Talking about the city population. Although more relevant would be the whole capital city area, which I see has about 250k people.

I guess the 20% dive is due to the Trump-Netanyahu oil inflation.

It seems worrying to rely on tourism, places like Bali or Maldives crippled to a halt during Covid, and even Visit Norway is considering the environmental impact of its work. But hey, money!

I wonder why Iceland thinks they still need to promote their tourism, they get tons of them already. I guess it's because of capitalism, and economic competition.

I was there 2 years ago (and previously in 2019). I had a realization that maybe 80% of the car traffic are tourists (number pulled out of a volcanic vent) going from one tourist spot to the next. I realized this while sitting in a crossover SUV with 4 empty seats.

The roads into Reykjavik have traffic jams now, probably an oddity for a place of 140k.

Political article, political comment:

Hah, nice unexpected result for Trump (and his corrupt genocide-wreaking idiot-whisperer Netanyahu) despite their chaotic action: drop bombs on Iran, oil crisis, oil price spike, everything gets more expensive because we all still use diesel to transport products, cost of living protests get co-opted by the right-wing populists to topple "liberal" governments.

Oh wait, we're talking about France and Germany; they're stooge-o-cracies themselves, trying to soothe the right to not go full Nazi, but the right spectrum would rather have the full deal, and the left hate them for it.

With drive letters, a neat functionality in DOS/Windows command prompts (don't ask me about Powershell) is that each letter can have its own "current directory".

So if you have ffmpeg.exe in C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\bin, and you have some source files in D:\SourceVideos, and you want to process them in ffmpeg and output them to E:\Output you can do:

C: (to navigate to the C: drive)

cd "C:\Program Files\FFMpeg\bin"

E: (to navigate to the E:\ drive)

cd D:\SourceVideos (you remain in E:\, but the "current directory" for D: has been changed).

cd Output (to enter E:\Output)

You can now do C:ffmpeg.exe -i D:scene1.mp4 output-scene1.mp4

and Windows accesses the files in the "current" directory on each drive letter.

I've used a Firefox extension which purpose was SQLite viewing/editing. I guess it's half "runs in the browser" and half "it still needs to be installed".

Number 1 feature: live cursors. Yeah, it makes people go wow, but I hope it can be switched off. Nothing less useful than having random movement distracting people from whatever I'm presenting...

Ah, I feel a kinship.. in 2007 I got an iPhone, followed the guide to install the homebrew SDK on Linux, and managed to get it to work to create iPhone apps. At first they'd run on jailbroken phones (there was a command to "sign" them), later I installed a Hackintosh and XCode and even got the Apple Dev program subscription and sold one app on their store.

Yeah, what a weird "conclusion".

If I was walking my dog, let it off the leash, and it ran into the middle of the road, causing a bus to brake and some people to be hurt, will I get into trouble for negligence?

Looks like the company will get into some shit for the same issue.

I can, but in this instance I don't care to fulfill your wishes. If you can't figure out the difference, you're on your own.

It's just a crappy render of a Windows VM's display, in all it's upscaled pixelated glory, it's not even doing anything webby like a Javascript engine that decodes whatever database Encarta used and rendered the data in crisp HTML.

If they had asked AI to do all the above, I'd be more impressed than this (I'm guessing) human-made slop...
