Whether it is this `fuck` command, an earlier `dwim` command or any of the helpful shells or missing command tools which provide me with suggestions, for some reason it still seems to be faster to do it the way I've been doing it for y

It is an odd thing that a company can on the one hand become known as the one firing an engineer who tried to open an honest discussion on a hot subject like 'gender discrimination' because that engineer was deemed to lack a moral

What about the Netherlands? The country has, for reasons you will be well aware of, a sizeable Indonesian population, albeit mostly consisting of people who moved from Indonesia before or around the beginning of the republic. It will be eas

In west-Sweden 37°C is hot, this region normally sees temperatures around 20°C in summer, -15° to -20° wintertime. The highest temperature ever measured in Sweden is a paltry 38°C, lowest -52°C [1] so that 37°C was... hot. [1] https:/

I cook on a wood-burning stove year round. Here in west-Sweden it can get quite warm in summer (with last summer being an extreme example with a maximum of 37°C and a period of around a month with daily temperatures between 25°C and 30°C, w
