While the apps are still in store, there doesn't seem to be any website except for an indiegogo, and the Techcrunch article is from '17.

Might be caching though, those tiles are probably cached.

Ah, yes, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping with some AI hallucinations dropped in, surely that'll be safe.

As a European programmer, the comma-period-decimal struggle is real.

Most higher level programming languages don't accept commas, so decimals are started by a period, and thousands can sometimes (varies by language) be separated by underscores.

For example, these are all valid number notation:

1.00
0.000001
1_000.00
1_000_000
1_0_0_0_0_0_0.0_0

If you use the final one frequently, though, your employment may experience a period too.

You break it, you buy it. Let's move the Israeli officials to Gaza and let the Palestina citizens live in Jerusalem. ^/s

Using Windows for narrow casting is gore, there are far easier, more efficient methods of rendering adverts than using a whole Windows installation.

I have had the same with my job as IT developer. It was a hobby for years but then I got paid and did my hobby paid, making the hobby less fun.

Now that I've grown in my job, I'm more in IT architecture, and less writing code loosely, which makes the hobby field of IT available and fun again.

"I'm in a government that condones - if not encourages - businesses from rejecting customers based on their own ideology, but don't do it to me!"

Even those Canadian eggs are relatively expensive to what I'm used to:

These are Euro prices.
