RIP Nederlandse democratie 1920-2023.
This somehow reminds me Altered Carbon
With your username, you'd do great in the Netherlands
Interestingly this phone number complaint only shows up among techies and especially Americans. You guys don't get to keep your phone number? I've had the same number now for 20 years here in Europe, it may as well be synonymous with my identity.
In fact, I'd say the phone number requirement, or at least option, actually promotes adoption in parts of the world. I wouldn't have been able to get my mother to use Signal if it didn't work with a phone number, for instance. She's not gonna make an account just for a chat app. Phone number she already has.
I got into programming via, I kid you not, Second Life.
Wanted to animate some objects with the built-in scripting language. Turned out I was pretty good at it.
Fast forward 15 years and I'm having a decade-long career in software.
None. The statement is false. The law didn't change. What did change was the enforcement thereof.
What's absolutely scummy is that "laws are changing in your region" is not what happened. The law hasn't significantly changed. What has changes is that the regulator is finally enforcing the law.
Gun-related violence is going up because all violent crime is going up. Most Dutchies still underestimate how much of an influence organized crime has become, almost all of it narcotics related.
That said, due to strict gun laws most violent crime happens with knifes, and worryingly increasingly with explosives.
For some little config it's fine, but it's horrible when used when you have thousands upon thousands of lines of it. Lots of DevOps tools tend to use it like a fully-blown turing-complete programming language, and each has a different DSL of doing variables, loops etc. And that becomes an abomination.
No, it's that the actual ibuprofen has that horrible tangy taste.
I already have USB sockets.
Als lid van de lhbti gemeenschap maak ik me echt zorgen over wat er nu komen gaat. Een hard-rechtse coalitie zou wel eens het Trump-moment van Nederland kunnen zijn.
