If you ask society what has helped them the most, you will be surprised to learn how many claims the todo-list (paper or app in whatever time frame) is their main way of actually getting anything done.

A number between 0 and 1 can easily scale to whatever company you have. A number that is different depending on how many is on your team is harder to compare between teams. I guess it depends on if you ask a programmer, administrator or mat

Yes, that is the problem with modern things. Claming to be new and modern but things that used to be instant is getting slower and slower. There was a time when things were still getting faster and faster. I had the privilege to try a norma

I still find it funny that my pretty new nVidia card takes several seconds to switch between resolutions while my 35 year old Atari could switch resolution several times per screen refresh. I made a simple game that had color display in low

If you buy a tool in a country that is mainly using imperial, the markings on it might be more exact for the imperial measurement. Might be the opposite in a country with metric. Just guessing though but that is often how other things work

You don't need to make every street a bike street. It's enough if there is a way of getting safely close to your destination. Both for cars and bikes. The car drivers can drive on the next street unless this is their destination l

I get the impression you read "Cyclists make mistakes" and commented without reading the rest. We all agree on what you are saying. That is what I'm objecting to. "Cyclists make mistakes, make bad judgments, take big ris

That is why you don't drive past busses parked at a bus stop. There is always someone late for class or work, running out of the bus, and then across the street behind or in front of the bus. I'm even slowing down if I'm in t

It takes a lot more than just separating the trafic in different lanes. The whole climate is getting harsher between humans. We are experts of dehumanisation of our fellow humans.

You put a sign at the start of the road. "Bike street". This means cars allowed but at bike speeds. You have different paint on the street too, to make it very different from a normal road. I have seen them popping up here and the

Don't hook up on the wrong thing here. Everyone makes mistakes but the cyclists pay with their life. Is it a well designed system when a little mistake costs your life? The cyclists have a better understanding and overview of the trafi

It doesn't really matter. If you are not recognizable, it's not valid. That is the whole point of a photo-ID the photo has to be a good likeness with you. Glad the GP met friendly people that let him get away with it but don'

Unfortunately the security by obscurity is backed up by "If a user exploits this, it's a crime and we just contact our legal team." I have seen this happen even in Sweden, local student 16 years old [1] figures out state has

Yes, most people get to this insight and gives it back to their kids so they can get a head start in life. And for those that don't, there are enough movies for the kids/youth showing exactly how it works.

The discussion is not about buttons for everything. Ofcourse I can't have a 737 cockpit from 1980 with buttons all over the place. Even planes get smart controls for the less used things. But the fan, the air direction and other very i

A friends appartment building had had a keypad lock installed a few years ago. Nice physical buttons. I swear the lock opened before I pressed the last number of the code, that fast. Sadly they changed it to an even newer lock system a coup

How cold does it get with you? I have tried all sorts of touch-screen gloves and they all stop working below -5 C. The cheap touch-pencils still work though so carry one of those around my neck if I need the phone outdoors.

In Finland they sell some small portion-bowls with a thin solidified cream layer on top. It's not yoghurt but something we Swedes call "Långfil" [1]. It has a very funny consistency, it doesn't stick to the spoon as norm

Ours is not sour at all and I'm pretty sensitive to sour stuff. 700 ml water, 50-60 g beans, 24 hours in fridge. When drinking we mix with 3-4 parts water. I always drink cold, wife drinks it hot. Lots of flavour and fun to try the loc

I think Coldbrew is even more dependent on what coffee beans and roast you use, we have tried a few and they are very different. But so far I liked them all. Maybe you preffer the bitter taste of cooked coffee? That is something that is mis
