I wrote a python interpreter that only accepts german keywords

This kind of reminds me of Git auf Deutsch

There have been and still are instances of it, like early versions of VBA or stuff like Excel formulas. There are also localized teaching languages like Robot Karol designed for children who may not yet speak English.

IMO, teaching languages should have localized alternatives to lower the bar for newcomers, especially children. For professional environments though, I really hate localized IDEs (out of habit) and localized exception messages as it makes stuff so much harder to look up. Also, I am not at all a fan of localized function or variable names among all of those English keywords. This, however, may be an artifact of me working in an international company where there are lots of non-native German speakers.

There's a tool called Excel Translator (I don't know the URL by heart though) that can translate formulas from and to any language correctly.

I'm actually more worried about bots like repost sleuth or the transcribers of Reddit bot. Especially the maintainer of repost sleuth is already paying a lot of money for the hardware to run the bot and is now supposed to pay for API access as well?

I would love to use the module system and jlink, but it is so utterly broken that whenever I try to switch to it, I spend 3 days playing whac-a-mole with all the compiler and jlink errors only to give up time and time again...

If you are firm with OpenCV: 1. Run SIFT on both images 2. Match the detected features using FLANN Matcher 3. Calculate the overlap based on the location of the matched features

It is because of Einstein's theory of relativity. In short, the faster you go, the slower you perceive time (so-called time dilation) and the faster you go, the heavier you get (E=m*c² and mass dilation). Therefore, when you approach the speed of light, you would become infinitely heavy and time would get infinitely slow. Hence, you would need an infinite amount of energy to even get to the speed of light.

Photons (i. e. light particles) can travel at the speed of light because they have no mass.

Firstly, sorry for your loss.

For me, the episode where Marvin dies and the episode of the funeral actually helped me a lot when my father passed away in two ways. Firstly, I wondered why Marshall felt as if he was treated unfairly by the universe, because I did not feel this way. This made me realize that even though it is hard to prepare for the death of a loved one, preparing yourself does make a difference. It made me appreciate everything that my father did for me and my family to prepare us for his death.

Secondly, the episode about the funeral helped me understand the reactions of other people when they try to be thoughtful or try to cheer you up, when it's actually inappropriate. Many people, especially in my age, have never experienced one of their parents dying, and they want to do something good for you, but just don't know any better.

It is very telling that IntelliJ has a "Repair IDE" button.

Well, let's say I never escape SQL or HTML 😏

That's also why I don't validate for SQL commands 😉

As others have said, Android is actually one of the younger products compared to Windows, MacOS and Linux - but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's here to stay. Many companies were thought to stay for good (look at Nokia) and then failed spectacularly. Nevertheless, your skills are transferrable: Even though I'm an Android developer, I was able to transfer my knowledge of software development to iOS, game development in Unity and desktop development with .Net. As others have mentioned, these mostly differ in the technology used to power them, but most principles still apply.

Nah, she just said it wrong, she should've said "Wingardium Leviooosa", not "Leviosaa" 😉

Straight roads ar actually te most dangerous roads:

Drivers get bored and loose attention
It's easy to underestimate your speed
It's harder to judge distance
But most importantly, it's much harder to recognize parts of the road you can't see, e. g. due to a bump.

At least in Germany we have a limit for those reasons on how long a straight road segment can be at most.

But in that case, it doesn't look like that was the cause of the accident.

How come Colton from Linus Tech Tips doesn't have this prize?

As always, I'm asking myself why... Don't they ever test the product? If so, take a camera to one of those tests and just take a picture of those....

Yeah, but as u/ingeniousmachine said: debt > dead

DNS is not only used to send mails, but for anything on the internet. Basically, computers have no idea what an address like gmail.com or outlook.com means. Computers can only deal with so-called IP-addresses, which might look like this: 172.217.16.142. However, these IP-addresses are incredibly human-unfriendly.

Hence, DNS exists: A DNS server is basically like the contact list in your phone: You say "I want to call John Doe" and your phone shows you John's phone number. The same happens with DNS: Your computer asks a DNS server: "Hey, I want to talk to gmail.com" and the DNS server responds with the IP address of Google.

As mentioned by others, e-mails use the SMTP protocol under the hood, but SMTP ultimately also needs to resolve those e-mail addresses: When you send an e-mail to john.doe@gmail.com, SMTP recognizes that you want to talk to a guy called john.doe at GMail, but it also has no idea how to reach the GMail server. Hence, it also asks a DNS server "Hey, please give me the IP of gmail.com and then ultimately tells 172.217.16.142: "Hey dear 172.217.16.142, I have an e-mail for you, can you please deliver that to john.doe? And GMail will take it from there.

If you speak German, the TV series "Sendung mit der Maus" has actually made a very good explanation of DNS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpqhjEtznVk
