> German has to be used if a single German employee wants that.

I'm not sure about this statement. See [1]:

"The Regional Labor Court (Landesarbeitsgericht - LAG) of Nuremberg had to rule on a motion by a works council, in which the latter demanded that the discussions held with it be conducted only in German. At the same time, it demanded that all communication between the branch management and the employees be conducted in German. The Regional Court rejected both motions of the works council."

Correct.

Thanks for the answer.

I think I understand what const generics are. But I fail to see a use case for it, other than using them in array literals and abstractions over arrays.

Can you share you your use case?

That really should be illegal. It's so annoying when pages do this.

OrangeTux | 5 years ago | on: Exactly-Once Initialization in Asynchronous Python

> Unfortunately this has a serious downside: asyncio locks are associated with the loop where they were created. Since the lock variable is global, maybe_initialize() can only be called from the same loop that loaded the module. asyncio.run() creates a new loop so it’s incompatible.

I work on several async projects, but I never had to use multiple event loops. What are use cases for using multiple event loops?

OrangeTux | 5 years ago | on: New Munich city government agrees to use open source software where possible

There is another interesting section in the document[1]. The city introduces the "Munich Open Source Sabatical". The city will pay professional programmers for 3 till 6 months to work on open source projects that benefit the community.

> Die Stadt München unterstützt die Entwicklung von Open Source-Projekten mit einem "Munich Open Source Sabbatical". Professionelle Programmierer*innen, die sich für drei oder sechs Monate ganz auf die Fortentwicklung eines Open Source-Projektes kon-zentrieren möchten, können sich dafür auf ein städtisches bezahltes Stipendium bewerben. Die Projekte müssen einen kommunalen Nutzen haben.

> DO NOT. Ever. Buy. A smart lock. You’re better off with the “dumb” ones with keys.

Well, physical locks are not necessary harder to pick lock than electronic locks. Buy your self a pick lock set, practice a bit and be amazed how many locks you can pick.

OrangeTux | 7 years ago | on: Attacking Private Networks from the Internet with DNS Rebinding

Very interesting write up! But how likely is it to have control over the DNS-server someone uses? You either need to setup a malicious one and let the victim use your server. Or you've to hack the DNS-server the victim already is using.

Is it hard to create a Tor node? And is it juridically safe to be an owner of a Tor node?

OrangeTux | 8 years ago | on: Tiny Core Linux

Buildroot is great! I'm using it to build distributions for several pieces of embedded hardware.

But I think Buildroot targets different hardware than Tiny Core. Buildroot targets embedded systems. It therefore lacks a package manager. Tiny core seems to target bigger systems, like notebooks, servers and desktops.

Now you assume that logo's are only for businesses. I'm looking for a few logo's for an open source project of mine and I think tools like this are suiteble to create logo's for this purpose.

OrangeTux | 8 years ago | on: Keybase launches encrypted Git

Keybase has quite a few interesting and unique features. But I'm cautious, because it's not clear to me how they are going to monetize it.

Nothing new, right? A lot of Electron based apps use lots of memory.
