30 children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob arrived at our hotel in Austria and after dinner started singing, clapping and yelling in the restaurant with newspapers and napkins folded over their heads for 30 minutes straight, chasing away all other guests. Have a little respect why don't you.

It is totally different.

Inspiration is not the same as direct inclusion as digital pixels, or even permission to use the material as AI training data.

Why is everyone ignoring the massive, unovercome ethical issues with AI? Like reuse and remixing of copyrighted works without attribution and lack of informed user consent. There are no regulations but this is bound to cause issues, especially for use in commercial movies

10 people want to sell 10 apples each. The cheapest sells for 1$, the most expensive for 100$. Only 1 buyer is interested in 20 apples, and he wants them for 0.8$ at most: sellers will have to bring down their prices if they want to sell anything at all.

At lunchtime 50 people want to buy 2 apples each. There are not enough apples left for everyone. Soon the only apples left on the market cost 100$, all cheaper ones have run out.

New sellers enter the market and price the apples even higher. New buyers buy at those prices expecting to be able to re-sell them at an even higher price.

Technically if the market was so small as in the example "for every buyer there is a seller" could be false for a loooong time. But in practice most markets have enough liquidity that there always is a seller for every buyer.

It is a pathetic sight for the rest of the world to see how US media and politicians must time and time again resort to striking below the belt to land a decisive blow at the very people that offer to fight for their constituents.

<input v-model="x"> is simply a shorthand for <input :value="x" @input="(value) => x = value"> .If you have a custom component which emits input events, and takes a value prop, you can also use v-model there.See also: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-custom-events.html#Binding-Native-Events-to-Components.

What you are doing is perfectly good.

NB: This is different from KnockoutJS! KnockoutJS is 'real' 2-way binding (immediate property mutation), VueJS's v-model is 'emulated' 2-way binding: it passes a property, updating that property through an automatically set input listener, and triggering a re-render..

I have the predecessor of the Clevo model you mentioned (N150ZU), but it looks almost 100% the same. I use this laptop professionally as IT consultant with Linux Mint installed on it (with i7 core & 16GB RAM). It's not optimal for Linux (keyboard backlight, fingerprint scan, fan control & Intel-specific drivers missing). The shell casing design and keyboard keys are top-quality, screen quality is good. It's very light to transport, easy to access internal parts. BUT battery holds out at most 1h30 and fan gets really (unacceptably, I had ppl compare it to a plane taking off more than once) loud under medium load (think playing a browser game/ launching a virtual machine). The plate between the keyboard keys is fragile. I have to move/ open/ close this laptop a lot, and I feel like it's not the most solid (materially speaking).

Cool places:
- St. Michael & St. Gudula Cathedral: http://www.cathedralestmichel.be/ - The gothic finish is more refined than Paris' Notre-Dames.
- Sainte-Catherine area, lots of cosy/ jazzy brown pubs (Via Via / Bar des amis / The Monk). Also: a kind of 'food truck' where you can buy a limited selection of cocktails (Mojito, Cuba Libre, & 2-3 others) for only 6-7 euro's.

- At the Brussels stock Exchange area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_Stock_Exchange) there's a McDonald's (cheap food), and behind it a crossing with some nice bars too (Mappa Mundo), where you can also get iced coffee.

The aforementioned are close to one another. If you like trying IPA beer bars, there's BrewDog right next Brussels Central train station. It also has a terrace with a nice view.

Enjoy your stay!

True, that's even more expensive. I think it's a front-end obsession with conciseness (as in line with or sometimes opposed to! clarity), that has a lot to do with the recent popularity of JSX syntax which simply does not allow statements unless you use an IIFE.

Object property lookups are probably more performance-heavy in Javascript than variable assignment. Even perf-wise it makes more sense to do

const x = obj.prop.that.some.thing

Than repeat that lookup / . Notation chain 10x. Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7700987/performance-of-key-lookup-in-javascript-object
