The EU parliament has 720 representatives (at the moment 719, one seat is vacant apparently), so 113 representatives didn't show up for the vote. The absolute majority would've been reached with 361 votes.

Adding to this for context, the absolute majority would've been reached with 361 votes. 113 representatives didn't show up for the vote, the EU parliament has 720 representatives.

If it has been transmitted via hollow-core fibres it will obviously sound hollow.

You don't get double taxed, you get taxed on your salary and your company gets taxed on whatever profit remains after paying salaries.

> we completely miss out on what's happening in our own local area.

Almost every larger city has a more or less active subreddit these days, on platforms like Twitter you can look what people post with a city name tag. And then there are Mastodon and Lemmy/Piefed with instances for geographic regions.

Almost all of these immediate mode UI libraries for C/C++ come without a rendering backend. Usually there are "example" implementations for libraries like SDL that you can use, or you implement your own backend. A lot of these libraries are popular for debug UIs in games and you probably need a custom backend for whatever graphics engine you use in your game.

I implemented a very rudimentary copy of it at https://fac3.org/slingshot.html

Drag on the red circle to set angle and velocity, let go to launch it, try to hit the green circle, avoid the blue circles (planets with gravity). To try again hit "r" or reload the page to create a new random set of planets. Doubt it works at all on mobile, only tested it in desktop firefox.

Reminds me a little of an old game called Slingshot[0], I think it implemented the idea much better as you actually had to slingshot and consider gravity. Someone should turn it into a browser game, would be much more fun than this.

Probably not possible. Their Wi-Fi access point is inside the capsule, the capsule is made from metal and probably shielding the signal somewhat. Maybe even quite a lot if it's intended to provide some radiation shielding. Also it's low power as it only needs to work inside the capsule, at the given distances signal attenuation will make it almost impossible to pick up anything.

I would take low voter turnout more as indifference than as lack of enthusiam. To take the parking fee for SUVs example, I would assume a lot of people affected by it and complaining about it aren't even living in Paris, so they can't vote against it.

Considering that Korean is an SOV language it would've been interesting to see that factor into the design of this programming language.

I wouldn't call Android user hostile. What makes most Android phones user hostile is Google Play Services.

Which isn't easy considering they explode tin droplets in the machine. I think that's the point the other commenter wanted to make.

Especially in autumn and winter.

The largest "but" is that they only look at electricity generation, not energy in general. There's a lot of heating with natural gas and of course most cars still have internal combustion engines which burn petrol or diesel.

But that only works if you already know the exact movement and you basically end up playing a film on the background screen walls. You can't change anything of this on set anymore. Using real-time rendering with Unreal or whatever gives you more flexibility in exchange for visual quality.

Carbon tax is not about offsetting emissions, it's about disincentivising fossil fuels.

Announcements in English aren't done for every station. Usually only for central stations and airports.

> Airbus would have been a terrible idea: no one had built commercial airliners before, and only the US had the know-how.

That's just plain false, Airbus started as a cooperation between a lot of european aerospace companies, which had different a lot of know-how in different fields. For example Sud Aviation (later Aérospatiale, now Airbus) was the French part of the Concorde, they also had the Caravelle.

I would use "sei" instead of "lass" for "let" to be more in line with notation in mathematical proofs.
