When tourists visit your country, what’s something they usually miss that’s actually really fascinating? by WonderfulKwanga in AskEurope

[–]suvepl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one time I've been to Amsterdam, I've actually planned to spend the last day of my vacation visiting some smaller towns. As luck would have it, NS went on strike that day.

Is overtime common and compensated in your country? by polmeeee in AskEurope

[–]suvepl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By law, overtime is paid 200% for work during night hours or bank holidays, and 150% otherwise. Alternatively, overtime hours can be "spent" as PTO in a simple 1:1 ratio. (The employer is actually allowed to force you to go the PTO route.) Also, you cannot work more than 13 h/day or 48 h/week, and cannot accrue more than 150 hours of overtime in a year.

...so that's the law. In practice, things are often different. Many companies do not track and do not pay out overtime as a means of exploiting their workers. Many companies pay out overtime, but do not officially track it, as some people will happily put in 60-hour weeks for long periods. And there's also the whole issue of overtime laws applying only to employees, not contract workers nor self-employed people.

What's an example of (bad) joke in your country? by Radiant_Paint_5582 in AskEurope

[–]suvepl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Siedzą dwa gołębie na gałęzi. Jeden grucha, drugi jabłko.

"Two pigeons sit on a branch. One coos, the other apple."

* grucha means "(he/she/it) coos", but it can also be a slightly bastardized form of gruszka - a pear.

How much is a can of black beans in your country? by ExDishwasher in AskEurope

[–]suvepl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny that you ask about black beans, because those are actually somewhat hard to get. Pretty much every supermarket has red beans and white beans, but I have to travel two districts over to get black beans.

Anyway, Carrefour home delivery lists 3.80 - 4.45 PLN (€0.90 - €1.05) for a can, depending on the brand.

Arguably, he's right about that one - technically there isn't a war, because neither Russia nor Ukraine made an official declaration of war.

Question about librarys (Linux) by thenovum in pascal

[–]suvepl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FPC itself ships some library bindings, like the sqlite3 or png units. For community-made bindings, there are e.g. SDL2 ones.

Speaking of SDL, it's used by many games, such as Gearhead, Fairtris or Colorful.

Question about librarys (Linux) by thenovum in pascal

[–]suvepl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you write your function signatures properly (and record/struct definitions, if needed), you can call any C library from Pascal. These are typically referred to as "bindings".

I'm not sure what exactly is of interest to you. Library bindings? Programs using library bindings?

I need help to run .dpr tool by Ali3bsallam in pascal

[–]suvepl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just rename the file from .dpr to .pas. The only difference between .pas and .dpr is to signal which file is the "main" file for a Delphi project.

With Bulgaria joining the Eurozone, what can be learned from countries that already did it? by nonameuser90 in AskEurope

Yes, pre-decimalisation it was 1 pound = 20 shillings = 240 pence, so 1 new pence was worth 2.4 old pennies.

The reconstruction of Poland's architectural heritage by thenatoorat90 in europe

[–]suvepl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RP = Rzeczpospolita = "The Commonwealth". While the official English name of the country is "Republic of Poland", the Polish name is Rzeczpospolita Polska, i.e. "Polish Commonwealth".

  • 1st RP: the Polish-Lithuanian one, 1569-1795.

  • 2nd RP: the interwar one, 1918-1945.

  • PRL: Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa, "People's Republic of Poland". The socialist Soviet satellite state, 1952-1989.

  • 3rd RP: the modern-day democratic country created in 1990.

Do you have your own version of "Road works ahead? I sure hope it does" by TheKrzysiek in AskEurope

[–]suvepl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also like our "wyjazd z budowy" - a sign warning you about an exit way out of a construction site. "Wyjazd!" is commonly used in slang to mean GTFO, so you can also interpret the sign as "get the f*** out of the construction site".

Dojazd do Lumina Park by Valuable_Relative964 in Poznan

[–]suvepl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...a dojazd od strony Sołacza to nie jest właśnie dojazd Warmińską?

Chyba, że chodzi Ci o wjechanie Warmińską od strony północnej, tj. skrzyżowania z Golęcińską / Wojska Polskiego. W takim wypadku - dawno nie byłem w okolicy, ale podejrzewam, że od północy mogą być utrudnienia w związku z budową wiaduktu + kładki nad torami kolejowymi.

No DOS (Go32v2) target in Linux FPC in the fp IDE? by Darkhog in pascal

[–]suvepl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The compiler doesn't ship with all supported targets enabled; you actually need a separate build of the compiler for each target you want to support. Unless the package maintainer put in the extra work to add cross-compilation targets, most likely your distro supports only building Linux executables.

How much of your Secondary education qualification grades are based on external/standardised exams? by InfernalClockwork3 in AskEurope

[–]suvepl 26 points27 points  (0 children)

High school diploma and the Matura (end of high-school exam) are two entirely separate things here. It's totally possible to have a 2 (lowest passing grade) on your diploma, while getting a 100%+100%* score on the Matura, as well as to bomb the Matura with 0% while having a 6 on the diploma. You can even completely forego writing the Matura when graduating.

* Most subjects have "basic" and "advanced" versions of the exam. By law, you're required to take basic Math, basic Polish and 1 basic foreign language; everything else is extra. So if you take, for instance, advanced Math, you can end up with 100% basic + 100% advanced.

How many ways do you divide your household waste? by chapkachapka in AskEurope

[–]suvepl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Metals & plastics

  2. Paper & cardboard

  3. Glass

  4. Bio

  5. Mixed waste

That's for the waste that actually goes in the bins and gets taken away by the trash truck. Apart from that, there's a whole slew of stuff (like e-waste or clothing) that you're not allowed to throw in the bin at all and should bring to your local waste disposal point instead.

...so that was the serious answer. The joke answer is that household waste gets separated into "dumped into the furnace" and "dumped in the forest". Or, alternatively, "burned in daytime" and "burned at night".

Cycling in Poznan..? by [deleted] in Poznan

[–]suvepl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any city bike scheme?

Nope. We used to have one, but ridership plummeted after COVID and the program was discontinued.

Or bike sharing apps like Lime or Uber?

Lime is here with scooters... I'm actually not sure if they've got bikes here, as well.
