But you can just re-roll until you get something good.

Really? How large? I’ve only managed to crash it with hundreds/thousands of files so far, but haven’t so many huge files to deal with.

I kind of assumed brexit would make people give up pretending, but that doesn’t seem to have happened

English is the most widely spoken language. It is the language you are most likely to have in common with a random European citizen — in the same way Chinese is the language you are most likely to have in common with a random Earthling. This doesn't mean if you do something in English (Chinese) the whole continent (planet) will understand it. It is very useful to know. Especially if you talk to someone who travels internationally a lot, some rich businessman or non–local politician, they surely speak English too.

It's still going to be English, although not by a huge margin if you include non-Mandarin Chinese.

That doesn’t make a difference though because of the cloud act

According to a quick search the nyc subway is $2.90 rising to $3 next year. This is comparable to, but slightly less than a zone 1 off peak ticket in London at £2.70. Most journeys are more expensive (on the train, busses are pretty cheap here)

While I don’t disagree, I think it’s worth noting that the Netherlands has a pretty good level of social housing. Not perfect, but I think it’s 26% based on the stats link in the parent. Also rent controls. Although these also tend to reward people who have been in the system longer (which _might_ be by design, but that’s just like my opinion)

Social housing and rent controls are not a substitute for basic tax fairness. Of course, as a political tactic, it’s a great way to distract from tilting the entire tax system toward those who already have the most rather than trying to at least try to achieve some sort of a level playing field.

Maybe? You can deduct losses. If you have to sell a little of your crypto while the price is high to pay your taxes, then what have you lost after it goes to zero? At least the tax office get something out of it in tat case.

I’ve often wondered the same. The op doesn’t go far beyond:

> The era of XML is in the past.

Which is about as deep as it seems to get. My suspicion is that the reason people don’t like it is because it’s a bit of a pain to work with in JavaScript

More generally XML is so thoroughly out of fashion that it is perceived as driving resume-driven architecture backwards in time, into an unfamiliar "dark age" of deliberate engineering decisions.

XML has a DOM API. And most people use JavaScript in a browser to manipulate the DOM. So I would say among all the language it should be the JavaScript devs that are the most proficient at the DOM API.

Once you have learned the DOM API, it’s pretty much universal. Things like Document.getElementsByTagName not only work in JavaScript but also in Python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.dom.html#xml.dom.Docum...

Why do you keep saying she wasn’t imprisoned? She was imprisoned in a convent and then in a mental institution.

I guess they decided that auto play video wasn’t _quite_ irritating enough
