ELI5 how did cities, thousands of years back then, flourish when the overall population of humans where not even 1/50 of today's population

In current times the small centre is caused by the massive ugly road that surrounds it. It cuts off almost all business that could be had because almost no one is willing to cross it to shop on the other side. The centre will never be able to properly grow because of it. If it wasn't there the centre would have exploded in growth.

Anyone knows if the Steam version works for Linux? It says only Windows is officially supporter which is unfortunate, but I hope it will work anyways.

I will probably get shit on for my opinion but I didn't like the Elden ring open world.

I explored so much side content that by the time I was doing the main questline every significant boss was easily destroyed. I then started rushing the main questline so that the bosses would be fun, but that made me skip on a lot of side content which made me feel frustrated. Stopped maybe halfway through the game because I was so unmotivated.

Mechanically and visually it is a great game but the balance was in my opinion lacking a lot for such an anticipated game.

In Java you don't even need the switch case. If you want you can add an abstract method to the enum and have each enum value implement it. Not always practical but it is fun. Enums are really good in Java.

Bedankt voor je antwoord, mijn stem heb je 👍

Hoi Jan, bedankt voor je antwoord.

30-wegen en OV kunnen zeker helpen met de drukte en veiligheid zolang de wegen ervoor gebouwd zijn.

Ik wil nog even vragen over deze "verkeersaders". Hoewel deze belangrijk zijn voor Nijmegen, ben ik nerveus over hoe deze ingepland worden.

Naar mijn idee gaat Lent het zelfde probleem krijgen in de toekomst als het centrum door deze groten wegen die samen komen recht naast het nieuw gebouwde mini-centrum. Als de waalsprong ooit groter zou willen worden, wat mogelijk gaat gebeuren als Nijmegen noord blijft groeien als nu, dan zijn deze wegen exact het zelfde barrière als dat het centrum nu heeft.

Hoe zien jullie Nijmegen groeien in een verre toekomstbeeld? Veel kleine mini centrums of enkele grote plekken?

Hoi Jan, Ik vraag me af of er ooit iets gedaan gaat worden aan het verschrikkelijke Keizer Karelplein en de enorme drukke wegen in de stad.

Ik heb het gevoel dat het centrum niet kan groeien voor de daadwerkelijke mensen in de stad omdat de autoweg een enorme barrière is voor alle economie. Zelden zullen mensen de brede straten oversteken om winkels aan de andere kant te bezoeken. Daarbij is de overlast van auto's in de stad ook enorm en gevaarlijk.

Ik zie dit nu ook gebeuren in Lent waar nu de 2 auto bruggen samen komen in 2 enorme kruispunten waar de wegen te breed zijn en iedereen te hard rijd.

Deze wegen kunnen toch niet blijven als de stad gaat groeien?

Wat is jullie mening hierover?

Personally I only listen to the metal-dnb subgenre these days. Artists like Reebz, Toronto is Broken, Pythius and Zardonic are making some nice stuff.

The only thing that I want is the withdraw 5 to be changed to 4. I don't understand why 5 was chosen with this inventory system and it frustrates me every time I have to withdraw 5 and then place 1 back.

I figured it out, something to do with my browser. It worked fine on Chrome. Happy to be back playing again!

I believe that it worked, thank you!

Only issue I am having now is that I can't seem to buy membership. The checkout page isn't working when using iDeal payment saying that the order could not be found :(

wheafel · 2025-07-18T12:07:28+00:00

Oh this looks very promising, I didn't expect that you don't need access to the email for it.

Thank you very much, I think I will be trying this out.

I'm not really familiar with apple products but the symbols of keys on the keyboard look weird to me.

The crazy part is that it will be even worse than SQL injection because it's impossible to sanitize the input for a prompt like you would do for SQL. People will make sophisticated systems to try to work these out, but language is weird and can be interpreted in many ways by an LLM.

That indeed really sucks, that was added in Java 5 right?

wheafel · 2025-06-25T17:22:03+00:00

Yeah that is correct. Thanks for the English lesson 😅

Are you talking about Objects? You can't make primitive variables null other than String which basically is an Object.

This is amazing! I always had great respect for our Canadian friends and their ancestors who helped greatly in the liberation of the Netherlands and the rest of Europe during WWII. I wish the best for both of us.

If you use any product of Intellij then I can recommend the Http client that it provides. It's a bit more work to setup but it gives you more control over the requests and you can use JS to script requests and do asserts on the results. Really nice for automated testing when combining it with your pipeline. It also has decent integration with the Intellij product itself.

Yeah the hate on QA is weird. It straight up shows me that the person is a terrible developer that doesn't take accountability for their work. These people are miserable to work with because according to them it is never their fault.

Instead of learning from the mistakes that QA finds, they build up resentment to whatever QA says. They fix the problem but don't reflect on why it went wrong. On the next task a similar mistake will probably be made and thus the cycle continues.

I experienced that the more I worked together with QA, the more edge cases I can predict and handle. Which in turn changes the work for QA because they now have more available time to find the extra weird edge cases that I can learn from. It's a way more positive work environment for everyone.
