Ah, yes, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping with some AI hallucinations dropped in, surely that'll be safe.

As a European programmer, the comma-period-decimal struggle is real.

Most higher level programming languages don't accept commas, so decimals are started by a period, and thousands can sometimes (varies by language) be separated by underscores.

For example, these are all valid number notation:

1.00
0.000001
1_000.00
1_000_000
1_0_0_0_0_0_0.0_0

If you use the final one frequently, though, your employment may experience a period too.

Using Windows for narrow casting is gore, there are far easier, more efficient methods of rendering adverts than using a whole Windows installation.

I have had the same with my job as IT developer. It was a hobby for years but then I got paid and did my hobby paid, making the hobby less fun.

Now that I've grown in my job, I'm more in IT architecture, and less writing code loosely, which makes the hobby field of IT available and fun again.

Even those Canadian eggs are relatively expensive to what I'm used to:

These are Euro prices.

"Not supported by default, but can be enabled"

If it's about Firefox, it means you can go to the dusty basement breakerbox that's about:config and turn it on yourself.

People might say "Those are not the same!" and that's true - sport events are not a constitutional right.
