All this brings up long subdued memory .... my HP-25 ,which had cost me one months work during school holidays.. I still remember when I got payment and the next day walked into the shop and told the perplexed salesperson : I want this! He thought nobody in his right mind would buy a calculator without an equal sign button. Anyway I used it from 1975 to abt 1993 when the battery leaked .

I compiled and run an ethereum beaconnode on a raspberry 4. How much is this helping the ecosystem ? Why is running a beaconnode which helps validators to find the next transaction faster not being supported by fees (however tiny they may be). There seems to be no incentive to run this at all ... or am I missing something ?

It basically is a fraud with the leaseholder the victim. The system has failed. The government issued occupational permits. The fire services signed their ok. The cladding companies used false reports to get approval. The construction companies made a mess. The solicitors approved the title deeds for signing without checking realities. Now everything is false and needs to be renewed with costs beyond belief. The leaseholder is the consumer and must be protected by consumer protection law and also will need to be compensated for any loss. The government will need to foot the bill and then can claw the costs back from their own departments,cladding and construction companies as well as other parties who failed the leaseholder. The waking watch is another fraud forced upon leaseholders. Two guys walking about with their smartphones playing games or sitting somewhere catching up on study books will not cut it. The freeholder getting kickbacks from the building insurance company , which is saying that anything can be insured at a price , is also laughing on the way to the bank.

The time of the night trains in Europe was the seventies with all kinds of nice routes like Lisabon-Paris,Munich-Roma,Amsterdam-Vienna,Munich-Copenhagen,Vienna-Oostende,Helsinki-Oulu-Narvik,Bodo-Oslo and many more come to mind. Hopefully these kind of trips will be possible again.

You could also look into Firebird , there is an embedded server which provides you with more oomph , is easy to use and has a small footprint.

About 4 billion people will now ask themselves : Where is Germany and how can I immigrate ?

After looking through the lot we settled on Nim. Give it a try , it will grow on you.

Just try Nim. It is fast.

For the vim challenged:

apt-get install cream

takes care of most initial pain.

Well , there are 2 different kinds of learners. There are those who need grammar and those who do not. I can remember vocabulary but never remembered the grammar of the 4 languages I learnt over the years.

I agree. I was forced to hitch-hike in Guatemala after missing the last bus . I also was picked up by a family and sat in the back of their truck for about 100km. When I got off at 9pm they advised to only continue to hitch on mining trucks or oil tankers during the night. I still remember sitting under a huge banana leaf during torrential rain waiting for hours for a truck to stop. The driver later dropped me off in the middle of no where and said a bus would stop there by 5.30am and indeed it did stop, but it was full so I was sitting on the roof of the bus for the next three hours together with 10 other souls.
