So what you are saying is they forgot the word "small" in "arginine is an amino acid small children need to grow".

The claim is that it is a literal translation, not that it is a loan word from German. Ie the Germans wrote their paper for this new control flow in German wenn/dann/sonst, then took their Langenscheidt and looked up "sonst".

It ran great on a Performa 475 (25 MHz Motorola 68LC040). I guess that settles that old debate!

That sounds like Knuth came up with them, but the notation is much older than 1976

As a kid, I would have been all over this. The signal to noise ratio is pretty bad, but that was also true for shareware collections (how about another implementation of Mahjongg) and it didn't stop me. Granted, kids these days probably have other ways to spend their time.

France completely exited New York, the Netherlands roughly halved what they've stored there. That was in 2026. They didn't physically ship any of it, they sold it and rebought in Europe.
Germany moved 111t from New York in 2016, and, afaict, nothing since then. There's still 1236t left.
Italy also keeps over 1000t in New York (no plans for repatriation).

Germany's naturalization rate is not out of the ordinary for the EU, either per capita or per number of foreign residents. Italy, Belgium, Spain and others "hand out more passports" relative to their own population than Germany; Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands and others "hand out more passports" relative to the amount of refugees that live in their countries. Germany is very much middle of the road. So, you know, whatever.

The European plug design is also ancient, going back to 1929

I have a similar lamp that also makes you press and hold. Annoying. Yours even has that knob (mine is all touch) -- it should just have a physical detent at the end that cuts power, you know, like lots of dimmable lamps used to have.

Maybe none of the tested devices is available but another one with similar hardware is.

I was curious what they're currently sponsoring; here's another neat OSM project: https://osm2world.org/demo/?lat=52.5239396&lon=13.4104859&ra...
The current demo doesn't seem to cover many places worldwide, but what is there is really neat! To me this already looks better than modern city sim games, because they never seem to get the scale right, among other things.
Not sure what's stopping them from covering more places, since the idea presumably is to generate these tiles from existing OSM data. And in fact one of the easiest things to do with StreetComplete is add the height and type of a building.

Can anybody explain what the actual question was about? On the face of it, it's about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDoc#Cancellation I guess. And Java?
