walking from home to a station and back, nah, it all sucks.

Imagining sitting in a cosy, warm pod, driving in a tunnel autonomously, point to point, and you have my vote.

I do not think it is about seeing certain things, that exist in the adult world. That is surely a side effect that one wants, though, protecting minors from a world that they can not comprehend.

I think it is about algorithms targeting you all the time for hours in favour of a company. We see the effects every day. No attention span. Instant gratification. The next kick.

Are you? Reveal yourself!

"You won't own anything and you will love it!"

Is there a similar ticket, flat for 50 Dollar per month, that takes you through the US? I wonder who pays for the real cost of the ticket, who cleans and repairs the trains, who invests in infrastructure and all that. I always wonder how the germans can pull this off for 50 Euro. Magic.

Well, if its related to the original poster, then how do you know it is their first time in indonesia? :)) Most likely, :)), it is Bali, and for sure, you can leave wifey alone.

I am all in favor of continuous development. Program. Check-In. Build. Test. Merge to dev. Build. Test. Merge to master. Build. Test. Deploy. I have a very fancy Play Button, that does everything automatically.

But it always takes like half an hour. :))

I usually start then something else. I have many projects open. But its like....these context switches, they are draining.

So yeah, i like to go the dangerous part, deploy right away from my dev machine. But i get immediate reaction. I dont have to wait. But my mates dont like it. And so i deal with it.

Btw. we had a forced EKS restart last week on thursday due to Kubernetes updates. And something was done with DNS there. We had problems with ndots. Caused some trouble here. Would not be surprised, if it is related, heh.

Yet. Everything goes down the ... Bach ;)

Russians abroad use crypto to work around sanctions.

What is the purpose of running lp(a) testing, if i may ask? Just for knowing the risk factor and dealing with it? As far as i know there is no easy way for dealing with it once and for all times (gene editing...)

Did it ever happen to you, that you are not dealing with humans and therefore you noted this assumption?

It is subsidized. Through taxes you pay the full prize anyways. Just that someone else than you who decides, what do with your money, like subsidized public transport.

Or it becomes too expensive like in germany. Then it will suck too.

Love this analogy.

The spider crawling out of the back of the car mirror has seen things, that are far beyond i will ever experience visually!

It is my life. Not yours. What you are afraid of is openly murdering people.

I remember reading Daniel Lemire's Blog about SIMD a few days ago, in which he discussed substring search as well!

Hm. If it is an open market, the consumer should also be able to decline/filter drivers, that take tips. Maybe it is a market, but sadly not open.

What a heinous posting. Judging about others shows true evil.

Soldering transistors by hand was a thing too, once. But these days, i am not sure, if people wanna keep up anymore. Many trillions of transistors later. :)

I like this zooming in and zooming out, mentally. At some point i can zoom out another level. I miss coding. While i still code a lot.

I agree, thought it would be really really nice if a http method like GET would not modify things. :)

Can the LLM not help with setting up the local part? (Sorry, was just the first thought i had.)

germany tried germany failed. people will protest, because it makes them poor. grand ideas will make people poor. because they would have to invest to make their house passive. and its a lot.

but sure, try it out. :)

Commerce subsidizes journalism. Or art. Or any other "hobby", where i do something, that feels right for me.

I have time on the side, because working for the man gives me the freedom to do things other than surviving.

Long lives commerce and capitalism.

People tend to forget. Stream-API is a good candidate, that people like to not consider for leakage. If you don't own your stream, if you do not definitly know, that your stream comes from a collection, then ya better close it with a try-block.
