Those were normal reservations, not Interrail ones, which I explicitly was talking about, trying to get the conversation back on track to Interrail which is the subject of TFA. Those high prices are what I meant with "sold out" above; in that case you get the prices for normal reservations listed instead of the Interrail ones. They are usually marked as such, though, e.g. on RailEurope it'll say "Rail Pass doesn't apply for this trip". Pretty big difference.

If carry propagation is so expensive, why are the mathematicians, like Karatsuba, ignoring it? It seems like we need a better complexity measure.

Have fun on your hill. Or not, if that's what you prefer.

Same, same. Actually, strong side wind was the worst.

The only way to properly realize human potential is to have no fun when doing your work? Are you really sure you want to live in a world like that?

I'm quite sure C.S. Lewis was referencing that explicitly.

I've taken Amsterdam-London with Interrail many times, usually €35, sometimes €57, often sold out. So yeah, two price levels; Eurostar is basically SNCF.

Uphill both ways!

The Interrail reservations/supplements are fixed price (or for some SNCF trains there are two price levels as the train fills up). But their number is limited, so in a way the advice is the same.

I'm righthanded and I usually hold my phone in my left hand so I can do clicking and typing with my right hand, but I often do basic scrolling with my left thumb.

I assume they all do, it's nigh impossible to maintain your own data fork and keep reconciling your users' edits and the updates from OSM.

He wrote 14 Rust to C compilers. Sanity has gone out of the window already.

It's a pity DivestOS has stopped.

I'm still living in the Netherlands without a bank app. It's occasionally less convenient, but quite doable.

I would like to add one note: if I were an activist in Iran, or in any other way my livelihood would depend on strong privacy services, I might keep using your service and even be (slightly) more certain of the company's resolve to keep my privacy protected. Although I would be very aware of the irony. But choosing for one's own safety can override other concerns. Very few things in life are black and white.

If Ars can, then HN definitely can.

Oh, come on. If you're trying to make a point, be more clear.

For starters, Ars shouldn't write "this journal" when it's about another publication than themselves.

A company shouldn't be able to fire an employee over their opinion,[0] so that wouldn't matter to me. For a major owner, the donation amount starts to matter to me around $5-10K, but YMMV.

[0] I suppose unless they have a very influential position and it's about a matter that contradicts main company goals

The guy owns half the company, so a significant part of the money I'm paying is involved. Yes, it is quite ethical to decide based on matters like that. It's not an employee or minor shareholder.

Including a statement from the other founder.

"Mullvad AB and its parent company Amagicom AB are 100% owned by founders [1 person] and Daniel Berntsson [...]"[0]

So I'll assume he owns about 50%. Well, that ends my usage of Mullvad.[1] I appreciate that probably many of Mullvad's employees have different views, and obviously Berntsson has every right to his opinions and to express them, and I also appreciate that someone can have control over an opinionated company and run it for one particular set of reasons but not for other causes that someone believes in, but in the end I just don't want my money supporting anti-people causes.

[1] If it was a small amount, say less than 5% or maybe 10%, I might have decided differently. But it's still millions, so probably not.

To hold large corps accountable you need clout, and the individual countries don't have that.

We were talking about the fallback system, see earlier in the thread.

Actually, I read stories that on some of the long distance trains with restauration they gave away all food and non-alcoholic drinks for free.

I have no idea which is cheaper, upgrading those or paying for one 2G network to remain on (at least enough cell towers to cover the railway network).

I'm roughly at the same level. The main improvement of vim over vi is the infinite undo, and more recently the UTF-8 support. I like the more elaborate status line and the syntax colouring, and I actually have cpoptions set to "downgrade" a few (but not all) features to how they were in vi ( notably vx$ so text you're changing remains visible while you're typing over it, and Esc actually executes the command line).

It is more like a one-line visual mode, you can actually use the same commands as there. Depending on terminal capabilities (that's why there are apparently three submodes), you can move the cursor left and right, and insert and delete text. IIRC, I once somehow got it in a very limited "dumb terminal" mode, and it printed \ for every deleted character.

I mostly used it when I logged in over a 1200 baud modem. The terminal would have supported working full-screen, but it was just quicker to not keep the entire screen visible all the time (even though classic vi is already very efficient about screen updates).

Upgrade to 4G or 5G.
