I asked my nieces who live in Germany if they want to visit me some time. Their reply: we donโ€™t travel to fascist countriesโ€ฆ :(

Oh no. That sucks. Iโ€™m very sorry for your loss.

If you are so great at trading why arenโ€™t you relaxing on your yacht right now?

The linked article is just horrible.
โ€žUS doesnโ€™t need fast charging like this because err we sell EVs now that donโ€™t have itโ€œ
And
โ€žEV owners are used to lengthy charging timesโ€œ

How about: about time we get that charging infrastructure in place! About time US manufacturers catch up the China.

His greatest trick was making his followers believe that foreign countries pay the tariffs.

Great to see the younger generation still learning low-level programming.
When I learned Z80 assembly it was a wonderful and exciting world of pure performance - on 4 MHz

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it.  August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjรถkull to Ok (jรถkull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Where I grew up he was called Knecht Ruprecht and he beat naughty children with a club after putting them into a bag.
We were scared back then.

Continuations in Clojure are also just macros. The (go) macro will transform code into a state machine.
Other notable uses for macros in Clojure
Static type checks, custom DSLs,
generalized functions that can return multiple times.

If you or the OP hasnโ€™t been subjected to Lisp yet: macros actually are tools to implement new control flows.
(Many constructs like and/or/when are actually implemented as macros)

Isnโ€™t that just higher level functions?
Thereโ€™s no โ€žcontrol flow alteringโ€œ going on here.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Thatโ€™s such a false statement I canโ€™t even.

You can adore the technological achievements and stay skeptical about its output at the same time.

Itโ€™s an algorithm. An algorithm.
It doesnโ€™t deal with โ€žtruthโ€œ because it is not human nor conscious nor moral.

Wann wird auch der WWF klar, dass hier nur Theater gespielt wird?
Nichts von dem was COP beschlieรŸt ist bindend. Alles was bleibt ist das gute Gefรผhl mal wieder von den Fossil-Lobbyisten verarscht worden zu sein.
Man kรถnnten ja mal beschlieรŸen diese Schleimscheisser aus der COP zu werfen

Mal ein bis zwei Level tiefer gucken und schauen welche Firmen die IP Infrastruktur besitzen und welche die physikalische Infrastruktur (ISPs, Konsortien).
Da sieht es bunt gemischt aus.

Nicht wirklich. Oder man muss โ€žInfrastrukturโ€œ neu definieren.
Obiges sind Firmen, die es anderen Firmen erlauben viel Geld zu sparen. Du kannst dir auch Server bei Hetzner mieten und alles selbst machen.

Das Suchmonopol von Google wird auch grad von allen Seiten (LLMs) angegriffen.

Are there any journalists left that will investigate the reasons why 8 Democratic senators folded?

From The Guardian:
> "Though the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, did not support the bill publicly, Shaheen told Fox News on Monday that the group โ€œkept leadership informed throughoutโ€."

Warum?
Fragen wir auch die anderen industriellen Verbraucher?

Sollten wir nicht die einfach weiter und konsequenter erneuerbare ausbauen. China hat im Mai 93 GW Solar ans Netz angeschlossen.
Warum kann das Europa nicht?
