> Don't loanwords auf Deutsch tend to end up with "das" as the prefix? Das Restaurant etc.

No. For example "Kiwi" originally comes from Maori language. In German, it is "der Kiwi" (the bird) and "die Kiwi" (the fruit). No neutral genus.

In this case, the genus even has importance what the word means - it is not uncommon in German that using different genera for the same noun is there to distinguish different meanings. On the website https://www.cafe-lingua.de/deutsche-grammatik/nomen-mit-mehr... some further examples for this are listed. So always learn the genus properly.
This is why the article confused me, HTML and CSS still work as they always have and can be published in the same way they always have. The profession has moved on in the same way all professions have, they become more complex on the promise of becoming more efficient or valuable (whether this improvement is reality seems tangential to the "web development is hard and uninclusive" conversation here). So the only conclusion obvious to me is that this is a further attempt to politicise web development because not everyone can do it professionally, the whole "HTML & CSS are seen as feminine and easy" strawman narrative is becoming tedious in the frontend circlejerk community. HTML & CSS are easy for many if not most programmers, sorry it isn't your golden ticket to a 6 figure salary.
> The modern state co-evolved with capitalism, and as a result, it's institutions are generally what capitalism needs to survive and prosper.

This is either tautological or empirically wrong, depending on what exactly is meant by "the modern state". In many ways, the problem with our current welfare states stems from the fact that they evolved under the material constraints of mid-20th-c. capitalism, when, for example, even the unskilled could easily find lucrative manufacturing jobs, and a welfare state simply had to fill in a limited amount of income gaps resulting from unemployment (generally due to short-term business crises), medical conditions, retirement and the like. Back in the mid-20th century, a baseline UBI wouldn't have made much sense, for example. The situation today is vastly different, since incomes are skill-biased to an extreme extent. Welfare states should be reformed to provide a baseline subsidy even to those who are currently working (assuming a low income, of course), while at the same time leaving them with the right incentives to improve their skills, productivity and income, perhaps in unconventional ways such as "bootcamps", MOOCs or "gig" work, that governments can't easily track or manage. Something like UBI, or Milton Friedman's proposed NIT, would seem to be highly appropriate.

because it makes reading prices more difficult. Oh that steak costs 20bucks, add a tip of about 20% so thats about 24 bucks. Which is a lot more mental work than just reading 24bucks. Its also a psychiological trick, since the 20bucks is obviously cheaper than the 24, just hoping you'd forget to calculate the tip when looking at the menu.

If I need to pay more than the menu indicates, or I am an asshole... yeah, I wanna get rid of that.

Its not neccessary to forbid tipping, but it absolutely should not be part of their regular pay. It should be extra. A tip. Not "oh yeah, you did your job as expected"

Personally I'm all-in on the trackpad - I replaced my 8-button MX1000 with an external Apple Magic Trackpad the moment it was released. To me, touch gestures are more comfortable and versatile than mouse buttons and gestures.

Edit: on the Mac you can tap-and-a-half in order to perform drags without having to keep a finger on the trackpad. The option ("drag lock") is enabled in accessibility settings, and it's the first thing I turn on.
They also sell cut tape. So you can order from 1 to 100 parts. There are however some parts that have MOQ of ~50, but those are so cheap that 100 of them would be less than 10 USD.
This is heavily dependent on fuel prices. At lower fuel prices, the decreased overheads of the larger planes (landing fees, staffing, etc) make them worth it. The CEO of Qantas is on record that it doesn't take much of an increase in fuel price for it to be better for them to run two of the (much more efficient) 787s than 1 A380. I assume the 777s are similar.
Funny they should use that analogy, since one of the achievements of "fake news" in the broad sense has been eroding people's belief in vaccination. Perhaps not apocalyptic yet but undoubtedly getting people killed.

That's probably true, but I think it's useful to fight the good fight regardless. Even if Lisp & s-expressions don't, in fact, take over the world (and I think they will), arguing in their favour might help increase the chance that whatever inferior technology does end up getting adopted is better than it could have been.

The problem is that without symbols, that ends up being hideously ugly. This:

["<", 1, 2],
"less than",
"greater than or equal to"
]

is appreciably worse than:

(if (< 1 2)
"less than"
"greater than or equal too")

And alternatives like:

{"if": [[1, "<", 2], "less than", "greater than or equal to"]}

are so much worse that I don't think anyone could seriously expect to use them.
>The resultant 12% oxygen is 60% of normal atmospheric air.

