Okay, but you spend 2000 hours per year at work. So 10 hours on a config is only .5%, which is the productivity gain you need to realise to get that time back in one year (assuming you also spend 0 hours on fighting vscode). Unless you&#x27

My wife died unexpectedly a year ago. A little before that I had set her up with a 1Password account and she had diligently moved all her details into it. She shared her master password with me. It was an incredible lifesaver in the first f

My dad never taught me how to shave, and for the longest time I just used these disposable Gillette style blades, and got terrible results. Missed spots, cuts and skin infections. At some point I decided to do some research and settled on d

I do quite a few interview each week, and one of our problems highlight the differences in these two approaches quite clearly. Inevitably, those candidates that layout their types, and think about the structure before they start coding come

Sanctions and boycotts are unfortunately blunt. Yet, every citizen in Russia pays russian taxes. Tax rubles funds the war. Taxes are paid equally by those who support the war, and by those who oppose it. The end result is the same - bombs o

Would you mind naming the company you work for? It sounds like a really nice place to work.

For fun, I started keeping a log book of the number of times a driver has been involved in a dangerous situation with me (like cutting me off), grouped by make. BMWs show up about 30% of the time in my notepad (in absolute numbers, not adju

That's certainly NOT generalisable to Sweden as a whole. Rural Sweden is definitely not accessible by public transport as a whole.

Well I, and my family took several tests with this firm - and I am very upset about this. I will be speaking to a barrister today or on Monday to explore what, if any, remedies we can seek over this in court. Please if anyone could recommen

Microsoft locked me out of my Skype account by enabling an old phone number as two factor out of the blue. I hadn't used that number for 10 years. So disappointing since it was my only point of contact with lots of old friends.

My strategy was: minimise casualties to kids, people and then pets. If the choice is between equal damage to pedestrians or passengers then pedestrians take precedence. All else being equal don't intervene.

The roles that I get approached for that pay 200k+ are mostly in Finance (quelle surprise) or DeFi. I regularly see golang and c++ roles paying 175k+ outside of Finance too though. Some tech roles typically fall between 120-150k with the o

It looks like the all time death toll of nuclear power so far is <20,000 total. Meanwhile coal plants kill 30,000 per year in Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_and_radiatio... https:/&#x2

My understanding of nuclear power economics is that the bulk of the cost is incurred at construction, and that you can maintain minimal capability at a comparatively affordable rate. Closing operational reactors makes no economic sense eith

In my opinion Europe's decommissioning of nuclear plants, particularly in Germany, is the greatest geopolitical blunder in recent history. The EU is now completely dependent on Russian goodwill to power their infrastructure for the nex

I've never used or tried any ergonomic keyboards. Last time I looked into it ~10 years ago I dismissed them since there didn't seem to be sufficient evidence to support the bold claims they made. What does it look like these days?

There's not really a seniority level where this happens. The outrage around the technical interviews shows a lack of understanding for the situation companies face when hiring. The reality is that something closer to 99% of the pool ar

The study says nothing about the underlying reasons for that discrimination though. The point of discounting those two roles in my post was to test my personal hypothesis of the underlying cause based on the data at hand - not to trivialise
