Depends on the metric you use. If we take nominal GDP instead of area, Germany is #1 in Europe [0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Eu...

Nobody mentions $_ ? It gives you the last argument used, so: cat filename.txt grep "what I want" $_ expands "$_" to "filename.txt"

Yes, I've used it in a commercial product with 10000+ deployments. It was the only chip with BLE and WiFi, so there was no other option at the time. If the requirements were differ…

I'm not a big BASIC fan, so I've done my stuff in C, since it was a Motorola 68k on the TI-Voyage 200. I don't remember exactly how (it's 15+ year ago), but you could mark your app…

Annex K is optional and the only compiler I'm aware of implementing it is MSVC (and only Microsoft wanted that in the standard), so the support for it will be nonexistent in "norma…

Unethical because it can get the devs into legal trouble and the Chinese government is known to be aggressive in their choice of "solutions".

Unethical tip: start returning the content of this article [0] to these devices. The Chinese government will "fix" the devs for you or simply block all traffic to your site. [0] ht…

Apple is great at charging? No, they are not. I have a 2019 Macbook Pro with an Intel i9. When working, the i9 pretty much gets throttled down to the performance of an i5 because t…

And the last modification was only wording, with the same 13 years old content. [0] Always check what changed in SO posts, because this practice is very common. [0] https://stackov…

Disclaimer: IANAL In German law you don't have to assist law enforcement in building a case against you, so you don't need to provide passwords or say anything. But you can be forc…

Pixel phones seem to be an exception from that. Let's hope Google doesn't kill them too.

I've got a Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 ( https://www.amazon.de/Lenovo-2160x1350-WideView-Tablet-PC-Sn... ) for "development" purposes. It's a nice tablet with 2k screen and enough power for…

The game wasn't always at $30. I saw it for $20 a few years ago (regular price) and I believe it was even lower before, like $15, but I'm not sure. There is also a Nintendo Switch …

They have at least sales and partnerships: https://business.whatsapp.com/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but HB includes a lib of 50+ indie games with the Humble Choice subscription. Why should they split revenue with you as a competitor? edit: https://www.hum…

IIRC Texas Instruments uses 68k CPU's for their calculators. I'm pretty sure my TI Voyage 200 I've bought in highschool (15+ years ago) uses one and it's still great.

And even if there is a significant injury risk, it's still better than certain death.

It's the KIT (Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, former Technical University of Karlsruhe) in south western Germany. IIRC they have the oldest computer science institute in the co…

Just for clarification, it was not campus wide, only a small part between some institutes. Also, the hardware was not consumer grade thanks to the electrical engineering, geodesy a…

GPS can be easily spoofed. Back in the university days, we (me + a few friends) used to get some radios and antennas to create a signal stronger than the one coming from satellites…

Photographing public space is somehow different from monitoring it with a camera 24/7. Here in Germany, installing a camera which also captures the sidewalk next to your property o…
