It’s called India (translated) in Turkish, and many European languages
TIL that “kalkun” (danish word for turkey, the bird) actually comes from Calcutta, as in the modern day city of Kolkata in India. Wow.
- Comment on Anon disturbs the Force 4 weeks ago:
most users are older than their late 30s
I think you’re slightly overestimating there. We ran a survey on Feddit.dk and the average age was 34, median 32. So more like early 30s or late 20s

Very well laid out. Biggest problem is that the people watching his channel are probably likely to already understand the problem. Certainly almost everyone here understands the problem. Preaching to the choir and all that.
Hopefully we can get more people to see it as an issue in the future.
- Comment on Anon compares Harry and Ron 5 weeks ago:
The only person that “chose” him is his mom, which makes him equally special to almost every other person on the planet.
Honestly it’s kinda fucked that in the HP universe, apparently no other mother than Lily loved their child enough to sacrifice themselves and use this love protection magic on them.

Am I the only one that feels it’s a bit strange to have such safeguards in an AI model? I know most models aren’t available online but some models are available to download and run locally right? So what prevents me from just doing that if I wanted to get around the safeguards? I guess maybe they’re just doing it so that they can’t be somehow held legally responsible for anything the AI model might say?
- Comment on Anon is going to get a call from HR 1 month ago:
You’re definitely not supposed to be looking at what anon is doing and finding it good or interesting. This is more like a zoo where the exhibit is the strange, chaotic and sometimes racist creature that is Anon.
Personally I read them mostly for the humor, and mostly for the exhibition of the strange world view that Anon sometimes have. It’s interesting (concerning?) to be reminded that people like Anon exist out there.

Just be sure to find another job before quitting. Always easier to find a job when you already have one.
- Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good 2 months ago:
All the time i spent playing Dota, Starcraft, battlefield and smash melee says nope.
Sure, if your metric is hours of gameplay per dollar spent. But that’s no way to rate a video game if you ask me.
For instance I would rate The Talos Principle or Disco Elysium as much better games than, say, World of Warcraft, despite the fact that I played wow much more than the former two. But the story of those two games are just far more interesting and the games have left a much more impactful, lasting impression on me even though I don’t play them any more.
- Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good 2 months ago:
Disagree, story is definitely more important than replayability for me.

- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 4 months ago:
when people start unionizing, they just fire everyone
Yea this needs to be made illegal obviously. But that’s hard. And that’s where it becomes political. You can’t get around the fact that it is political unfortunately.
- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 4 months ago:
Of course it’s collective bargaining, that’s what I mean with “organize”. I don’t mean just organize within your workplace, I mean organize within entire fields and industries.
Friend, you don’t know how unions work at a core level.
This sounds kind of condescending and mean. In Denmark we have large unions that cover whole industries and fields and they work very well for collective bargaining and securing good levels of compensation, vacation and good work environments. I am myself a member of such a union. So please don’t assume that I don’t know how unions work.
- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 4 months ago:
Yea definitely don’t disagree with that. I think that is a factor too. But I think it also kind of goes hand in hand. Do you have similar ideas because you organized and kind of aligned your ideas, or did you organize because your ideas are similar and you easily agreed to organize? It’s kind of a chicken and egg thing.
I’ve also often thought that countries like the US are just too big. There’s too many people to take into consideration. A country like Denmark with ~6 million people is much easier to keep track of and the governance and politics is closer to reality.
- Comment on How are Americans supposed to survive the next 30 years? 4 months ago:
It is about politics. You need to organise yourselves better into unions. Then, you strike until you get what you deserve.
Why does Denmark and the rest of the Nordic countries have so high quality of living and happy people? Cause the people realized that you need to work together to get what you want. You need to have solidarity with your other workers to push for better compensation and work environments.
Do this, or you’re doomed.

Even if you could, Linus Torvalds is not a fan of the v3 license.
Why not?

The Free Software Foundation explicitly forbade tivoization in version 3 of the GNU General Public License. However, although version 3 has been adopted by many software projects, the authors of the Linux kernel have notably declined to move from version 2 to version 3.
How come Linux doesn’t use GPL v3?
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 4 months ago:
Should the government collect taxes on the buoyant times but then refund them during market downturns? That would be a nightmare. No government wants to be on the hook for refunds during a downturn.
AFAIK Danish tax on stock gains/losses works like this. Stock gains are heavily taxed while stock losses give you a tax rebate.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
Definitely not Python. Rust is very nice though.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
You can’t get data races at least, and in practice it’s very difficult to get actual race conditions.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
(I assume you left out a “not” there)
You should definitely give Rust a shot. It is only conceptually similar to C++ but otherwise very different.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
interfaces with external IO
How would you run into a race condition like this with safe Rust? You can’t share mutable file handles between threads for example. I’m not sure you’re correct in saying its still possible. Even if it is, it doesn’t sound easy.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
Honestly I would consider that a bit weird. At the very least, old-fashioned. If you like Java, it makes me think you haven’t tried a better more modern language to compare it with.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
I don’t particularly like Java, but I use it because it pays the bills. Similarly, I use C++ (which I prefer) when my work requires it.
I mean, anon is not arguing against that. They’re saying the language is shit regardless of how much it is used in business. I don’t think they are entirely wrong.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
Threads giving you race conditions? All concurrent programming will do that if you’re shit at it.
Well, if you write Rust then there won’t be race conditions.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 4 months ago:
Java is industrial strength for professionals.
Disagree. It’s an outdated tool today. Professionals would not choose it for new projects.
