    Basically most of Jane Street's published code[0] via its dependency on Core. [0]: https://github.com/janestreet/bonsai/blob/f31661450eb133fe89...

    Yeah, but you need to know where to buy it, how to get it delivered etc. Getting a Gameboy Advance cable in Denmark is $18.5 and delivery might take a week or so. Anyway, the exact…

    Yes, I agree. It's a bit weird because finally, after decades SEPA ICT is here and could be used to back this thing. It just needs to be more user-friendly.

    Polish people have such a fear of Germans, thinking Germans are constantly scheming to screw Poland over. Whereas most Germans barely know Poland even exists. As someone who has li…

    Isn't this pretty much what Nothing are doing? At least one of their phones has a different battery rating in India than elsewhere, despite containing the same hardware.

    Using Git when it came out would have probably meant to use Cogito, which has been dead for such a long time by now. Or have bet on Mercurial. Which is also close to dead. Or darcs…

    If you bought into NFTs when they were hot you would have lost money. Not every new tech is worth investing immediately.

    All of this is true. Having lived in Germany it's quite different, but I'd argue the centralized handling of the CPR is actually quite convenient and doesn't meaningfully impact pr…

    Yeah but functionally it is the same. If the website is down it doesn't matter if I got the OTP code from a piece of paper or the dongle.

    The way it worked before was that you had basically a piece of paper with OTP codes and the website would prompt you for a very specific one. How that would've prevented this issue…

    No. As I understand it the previous system, NemID was actually (co?)designed by the banks so this is what they all use. Likewise MitID is another unholy alliance of Nets (a Danish …

    A bit of a shame that it mentions the wretched type K plugs in Denmark but leaves out the "EDB" type DK 2-5a plugs/sockets, which add a new dimension of problems to the mix!

    Porkbun has .party for $21.09 (bar the first year promotion, not sure about VAT) and INWX (DE, VAT included) has it 32.80€ . It is definitely more but not as scary as you made it s…
