This looks interesting! Not sure yet how I feel about the (missing) password authentication. Instead a mail with a login code is sent (which seems to work for this.. )

I agree, however, it ran on our own server so it was OK-ish.

Just out of curiosity: do you mind sharing which locale/area this is?

I created something similar ~2 decades ago in perl. It would spit out a long list of passwords in text format so you could chose one without the server knowing what you chose.

Today, keepass does the job just fine.

why does it matter?

Č, obviously. The keyboard's (1) letter c will be repurposed.

(1) I really hope this is a correct usage of the apostrophe.

So let us proceed to the real challenge: christmas lights. How can you avoid the guaranteed swearing the following year?

Done, thanks for pointing it out!

I was there recently and visited Sarajevo and actualy faced this as a real world problem: wanted to order bosnian coffee in a restaurant but was kind of unable to express myself.

If you order coffee (kahva/kafa) in Bosnia nowadays, you are likely to get whatever comes out of the machine installed at the bar.

To get the real deal I had to order using one of these expressions: domaća kafa/kahva (homeland coffee? native coffee?) naša kafa/kahva (translates to "our coffee")

or

bosanska kafa.

However, traditionally I guess coffee was just called kahva/kafa as it probably was not distingueshed between the verious forms of preparation. And also calling it turkish coffee would seem ok, as the whole area is highly influenced by (ancient) Turkey, not only linguistically.

I have never heard of that lazy version. Here is how probably most Bosnian families would do it:

- Grind coffee beans as fine as you can, much finer than for espresso

- in the meantime, make sure to boil your water and then put it aside.

- heat up the džezva (turk: cezve) slowly for a few seconds (so that water that is poured in does not cool down too quickly)

- take 9g of coffee powder per cup and put it into your džezva. You can vary the amount to your likings. I take 18g of coffee for around 360ml of water.

- with the džezva still on the hot plate pour around 1/3 of the water slowly into the džezva. The water turns into a foamy dark liquid. Gently adjust temperature so that the liquid is slowly heated. This will make it rise due to the foam on top.

- Let it rise to about 2/3 of the džezva. Remove džezva from the plate, let the coffee set a little (to about 1/2).

- Pour more water into the coffee, again to 2/3 of the džezva

- put džezva back on plate, heat it up and let the coffee rise to 1/1 of the džezva

- remove from plate, slowly fill with water until the level is back to 1/1 (foamy liquid is setting again and will allow you to add more water)

Your coffee is ready to serve. Serve in fildžan or small cups.

Edit: formatting.

Please quote. My understanding is that they managed to find a way to do it without human supervision almost real time using video (=multiple images)

Fully agree. It seems nobody understands it in the sense of Business Processes/Workflow modelling anymore and it is arbitrary used for "something to do".

This is very close to the netbook product category, such as the Eee PC by Asus or the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 or similar. Slightly larger than that popcorn thingy, but still very portable and could actually fit a larger pocket. I still own my IdeaPad S10 from 2008 and it runs just fine.

Most of SAPs code is ABAP and is visible, debuggable and even hackable by the user.
