Is this process generating the microplastics? If so then maybe it’s not such a great way to post process our litter.

I think this press release was written by an AI.

My son is just starting to code for a class in school. If only the author was grading his assignments…

Was on a Swiss train that did exactly this yesterday. To be fair, the delay originated in Italy (20 minutes late)and there was a minimal impact for people wanting to get to or leave from that city (Bern) as passenger on the affected train could get off one stop early and then catch another train to finish their leg and passengers trying to board the train in Bern just had to catch another train to the subsequent stop (Olten) to get on the late train there.

Finally, this was the first time in over 20 years of light rail use in Switzerland that I experienced this.

Instead of a bailout, lets do a stock offering, with the government as the purchaser. This way, the government can sell it's shares later on and get the public's money back.

I came away with a very negative reaction to this infographic. I mean visually, not the data. Some how I come away feeling very underwhelmed. The embedded flags, which are at the same height, draw my eye and make it harder to gauge the relative heights of the bars. Also, there is too little white space between the subheading and the graphic. Same for the footnote. I'm far from a competent graphic designer, but I think Statista could have done better with this one.

Get a big board. You have more to and. Our feet don’t need to be within 2mm of the correct spot to get up and going. I made the mistake of learning on a board that was much to short (basically the same size as my roommate, who could actually surf)

char* convert(char* str, char find, char replace){

    char *current_pos = strchr(str,find);

    while (current_pos){

        *current_pos = replace;

        current_pos = strchr(current_pos,find);

    }

    return str;
}

convert("H264", "4", "5")

It's a nice touch that the number of upvotes (09:10 Standard European Time)is also '666'

I have been reading German novels on Kindle. If I don't understand a word, put my finger on it and in a few seconds I get a definition. Admittedly, only about 50% or the words I check are in the built-in dictionary, but it allows me to keep reading without too much time loss. What would be amazing is to automatically generate anki cards from this. Anyone?
