In Denmark we have the digraph "aa" that is the same as "å". Since "å" is the last letter in the Danish alphabet, "aa" must be sorted likewise. Hence the ordering Aalborg -> Allerup -> Middelfart is incorrect and the correct ordering is Allerup -> Middelfart -> Aalborg.

The exception is if two a's are pronounced as separate vowels e.g. due to compounding words: "ekstra" + "arbejde" gives "ekstraarbejde" but here it is not pronounced as "å" so ekstraarbejde -> ekstrabetaling is correct ordering as well

If you don't understand how a lever works, then it's a problem. Should we let any person with an AI design and operate a nuclear power plant?

Riot’s $250 million ‘Arcane’ TV series was a Netflix hit, financial miss in c/arcane@lemmy.world

[–] Ebber 3 points 5 months ago

This seems to be an issue with selling the show rather than budgetary issues. Disney's Moana 2 budget is 60% for the entirety of Arcane, and in general their average budgets hover around $200 million. Selling the rights to each episode for $3 million a piece is a steal for Netflix.

Minimal Voting Data of 2020 and 2024 US presidential election. in c/dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world

[–] Ebber 8 points 7 months ago

According to Wikipedia data, it's a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from 1.9% in 2020 to 1.6% of votes that didn't go democrat or republican.

Though 5% of the votes are still not reported, so that might change still.
