Do you have any credible sources where Hamas made that promise? Because from what have read they never wanted to agree to releasing them

bier ,

You are right but that does work both ways.

Whatever fucked things Hamas has done, is not a blank cheque for Israel to murder innocent people.

While at the same time

Where do you live to be able to buy a house in cash after 3 years of working? Where I live the average appartment is about 400K euros and the average house is closer to 500K euros.

Maybe you can find something for 250K if you really buy something small that needs lots of work. But you still need over 80K a year excluding taxes, probably closer to 120K before taxes.

That is true, but my smart TV and smart scale both got something like 5 years of updates. Who buys a new scale every 5 years? My parents still have a scale from the 90s that works fine.

Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.

A while ago I came to the conclusion that a Casio G-Shock is the best watch. They don’t have to be expensive, a good one will sync the time multiple times a day, so it’s always accurate. A good one also has small solar panels in the watch face, so the battery will never be empty, and all of them are really build to last.

From a pure functional perspective I think it’s the best watch ever made. It basically tells you the correct time, always.

Ugh this reminds me of a guy I worked with, he used to be a trucker but became a software tester (he was also very religious).

Anyway he used to hate on open source software and call it open sores. According to him it was all amateur crap. Ugh I still hate that guy and it has been 15 years…

Exactly, if you are as big a Microsoft, you can’t tell 100% if one of your developer’s is actually being paid by a foreign government. Even if you say completely check the commits other devs make, there will still be deadlines when a code review is just “looks fine, next”.

Sometimes it’s true, like a penismodel

I accidentally killed a mouse, sorry little guy I understand my shoe smelled like cheese…

If you ban tabacco all out its going to create a huge black market. Addicted smokers that don’t want to stop aren’t just going to stop.

But, raising the legal smoking age with one year every year might work. Tabacco use is already pretty low for GenZ as smoking isn’t “cool” like it was in the 70s.

This is why most modern lids use a soft close system.

It’s basically the same as what Hamas has been saying forever. Basically both sides want eachother wiped out.

I just found out GUMBIES 7 isn’t backwards compatible with GUMBIES 1.

And yes I know GUMBIES 1 was released in 2013, but still what the actual fuck!

bier ,

The 2 things are not the same

Russia a country invaded Ukraine a country.

Israel a country was attacked by Hamas a terrorist group and in response invaded Palestine a country.

bier ,

That’s a valid point, but it’s not like the Jews never lived there, go far back enough and it’s a very different situation. That is what makes this entire conflict so difficult.

That is why I think it’s good to just look at current events.

When I search in a 30KM radius, the cheapest house starts at 140K euros. You only get 19m² (204 sq ft) so it’s like just one room? But for 150K you can get a 55m² (592 sq ft) house that’s probably a bathroom, livingroom and bedroom.

Per square feet actually more expensive, but houses in the Netherlands aren’t that big anyway.

I’m not the one you asked, but what I like isn’t really about PHP itself, but the fact that I can get dirt cheap hosting with PHP and MySQL. Every time I want to create a small “app” that makes some manual task easier it’s very useful to create something I can access from the internet.

Python is really useful for stuff like that too, but (in my experience) not as easy and cheap to use as an web app.

For example I go to dinner with some friends every month and we always forget who’s turn it is to choose and book a restaurant. So I just made this PHP page that shows the current and next 2 months with a name. So we always use that to see who’s turn it is.

bier ,

I don’t know, maybe it’s because PHP used to be the default web based language? I just buy hosting, I don’t sell it…

bier ,

I’m Dutch and use a local Dutch company, I also wanted a .nl tld

bier ,

When you pay a company and they provide you with a domain (you choose) and give you a webserver, some disk space, a database etc.

I pay about 30 euros a year for 5 websites. They are all very basic (either some php stuff I made, or WordPress). These websites have very few visitors so the hosting specs don’t really matter. All these websites have a specific domain name, some disk space, and a database.

For this price they offer PHP and MySQL. So it’s not a dedicated server where I’m root and can Install other stuff.

