Rip Minecraft. Seems that Hytale is coming out just in time.


The title of that text makes no sense.
lol, really? That’s a perfect demonstration then.
The word is a name of a town in the United Kingdom, and contains the vulgar word for female genitals / the friendly Australian greeting as a substring.


Nice try, law firm trying to learn our tricks.


Upgrades are usually done in-place without the need to reinstall everything.
Probably best to just follow this https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/upgrading-ubuntu-desktop


From the email:
Hi Arnd and SoC folks,
New SoC platform, in the future this will be handled by Peter Griffin.
Best regards,

Either a joke I don’t get, or very unfortunate name collision for that guy.


I also remember my mom driving over the boarder to shop there when I was a child, so that checks out for me


Not since December 2005


Looks like the “Voice of Retail Industry” survey the article cites only surveyed US-american stores.


The Australian Woolworth is a totally unrelated company.
In Germany the Woolworth GmbH was originally founded by the American Woolworth, but then sold off. The American one essentially died later.
As a rule, it’s true, but in truth, it is only a rule.


This must be that armed, polite society that supposedly is created by widespread gun ownership.
I hope they were very polite as they exchanged .45 inch and 9 mm arguments.


Thank you for the datapoint! Exactly like my Czech friend said as well.
It makes a lot of sense to me, that you would put a floor on the precision like that.
We often have the question at the counter, like “It’s a few grams over, is that still okay, or should I take some off?”.


He got back to me really fast. He says yes!
Yes, you go to shop. To buy a ham for example. And here you fully just say: “10 deka of this”
He also gave me this song text (Michal Tučný - Prodavač with the chorus at 0:41):
Pět deka, deset deka, dvacet deka, třicet deka,
kilo chleba, kilo cukru, jeden rohlík, jedna veka,
všechno máme, co kdo chcete,
obchod kvete, jen si račte říct.
Čtyři kila, deset kilo, dvacet kilo, třicet kilo,
navážíme, zabalíme, klaníme se, to by bylo,
prosím pěkně, mohu nechat o jedenáct deka víc?
He also said ordering meat by the gram at the counter sounds super posh and overly precise to him, while it’s just normal for me, very cool!


Interesting, thanks. It’s not familiar to me in my South-Western corner of central Europe. I’ll have to ask my Czech friend if it’s familiar to him.


Yeah deci is familiar, but deka I haven’t seen.
Of course they can, but its still noticeable that one is way rarer so I got curious where it might be in common use.


Centi is familiar to everyone from centi-meter, I have deci in deci-Bel for my optical signals at work, and I know hecto is used for hecto-Pascal which replaced the milli-bar. But I can’t think of one for deka, can anyone give an example of a unit where deka is used often?
Yeah there are such limits sometimes, but they write that it didn’t leave the house network, so they knew better when they made the title… I don’t know just seems like clickbait.
