I used to not understand how people could spend so much money on a single meal at a really fancy restaurant.

But then, on a special occasion my wife convinced me to go to a Michelin star restaurant. It was amazing, honestly the best “food experience” I’ve ever had, so many crazy flavours, etc etc.

So now, i can understand why someone might go to a very fancy restaurant once or twice a year. I probably still won’t, but I do understand why someone would.

Depends on the specific urban environment. Biking in most German cities is lovely

You clearly just need a more heavily armoured bike. You should start running down the fords!

Apps can definitely work. I met my wife on Tinder, and i know two friends of mine who used Bumble specifically to find friends after moving to a new city, which worked and they now have an active friend group there.

why are there fans of operating systems in the first place

Operating systems are huge endeavours of engineering and design by entire teams of people over decades, which are used literally daily. Is that not enough of a reason for people to be fans of them?

German “Schlager”

He’s the Ken M of linked in

My wife (then gf) and I moved in to the current apartment when we were ~25 (we are now almost 30). We made little notes introducing ourselves for all the neighbours, and one couple responded by bringing us a bottle of wine as a gift. We ended up friends with them, playing board games, video games, D&D, and the occasional party. We dont hang out consistently, but its nice to have friends in the building.

Can someone be pardoned before they are tried?

And anything less than 10 means you didn’t like it?

“hide behind science justifications” maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but isn’t basing opinions and world views on science exactly what people should be doing?

The soundtrack on this video was a banger too

Surely “compiled” Vs “scripting” langs is better than throwing around (at best) meaningless terms like “real”

Haskell: deriving Eq

I’d happily work until 6:30 on Thursday if it meant I’d get Friday off completely, with no less pay

Mostly the ownership model, trying to remember which functions expect borrowed types or not, etc.

The error messages in rust are really good, so I can usually make the code work quickly, but I need to properly understand the reason behind the error in order to learn, so that’s when I get headaches

Rust is definitely a really cool language (as someone who has played with it just a little) but it’s quite headache inducing, at least for me at the moment.

For some reason it bothers me greatly when people talk about the number 2 being special because “it’s the only even prime number”. Like of course, that’s literally how they are defined. It’s like saying “did you know 3 is the only prime number divisible by 3?”
