I once stopped in a small town in New Brunswick a couple hours drive south of the Quebec border. To my surprise, not only did they all speak French there, but the people we were trying to order lunch from didn't speak a word of English

The Snooze button on iOS alamrs can be turned off by editing the alarm. I never use Snooze, so I turn it off for all my alarms. All that's left now is a nice Stop button.

The description made me think of Black & White as well. I still have memories of smacking my creature around every time he ate someone.

I heard a good guideline somewhere, that if multiple pieces of code change at the same time for the same reason, it should be combined into one. If the separate pieces of code can change at different times for different reasons (they would

I read through the entire thing over many years when the site first began and a new entry was being posted every day. I found it to be surprisingly interesting and I enjoyed reading about daily life in the 17th century. The comments could a

That may not work. I think the wormhole controller AIs are getting pretty tired of his antics by now.

I find his writing to be very interesting. I hadn't realize that most types of horses used in Europe had evolved to be large enough to not get enough calories from just eating grass, and needed their food to be supplemented with grain.

I don't know much about the bar exam myself, but I had a professor in college who was also a practicing lawyer. He was of the opinion that in order to pass the bar, you mainly needed to really know the legal fundamentals and be good at

In the Netherlands, companies can sponsor a software engineer for a work visa as a highly-skilled immigrant. In Germany, a software engineer can easily get a blue card, which gives someone the right to work and live there. In both of these

I ended up getting a job through Triplebyte late last year. My current employer reached out to me through the platform, and was interested in interviewing me. I had never heard of my current employer prior to that. So it helped me in introd

I used to live in Germany (as a student) before having kids, and now I live in California with kids (around Sacramento), so I'll give my perspective. It's a tradeoff of money vs family-friendliness. Germany is definitely more kid-

I really like the Elixir programming language documentation: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.html It's easy to find things, clearly written, and usually answer any questions I have about how to use a particular s

When I lived in Germany, I saw a video clip of Arnold speaking German. To my great surprise, he had the same accent when speaking German that he does when speaking English. He apparently speaks a regional dialect from the part of Austria he

I had the same experience when I was doing an internship in Germany. One particular coworker kept speaking English to me, despite everyone else speaking German to me. At this point, I had lived there for a year already and spoke German pret

I strongly recommend reading this for anyone who's interested. It's a really interesting view of what Mexico looked like prior to Spanish colonization, told from a Spanish perspective of course. It also became clear that the Spani

In my experience with no-code tooling in the past, it works great as long as you stick to the narrow use cases it was designed for and are satisfied with that. As soon as you want to do anything advanced that the no code tooling doesn'

I've been writing a lot about Elixir as I've been learning it: https://inquisitivedeveloper.com/ . The idea is for people to learn Elixir along with me as I learn it. It's not a quick start though: I really di

I don't see why that is stereotyping. I would assume that anyone on the customer side of the counter is a customer and anyone on the other side of the counter works there no matter what they look like. If you had done that while she wa

After I learned German for a few years, I lived in a region of Germany where many people spoke in a dialect. At the time I thought I had a pretty good handle on what was dialect and what wasn't. A good amount of dialect made it into my

I spent about six weeks traveling in Hungary in the summer of 2000, enjoying the great food and wine and practicing my rudimentary Hungarian skills. At the time the country seemed to be a place with crappy past and a bright future. I even w
