Just guessing it has to do with this: https://nri.today/swedens-crisis-immigration-bloodshed/

Maybe the Danish government but not the Danish people.

Someone mentioned this in another comment, so I'll just copy/pasta my own comment: Yeah, that doesn't work either. E.g. it has the following stories: - Nordstjernen 1.0 (built with…

Yeah, that doesn't work either. E.g. it has the following stories: - Nordstjernen 1.0 (built with Claude) - Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?

Great idea. But the first thread I opened (Nordstjernen 1.0) is according to the comments about a project built with Claude. So it doesn't remove all the AI stuff.

The difference is important, because there are examples of GNU without Linux (eg. GNU Hurd) and Linux without GNU (Android comes to mind).

Same here (Firefox on Windows). But when I opened it in Firefox on my Android phone, it seems fine.

Some years ago I was involved with a society (club), and we wanted a webforum. But as we were geeks as well, we created a combination of a web-based solution, mail-lists and NNTP. …

My first modem (from 1987) was 300 baud, but it could be used in a split mode called 75/1200. Before that I used 50 baud systems in the military as well as civil telex systems.

Currently USA only has one base left: Pituffik Space Base (previously called Thule Air Base). They used to have about 17 bases and several thousand military personnel, but now it's…

I still have a few floppy disks packed away at the loft, but I wonder if they still work the next time I turn on my BBC or Archimedes.

As a Dane I am ashamed of the current government, but I didn't vote for them. Hopefully we'll get a more liberal government next year. But a lot of people seems to think that more …

Yes, sorry. I sometimes pass the connection Rødby - Puttgarden by car, and I have seen trains there recently. But they obviously don't use the ferry anymore.

My bad. Sorry. I see that they changed the route to go via Jutland because of the upcoming tunnel. So yes, the Italian line is probably the last one of its kind. The Danish-German …

That's not the last European train that travels by sea. If you go from Sweden or Denmark towards Germany the train crosses from Denmark to Germany by ferry (that is until the new F…

There are a few facts you should know about this: Formally Norwegian is West-Scandinavian (together with Icelandic and Faeroese), whereas Danish and Swedish are East-Scandinavian. …

For those that don't know it, Anders Hejlsberg is the guy behind Turbo Pascal, Delphi, J++, C# and TypeScript https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg

Almost correct. However, this is not a float but a fixed decimal value with two decimals. The V is not stored but just used to indicate where the decimal sign should be. Source: I'…

In Danish knee is 'knæ' and the K is pronounced very clearly. It's interesting that English speaking people have forgotten how to pronounce K before N, so the Danish king Knud beca…

Nice article. Just a couple of comments: Doesn't the x86 chips also use microcode? There are several differences between RISC and CISC not mentioned here. (also Sophie was called R…

The original BBC computer was way to small for something like this, but you could get a version of the BBC Master that was able to run GEM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Master…

I used GEM on some PCs around 1990. At that time I had an Archimedes and was studying in a computer school. I did some DTP (a school magazine) together with a couple of classmates,…

Also, mules are the result of a male donkey and a female horse. The other version (male horse and female donkey) is called a hinny in English. They have different characteristics: …
