  • The meaning of life?

    Jump

  • The philosopher Emil Cioran had an interesting take on this. If I read him right we can stop looking for the meaning of life. It won't make us happy to look, but it also won't make us happy to stop. Nothing will make us happy.

  • I'm not a fast typer, but my writing speed is limited by things like "what should I name this variable? hm..." rather than how fast my fingers can move.

  • What is your favorite quote, proverb, or piece of wisdom?

    Jump

  • Politics aside, the Rumsfeld quote makes perfect sense to me.

  • Would you reboot the router for a Scooby Snack?

  • A while ago my girlfriend ran into Peter Sunde at a conference, and she asked if he was still in contact with Gottfrid these days, and Peter replied "No, he's a full on nazi now."

  • Friends

  • I loved when Eva Funck was a guest.

  • Democrats seek to reassure Europe about post-Trump America

    Jump

  • Trust takes time. No set of laws can be trusted until we have seen them work in practice. It will take time.

  • Opposition to US has hardened in western Europe after Greenland threat, poll finds

    Jump

  • What can an ordinary person do about this? I moved my savings to ETFs that specifically exclude the US the moment Trump was elected. But my debit card is connected to Mastercard and there's no europan alternative in my country. Or is it more about the big picture and not what I personally do or avoid?

  • View from Europe: The Increasingly Convincing Case for Canada Joining the EU

    Jump

  • The area of an A0 is 1 square meter, so that's 10000 cm2. A1 is half of that, etc.

  • View from Europe: The Increasingly Convincing Case for Canada Joining the EU

    Jump

  • I get chills when I say the area of the A0 paper out loud, a feeling of order in the universe, and of beauty.

  • US dollar sinks to its lowest level in four years

    Jump

  • If a country weakens their currency to boost exports or anything, and it's not part of a cooperative environment but instead hostile, won't other countries just respond with countermeasures like a round of QE or lowering interest rates?

  • it's a simple question

    Jump

  • I wish Linux distro devs would interview you about your experience. If the goal is wider adoption, we need to understand how to make it friendly for real. Your opinions are very valuable.

  • Europe is at a turning point. Timid EU elites should take lessons from The Leopard

    Jump

  • I'm a little bit confused by this, "For decades its share of global GDP has been shrinking and its geopolitical influence eroding." Isn't this another way of saying that many poor countries have managed to get out of poverty and gain their independence? A good thing.We should keep our ideals of democracy and rule of law, but is that in conflict with the world getting richer generally? Do we need to be above everyone else to protect our values?

  • Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

    Jump

  • But.. we do want the money they owe us back right? Just not in worthless dollars.

  • Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

    Jump

  • Can we just add the trillions in euros to EUs bank account and tell the US they don't have to pay us back?

  • Do Linux distributions developers use their own distro for work in their distro?

    Jump

  • I don't have any statistics, but I've heard that OpenBSD has more dogfooding than FreeBSD.

  • Egomaniac Trump, 79, Gives Himself a Deranged New Job Title

    Jump

  • Is this like when Idi Amin called himself King of Scotland?

  • Linux Archipelago

    Jump

  • For most computer users, the OS itself isn't the hobby. It's a tool that lets them do things like writing, browsing, drawing, gaming, etc, projects of various kinds, concurrently simultaneously for reasons unknown, in a word using their computer. It does not help them to say that ed(1) is the standard editor and that vi is bloated.

  • EU states back record South America trade accord after 25 years

    Jump

  • If Hungary is against it, it's probably something that will be good for the EU in general.

  • Admiration

    Jump

  • I had to call my ISP when the connection was glitchy, and after a while they paused and asked "how many bits are in a byte?" and I said eight and then they were like "ok, let's troubleshoot this, first do this..." etc. Turns out, someone had hammered a nail straight through the cat5 cable to fasten it to the wall.
