Sounds like a whole new market opened up for the EU.

I feel the opposite as a software engineer. The only appointments I have are stand-ups. I can work whenever and wherever I like. I never want to go back to the stress of University now.

It has been a common thing on Android and I don't really see Android users having a worse experience. The average user is conditioned to using the app/play store.

Nah, the video game industry has micro-transactions down to a science.

It's funny you mention this, because I like to use vscode over ssh. I believe the editor updates the screen before the change is ever made on the server, so it feels nice and responsive like you're coding on your home machine.

Expat is a word to distinguish white immigrants from the rest of the immigrants. White Americans living abroad are called expats as well.

:Cough: selenium :cough: scheduled cronjob

Sorry, I'll take wage slavery over the gig-economy. I'm lucky and don't have to choose between the two right now with my flexible schedule at my current job.

they talk openly about being scared of black people because they're all criminals.

You don't think there isn't anything racist about that? You have a strange definition of racism.

As a consumer, it isn't bad.

Half tenths for a mechanic.

The problem with using another form of payment is I won't purchase from a small business online without PayPal. PayPal offers consumer protection so I can take a risk with a company I don't trust yet. if it goes bad I can file a complaint and it will almost always get resolved.

What contract? Most of these contracts have terms for canceling early. Like a fee to cover the remaining cost of the phone. After that point, it's their phone and I don't see a problem with someone using their property on another network.

Definitely, I saw this from working on hybrids when I was a mechanic. The transmissions were simpler, the engine rarely needed any work since they ran less than a gas only car. They barely needed any brake work since the electric motor does most of the stopping.

A full electric pretty much eliminates all the work besides replacing tires and replacing the brakes maybe once in the car's lifetime.

Some customers with older evs will need new batteries but the price of a battery is so expensive that dealers won't have a lot of room for markup and it only takes a few hours to replace one.

Who funded the study?

It's a trusted name and the user doesn't see any of the fees.

I want my desktop OS to act like a proper desktop workstation and my phone to act like a typical smartphone. Don't force Windows 8 like experience onto me.

I like the Arduino for this reason. It was a lot more interesting than printing hello world to a screen. I would find little things I could do with the Arduino for random little things that I couldn't easily do with a pre-existing app on the phone or computer.

Also, before I started studying computer science, I liked the Unity Game engine as it was quick to implement something interesting and it was easy to find lessons and instructions online to develop in C# and the Unity engine.

I'm jealous of the aesthetic. It's really nice looking.

I love how the audi tt lego car is as poorly engineered as the real deal.

Twitter is more akin to a soapbox than a pub.

humble brag

Most of the XDG environment variables aren't set to anything.

Oh yeah, I used to have a used BMW with an N54 engine with the same issue. I ended up buying a media blaster, crushed walnut shells and cleaned up the ports preemptively.

I wouldn't think it's novel enough. Toyota and Subaru have been using it for years. I had no idea Ford was doing this as well. It's a good idea. The port injection prevents carbon buildup on the valves and ports.

X86-64/AMD64 was solely developed by AMD and licensed to Intel.

I'm stating this because I can't tell what you mean by:

"wasted effort went into Itanium. But we ended up with x86-64"

I personally loved little Italy. The espresso was amazing and so were the little restaurants, but I couldn't live there. It's too expensive and the place was a little rough but I still liked my visit.

At my university I only have write permissions in my home folder so I prefer this too and I only need to backup my home directory as well.

Doesn't seem strange to me. I can drive a car with a vr headset. The computational part I would agree with though.
