Exactly, living in Europe, I've literally encountered the sheet+blanket combination for the first time a week ago, in a hotel. Duvets with covers ARE the norm.


Wait… you don’t use a sheet under a duvet? What do you wrap under yourself? Not the duvet, that’d be too thick, surely.


A sheet covering the mattress, then we lying on top, then the duvet covering us to varying degrees of area and precision depending on temperature and activity while asleep. My son snakes over and under the duvet several times along his body.


“Fitted sheet” (sheet with elastic on the corners, a little smaller than a same-nominal-size sheet) that covers the mattress, regular sheet, optional light blanket, comforter, optional quilt or something like that if it’s very cold. That’s standard bedding around here (US Midwest). This duvet-only (not counting mattress cover) stuff is wild to me. May have to try it.


With just one quadruple-thick blanket ('duvet') you are either broiling or freezing, with no ability to peel back or add just one layer at a time. Can't understand how anyone can be comfortable with that.


I usually just stick my leg out. Works every time. Maybe it's more a question about central heating? The temperature in my flat is in same 3-5 degree range most time of the year, so I only had to choose right duvet once.


I meant a second sheet between you and a duvet. Ofc there is another one covering the matress.


The duvet cover is, in effect, the second sheet of which you speak ;)


Technically it is, but the ux is very different :)


What? Heresy! ;)


I wonder what would be the cost of maintaining some huge auto-generated corpus of tests in the future. They need to provide some automated way not only to generate cases, but also to update them.


I would peesonally love to see Tinder-like client for HN.

I think the impression you get depends on whether you belong to cost or profit centre of the org, and techies tend to be part of the former.


Those peaces remain unreasonably expensive on Amazon, btw.


Peace has always come at a high cost. But if it's available on Amazon that still seems like progress.


Won't fix the typo just so others could enjoy your joke


Peace is dead; long live peace.


Good whittling project then.


And it looks so much more reasonable, I would say


Except that this set describes the attack directions, not the motion directions. The difference is in the shape of the pawns. I think this one is quite interesting, as showing lines of threat.


The pawns felt like they were going backwards. Maybe if they had wee arrow heads.


Pdf is a file format


I had a probability class and we definitely made that joke more often than we should :P


It's also something to do with density, probability and function ;)


Looks like a chance for MC-21


One other thing podman (unlike Docker) is missing is ability to run x86 images of Apple silicon under Rosetta. QEMU turns out to be too slow for real use.


Could anyone please advise a paper on Docker architecture, discussing its design choices (e.g. client-server model) in detail?
