Kids are at school on weekdays. And I work from home particularly because I don’t want to have less time with kids.

Doing chores at home is no less hard than working at office, and much more thankless activity. Both me and my wife much prefer to do anything else than domestic labor, including actual work. So, it is quite unfair to ask only one of us to d

I live in Switzerland. It is “standard” in some of the conservative German-speaking cantons (though things are changing even there), but not here in Geneva. Domestic labor is hard and thankless. It is very unfair to pile it up on a single p

“One parent as the homemaker” — this looks very unfair in 2022.

Of all this, I have chosen not going to work. I work from home as a consultant. I don’t know how people can possibly live and keep their families while going to their office jobs every day. Since you already working from home, you might wan

Sorry, no. UNIX time is easy, works fine for most of cases and can be extended easily to the rest of the cases, and a single well-defined compromise approach. Replacing it with three different time representations is dangerous overengineeri

So? The leak has happened. All interested parties have already seen these. Now they are just an academic dataset, like Enron emails.

I mostly don’t; however, there are many people who prefer reading papers, well, on paper (which makes sense, as most LaTeX templates are adapted for printing, not for screen reading), and that’s quite understandable.

In France, Italy, Switzerland truffles are pretty common (usually summer truffles, occasionally black). You should buy these yourself, though; no guarantees in restaurants.

Nope. Espionage is delivering said classified information to foreign adversaries.

I wish I could. I don't think I am productive and focused enough, with my serious ADHD. Otherwise, I am happy for people who are strong and productive enough for the grind.

It can also be (and often is) used by people fighting authoritarian governments.

“Immensely gifted resource-wise”? In what world? Also, it speaks four languages, and more than a quarter of its population are immigrants — not what I’d call “homogeneous”. Switzerland is an exception (and a rich one) _because_ it is a dire

You have invented direct democracy (except that we don’t need parties as middlemen, the votes can be spent directly on legislations — the role of parties is limited to helping drafting legislations and recommending how to vote — and these r

Oh come on. We already have a working system: direct democracy. An entire well-developed country works like this: Switzerland (and quite successfully). I absolutely do not understand why it is not adopted elsewhere (except politicians egos,

Level 8 is about where sokoban starts? That's what nearly any beginner could do after a few days (or even hours) of playing.

Could you remind me how the typical German salaries for software engineers stand against https://levels.fyi ? I have seen much more German software engineers move to the US than vice versa, and there’s a reason for that.

Stablecoins are the product of centralized human-managed financial engineering, they are not exactly what crypto proponents had in mind. They are convenient for some purposes, but everyone keeps in mind that they are not "real" cr

Before TikTok, there was another app from ByteDance, now forgotten: TopBuzz. I think it’s there the algorithm appeared. At first, it started showing you some unfunny mess of weird gifs, memes and short news briefs. But after an hour or two

Why? He is making a correct decision from the business point of view, it is unclear who will be the replacement CEO, and there are similar layoffs across other tech companies. The board has zero incentive of changing the CEO now.

I know a quite successful software engineer who started learning to code in 44, and now he’s 48 and works as an Elixir software engineer in a major company. I don’t think you have to start early, you can learn programming really quickly.

Interesting, thank you! For me, I am totally OK with remembering and resolving ambiguities in context (both Haskell and Scala are heavy with these). But when everything is explicit and visible all at once, I am stuck, because of information
