nemanjaboric | 5 years ago | on: Four-day week means 'I don't waste holidays on chores'

This is very common in Germany. I worked (and work) with several people across different employers that worked 2, 3, and (this is the most common variant) 4 days per week. All folks that worked 2 and 3 days, in reality though worked 7 days, because they were working on their personal project.

I've heard (but never checked, although I did find some resources: https://www.hensche.de/Rechtsanwalt_Arbeitsrecht_Gesetze_TzB...) it is mandated by law that employer (as long as it has more than 15 employees) must allow you that.

This is similar to idx/sub files from DVD which are just images and they are OCRd to text sub/srt file. I assume it's just easier for them to render the image than to mess up with text rendering/code page issues/whatever complication coming from huge diversity of devices they support.

Yeah, the article is somewhat confusing, or wrong? I didn't see much people driving on pavement as well (I can't recall any), but had to move four of these to the side so that the lady with a roller can go through the pavement. The parking is literally - just leave them anywhere. And then they fall on the side, making them unwanted since nobody wants to drive scooter that's on the ground, so they stay there for days.

> She said parking in such a way as to obstruct traffic or pedestrians will mean a 35-euro fine -- but the Paris city council has pledged to build parking spots for 2,500 scooters.

One of the available garbage collector implementations in D (version 1) (and there's a work in progress to port it to D2) is a concurrent garbage collector which performs a mark phase in forked process going over the address space.

Also I've seen a project which persists large amounts of data to disk by forking and using a consistent snapshot of the data structures (which the new process will not mutate, so there's no need for locking).

I have (and I wear them at the moment) a single pair, while my wife has several pairs, so it might be we're biassed, but... here in Berlin, pretty much you can see them everywhere. In public transport, stores, on a street, in summer and in winter. They are _everywhere_, it's incredible.

nemanjaboric | 7 years ago | on: Vim 8.1 is available

Nevermind. If you check `vim-use` mailing group release email, you can see that there's `help version8.1` command which discusses the new release in more details.

Where can I find this "terminal debugger plugin"? Btw, terminal can be opened using `:terminal`, in case you're wondering (the release notes should really show how to use the new features).

> Luckily it's easy enough to support IPv6: just replace AF_INET by AF_INET6 and it will work with both IPv4 and IPv6! So don't you dare to ever use AF_INET anymore without a good excuse

(emphasis mine)

AFAIK, on many systems (think FreeBSD) this is not true:

https://www.unix.com/man-page/FreeBSD/4/inet6/

> By default, FreeBSD does not route IPv4 traffic to AF_INET6 sockets. The default behavior intentionally violates RFC2553 for security reasons. Listen to two sockets if you want to accept both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. IPv4 traffic may be routed with certain per-socket/per-node configuration, however, it is not recommended to do so. Consult ip6(4) for details.

nemanjaboric | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: I'm writing a book about white-collar drug use, including tech sector

I live and work in Berlin for years now, working in startups, and I haven't met anybody that (openly) uses anything harder than tobacco or coffee, nor I met anybody who said they knew somebody to do that.

Beer is common after work, once in a while. However, what you describe is definitively not normal. Not that I find that problem, or high-risk, or anything - it's just the fact that it would just surely catch attention if anybody from my work environment (30+ close coworkers) notice somebody like you're describing.
