In comparing the costs of cars vs public transport, they excluded most of the costs of cars. Huh?!

'Though car ownership usually involves additional costs such as maintenance, registration and insurance, which can increase the total cost of ownership, for this story we only considered petrol and toll costs'

(And PT still came out cheaper)

Nutzt ihr #PayPal? Dann solltet ihr auch diese Betrugsmasche kennen: Unbekannte senden Geld und schreiben euch danach, dass die Zahlung ein Versehen sei. Sie bitten darum, den Betrag über "Freunde und Familie" zurückzuzahlen. Macht ihr das, ziehen sie anschließend ihre eigene Zahlung wieder zurück. Deren Zahlung ist für euch futsch und auch euer gezahltes Geld bekommt ihr nicht wieder!

Schutz: Tippt auf die Buchung und nutzt den Button "Rückzahlung senden"! Mehr dazu: https://www.verbraucherzentrale.nrw/node/95035

Next time someone calls themselves a 'futurist', maybe read the futurist manifesto they're alluding to..
"We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.
We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice."

Btw the techno-optimist manifesto quotes and references Marinetti who wrote both the futurist and fascist manifestos

Friday Links 24-13

This week I enjoyed the interviews with Hazel Weakley and Melinda French Gates.

For some reason, I also have a few clubbing related links. If you like electronic music and play around with it yourself, I recommend the podcast with Alex McLean about live coding.

It's surreal how slowly time moves in the world of C compilers.

Today there are still active projects that are hesitant to move past C89, and C99 is still the "new" standard.

The C99 standard has been released before the first public Mac OS X and Windows XP. It's older Itanium and the x86-64 instruction set. It predates iPod, Game Cube, first ever Xbox, and Nokia 3310.

Entire platforms lived and died in the meantime, while C programmers still can't be sure if they can rely on the new C99.
