Rule number 1 when you go to Switzerland: it is the most anti-car country there is.
There are so many possibilities to make costly "lessons" if you do not prepare in advance. I lived in Zurich - lovely country, but what in other countries is more or less tolerated or fined with a price tag of two McDonalds menus, can hit you very hard.
A parking violation and driving a bit too fast downhill (it's a hilly region, isn't it?) because you overlooked a sign, and not only ordinary people will wish they were billionaires.

Not even close, even for the more general superalative meaning of most.
Lots of Swiss drive, car and gas prices are more affordable than the rest of Europe, many Swiss live outside of big cities where parking is harder/expensive. I even saw a drive thru at a McDonalds in Renens (suburb near Lausanne), which...I've never seen a drive thru at McDonalds anywhere else in Europe (although I only lived in Switzerland).
Yes, Switzerland is very law and order, you follow the rules (like in Germany). But it is definitely a place where you can drive if you want, and many people do.
Switzerland is a car country that would make AAA drool. But it doesn't have the same approach to laws and flexibility of the system as the US because it didn't need to encode different outcomes for different people in authority discretion like the US did.
I totally agree. He played a sadist, and the irony of this movie is that he rarely makes use of what people admire the most: his infamous voice. True uber-alpha in this movie, fantastic performance.
I find libGDX to be highly underrated. For me it hit just the sweet spot between being too low level and too fancy with Entity Component System for everything.
The article uses a diagram that needs fixed references in a two dimensional space. That’s why monospace here is invaluable.
The article is the single most important technical reference for the C64. 99% of all technical demo effects can be broken down to fundamental tricks found here.
On C64 the signs of puberty were usage of words like “lamer”, “loser/looser”
Loser vs looser was especially painful. “Haha, we know it’s loser but looser sounds cooler.” A lame cover up, somewhat contradicting the whole meaning.
90% of the scroll texts were about contrived stories of displaying superiority over lamers and losers.
The folks from Finland appeared to be a bit over the top with references to their weight lifting careers to appear like some sort of brutal fighting machine.
I’m surprised HTML5 never took off. Browsers ended up regressing on some features like offline apps. Honestly with things like web components, you can bypass a lot of the needed steps to make halfway decent multiplatform applications by relying on a browser engine.
Sure you could use a react based app with some of the compilers but it’s like opening another bag of worms.
