Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.

  • Gun-related violence is going up because all violent crime is going up. Most Dutchies still underestimate how much of an influence organized crime has become, almost all of it narcotics related.

    That said, due to strict gun laws most violent crime happens with knifes, and worryingly increasingly with explosives.

    • A lot of YAML

    Jump

  • For some little config it's fine, but it's horrible when used when you have thousands upon thousands of lines of it. Lots of DevOps tools tend to use it like a fully-blown turing-complete programming language, and each has a different DSL of doing variables, loops etc. And that becomes an abomination.

    • What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?

    Jump

  • No, it's that the actual ibuprofen has that horrible tangy taste.

    • If LED bulbs are supposed to last for 10 years, why do I still need to replace them every 9 months?

    Jump

  • I already have USB sockets.

    • What is the Alabama of your country?

    Jump

  • Urk.

    • Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago

    Jump

  • I don't agree with the one you're replying to, but trademark is usually bound to a sector. I'm pretty sure Pepsi trademarked all sectors known to mankind, but many companies don't do that. If I start a bakery called FooBarBaz I can trademark that just fine even if there's a software company called FooBarBaz that trademarked the name only for software.

    • Xbox's new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error '0x82d60002'

  • This surely can't be legal? Right? Right?

    • Does this thumbnail/image flip for anyone else when viewing?

    Jump

  • Same thing happens to me. Wild.

    • Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market

    Jump

  • So? It's still a laptop.

  • As a owner of an ARM laptop: wtf are they smoking?

    • I’m guessing a character from TOS?

  • Autoplaying ads for other communities that keep popping up no matter how often you close them, would be one thing that seriously irks me about Fandom these days.

    • Honda says making cheap electric vehicles is too hard, ends deal with GM

  • The US will probably ban it for geopolitical reasons.

    I'm in Europe, BYD already is in this market.

  • Conclusion: my next car will be an affordable Chinese car.

  • Not in Europe. That fiasco only happened in the US.

    • Microsoft fixes the Excel feature that was wrecking scientific data

    Jump

  • Excel is never ever going to break backwards compatability. In fact, quite some "features" in Excel are just there to stay bug-for-bug compatible with existing systems.

    Example: Excel stores dates internally as a float - called the serial date, you can view it by running DATEVALUE on any cell that contains a date. It is supposed to be the number of days since 1 January 1900. However, since early Excel versions had to be compatible with Lotus1-2-3, Excel had to be compatible with a bug in Lotus123: they had erroneously assumed 1900 to be a leap year. In addition, the indexing is off by one. So the actual 0 epoch of an Excel serial date is 30 December 1899 for all dates starting 1 March 1900.

  • This was a seriously good shitpost. Had me for a second.

    • Vakbond lidmaatschap, welke raad jij aan?

  • De FNV betaalt haar eigen werknemers overigens ook bar weinig.

    • Amazon tells managers they can now fire employees who won't come into the office 3 times a week

  • 7 isn't random. A lunar cycle (ever wondered where the word month comes from - the moon of course) is 28 days. Aka exactly 4 weeks.
