even in tourist areas, many signs and Speisekarten are just available in German, are they *that* narcissistic thinking tourists from around the world either know German or don't bother using a phone to translate everywhere???I'm in Frankfurt. as someone from HK, basically all signs come with Chinese and English, and restaurants and shops etc are also come in the two languages. I've always thought that Germany is an international country, how ironic.i actually speak German (ich bin fast B1), but it outrages me even more knowing that toilet signs in one of the restaurants in a tourist areas are written in German, no ideogram/color, just Herren und Frauen. How do those unsuspecting tourists know without having to pull out their phones to translate again and again?

Are there any study/work spaces in TKO that opens on Sunday as well? Do they open up late? Thank you.

EDIT: btw i found this, but only 1 TKO cafe, and seems expensive

EDIT 2: Saizeriya during non-busy hours (like between 2pm to 6pm) is very quiet and has less customers, (at least in my local area), just order a drinking bar ($13) for infinite coffee, or to prevent extreme awkwardness, also order a $30 pizza, and I can definitely sit for a long while and work! Yipee!

As a foreigner, I want to learn arabic. But which dialect should I start?

I'm a foreigner from Hong Kong, China, I am a local Cantonese, and I am intersted in investing in myself, because so many chinese people here do not speak arabic and I want to make myself a competitive edge. I am 18 and I am studying Computer Science in university, and I heard that middle east countries like Qatar, Kuwait, etc, are investing in Hong Kong, and setting companies here. Also, Chinese mainland companies are investing and expanding their markets to the middle east as well. I believe that middle east like Saudi Arabia, which has Vision 2030 and the infrastructure is blooming, paving way for future prosperous development.

I know that you guys arabs put a great emphasis on relationship before doing businesses, so I think learning arabic would help, at least help me find a better job here, which the company is doing businesses with the middle east.

MSA (Modern Standard Arabic, or Fusha in your words) sound too formal because it only exists in news and seems dying, according to Wikipedia. But it is the only dialect that can be understood across the Arabic world.

Gulf arabic seems good, but not the whole middle east / north africa speak it. How about egyptian arabic? It's commonly understodd across many arabic countries due to movies/films influence, but I don't know if the middle east countries like Qatar/UAE people understand it. Please guide me and advice me, as God wishes, thank you.

hi, i am a year 1 student whose major is Computer Science. I chose this degree because i love hacking and developing, e.g. learning CVE exploits on my android phones and building apps. I am learning neither of these in the degree, but pure maths like linear algebra and probability.

lol i am screwed i missed the probabaility exam 2 hours ago. cuz i was like thinking that i felt like that i fucking hate maths and really intimidated by it by the equations i dont know so as the exam started at 7:00pm i did the last minute cramming (actually it wasn't very much like cramming at all i was like cursing the equations ) outside of the exam venue until 8pm but when i entered there at 8pm the TAs said i can't participate the exam cuz their policy says they can't accommodate anyone arriving later than 30 minutes after the exam starts man i hate maths even more. what do I do? make-up exams? btw the course code is CS2402 by cityuhk.

ahh btw 2 days later i have a linear algebra final exam too. i hate maths so much. i am not to learn these kinds of useless maths in my life i was expecting coding and hacking but now the maths is making me to be a drop-out. I guess I ruined my life considering my last semester's GPA was 1.77 cuz i skipped basically every calculus classes as well as the exam had absolutely no idea what was that. Isn't university for learning what I am interested in? The maths I am learning now is the polar opposite to what I want to learn (kernel development)

Hello fellow developers,

Can you share with useful resources (like personal development blogs) for me to acquire the knowledge before development? Thank you!

I am determined to start the LineageOS development journey for my Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro (C9000), aiming to make it treble-compliant. To get started, I need to gear up myself first and learn basic stuff. I've been learning C, C++, reading Android Documentation, Alaska Linux User's Blogs and Channels, reading code on Github, having case-studies, LineageOS gerrit. But I don't think this is enough. So, I'd appreciate for you to share me with some more useful resources, or even share some personal experience of starting from zero to have a functional OS. Thank you.

Thanks!
