We came over in July to try it out. We stayed in Kent and living car free wasn't a problem at all. We both work from home so that wasn't a problem. I brought my bike and riding around Kent was incredible. Much nicer then back home

The UK is on my list. It’s not run by grown ups now, but neither are we. It’s an infinite step up, walkability-wise, and I think things will improve politically over time. Surely you guys are learning some lessons now, right?!

Good luck! Leetcode interviews SUCK, but remember: everyone you do makes you better prepared for the next one. It’s a grind, but keep at it!

I don't know that I've ever seen a road in the USA with a limit as low as 15. The road my house is on has a limit of 25, no sidewalks although children attempt to walk on it since the community swimming pool is at the end, and peo

I spent a month in the UK and was glad to have brought my CX bike instead of my road bike. Several of the routes (in Kent) that I had thought were going to be road routes suddenly turned into paths that we would classify as gravel here in t

Maybe it depends on the state? I’m in Georgia and just checked a few of my Apple invoices. A 99c app costs me exactly 99c, no tax is added.

Every now and then you hear about a leak at some company that was storing passwords in clear text. Thanks to password managers this only affects that one site, but it still makes me thankful for 2FA.

I wrote an app called Migraine Weather that was specifically for that. I ended up selling it and it’s now called WeatherX. I no longer have any connection to the app, but I do continue to use it myself.

I really hope this add this in to the default app. I use it constantly!

And the parents that don’t want their kids reading “Ruby Bridges Goes to School” certainly have their own agenda that says quite a bit about America. If the school / library bans the book and the answer is “if you want YOUR kid to read

I hated the Apple Watch when it came out. It's just so ugly. It reminds me of the Hitchhikers to the Galaxy line about digital watches. If I'm going to wear a watch it's going to be analog. But I had to wear one for a few wee

It's a fine line between fear and reassurance. The first time I did an ultra event my wife and I didn't even consider that I wouldn't have cellular connectivity in southern Georgia. When it took longer than I told it would (b

I had the exact same experience at the Delta counter in Atlanta. A Frenchman was having trouble understanding that he couldn't pay cash to check his bag. We paid for him (Amex reimburses us for Delta fees so we didn't take his cas

My wife is super not a fan of that plan. The alternative is to do a work visa and then resident visa until we're 65 and then we can "opt" for citizenship which does allow for dual citizenship. It's a much longer route th

Sadly in the US were taxed no matter where we live. We have agreements with a lot (most?) countries though so we get "credit" for taxes paid to the country we are living in. The cost of living definitely balances things out. I jus

If you work for 90 days or less then nothing happens. If you work for 91+ days then you don't maintain your US employment. You must find new employment in The Netherlands and get a work visa. That may mean staying at your current compa

But where do you think it'll be in 10 years? Progress is being made towards renewable energy, people are taking trips by bicycle more, and although the change hasn't happened yet, public sentiment is that the NHS needs to be &quot

For everyone saying this must be the Windows Insider ARM based Windows version - the linked YouTube video shows him using (and paying for) the full Windows 11 x86. He even gives a referral code. It's at 48 seconds into the video.

In Atlanta if you turn off your A/C at 6pm you’re not going to be able to cool the building back down by the time the employees return in the morning. Reduce it a bit, sure, but it needs to be running 24/7. It would be a better be

My wife and I just spent a month in the UK to see how we’d like it and if we’d want to move there. If you are willing to commute 40 mins (by train) there are plenty of towns with 2 bed apartments for £400k.

Using it as an external display would also get rid of the problem of vendor lock it to the Lumina app ecosystem. A desk should last a VERY long time.
