@way0utwest The EDIFACT standard as decided by the UN was initially flat file format (your example looks like the old standard). In 2002, XML/EDIFACT iso standard was published, to help ”modern” systems consume EDIFACT messages.
I favour the old format for transport as files are much smaller
@geekyginge Same as most European countries. Sweden for example. Multi party system where all parties with 4+% gets seat in parliament. Parliament then elects PM. PM forms a government and all members of government have to be approved by parliament.
@MsTikq@shanselman Private property is protected by law in all countries. The state owns and controls _some_ means of production in every state. The scale isn’t binary.
After a few really nice days at @FrankGeisler house and some interaction between Frank’s car’s rear and another car’s front I’m in the hotel to get some rest and finish some last details before tomorrows precon on @datamindsbe#datamindsconnect
@ArdentArchivis1@SteveGaroood@jdpoc Tablespoon and teaspoon are exact measurements, but they aren’t 10-based. Teaspoon = 5ml, tablespoon = 3 teaspoons. A table sooon is 6 2/3 dl.
And there aren’t any tablespoons as small as a tablespoon measure :)
@SteveGaroood@jdpoc To be fair, teaspoon, tablespoon, “salt measure” and “spice measure” doesn’t make all that much sense either (they are all over European recipes).
But those are our exceptions. Base 10 is pretty much everywhere else.
This picture. It takes 18 minutes from Västerås to Enköping. Every time. There’s no way to make up lost time here. So if the train actually left 7:43, I’m annoyed that its expected arrival in Enköping is still 7:50. Don’t pretend to be less late than you are @SJ_AB
