Mutton is more and more rare in Norway too. Everyone wants lamb. Mutton is really good though. More taste. But the one meat I really miss being more widely available is horse meat. Used to be able to buy it easily 20 years ago. Now it&#

Missing most of the Nordics (most of Norway/Sweden, all of Finland and Iceland) .. is probably what you'll get the most complaints about with regards to this.

I've got a couple of heirlooms, both from my great grandfather. He was an artist. 1. A painting he created, landscape with a deer. He wasn't very good at painting deer, it looks like a pig. :-) 2. A set of chess pieces. Very we

To whom? I could read it as patronizing to Knuth, which I didn't intend it to be (but it could obviously be read that way). I absolutely love Knuth and his in depth books on algorithms, and his thorough understanding of the field of

You have to realize that Donald Knuth is 85 years old, and while he knows a lot about computers, he is hardly on top of this newfangled thing called 'The Internets'. Let's just visit a very good and old read on Donald Knuth

What's shocking to me is how little practical exposure folks get during University. People go through University without knowing what an RFC is. During my time, I had three or so really interesting courses. One on algorithms. Anoth

If running nmap gets you fired from a job, then that wasn't a job worth keeping. Sheez.

I agree with you, but there's one big "Oh, right..." in there. Up until a year and a half ago, I had never enjoyed a jog in my life. I had done plenty of "jogging" during school years, as part of gym class, but nob

I "snuck" in to watch Crash, by Cronenberg, at a con in '96 or '97. I was among the crew/organizers at the con, so "snuck" is an exaggeration. Anyhow. I was 16 or 17 at the time. It was rated 18 in my

I was thinking about ipv6 the other day. I concluded in my head that adoption was just around 5-10%. Luckily I went to verify that with statistics. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html While

I just wish we could get some smaller smartphones again. I absolutely loved the Nexus One (HTC Passion). Just the right size.

The problem is centralized rules. Different cultures has different rules. Joining it up to one platform and then enforcing one cultures rules on all the other culture is Not Okay. There are different views on nudity around the world. Nip

First: CEPH is the closest I've seen. And it is pretty damned good. Two reasons: 1. Colossus is extremely dependent on other Google Tech to work and be cool. Implementing 'just colossus' without the rest of the tech stack w

I worked as an SRE on colossus during it's infancy at Google. One of the coolest pieces of tech I've ever had the pleasure of working on.

I have yet to see the winter last 9 months. Typically starts in November and ends in March. And nothing to do during the winter? Cozy up by the fireplace, pop a bottle of wine with a loved one. Read books. Make delicious food. Prepare

Norway has been mostly cashless for the better part of 2 decades. I've noticed one particular thing that gets much more difficult. I have trouble teaching my kid about money, and quick addition/substraction. When money is much m

First off, I trust Stapelberg, as I had him as an intern ~10 years ago :P Secondly, I'd like to point out that I wired up my house for 1Gbit about 20 years ago. And I've been frustrated about the lack of home equipment for 10Gbit

So, I installed my 1Gbit home network around 20 years ago... Quite frankly, I'd expected a 100Gbit uplink by now.

You can start a company, as a private person, and expect everything to work when you run it from home. Just as if you were to run it from anywhere else.

... Are you serious? We got 1Gbit in 1999-2000 at work. Upgraded to this crazy IBM standard for wall sockets. Turned out to be unnecessary. We had 10Gbit at work in 2006. When I switched to one of the 'big internet companies'
