Never ever confuse Germans with the German government (except if you are looking for trouble :-) ). It is well-known that what are "lawyer jokes" in the USA are "politicians jokes" in Germany.
Wow, it sounds like you've had an unusually negative experience with glasses. Mine aren't heavy, or even hard, and I certainly don't wear them 24/7. 16/7, I guess, but I definitely don't sleep in them!

If you're using systemd, you can grant the appropriate capability to the process by setting:

[Service]
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE

in its service file. Note that this will necessarily allow the process to listen to any port; there is, unfortunately, currently no way to lock it down to a single port.

I think it's an inevitable outcome of a build system that makes it so easy to pull in packages - and so easy to create and publish them.

This is why C++'s weakness - difficulty of consuming third party libraries - is actually a strength. If you have to work hard to get third party code in there, you tend to make much better choices and keep your dependencies to a minimum.

In Rust, like JS and to a lesser extent Python also, there is no pressure to reduce dependencies. So you end up with this kind of a problem. Good luck upgrading one of those packages when its found to contain a bug.
I'm just not sure what your claims about regime's repressivenes are based on. Were you there? Can you compare that with your current existence?

> The "Revival Process" was in turn followed by the forced expulsion of over 300,000 Muslims in 1989.

Isn't that exactly the action of post-Perestroika, now-democratic Bulgaria? Indeed, as I have heard most of ethnic cleansings happen in young democracies as opposed to autoritarian states. In young unstable democracy, it suddently seems like a good idea for 70% to get rid of a 30% minority (numbers may vary). After all, you can vote solidly in favor of that.

If Socialist Bulgaria wanted to get rid of muslims it would not wait until 1989. They had 40 years to do that if they wanted. They didn't. The new, emancipated one did.

Not "divs" - tables, can be parsed, and exported to other data formats easily, and are easy to recognize, without visualization.

Many websites build tables out of div's, and they may look like tables, but they are hard to manipulate/export data from.

If a table is on a website, I feel it should be easy to export it as csv, at the least, to "free the data" :D

> For over 50 years, the satisfaction of search effect has been studied within the field of radiology. Defined as a decrease in detection rates for a subsequent target when an initial target is found within the image, these multiple target errors are known to underlie errors of omission (e.g., a radiologist is more likely to miss an abnormality if another abnormality is identified). More recently, they have also been found to underlie lab-based search errors in cognitive science experiments (e.g., an observer is more likely to miss a target ‘T’ if a different target ‘T’ was detected). This phenomenon was renamed the subsequent search miss (SSM) effect in cognitive science.

I agree, it's quite accurate from what I've seen in 20 years of working in computer science. It also explains why there are no big breakthroughs today like in the old days of science. People can't decide their path of study and most research funding is only approved for projects that are 3-5 years in length and hence only have time for doing something incremental rather than new or fundamental. There are fads in science also which make it hard to get funding that is not in tune with the current fashion (string theory, AI, wireless networking). Sometimes I think that the atomic bomb so scared the world (is still scaring the world) that basic research is being kept on a leash so that nothing too disruptive is invented or discovered. The people who are at the peak of their skills are too junior to get significant grants and have to work for/on whatever the older guard chooses to work on. The older guard has been well trained in how to only apply for grants they are likely to get and not try anything too radical.

edited to add: I have not seen so much of the misogyny she mentions, perhaps because many of the PI's I worked for were women. Still, there are not a lot of women in computer science.

I didn't confuse anything I meant exactly what I said. To whit:

1. German companies are equally as bureaucratic because the people and society in general are culturally so into it.

2. German government is formed by German people voted by other German people, they aren't ruled by some aliens that came from of the sky, therefore are representative for them.

Recently I had to start writing React again after at least 5-6 years. Best way for me was to dive in with an existing bit of code that needed ported to it (sadly one of the systems we have has a React-only design system). After a few weeks I've got some pretty good code, and I'm adding tests just now (using vitest).

I found as I progressed I got to understand it a bit better (especially the use* stuff) and now I'm pretty confident again with it.

Yes, a GmbH is a corporation and mostly dissimilar to an LLC. In Germany, there's no such thing as an LLC, except for some professions. So if you want limited liability, you're only option is to incorporate.

I can confirm that moving out into the bacon belt of Brandenburg drastically improved the quality of my public services interactions (as an immigrant). Getting an anmeldung done didn't require a 3 hour ordeal and the local Ausländerbehörde answers their emails.

My favorite Berlin anecdote is when my wife (then girlfriend) and I first arrived in Germany, she was unemployed for the better part of a year as no-one would give her a chance. She actually got quite depressed about it, and reached out about state sponsored integration courses as the language lessons she was taking were expensive and she wanted to do something more holistic. The authorities told her in no uncertain terms that they didn't care and that there were no places available.

My biggest bugbear with Germany is that the state intrudes extensively in your affairs, most of the time they are being benevolent but that intrusion brings in a tremendous amount a bureaucratic baggage. And that baggage is slow, paper based, and becomes a significant barrier for doing anything. In many countries the kind of paperwork you have to slave over here just doesn't exist in the first place.

FWIW my wife and I got married in Denmark. It was impossible for my wife to provide an up-to-date (less than six months old) translated copy of her Chinese birth certificate. Theoretically she could have traveled back to china (in the middle of the pandemic) and begged her backwaters local police authority to print a new copy but they weren't obliged to issue her one. Denmark was happy with her passport and some declarations from the local authorities in Germany.

Some days I really wonder why I continue to put up with the hassle, probably just sunk cost at this point and stubbornness. Wouldn't recommend Germany for anyone with a low frustration tolerance.
Also to the point: the reason that the breeding cycles of these species are prime numbers of years is that it makes it less likely for a successful predator to evolve. To be a successful specialized predator of these species, your feeding cycle has to be a multiple of their breeding cycle which in practical terms means, since the cycles are so long, it has to be a exact match.
This has been studied in various ways. Lots of perception effects documented. For example:

Apple also introduced an accessibility setting with the disappearing sidebar that forces all apps on macOS to show the sidebar at all times. I use it [1], it’s great. It’s not Apple’s fault that designers on other platforms copy their designs but not their accessibility.

It's mostly hair that's covered anyway right? (I'm not knowledgeable on this, so please correct me if I'm wrong)

I don't see why it's a problem. Even with hair covered, the photo would still reveal facial features for identification. Hair isn't particularly identifying since hair styles can be changed easily, so I don't see a problem with allowing hair to remain covered.

I was thinking the same.

From Wikipedia:

"The Goertzel algorithm is a technique in digital signal processing (DSP) for efficient evaluation of the individual terms of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). It is useful in certain practical applications, such as recognition of dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) tones produced by the push buttons of the keypad of a traditional analog telephone. The algorithm was first described by Gerald Goertzel in 1958." [0]

It's also a nice project for an ESP32 with a MEMS microphone.
