At least from the truckers I watch on YouTube from Germany, there is already a shortage of rest stops for trucks. Sometimes you can see them even in the entrance of the rest stops, parked in a dangerous spot. If they all have to charge, then that becomes a problem, because they can’t find a space even „creatively“.

Not saying that electric trucks are bad, just one more problem to solve

From the name I thought this was about learning NixOS, and they found a very clever name

Maybe the author could add a small note that this is not about that, and refer to something official about NixOS?

Anyway, I like the idea of the project!

Yes, although not as much. But I still keep my TI Nspire CX CAS charged for when I need it (needed it during my CS studies for adjacent topics). Specifically the CAS version is nice because it can simplify algebra for you, and even solve/rewrite an expression for a specific variable. There’s probably something I can use on my computer, I do like the ergonomics of the calculator though

They are actually of the same age, the iPhone 8 and X came out at the same time (yes it’s still confusing now)

In Switzerland, most instructor cars are Diesels, since they have higher torque and are very hard to stall. Then you go home and drive your parent's petrol engine car and you stall it all the time

In German it's called the Kaufmanns-Und (roughly merchant's/salesman's And). I think it may be related to advertising, if you advertise a product name (or a producer name) with an "and" in it, the ampersand is much shorter and more visually appealing

To be honest, when I was very young, there was always the thrill something unexpected might happen on TV, and crashes were part of that. But this has quickly faded. I only dimly remember the Bianchi incident, at the time watching I didn't think too much of it. The Grosjean incident though was really something, and I got similar vibes a few weeks ago with the Schumacher (Mick) incident where he wasn't shown for a short time

(to GP) I really have to say, this is not how you should ask someone else to fix a problem. Going at the developers on a personal level is NEVER a good thing. If it was my project, I probably would have closed the issue completely after you insulted me this personally.

I think the problem is security. Here in Switzerland, there's demos in various cities and also of course at Davos. If you would put them in trains, it would be harder to do it safely.

(of course, why they even need so much security is another thing)

Wow, this is weird. I'm from Switzerland and I'm getting blocked since "I'm from Germany". They say to check Maxmind's DB and it clearly says Switzerland too.

This reminds me of services blocking Switzerland because of EU regulations, even though it's not part of the EU. But country-specific blocking and misreading Switzerland for Germany, that's a new level.

* it says they update the DB every month, so that could be an issue. It just seems a bit too wrong for me.

Does "maintaining 10 GBit" only confirm Cat6? I don't want to * on your recommendation, just want to be nit-picky about these things after such an article :)

Write dumb code 8 years ago

I don't think he meant compressing 5 lines of "normal code" into a one-liner. He meant, actually removing it. Maybe the logic it provides is not needed anymore, or you could do it somewhere else in a far more readable way (I'm thinking about abstraction levels)
