Recently moved and had my server offline for ~a month. I had to upload 9k points when it came online and worked without a hitch.

Thanks for the link, is says on the second page

A name cannot be approved as the first forename of a minor child, if it is the first forename of a living sibling or half sibling of the person being named, or if it is a name ending in poika (“son”) or tytär (“daughter”) or a name formed in a corresponding manner, unless there are special reasons for this.

I could have just dumped my link and been done with it but I wanted to do more than provide a statement without a source, since that (no source) was the reason for my comment to being with. :-)

When I read comments like these, I just have to look them up. It’s something that could very well be true and equally, you could be messing with us. Why would they have such a law? What prompted it to be drafted and accepted? So I did a search on the internet and here is what I found.

I don’t know Finish so I cannot read up on their law but according to Info Finland (operated by KEHA Centre if their © is to be believed), this article dated to 19.12.2024 states under the header “Child’s name”:

Finland has a law on names. According to the law, everyone must have a last name and 1–4 first names. The first names must be compliant with Finnish law. For example, siblings may not be given the same first name.

Maybe people living in Finland know exactly what KEHA Centre is but I don’t so I have to look them up. There are two articles on Wikipedia, one in Finish and one in French. The French one has the title “KEHA Centre” while the other one is titled “Centre KEHA”. Translating the articles with Firefox’s built in translater, it says (in French) “The KEHA Centre is a national agency providing…” and (in Finish) “Keha Centre […] is a Finnish government agency that supports employment, integration, digitalisation and knowledge”.

According to Sumoi.fi, an alternate name for KEHA Centre is “Employment, Development and Administration Centre”. (And what is Sumoi.fi? According to them, “The service is being developed by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency”, that sounds official.)

Given the evidence I have found, it looks like Info Finland is a legit website and it looks like it is indeed true that your children cannot have the same first name.

If my fridge could tell me that my milk is about to expire or if I could query it for what is in it, I would want that. But I cannot really come up with anything that current “smart” appliances have that a fridge could use.

This reminds me of the movie Catch Me If You Can.

Aren’t they going to shutdown their DNS and use someone’s else’s?

Thanks for explaining!

I don’t get that one, could you explain?

If you are dense like me, pvz = plants vs zombies.

It’s almost like brewing coffee before having your first coffee.

To pour oil on the fire (since you said you already decided on an OS), a lot of people recommend Linux Mint as a goto OS when moving from Windows, supposed to be the most similar experience.

That’s not surprising given their rules, especially rule 3.

But you could never write code like this

Create webserver that responds with HTTP 418 I'm a teapot

and have it compile it to anything. You still had to think of the logic and design.

Fast fashion would be the other end of an extreme. Another way is for stores to have one of each size, you try the one you want and place an order. The store delivers in batches and enough orders are placed.

100% agreed. My teacher said that he taught us tools, how they worked and how to use them, in order for us to apply them in new ways. Even with a calculator you have to understand the underlaying logic to actually do something. Don’t know basic mathematics? Good luck using a calculator.

Isn’t there a saying about people spending more energy to avoid doing a task (or automating it or make it easier) than doing the actual task?

And all their patients are on twitch.

convention has once again coincided with the Grindr app crashing in Dallas from heavy usage

Yeah, that is a very funny coincidence.

Agreed. Ratchet & Clank were great games, loved them.

(He also has a long history of not paying, but that’s not relevant for the legal difference)

You don’t happen to know if other have successfully argued on court that since they had a history of not paying, it is understood by everyone that they were not genuine and would not pay?