To put that in perspective, that's like being sent to the top of Pikes Peak (4.3km / 14,000') in seconds. Pilots flying that high in unpressurized aircraft are required to have oxygen masks. Most people will develop altitude sickness when rapidly subjected to that.

When you consider the potential for stress or panic in this kind of scenario, hypoxia emerges as a very real threat even for the young and healthy.

In order to be blackmailed by the US and Saudi governments, you do not need to have a lot of money. They don't really care about that, because they also have a lot of money.

What they care about is whether you have something that poses a danger to their (hidden) agendas.

If this is true, it may also mean that it is more likely that you have a lot of money (because there appears to be a statistical correlation between having lots of money and having stuff that's dangerous to the agendas of state-level global actors, likely because having lots of money means having lots of power and influence, which results in getting access to "stuff" you wouldn't have otherwise), but the former does not automatically result in the latter, and it also isn't a requirement for the latter.

Hence you can very well, through an infinite amount of random circumstances, come into possession of material deemed "dangerous" by the US and Saudi governments, while still being just a normal person living a normal life with a 5-digit net worth. Resulting in you being blackmailed by the US and Saudi governments. Most likely with quite some success.

It’s even more complicated, as even Bavarians use the articles by context, using the proper one when speaking standard German and the variation when using dialect. Alas, not everyone has the same level of dialect, especially in Munich, so you can hear both even when Bavarian is in use.

As for the plurals, the -e suffix can often both be left out and replaced with an n, so you have two singular forms for some words.

But again, without the dialect it won’t work. As the GP said, you’ll still be understood, though. As with most languages, a lot of parts are superfluous and can be determined by context.
> Oh that steak costs 20bucks, add a tip of about 20% so thats about 24 bucks.

If I find myself in a situation where the difference between $20 and $24 for a steak matters for me, I don't go to a restoraunt altogether - or choose a place with a different price range. I think it's more or less assumed that if you've gone to a place (like a bar or a restoraunt) and have glanced through the menu to get it overall price range, then you're comfortable with a ballpark price for a meal, right?

OK, then I misunderstood - you were talking about this elementary grammatical rule and I was talking about the origin of the word "Logbuch" (the latter is something that even many native German speakers do not know).

> important to not idolize or idealize the particular on-ramp you took X years ago.

I agree tremendously. As I wrote four years ago¹:

It’s not too late in 2015 to get started in computers. People who got started in the 1990’s feel that way because they started in assembly language and compilers and all that, and how could anyone starting now possibly learn all that?

What they don’t realize is that people who got started in computers in the 1960’s feel that since they started with soldering and electronics and radio and circuits, nobody could possibly learn all that.

It’s easy to start in computers at any time. You simply ignore all the stuff that’s too low level to be worth your time to get bogged down in.

And two years ago²:

You were frustrated by Windows 98 because you could not reason about it on the level you were used to. But think back on the earlier electronic enthusiasts who were used to thinking about resistors and voltages – they would have been just as frustrated by your ZX Spectrum because they would not have been able to reason about machine code by thinking about what voltages they mean. The level to reason about Windows 98 would instead be by thinking about installed programs, registry settings, DLLs, etc. If someone came to computers fresh and started with Windows 98, this level is what they would know.

And three months ago³:

[…] Hasn’t it always been the case that the current generation skips learning about useless lower layers used by older generations? How could it be that the layers you grew up are the special ones which are still useful, when all the layers which came before, which people at the time thought essential, have turned out not to be so?

Yes, which would make it behave exactly like probably every language with strong runtime typechecks. Very weird indeed. It's obviously much more preferable that the code sometimes does the wrong thing without warning.

And of course with static typing, it would be extremely weird since the code wouldn't even pass the compiler!

In my experience, not having German as my first language, you can get pretty far with guesses and rules of thumb as far as the genders are concerned. With experience your guesses will become more educated. You will start to feel the patterns in how the ending of a word maps to the gender of the noun, with some accuracy. You'll memorize some of the most common exceptions. "Impossible" delineations such as "mit das [..]" will feel wrong.

Also, by all means, memorize the delineation tables and the rotes that will help you identify accusative and dative. I still remember those from school and they never cease to be useful.

Oh, and by the way, it turns out that Polish is even worse in terms of grammar .. or maybe my mind is just less pliable these days :)
