The article might be quite old (I myself barely identify the microsoft tech stack he is referring to), but his description of the struggle with productivity is still spot on. I read this from time to time to not feel bad about myself for st

From the rethoric you hear from EU leaders and the US president, I don't expect NATO to take any direct military action, because blowing this conflict to a full-scale war between two of the main military powers would catastrophically d

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I was wondering, is "The Utopia of Rules" all that different from Bullshit jobs? :)

I wouldn't say that you have depression. You just opened your eyes to how pointless modern corporate jobs are. There is actually extensive literature to this phenomenon, I can really encourage you to read "Bullshit jobs" by D

Going even further, Graeber also tries to dismantle the "counter-thesis" to Hobbes', Rousseau's primitive egalitarian harmonic societies. He shows lots of archaeological evidence suggesting that "primitive" pre

I feel like the post's title is kind of misleading (or at least it should be in quotes). Since, we do not know yet for certain if there has been a data breach.

As far as I know, some of these terminal text editors use the ncurses library to handle their "frontend", the way in which they properly display text in your terminal. As mentioned in another comment it is utmost necessary that yo

Performative work is just another term for one of the main topics exposed in the book "Bullshit jobs" by David Graeber. I finished the book last month and it was a very compelling read. It tries to explain the psychology behind tr

You are entirely missing the point. Yes, sure, there are examples in which there might be consequences if the train is not on-time. But a lot of the time I see people literally stressing out about a train being late for no reason whatsoever

I agree, Al Jazeera and Russia Today definitely show another perspective (also biased) than the usual opinions you'll find in any American news network. To add to this comment, if you want to see a European view then I can highly encou
