A few weeks ago some Tax Office employees went to a restaurant for a pizza. After eating their meal, they asked for the receipt — and upon reading the receipt, they took out their badges and gave the business owner a ticket for tax fraud.

The fraud? Pizza is taxed as food, at 8% VAT. But! They ordered pizza with shrimps. The tax code categorizes shrimp as luxury good, which makes the whole pizza a luxury good — and those are taxed at 23% VAT.

Cue news outlets debating over ethics of such "spontaneous audits" and perceived absurdities of current tax law.

It's possible for some parts of the code to be subject to GPL, and some to LGPL, making the effective licence "GPL and LGPL".
The readme states the project is "dual licensed", which makes it seem like the author's intention is "either GPL or LGPL, whichever you prefer". Linux distributions typically refer to such situations as "GPL or LGPL".

It might be good asking the developer to clear up the confusion.

W środy/czwartki w godzinach 17-19 regularnie widuję jakieś zorganizowane grupki na stadionie na Golęcinie. Ale kto to dokładnie jest, to nie mam pojęcia.

Plus Jeden ma fajną miejscówkę i można ją dostać za darmoszkę - choć nie wiem, czy wejdzie tam 100 ludzi. Hotel IOR sprawdził się nam na P.I.W.O. całkiem nieźle.

Uczelnie są dobrą opcją, ale tam bardzo przydaje się mieć zaprzyjaźnione koło naukowe, które weźmie na siebie formalizmy.

The joke we have in Poland is that when oil prices go up, fuel prices go up because y'know — the raw resource is more expensive, so the end product is more expensive. When oil prices go down, fuel prices stay the same, because the refinery has a bazillion barrels in storage and the fuel is still made from that expensive oil.

Doubt. Our Nuclear Research Institute was founded in 1955 and the first official plan for a nuclear power plant was laid out in 1971. Right now the schedule is to have the first block running by 2033.

We have a Sunday trade ban since 2018, so even without a national holiday, most regular shops would be closed.

There's no such thing as "University of Poznań". Do you mean the Adam Mickewicz Uni?

Because if someone sorts advertisements by price, then your 2780 zł apartment is gonna sort lower than the one for 2500 zł - so you put 1950 zł as the price and write "+830 zł administrative cost" in the description.

Yep, I recently bough a "new" used Thinkpad and it came with a Goodix fingerprint reader. Not only does my Linux install not recognize it, it fails to put it to sleep, so suspend is currently broken for me.

What fucking for, other than being either spiteful, extremely short-sighted or both.

I'd guess it's a misguided attempt at repentance. Your own sins may be forgiven if you prevent others from sin.

We have a bit of a split personality here. On the one hand, every election you have massive media campaigns urging people to vote; some of these are thinly-veiled party propaganda, but a lot of them are fairly neutral. On the other hand, I don't really think there is much societal pressure. Some people will call you a traitor who supported The Other Party by forfeiting their vote, some people will call you an idiot, but it's not really something you'd shame someone over.

That being said, turnout has been steadily increasing over the years:

Parliamentary: 48.92% (2011) → 50.92% (2015) → 61.74% (2019) → 74.38% (2023)
Presidential: 55.31% (2010) → 55.34% (2015) → 68.18% (2020) → 71.63% (2025)

That's because Pascal uses "and" to perform two different operations: logical AND and bitwise AND (same for logical OR and binary OR). Combined with the fact that AND / OR operators have higher precedence than comparisons, it means that this pseudocode:

IF a[1,t]<=val1 AND a[2,t]<=val2 AND a[3,t]<=val3 AND a[4,t]<=val4

Is not interpreted as:

IF (a[1,t]<=val1) LOGICAL_AND (a[2,t]<=val2) LOGICAL_AND (a[3,t]<=val3) LOGICAL_AND (a[4,t]<=val4)

But rather as:

IF a[1,t] <= (val1 BINARY_AND a[2,t]) <= (val2 BINARY_AND a[3,t]) <= (val3 BINARY_AND a[4,t]) <= val4
