Or, I go to the office, focus for 6 hours uninterrupted, get done what needs to be done, and then go home and not think about work at all for the rest of the day.

I can get the same at home Personally I find home more distracting than the office. The office is a clean work space with a desk with only my work computer and work stuff and everybody around me is also working. Home has chores and errand

The rest of the day, you listen to small talk The office where I work we have a whole section of one floor that is strictly no talking and phones must be on mute. If you want silence you can sit there. I cannot imagine that we are the onl

I don't want to make any claims, though. I think you're missing the point of why these "overly-bureaucratic clients" are insisting on insurance. I don't want you to have insurance to keep you safe, I need you to

In Sweden at least they will just send it to collections. Something which down the road could potentially negatively affect your possibility to, for example, rent an apartment, and in theory they could even garnish your wages if you keep re

American startup culture is so weird On the one hand, sure. On the other hand this relentless focus on "hyper-scale" or bust is what has pushed the US startup scene to where it is and probably why it is so far ahead of the rest

If they are using standard compliant tools like pyenv, venv and pip then uv will play nicely with that. In fact I'm working on a project like that right now. The 'official' guidelines says to use pip and venv, but I'm us

Environment management, testing, formatting, libraries and building in one tool should be a minimum requirement. Poetry kind of tried that, and in doing so failed to allow for a lot of uncommon but vital corner cases. In fact the main re

Uv doesn't require .venv in the project directory, it's just the default. If you have a good reason why it doesn't work for your setup, you can place the venv dir anywhere and still use uv.

"uv pip" is a ground up implementation of python pip and doesn't use the python pip command in any way. So still only two package managers. And the point is that you always have to use two package managers when developing pyt

People also said the same about poetry and pipevn (and no doubt some other tools I'm forgetting).

I would walk away if I saw that. And that is probably why they go out of their way to not show you that.

I wish these sort of papers would focus more on the 3 percent that it got wrong. Is it wrong by saying that a day would have a slight drizzle but it was actually sunny all day, or was it wrong by missing a catastrophic rain storm that devas

Indeed. The low income inequality is in many ways a contributing factor to the high wealth inequality, since it is virtually impossible to become wealthy in Sweden just by working hard and earning a salary. Virtually no 'normal' j

You're looking at income inequality, not wealth inequality. While Sweden has relatively low income inequality, it has extremely high wealth inequality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_we..

That is obviously too reductive. I liked to think of myself as a YIMBY. When they wanted to build two 17 story apartment buildings in my neighbourhood I thought it sounded like a great idea, even though they would be much taller than any ex
