And why would you want a deflationary currency? If you see it as an investment, then of course. But for the general economy it is better when people spend their money sooner rather than later, and capital gets invested where it does somethi

In a global perspective, it’s defined privilege if you are a white male in Europe or North America. You already have more opportunities than 99% of the world population. But I wouldn’t use the words unfair advantage. Most of us didn’t cheat

For me the critical part of the text is > A disorganized pile of classes and methods in code may work – a pile of work of words and paragraphs won’t work. Writing HAS to be clear if it is to be of any use. Code will be accepted (to some

I sometimes make ice tea in the summers. But I have to make it myself. All readymade ice tea that I’ve found is horribly sweet.

We drink a lot of non alcoholic beer. I want something more exiting than water even on work day lunches and I don’t like sweet drinks and I’m trying to reduce my caffeine intake. Not that much left to choose from then.

There are sporadic outbreaks of head lice in my children’s preschool. It doesn’t seems to have change much since I was in that age myself soon fifty years ago.

Maybe we shouldn't even have industries with disaster modes that can't be handled by insurance companies. As it is now, it is just another example of private entities (obviously not in the case of Chernobyl) taking the revenue fro

You are of course right, but I couldn’t help laughing. I’ve long tried to say this: the reason for the relatively success of SOA is mostly that it makes it harder to cheat and reach over into other modules to grab whatever you need. That it

Because if you want to do it at scale it’s cheaper to install some GW on a field somewhere than bothering with roofs of privately owned residential buildings.

I’ve bicycled as my main mode of transportation for thirty years, all year round, in Stockholm and in Umeå. They sell excellent studded tires for bicycles. I’m not saying it’s possible for everyone. I would probably not do it if my commute

Are the cameras not good anymore? Or is it that the “wrong people“ are using their products that bothers you? If it is the latter, then you are just trying to buy an identity through brands, and you are as much part of the problem.

What’s the title of the book?

Ok, there’s just so many facts contrary to all normal experiences, so I’d like to see some sources. For example, I can easily work twelve hours per day while painting the facades of my home, without being mentally fatigued, only bored. But

That study is of manual labour. Why do you think it says anything about knowledge work?

The problem with comparing software development with manufacturing physical artifacts is that the phases are mixed up. The manufacturing, creating the artifact, in the case of software, is a wholly automated process usually done by a compil

You clearly don't understand the urgency of the matter. Maybe if you wrote "by 2027, all newly registered cars must have a maximum amount of 0 litres per 100 km". Cars, of all sorts, is fundamentally unsustainable in urban ar

I’ve commuted by bicycle all year round in Umeå in northern Sweden (as well as Stockholm and Ann-Arbor MI). When you are used to it you don’t even think about it. You need good clothes to pull over when it’s raining or cold, but those cost

The change won’t be for free (even though it probably in the end will save us all a lot of money), and unfortunately, everything that cost money will hit the poor hardest. But that is a problem that is solved with progressive taxes and redi

I saw some another video where the claim was that there’s already enough elements in the soil to last thousands of years, but they require the right mixture of microorganisms to become available to the plants. It’s only the lack of microorg

That sounds like the joke in the laser lab I did my PhD in: some alignments you can only do twice.
