Most modern cars have hill assist, but it might still be a help to use the handbrake when starting on a hill, or at least know how to do it.

It's basically a very large sauna stone.

Yes. It was finally settled in the end of 2023.

Apps or NFC tags are used where I live.

I charge at home myself, but in the odd case where I've used public chargers I've had to install an app from whatever charging company it is, because I can never find one that takes cards directly, though they all ought to do that by now.

For people who use public chargers a lot, it makes most sense to get some subscription and get a tag for that. Some of them works across different networks. It's a bit of jungle.

The apps probably do require a card to setup, unless you get it through some company where you already have direct debit (f.i. your electricity provider or gas station monthly billing etc.)

It's not that different from gas stations. It's not possible to pay those in cash anymore anyway.

Denmark and Canada already share an empty island. The border goes right through the middle, but the treaty includes the freedom for any visitors from either side to enjoy the entire island.

You need a bigger calculator.

Sure, the purchase price is somewhat higher, but if you look at all the costs in the lifespan of the vehicle, the EVs are cheaper.

Working class people can't afford not to buy EVs.

Good to know.

It seems kind of half assed though.

I've only used it briefly to access the filesystem. Having to paste code into the reference field in the name manager is a special kind of masochistic practice.

Well, you can't make Tetris in HTML without including some other language that has loops and variables.

I'm also not sure if you can do it in Excel without using VBA, which is a programming language. Excel doesn't do circular logic in the document sheets.

Anyway the issue or joke is the lack of definition of "programming".

HTML is a text encoding system. It's not that different form something like the Morse code. It's only instructions for how to decipher a series of codes. It takes input and presents it as an output, starting from the beginning and working its way to the end.

In my very unofficial opinion, a "program" is something that is able to "run" by itself, so that the code itself has instructions for which part of the code to run.

If you decipher a morse code, it doesn't suddenly have instructions that force you to go backwards in the code and decipher from there or to jump to different sections. The text output might tell you to do so, but if you follow the text, then you're doing something else than deciphering morse code.

HTML works the same. It start from the top and interprets its way down. It can have some conditional statements, but nothing that will make it go backwards and rerun the same instructions again.

The interpretation is of course more advanced than Morse code and it can call other languages to do stuff, so HTML is basically a document describing a job procedure in that way. The individual jobs can be reoccurring tasks, but the document itself isn't.

So in my opinion it's not "running" anything. It's just a document being printed on screen.

I'll admit that "one-shot" programs are a thing, and documents with variables do exist, so it's not clear cut. A programming language should be capable of those things though, and HTML isn't one on its own.

They're not above. One of them is to the left.

I don't know if it it'll be live streamed, but it will definitely be filmed.

They are currently making a documentary about him which will include the final show, so I think it's very likely that the full concert will also be released separately. That seems to be the standard for these kinds of events.

Germany has fewer than average road fatalities than most of the world. Less than average in Europe too.

It's not really statistically noticable in that regard. Not the best, but far from the worst.

I think Star Trek lends itself well to memes, because it's already a show where obscurities are questioned.
