I see this as a good thing. It means that we'll (hopefully) get stricter security revolving around using these numbers. It'll no longer be enough just to yap out a 10 digit number to "verify" you are who you say you are. We already have a (albeit heavily critiqued) national 2FA system in place (MitID).

We'll have to start treating the CPR number as just a username, instead of a password. It should never have been "secret" in the first place.

I think it's 8 Harry Potter and 3 Fantastic Beasts films.

This bell would be illegal in Denmark, where our laws clearly state that you are only allowed one signal giving device and that any signal giving devices attached to vehicles (including bikes) can only produce one constant sound.

How this would be enforced is a different topic.

I wrote both my master thesis and PhD on Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes. I really enjoyed it's simplicity, expandability, and was always amazed that it inspired and influenced language constructs in Go, Erlang, occam and the likes.

The DKK5499 is with VAT. If I enter a San Francisco zip code, it still only comes out to about USD654.

Ugh. Why is is so much more expensive in Denmark? Here it's DKK5499 for the 256 GB version. That's USD857.

AI slop - or worse, somebody trying to hide something.

Since using `def` to create a method returns a symbol with the method name, you can do something like this too:

  memoize def expensive_calculation(arg)
    @calculation_count += 1
    arg * 2
  end, ttl: 10, max_size: 2

  memoize def nil_returning_method
    @calculation_count += 1
    nil
  end

I was always told that the best position is always the next position.

It's like the Monty Hall problem, switching is always the better solution.

I hold a PhD in computer science. I have more than 10 years of experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I've helped build and scale frontends, backends, and APIs in general. I'm ready for whatever you throw at me - and can easily learn new technologies and languages, if needed.
