Those boxes will be unicorns no matter what, though, also, they're not necessarily part of the general IT infrastructure. Someone in catastrophe defence might be running fluid simulations using some god awful expensive windows-only software but chances are they can manage their own box, and if not, the ministry will still have IT staff who can deal with that kind of thing.
Best I can give you is dataport looking for nextcloud admins, it's also listed as a component of dPhoenixSuite.
Netto Cafe Latina, Kategorie "Supermarkt Eigenmarke aber nicht schrecklich" (will sagen: Nicht totgeröstet), 14 Euro das Kilo (ganze Bohne) IIRC. Hab' jetzt keinen Bock den Bon zu suchen. Vor zwei, drei Jahren waren's noch 11 Euro. Bio, Fairtrade.
Günstiger guter Kaffee ist bei 28-30 Euro pro kg, vor ein paar Jahren noch zwei drei weniger. Generell auch Bio, noch fairer, beides nicht unbedingt zertifiziert das kostet Geld stattdessen kennt man sich.
Ich denk' mal je billiger der Kaffee desto größer die Steigerung weil durch die ganzen Ernteausfälle der Weltmarktpreis jetzt näher an den Fairtrade-Preisen dran ist. Quijote bezahlt $335 pro Zentner, Fairtrade liegt bei $190, auf dem Weltmarkt... autsch, $225. Das ist höher als Fairtrade und damit sind die gleich hoch denn Fairtrade garantiert Weltmarktpreise. Oh und die Weltmarktpreise sind für Robusta das wird ja immer schlimmer.
No underline in CommonMark, that's a link. Which isn't underlined on my end because it's not the 1990s, any more. U͟n͟i͟c͟o͟d͟e͟ ͟w͟o͟r͟k͟s͟... more or less. It's a hack. 𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓈𝒾𝓋ℯ 𝓉ℯ𝓃𝒹𝓈 𝓉ℴ 𝓌ℴ𝓇𝓀 𝒻𝒾𝓃ℯ, 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔰𝔬 𝔡𝔬𝔢𝔰 𝔟𝔩𝔞𝔠𝔨𝔩𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯.
He might -- I doubt with one hand, but in any case the point is not that I'd be keen on fighting either, the point is that Tate would be an easier fight than Khelif. Tate does have the capacity, in principle, to be a good fighter (e.g. you can see is kinaesthetic sense in action when he's dancing, and he does have grit), he could have achieved titles that mean anything to anyone instead of being world champion of beating up complete amateurs and then promptly retiring. Alas, his neuroses are in the way. Lots of show, lots of bluster, dangerous in the sense that a rabid dog is dangerous because, as said, he knows how to be angry. Khelef? Calm, clean, methodical, keeps her centre, actually thinks in the ring. Whole different league, and nothing to do with raw strength. Strength doesn't do shit when you suck at the rest.
Dataport is kinda hit and miss when it comes to developing. It was created by taking the small IT departments of different ministries, agencies, etc, of multiple states, and putting them all under a common roof. They did that because they realised that standard state administration structures and IT weren't really compatible but on the flipside, they also funded a whole new organisation with people accustomed to those very structures, and as dataport is still a public law corporation the internal administration -- think payroll and everything -- will still be done by career state bureaucrats.
It's a different kind of dysfunction than you see in the private sector but dysfunction nonetheless. OTOH working directly with FLOSS upstream will help: It's not that (sufficiently large) FLOSS projects don't have their own bureaucracy, and the bureaucrats that be on dataport's side will respect that.
Regarding maintenance: Aside from hardware upgrades because they make sense (power consumption) or you want new features (latest addition: Graphics tablets to allow citizens to sign stuff without having to print things), there's a constant churn in software requirements as new orders come in on what to do and how to do it. Just because you wrote perfect software doesn't mean that parliament stops passing laws.
As far as usability is concerned: Dataport will also have to train people, and they actually have the funds to do usability studies and such. Much will also depend on the different agencies they're working for, can't fix an agency's workflows for them, and that goes beyond mere IT. I guess a public-law consultancy does make sense but having a ministry for administrative affairs reeks of Sir Humphrey. I guess you could hide it by making it a subsidiary of the court of auditors.
No idea where that number is from but at the start it's just going to be getting rid of MS Office and Exchange, switch to FLOSS telephony, not getting rid of Windows. Licensing costs for 30k seats are certainly higher but you have to offset that with not getting any support from MS any more. Dataport will need a couple of in-house developers to resolve issues and work with upstream. Actual development, not tier 1 support and translating administrative instructions into templates.
Also for the state it's not really about the money, but sovereignty. 188k are also peanuts in 18bn worth of state budget, that's yearly maintenance for what 30km of state roads. Given that we currently don't have any potholes we can afford it.
As to brainrot: Not really applicable. These are managed workplaces and not much will change on the end-user side.
I'd rather fight Tate than Khelif, that's for sure. One of the two knows how to move, the other one knows how to be angry.
I never understood how people couldn’t understand basic PEMDAS/BEDMAS/Whatever-the-fuck-your-country-calls-it.
