Fossile Energien verursachen hohe gesellschaftliche Kosten, werden aber weiterhin subventioniert.
Allein 2021 beliefen sich offene und versteckte #Subventionen laut #IWF auf 5900 Milliarden US-Dollar. Maßnahmen wie der

Tankrabatt: Wie wir uns zu Tode subventionieren
Die Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe richtet massive Schäden an. Dennoch wird sie gefördert – etwa durch den Tankrabatt. Dabei gäbe es sinnvolle Alternativen, von denen auch Geringverdiener profitieren.

EBCDIC is incompatible with GDPR
Welcome to acronym city! The Court of Appeal of Brussels has made an interesting ruling. A customer complained that their bank was spelling the customer's name incorrectly. The bank didn't have support for diacritical marks. Things like á, è, ô, ü, ç etc. Those accents are common in many languages. So it was a little surprising that the bank didn't support them.

Faster Remainder by Direct Computation: Applications to Compilers and Software Libraries
On common processors, integer multiplication is many times faster than integer division. Dividing a numerator n by a divisor d is mathematically equivalent to multiplication by the inverse of the divisor (n / d = n x 1/d). If the divisor is known in advance---or if repeated integer divisions will be performed with the same divisor---it can be beneficial to substitute a less costly multiplication for an expensive division. Currently, the remainder of the division by a constant is computed from…
