And we can again enjoy horrible keyboards and gold watches.


EU isn't a country, it's a union of 27 countries with their separate legislatures. I live in Finland, a country of five million people. According to your math I think I'm allowed to basically burn a lake of oil every day, right?


Exactly the EU isnt a country and China still produces more pollution than all 27 countries combined.

"My maths" is that countries cannot use per captia stats as an excuse to produce tons of pollution. Would it be acceptable for every country to pollute as much as China if every country in the world had 1.5b people? No it wouldnt we would say thats to many people.

If a country wants to have 5million people and produce 15(units) of co2 per captia thats fine that is not globe threatening levels of pollution its living within their means. However if that country were to have 2 billion people and had a per captia of 10(units) I would say they need to significantly reduce that to about 2.5(units).

Whereas you'd be making the argument that the country is actually doing a lot better even though they produce 20billion(units) total.


I love Yamaha Motor using the tuning forks as their logo. It's a proper beautiful old-timey logo (well, from 1967, apparently, but anyway) and it's just so weird seeing them on a motorcycle.

Just pretend it is the thing that hold the front wheel.


Coincidentally also called a fork/forks :)


It's (hopefully) unscripted drama. People enjoy drama.


The parliament seats are also apportioned by state. I don't find that a bad idea, living in a small country, and I don't see why the council seats being divided by country is a worse idea than the system in the parliament.


I preferred Carthage in theory, but every time I tried using it in anger I hit enormous stumbling blocks with projects not actually living up to its exacting standards, then spent hours faffing about before going back to CocoaPods.

I'm happy to see the back of CocoaPods, but it kickstarted the library package ecosystem on the Apple platforms, where there was nothing like it before.


A public beta period is for receiving feedback from developers and customers.


Also Emacs keybindings. Being able to use your text editor muscle memory for editing in every text field of every native app is fantastic.


My muscle memory automatically uses Emacs keybindings for this, in editors like Pluma.. and the whole buffer is gone. Fortunately there's an "undo" option. But I really want Emacs keybindings to work everywhere. I have my various shells set that way.


> every native app

That's a very big fineprint. With three most popular apps among developers being (I imagine) browser, jetbrains ides and vs code derivatives, all being non-native, muscle memory becomes pretty unreliable.

But yeah, would be big, if it indeed was universally supported


Yeah, and Germany is expensive compared to the Nordics. 6.35 c/kWh right now in Finland, 2.54 c/kWh average over the last 30 days.

(clarification: that's euro cent, so 0.0635€ etc)


Yeah, that's pretty low. Even Denmark, right north of Germany, is paying 1/4 of what we pay.


For what it’s worth, they offer subs via IAP in the iOS App Store. If you subscribe that way, unsubscribing is just a couple of taps.

That €349 per year is pretty steep, though.
