Ein sehr sehr gemeines Schimpfwort, wie sich herausstellt:

schinden Vb. ‘Viehkadaver abhäuten, jmdn. quälen, ausbeuten, (sich) abplagen’. Das ursprünglich schwache, in mhd. Zeit starke Flexion entwickelnde Verb ahd. skinten (9. Jh.), mhd. schinden, schinten ‘die Haut, die Rinde abziehen, enthäuten, schälen, berauben, peinigen, mißhandeln’, mnd. schinden ‘enthäuten, plündern, rauben’, mnl. scinden ‘mißhandeln, rauben’ (vgl. asächs. biskindan ‘sich abschälen’) ist abgeleitet von frühnhd. schint f. ‘Obstschale’ (15. Jh.), mnd. schinne f. ‘Kopfschuppe’, nl. (mundartlich) schinde ‘Fell, Baumrinde’, schin ‘Kopfschuppe’, anord. skinn n. ‘abgezogene Haut’, schwed. skinn ‘Haut, Fell’, wozu sich (außergerm.) bret. skant (aus *skṇto-) ‘Schuppen’ (Kollektivum) stellt. Auszugehen ist von einer mit to- bzw. tā-Suffix gebildeten Partizipialform ie. *skento-, *skentā ‘Abgespaltenes’ (z. B. ‘Haut, Schuppe, Rinde’) zu ie. *(s)ken- ‘abspalten’, wohl eine Nasalerweiterung der Wurzel ie. *sē̌k- ‘schneiden’ (s. Säge, Segel und Messer). Dazu (mit Ablaut) auch anord. skān ‘Borke’, schwed. (mundartlich) skån ‘Schorf’. Aus der Bedeutung ‘die Haut abziehen’ (von Tieren, auch in literarischer Vorstellung als grausame Hinrichtungsart von Menschen) entwickelt sich in mhd. Zeit übertragener Gebrauch im Sinne von ‘quälen, mißhandeln, plagen’ (dazu reflexiv ‘sich plagen, sich abmühen’, 18. Jh.), dann ‘berauben, ausplündern’ und ‘bedrücken, aussaugen, erpressen’ (15. Jh.); in der Studentensprache ‘sich etw. verschaffen, ohne dafür zu zahlen, sich freihalten lassen’ (18. Jh.). – Schinder m. ‘Abdecker, Henker’, frühnhd. schinder ‘Rindenschäler, Abdecker, Peiniger, Straßenräuber’ (15. Jh.). Leuteschinder m. ‘wer seine Untergebenen übermäßig beansprucht, roh behandelt, ausbeutet’ (16. Jh.). Schindluder n. Schimpfwort (18. Jh.), eigentlich ‘gefallenes Vieh, Aas’ (s. Luder); besonders in der Redensart mit jmdm. Schindluder treiben ‘ihn verspotten, zum Narren halten’ (um 1800). Schindmähre f. ‘mageres, altes Pferd’, das nur noch für den Schinder taugt (17. Jh.); s. Mähre.

Oh thank you very much. Yes, the map viewer I often use, although I've only touched Landsat and Sentinel imagery.

Luckily, our e2e tests are pretty stable. And unfortunately we are not given the time to write integration tests as you describe. The good thing would be that with these mocks we were then also be able to load test single services instead of the whole product.

We merge multiple times a day and run only those e2e tests we think are relevant. Of course, this is not optimal and it is not too rare that one of the teams merges a regression, where one team or more talented at that than the others.

You see, we have issues and we realize we have them. Our management just thinks these are not important enough to spend time on writing integration tests. I think money and developer time are two of the reasons, but the lack of feature documentation, the lack of experts for parts of the codebase (some already left for another employer), and the amount of spaghetti code and infrastructure we have are other important reasons.

Totally

Thanks, I didn't know!

Yes, I totally agree with what you said.

They currently try to buy out the digital gaming space of the internet, sell it for cheap and later on up the price. That's what big corporations usually do nowadays. Same with X, Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc. It's a big issues that we as consumers and later on citizens of our planet face.

However, currently it is a sweet deal for me. And the argument that I'd own the game otherwise doesn't count for me as I would most probably never replay it. So what's the use of owning it if it's just collecting dust in the shelf?

The argument of whose property the item is is different for me for movies, series, and audiobooks. I'm surprised that this scheme was not yet applied for books / e-books. Or am I wrong?

Think further. Don't own a phone anymore but only smart glasses.

I totally understand, but I'm always conservative and skeptical whether more than just anonymous telemetry is gathered.

You're welcome and thank you! Yes, I also tried similar joints on one lamp. It turned out that I am too impatient and imprecise to create such joints by hand. Dowels seem much easier and achieve about the same thing. The angle doesn't matter in this case as there aren't large forces involved, so (1) initial hand adjustment and glue should suffice and (2) the Kumiko frames will push the the connecting bars in the right angle anyways.

Its just butt joints with round dowels. With 12mm thick bars I think there wasn't much more space for any other dowel type. Nor do I have the tools 😄

Awesome! Unfortunately, that's exactly the kind of triangle pattern my mitre saw is too inaccurate for.

Also I cannot access the API as a regular person
