Both Finnish and Swedish are official languages in Finland. Linus' parents are from the region of Finland that primarily speaks Swedish, so Linus grew up speaking Swedish at home.

"you're not mature enough to do this" Isn't it rather saying that you're not experienced enough to do this. Speaking only for myself, I passed my driving test no problem and after a couple of month of driving I th

Is 40,000 deaths every year a lot? The only meaningful way to say is to compare it to other countries. Pr vehicle mile it is a lot more than many Western European countries and Canada, and a lot less than Mexico.

Animatics in my experience have always been a thing, it's just they were normally created from the storyboards. At least on the movies I've been involved in (admittedly years ago), it really came down to the fact that the directo

I used to work in the field and Cinema4D seemed to be the go to tool for just about every solo freelancer in the business. Yet I basically never saw it at any studio I ever ran across.

"f#ck off, it's free" is possibly an acceptable response if you're also working for free. If maintaining that free software is your job that you are getting paid good money to do, you really should hold yourself to highe

Honestly I don't see any evidence that Microsoft wants anything. Every little fiefdom within Microsoft wants their own thing and no one cares about what is good for the company as a whole. There is at least one team that just wants to

That matches my experience with this sort of makerspace. It launched with much fanfare and I was really excited. However it was far too expensive for me to use as a private individual, and didn't have enough high end or specialised equ

You're both right ;) Google maps was indeed bought from an Australian company. Or to be more specific, Google bought a company that had a desktop mapping application that they were in the process of porting to the web, the web version

Much more useful would be to make a list of all the reasons these innovations keep ending up in the US rather than staying in the EU, and then trying to do something about it. What does it matter how innovative the EU can be if no one in th

You (and I) may think so, but I have seen serval talented people who could not break through the noise with a normal resume get hired very soon after posting a (really good) video resume.

Yea. If they want to support EU based companies and tech, why wouldn't they use SuSE? Or base it on Debian if they don't want to be 'beholden' to any company.

Does Klarna require that you pay in 4 separate instalments, or can you pay it all off at once?

In Sweden (the home of Klarna) you've been able to pay for your DoorDash equivalent using Klarna for ages now, and I've never heard of any backlash or even anybody questioning it. If you can pay by credit card, why not Klarna? I&#
