If you're calculating time that a task took by subtracting two UTC datetimes instead of just using a monotonic timer or at least unix timestamps, you're doing it wrong either way

Dutch researcher salaries are also pretty high (compared both to median Dutch salaries and academic salaries around the world), so it's still not like you're leaving USA to live in poverty

Unlike now, where instead of saying your hypothesis you're just letting every reader come up with what they think is a crazy conspiracy theory and ascribe it to you?

There is a tag for ALPRs on OpenStreetMap:

So you can just add them using a normal OSM editor like EveryDoor or Vespucci

Idk, I get what you mean but I'd personally rather not use my pinky finger for navigation, sounds really uncomfortable.

How are they "not that touch-typing-friendly" when they're literally the keys that are always under your fingers when touch typing?

I just have a layer on my keyboard that puts arrow keys where hjkl are on qwerty when I hold the tab key. Since tab is right next to my pinky finger on my laptop, it easily became muscle memory, and allows to use home row navigation in all apps, not just the ones that support hjkl.

I've had a Bellroy bag, they're not the most fashionable but super high quality and well thought-out. Just like Haskell code—maybe that's why they like it.

> Exactly same reason why porn sites use their own specialist payment processors

They're called high-risk payment processors and they usually handle all sorts of "legal but sketchy" sectors like porn, gambling, crypto, legalized drugs/vapes, MLMs, etc. It's not even some shadowy darknet industry, if you just search for "high risk payment processor" there is plenty of them which look very professional and even provide official Shopify integrations and stuff.

Interesting that if you go to one of their websites they also handle some pretty normal industries like "furniture" or "travel" just because of the high chargeback rate in them.
