Too bad the stationsklok doesn't actually do the Swiss-style minute break ;)

vim-athena would automatically move your cursor towards the command buttons whenever it made a popup appear

i thought that was genius, until i upgraded to vim-motif, which would instead move the popup to where your mouse cursor is

I feel like Nvidia Omniverse's main innovation is that they call themselves an 'industrial metaverse platform' even though their product is practically not much different from a game engine.

In the chart, it says 大海 (dàhǎi, lit. big sea) above "SEA", which means 'ocean'.

The easily replacable parts feature sounds like it'd work great in a university context. The uni's service desk could stock up on replacement parts and fix the phones right there instead of having to send it in for repairs.

I mean, to an extent... like it would still give passengers an earlier opportunity to correct course.

If they got off at the next stop after troisdorf they could take the local bus back to Troisdorf (ten minute wait worst-case).

At later stations they could get on the train in the opposite direction (30 min wait worst-case).

i'm a little bit sad the kernel diagram background is gone

That's upsetting. Being able to do templating without using JavaScript was a really cool party trick.

I've used it in an unfinished website where all data was stored in a single XML file and all markup was stored in a single XSLT file. A CGI one-liner then made path info available to XSLT, and routing (multiple pages) was achieved by doing string tests inside of the XSLT template.

I think that convention depends on the language, not the currency.

For example, in German it's usually written postfix, but in Dutch it's usually prefix.

yes, definitely. if you don't check the schedule multiple times per day, you're bound to end up in an empty classroom or missing class. at least once a week, in my high school experience, a class gets moved in time and/or place, or gets cancelled entirely.

it's like train timetables, you know. yes, they're meant to be the same every day, but you'd be a fool not to check the updates before you go. that's just how it is in a large chaotic system.

A coworker once implemented a name validation regex that would reject his own name. It still mystifies me how much convincing it took to get him to make it less strict.
