Always go for GmbH. UG will make you account for everything with your private money. If something goes wrong in your business you'll be dirt poor.

You are confusing UG with something like GbR. UG is basically a baby GmbH with constraints of the name of the company and how much money the associates can extract from it (until the company got 25k€ captial and can become a normal GmbH).

Why would anybody use this over the assembler shipped with their compiler?

This might make sense if your project is written entirely in assembly, but does anybody even do that nowadays? For projects that are mostly in C/C++ with bits of assembly here and there, it's yet one more dependency your users have to install.

If you write cross platform software, you might want MSVC on Windows and gcc on linux and their assemblers masm and gas have very different syntax. nasm outputs object files for both directly. Also the syntax in the context of especially macros is often a little better.

Nice! So announcing "Keine Werbung" on my letter box becomes now also a legal binding? I also wonder about all the announcement on t-shirts. Hmm.

x2rj · 2 years ago

Is is legally binding since the 80s in Germany. Just mostly nobody bothers to protest a occasional error and it would mostly affect the teenager who delivers the ads anyway.

There's a lot of optimism in this thread, but does DFT (or any theoretical model really) actually have much predictive value in quantum chemistry? I've always gotten the impression that in this field the proof is in the pudding.

x2rj · 2 years ago

GGA-DFT (+ some corrections) used here seems quite ok to me for this system. For more trust into this, I would like similar calculations with other methods to see how similar or different they are. LDA-DFT will most likely not be great (as in most cases), but I would be very interested in some DFT+GW calculations, even though LK99 might not be it's strength.

still dunno what's the difference between rss1.0, 2.0 and atom

x2rj · 2 years ago

Atom is an order of magnitude more complex and strict standard by people who really love xml in contrast to the really simple and less strict rss 2.0. For example almost everything is optional in rss 2.0 so you can have a reasonable feed for stuff like tweets or linkblogs where there is no obvious title. In contrast atom enforces a title for every item which makes this a messy expirience.

I have implemented rss 2.0 parser faster then understanding the atom specification. Atom can do encode stuff like encode html inline the xml instead of as a CDATA string. In theory this sounds great, but is ends up in a big mess of complexity (e.g. a blogpost with handwritten invalid html).

These days there is also JSONFeed which is really easy to parse, simple and flexible, but it is not supported everywhere yet.