There's no "whatever-the-fuck-your-country-calls-it", the US is the only country using it, and only up to high school. At least I'm not seeing any papers coming out of the US relying on it so at some point they're dropping it and do what everyone else is doing: Write equations such that you don't need a left-to-right rule to disambiguate things. Also, using multiplication by juxtaposition (2x + 4x2).
It’s ambiguous which one of these is correct. Hence the best method we have for “correct” is left to right.
The solution accepted anywhere but in the US school system range from "Bloody use parenthesis, then" over "Why is there more than one division in this formula why didn't you re-arrange everything to be less confusing" to "50 Hertz, in base units, are 50s-1".
More practically speaking: Ultimately, you'll want to do algebra with these things. If you rely on "left to right" type of precedence rules re-arranging formulas becomes way harder because now you have to contend with that kind of implicit constraint. It makes everything harder for no reason whatsoever so no actual mathematician, or other people using maths in earnest, use that kind of notation.
I haven't seen can six packs in the wild in Germany for ages, the few cans that are for sale come in trays of 24. Results do show pictures of "wrap everything in plastic" (Coca-Cola) as well as cardboard solutions like the Spanish one, the first hit that's a commercial supply looks just like carton six-pack packaging for bottles.
Thing is cans are kind of iffy in Germany because of the 25ct deposit, it's not so much the deposit that's the issue (the same goes for very popular PET bottles) but that cans crinkle and once they do they might be right-out impossible to scan and get your money back. Also PET is fine for about everything but beer, and for beer there's glass bottles. If you ever see beer in PET in Germany give it a wide berth it tastes as good as its price-point indicates. You're better off with wine or sangria in a tetra pack.
In a democracy, you should have good schools for the simple reason as to have a people that's actually able to carry a democracy.
Also there's plenty of completely car-brained infrastructure in Eastern Europe, built by communist regimes. Budapest is absolutely atrocious.
They passed a new law that suspends freedom of speech when it’s against Israel
You might have missed in your study of law and the news that what passed is not a law, but merely a resolution. It's the equivalent of a press release.
extra-judicial extradictions without an accusation against pro-Palestine protesters, which a judge eventually blocked.
So it wasn't extra-judicial.
I'd be much more inclined to listen to you if you didn't make such glaring mistakes.
Nothing. And that's why people don't write equations like that: You either see
4
6 + ---
2
or
6 + 4
-------
2
If you wrote 6 + 4 / 2 in a paper you'd get reviewers complaining that it's ambiguous, if you want it to be on one line write (6+4) / 2 or 6 + (4/2) or 6 + ⁴⁄₂ or even ½(6 + 4) Working mathematicians never came up with PEMDAS, which disambiguates it without parenthesis, US teachers did. Noone else does it that way because it does not, in the slightest, aid readability.
I don’t see UNASUR or ASEAN as in direct opposition to Europe.
That was my point: They're not going to look too kindly on rogue actors messing stuff up. Russia initially had some capital with them as they managed to portray themselves as an anti-imperialist force for so long but between Ukrainians simply being themselves and Europe trying to actively shield the rest of the world from the impact of the war (think grain etc, not actually cutting off Russian oil to not raise the world market price etc) only right-wing populists are still on Russia's side (that includes tankies).
Why?

And if you think "well some of that is reasonable, France provided the states there with security and after the coups, the states are throwing counter-terrorism out of the window": Back when the deployment started countries there were saying "Argh, France again, you'll come, shoot a bit, then leave, leaving us just as vulnerable as before", which is why Germany chimed in, saying more or less "yes that's what they're going to do, we're going to come along and train your forces". Germany then left together with the French forces, I think without being specifically disinvited, simply because we didn't fancy having a training mission there while there were no French forces having our rear.
The French just can't help themselves they're constantly falling back into an arrogant, colonialist, attitude. The further we keep them away from Françafrique the better. Send, like, Latvia or such to talk with them. Ukraine btw has, or at least had, some special forces down there picking off Wagner together with IIRC Tuareg.
Those two things are memorisation tasks. Maths is not about memorisation.
You are not supposed to remember that the area of a triangle is a * h / 2, you're supposed to understand why it's the case. You're supposed to be able to show that any triangle that can possibly exist is half the area of the rectangle it's stuck in: Start with the trivial case (right-angled triangle), then move on to more complicated cases. If you've understood that once, there is no reason to remember anything because you can derive the formula at a moment's notice.
All maths can be understood and derived like that. The names of the colours, their ordering, the names of the planets and how they're ordered, they're arbitrary, they have no rhyme or reason, they need to be memorised if you want to recall them. Maths doesn't, instead it dies when you apply memorisation.
Ein Anfänger (der) Gitarre Hat Elan. There, that's the Guitar strings in German. Why do I know that? Because my music theory knowledge sucks. I can't apply it, music is all vibes to me but I still need a way to match the strings to what the tuner is displaying. You should never learn music theory from me, just as you shouldn't learn maths from a teacher who can't prove a * h / 2, or thinks it's unimportant whether you can prove it.
x/0 is the set {+inf,-inf}, fite me IRL.
Modulo everything, you need to have been a resident for at least five years to have any chance of getting security clearance. Also it would be "not a shredlet".
