I started on Malt. I get most offers through Linkedin now. I also worked with intermediaries (consultime, digital & you). They can be old-fashioned and you have to negotiate well with them but they're almost necessary if you want t

Same feeling here in France. I get 3-4 opportunities for freelance work per week in the Paris region. I couldn't find any proposing full remote work (not just one day per week) after searching for 2 months The funny thing is that now I

In winter I turn up the max temperature of my water heater. This way I can soak more energy into it when it's "off-peak" (cheaper) hours for electricity. You just have to be careful not opening the tap on the hottest temper

Thanks for pointing that out. Greenpeace is the perfect example of how "fighting for the environment" is meaningless. Are we talking about biodiversity, air pollution, water pollution, side effects of mining... or climate chan

Sure. If you assume that electricity from renewables are randomly distributed in time across your grid then all countries can do that. Unfortunately it's not the case (it's night time in Ireland and France at roughly the same hour

It means you have to dimension your coal power plants so that they can cover the case where there is no wind and accept to not use them when there is plenty of wind. And that does not sound economically good [1]: "Fixed costs combin

You gave the answer in your own question. The fact that it is not a constant 37% is the problem here. What do you do when you get 10x less wind than the average? People still expect the same services (train, heaters..) to run

What do you mean by we will not run out of any rare metals powering the "green" revolution? Bihouix agrees that we may not run out of it in a geological sense. However he also argues that the extraction will become harder (lower

Yes. And in my quote it is mentioned "Social Security" not "Healthcare branch of the Social Security". I took the Social Security as a whole because it's the total deficit of the Social Security that is often pointe

I can't tell you why this pattern of error handling was chosen but this is different from the callback pattern in nodejs. In Go, errors are typically returned directly by the called function. Even if such function makes "asynchron

Last time I went through a series of interview to find a new job, I systematically asked to go to the bathroom. I believe male's toilet cleanliness is a good indicator of how employees perceive their workplaces. Said simply, if it&#x2
