> Plan confirmed. Not malware — it's my own design doc. Let me quickly check proto and dependencies I'll need.

It probably did. I was in the us this summer and was similarly confused that the pump wanted a us zip code for a foreign card. I input the zip for the address i was staying at and …

It really was. Thanks for posting it

I'm quite sure yes. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/... returns exFAT and it says exfat for that partition in the disk management tool.

I just experienced an interesting exFAT issue yesterday. Apparently it has a 2 second resolution on mtime. Got a bug report and just formatted a new partition with exFAT in windows…

Plants. I didn't have many before covid/wfh, but they really make the place more liveable/ejoyable by just being there and this became increasingly important as i spent so much mor…

Its not all about cash vs non-cash. It can also be about privacy. You might not want some embarrasing item on your bank statement for a number of reasons. I would love a reloadable…

Well its not an impossible argument to understand from a game theory perspective of civilization. I don't agree with it. Much as i don't agree with the Dark Forest premise set forw…

They haven't actually found oil there yet. They just assume it exists. And it probably does. There has to my knowledge not been explorative drilling in Lofoten/Vesterålen/Senja yet…

Do they really though? I don't know any numbers, but i would imagine that the airports at least make up some if not all of the cost of equivalent railroads? I get that the airport …

Also don't buy 20 pairs of jeans etc per year. The cheap "fast-fashion" these days has a hidden cost you don't pay directly. And its HUGE.

I have never heard of this. I cannot really believe any norwegian bank would grant you anything even close that that.

~20 years ago my parents bought us(me) a new computer. A Pentium 2. For almost the exact same price(not adjusted) as the fairly well specced gaming computer i bought last year. Pri…

any decent international(EU) alternative?

Its not that they have to be hard choices. Its rather that we are only commiting to try the easy ones. And i do agree that what matters is the outcome. I just don't think we are ch…

Changing their name is not really changing what they do. I realize they are diversifying into other areas(which is only sensible), but they are still also doing what they have alwa…

Sheeeet.. Norway is in the middle of trying to figure this out. Or we are where we have always been: Pretending to do everything we can to protect the climate while actually doing …

Can't remember either, but your recollection is close to what mine is. But given that Moff knows who/what Darth Vader is it is not supprising that he takes a subservient stance whe…

It would seem so. from the article: > Massive wood walls and structural beams and columns comprised of engineered panels have demonstrated fire performance equal to concrete and, i…

Subsidizing personal vehicles sounds completely insane and irresponsible to me. The problem is that everyone ends up with their own vehicle and this gridlocks any road in/out of a …

> Many people who program in PHP learned it as a first language, hacked together programs in it, and probably used hack together libraries and tooling. This describes me very well,…

This debt, at least in Norways case, is probably mostly due to a very large portion of people buying their own home. Its a lot more common here than in other countries and when gro…

I really really really do not share that nostalgia. I live in a city center and the only amount significant source of noise is from cars/buses. Sure you will have sirens or people …

I've been using c++/Qt for quite some time now, but i really prefer to work in go. Feels like i'm a lot more productive while writing, and i don't have to spend doubledigit minutes…

The amount of waste and corruption in charities should not be underestimated. Of course a lot of them are doing good work, or at least think they are, but there seems to be an incr…
