In Spain, to send money without commercial purposes, Bizum is everywhere. No cost, no need of IBAN, SEPA, or any other information. Just a phone number, that might be in your contact list or not, the desired amount, and is done. Some busine

You're being downvoted, but I sort of agree... How in the world can I stop worrying about errors like using a non existant class member and having a runtime exception? How can I refactor? Ok, the core devs add annotations, then type hi

To me, goverments 'green' measures are just patches that won't work, but are very likely to ruin the lifestyle of the middle class, while the affluent keep theirs untouched. At the same time, the only real solution that is po

Daniel Kahneman, in his book thinking fast and slow, has a really good insight on why people in bad situations keep taking bad choices. Google "The fourfold pattern". Basically, he states that there's a cognitive bias where p

I fondly remember my visit to the videoclub. Never been a social guy, but I found enjoyable a short talk with the guy at the counter. He gave me his opinion on the tape I was about to checkout and made suggestions about the new acquisitions

To me, is a society and ego issue. When you're 20-30 something and a nobody in your field, but a privileged mind, you keep your eyes open to all posibilities. You are hardworking and then results come. Then you gain a name and have all

For older kids, I think bricolage and manual labor can bring some of this attitudes you talk about. The digital world is mostly done. Everything, from social networks, to videogames is studied to avoid frustration, be addictive, and generat
