You don't have an offered number of sick days in Germany. If you're sick, your sick. At some points (after 6 weeks) the employer stops paying for it, and the payment switches to the health insurance and drops down to 70% of your usual gross salary (with some more specifics).

ChatGpt is finished training and doesn't update itself in any way. The current conversation is fed each time as additional context back when you ask additional questions.

An use case that comes up quite often is building a List / Map / Set implementation. You want to have it to enforce to (typesafe) take only objects of the same type, and when taking it out again, get the object in the same type back. And you want the compiler to complain, when to try to put a String in a List<int> (a list of strings), or try to asign the object you get out of the list to a boolean.

And obviously you don't want to write a specific List implementation for every Type, like a StringList, DoubleList, IntList,... especially as every method in it would basically work the same.

They are great! My bachelor thesis was implementing an algorithm to generate minimal petri nets based from an infinite partial language, described in something like a basic Regex.

That's why I love Monkey Island so much. You can't do anything wrong so that it becomes impossible to finish the game, and you can't (really) die. Although it is possible to "die" and get the "credits" or a "load old save" screen, you come back to live through some miracle (like the rubber tree).

"In fact, for products like milk and flour, where fortification and enrichment have occurred for so long that they’ve become invisible, it would be almost irresponsible not to add synthetic vitamins."

How come most countries don't do it, then? At least in Germany I have never seen added stuff in milk or flour.

The first one (?:) is not standard but only a GNU extension, so be carefull with that one.

That's how trade schools work in Germany. About two thirds (up to 3/4) of the time you are at work and learn there, the other you are at a normal school. After you graduate (about 3 years) you most of the time stay at the same place to work.

So a meal plan is like an subscription to meals? Why don't they sell it normally? How much is each meal with that plan? In our Mensa at the university we pay between 1.50 and 4€ per meal (exclusive drinks).