Is “dokter” even a male word? What’s the female version “dokterin”,“dokteres”?

bier ,

I’m dutch and didn’t even know this was a thing, is it something that is common in Belgium?

bier ,

Bedankt ik kende de term niet, maar blijkbaar ben ik (in Nederland) in de meerderheid

In onderzoek van het Centrum voor Leesonderzoek uit 2013 werd “dokteres” herkend door: 42 % van de Nederlanders; 85 % van de Vlamingen.[1]

Don’t get me wrong what Israel is doing is absolutely horrible and should be stopped.

But what I don’t really see in the comments is the question (and answer) what should they have done after the horrible attack Hamas did? I don’t have the answer myself.

When something similar happend in the States (911) the response was to invade 2 countries and a 20 year long war.

Edit to people saying how wrong I am even Biden mentioned it google.com/…/joe-biden-urges-israel-not-be-consum…

bier ,

Why exactly? Also you don’t provide any answers

bier ,

Thanks for actually answering the question.

bier ,

Is it? Because when you build a bot and just scrape Reddit I don’t think you can just use the content to train AI, just like the New York Times. The API change was definitely to sell more ads and get a higher IPO, but I don’t think it was because of AI.

bier ,

It’s funny you say that because there was a ‘hack’ for chatgpt where you could ask it something like how to build a bomb and it would refuse. But when you added TLDR it would do it.

bier , (edited )

No you’re not, the post was editted. The original one said it was all because of AI, the entire reason for the API change was to sell to AI companies.

Edit, now I’m in doubt, because if you edit a post that is shown somehow right?

Edit2, just to be clear my point is that Reddit content was never free, before and after the API change. It’s easier to get the content with a decent API, sure. But it was never free, just like the lawsuit the NY Times started.

bier ,

Do you have more information about this because I’d like to know more, I microwave a lot of stuff in plastic containers.

bier , (edited )

It’s not even that simple, because paying can be done with money, but you can also send troops, or have troops ready to protect other countries, send equipment, etc.

So it’s not that black and white who pays what.

Also I think the biggest think Trump did to NATO for the EU, is that for the first time people actually realized the US isn’t always the allie we thought. It really depends on who’s president, something before Trump most people never thought about. It also really pushed the point of having an European army and other changes like that.

In the Netherlands you pay a road tax every 3 months. The amount is based on weight (because a heavier car does more damage to a road) but also on eco label. So an electric car that has the best eco label can have less tax than an old (but much lighter) diesel car.

So you can view a video like this and not think that is the most beautiful language you ever heard?

This is probably what angels speak

Am I the only one that just did

Loves computers -> got an engineering degree -> had coworkers I looked up to all using Linux -> started using it myself -> wife and kids

bier ,

Actually it’s not that difficult, as you can see on the wiki page time is shown in

@392.51

So yeah there are fractions.

Also I don’t really see the problem without timezones, so if it’s @451 maybe that is night for you and morning for me.

It would actually make traveling easier, because you will immediately see what time it is for your family at home.

Instead of the hours at a place being the same (like 19:20 is in the evening for everyone), now we keep the time the same but we have different experiences at certain beats.

bier ,

I don’t think time doesn’t have meaning with a system like the beats system. It’s just that the meaning is more personal. For you 600 beats is dinnertime and for me it’s the moment the alarm clock wakes me up.

Dinner is still at 600 for you and your entire city or country or state (depending on how big your country is).

But for larger countries it can be that most stores close at 600 but some open earlier and close at 550 or something.

At this moment we have a system that also can be pretty confusing. Like when you have a meeting with people in different timezones. Oh we meet at 14:30? Like our 14:30 or yours? Or when you do stuff with computer systems and 2 servers are in different timezones, it’s a nightmare

I like that example, everytime you hear about some discovery that x kills 100% of cancer cells in a petri dish. You always have to think, so does bleach.

Exactly, this is how you pay off your mortgage

Why did Linux systems go for capitals in the home folder? It’s actually kind of annoying and takes extra key presses.

…A while later “XDG Base Directory Specification”

How many times did the thought, when do I need to eat the dog cross his mind? Awesome they both made it alive!
