what, Germans love the Eiffel tower

this is because people don't even recognize the buildings. Even I only recognized the commission and the ECB. I think if we put them on our money, citizens will recognize them more…

I think it's the other way around. Many people have no idea about how the EU works and what exactly is going on there. I believe highlighting the key institutions through their ico…

Okay but would people in Spain really have an issue with da Vinci? isn't he cool af to everyone? isn't the Italian renaissance shared European history?

I think that actually these specific people would be a great choice for the Euro banknotes, because they are inspiring across borders. None of them are "national heroes". In German…

You know what, I have seen many hypothetical criticisms like this, but not a single complaint from someone whose country would "not be represented". Maybe this just isn't a problem…

It actually looks like an open source German model that might be useful! However, I'm not sure which version I should try - they provide two reasoning versions.

I have a quite specific use case. I work for a government agency and we run our AI assistant with models from Azure, which works fine! (Although the models aren't always released w…

very fun to feel how a word with many repeatead letters is really much easier to spot, because the necessary search algorithm is just that much faster!

I was just about to post the same thing. The fun is not just in solving the puzzle, but in solving it in a specific way (hub word first, purple category first)

It's a different country, and Switzerland is not even in the EU.

Sovereignty is a political buzzword. From the political point of view, you want your country to be as independent as possible. This means you need the capabilities to build and dep…

We also have Eventim and many other local ticket shops. I usually get my tickets right at the venue's online shop, or maybe from the artist. They use all kinds of systems.

Adding full interoperability with Matrix clients as a paid add-on to Teams would be this

Wero's messaging is so confusing. It's so many different things at the same time. In short: Wero is a brand name for a collection of payment services. They are merging multiple Eur…

no, this is just about the shape of the quote. There are straight quotes: ' or " and there are curly quotes: ‘ and ’ or “ and ” "curling" then just means "figuring out whether it's…

Having a heat pump for heating is then really important, as compared to a simple resistive heating element

Haystack is a popular Framework for building AI agents: https://haystack.deepset.ai/

In Germany, we have the similar portal https://opencode.de (no relation to the coding agent) It's built on Gitlab and does everything you need your git to do. They also provide har…

Fun read :D At least I'm already working for the government, so I'm on the right track ;)

Hey, I have a question that might resonate with other early-career SWEs. How do I become better at the "serious" parts of work? I got a maths-heavy master's degree in computer scie…

and crucially, foam has to be above the line. There is some back and forth around whether it's legal to serve beer in traditional ceramic steins, where customers can not verify tha…

but this breaks the entire premise of the agent. If my emails are fed in as data, can the agent act on them or not? If someone sends an email that requests a calendar invite, the a…

I don't understand the need for e-voting. Germany's entirely paper-based system works fine! After voting closes, volunteers count the votes for a few hours and we get a result.
