radicalized

by the way, “radicalizing” is how you get someone killed. try to talk sense into them, but don’t radicalize them

eh, that’s bullshit. the success of any operation basically depends on the quality of the plan behind it. a plan is information and therefore processed with the help of information processing machines, in other words computers (and the internet).

“organizing offline” is bullshit. yes, you can organize a farmer’s market offline, but anything more complicated than that is gonna give you a PAIN IN THE ASS if you try to organize it purely offline. the internet is the best tool for organization. because it allows information exchange.

climate change can be stopped with solar energy, and the amount of installed solar power has grown exponentially in the last few years. so that’s something positive.

if your car has internet access, it’s not yours

how is it ridiculous and pointless? fixing software is a big concern to me.

unfortunately the leap from 50 years to 100 years seems harder to do that we thought. see: human life expectancy :/

well, one thing that surely is not repairable about apple is their software. you can’t fix their operating system by installing a more meaningful alternative to it on your device, can you?

“Hold my beer” - Nintendo, releasing an EU centric revision.

i wonder, do we know what will be the price difference between the EU centric version and the international version?

i mean, you should be able to somehow get the product by buying it in the EU and shipping it to australia yourself. not sure how practical that would be, however.

you’d have to pay the shipping fee yourself and probably also get some re-seller that is willing to buy the product from within the EU and ship it to anywhere else in the world. maybe there could even be a specialized re-seller for this?

yeah “farming equipment” is an important one. fuck john deere

what does “plc” mean here?

first of all i don’t “read books” in the classical sense. i think that the better the author, the fewer words they need to get their point across. (there’s a joke from zen buddhism that says that the truly wise master does not need a single word to make a student understand something.)

as a consequence, reading long texts and the accompanying physical pain are not an issue.

i’ve seen both. there is german program code with german variable names and german comments. yeah, it sounds about as strange as it is.

// diese variable beschreibt den luftzug an den messrohren
var trötflöte = lese_zahl_aus(datenbank);

but it’s rare. most people who work in IT in germany will write english variable names and english comments.
