Before Covid I got my German B1 certificate. I was diligently going to German-speaking meetup twice a week. One of the meetups had a bunch of googlers in it regularly. One of them was a loud gregarious Italian from the north. He was telling

It's just a bunch of drama from two American companies trying to lock in their lead via government regulation. Meanwhile I'll just keep using open-weight models.

My wife and I have used electric toothbrushes (sonicare) for years. I used to shop for the best deal and the lifetimes on the brushes was not great - the battery would hold less and less charge to the point you had to charge it daily or som

Yesterday I saw a full-sized 100% electric Volvo semi-truck here in Zurich. It was owned by Aldi and making a delivery to one of their stores. It was a bit louder than I expected but nevertheless impressive. https://www.aldi-suis

Every now and then I look through the cables and take out the ones I no longer have hardware for. We have a cargo-tram every couple of months where you can bring things for disposal that don't go to normal garbage or recycling. Suppos

Does it really? Or is it that they're all pretty much good enough and so you just go with what's cheapest or what you're used to? For example, in IntelliJ I can switch between maybe a dozen models with a drop-down but the onl

There are two fields. The second very weak field is acquired over centuries, I assume when the piece is not moved. The primary stronger field is created when it's first formed. I think what you're talking about would orientate the

One thing I've learned listening to Monocle podcasts is that non-fiction writers have to hustle a lot to be successful. Many of their regular guests are non-fiction writers and they are constantly talking about what conference they jus

There's a very cool project wrapping up here in Zurich where they built a relief tunnel from the sihl river underground downhill to lake Zurich to handle 500-years floods. One weekend they let people walk the length of the tunnel from

I'm in Switzerland and hadn't ever experienced a power outage in the 13 years I had been here but when Russia invaded Ukraine there was talk of intermittent rolling blackouts. They never happened but just in case I bought an ups f

I never liked the idea that programming is an art. When there's a problem that you're trying to solve there's usually only one or two good ways to solve it and hopefully you know one of those approaches. When you start gettin

I think there's probably more going on than that one chemical. For example, if I don't go jogging for a week and then go for a run my shirt later after it dries smells like urine. I looked up why and it's because urea builds

I think around twenty years ago or so I was getting contacted by recruiters so much - like daily - that I decided to hide my LinkedIn account. I logged in but there was no option to make me invisible. So I decided to just delete the account
