This is not just Europe. I've worked in both Hong Kong and Singapore, and in both cases I had a 3 month notice after the probation period. Mind you, in both case this is symetrical: the employer can get rid of me, provided they give me

I don't get the hate for Teams. Working from home, it's the best tool I can think of: - because the app is so slow, our IT suggested to use the web version instead, as such it can't detect the away/available status prope

I have the same experience... writing SQL code. When I'm programming, say in Python, I still see, in my mind, some manipulation of abstract concepts. When I write SQL, it feels like the code pops in my consciousness magicallyfor me to

This is spot on. Although I disagree with the removal of AML/KYC regulation, this is indeed the reason why it's so complicated. HSBC was fined heavily and only came out of judiciaral control recently because they didn't care

I was literally searching for tech / dev meetups in Toronto earlier today, as I moved here a couple months ago. The results were a bit disappointing. Most group are either dead or online only. That's a way to say: YES, if that hap

I'd be curious to understand where you get that information from. Fat that stays solid at room temperature is generally high in saturated fat (except for margarin, but let's keep it out). Fat that stays liquid is generally vegetab

This is fascinating, my experience is quite the opposite. The coming up is a very uncomfortable experience, both physically and mentally, but the coming down is the best thing ever: everything is at piece, in its right place, the world has

Definitely agree with the "cooking 6 steaks for guests". This is my secret trick at barbecues: I pre-cook a bunch of steaks that I keep warn in an ice-chest (with no ice, obviously), then as guest comes and goes, I sear them, whic

This is exactly why I really like functional programming / OCaml. It feels like piping modules to let data flow through, which is an abstraction I seem to be most comfortable with. Unlike OOP, which is nothing like this and offer a muc

I'd really like to be pointed to someone seriously denying the thermodynamic explanation. I've heard that argument time and time over, it's a strawman.

This is actually a great analogy. I believe what the article is (more or less succesfully) explaining is that the problem is with your thermostat, which drives you to eat too much, and that over-eating carbs screws up said thermostat. I&#x2

Yes! When you look at the price per square meters for housing in Paris, it's madness to allow people to leave their car overnight to sleep for free in the street!

Paris has parks too. edit: the Bois de Vincenne is roughly three times the size of Central Park (10km^2 vs. 3.4km^2).

My family (and everyone I know who remotely does any sort of home canning in France) always re-used store bought jam jars. I don't ever recall buying a jar for the sake of a jar. The only things we ever purchased are canning kits (some

That is one thing that I find concerning about Asia (having lived both in Singapore and Hong Kong). Messages from various government agencies are written and illustrated like kid books. It makes me uncomfortable that either 1. grown-ups are

I agree, but it forces the player to do something about it. After a few hours in a game, I typically develop an autonomous train network with various train stations. I build one for my own personal train (which gets loaded with all the stuf

I'd pay some seriously good money for some information about how to efficiently meditate with ADD. From my experience, it is a poor tool to improve one's condition, and ADD makes it nigh impossible to efficiently meditate anyway

Hong Kong consumes very large amounts of Ketamine, MDMA and Cocaine. Admittedly, not so much meth or crack.

That last thing about the effect of salt is something that has been bugging me for a bit. My understanding (at this stage, due to my lack of knowledge, it's more of an opinion , really) of this is that salt consumption slightly and te

There are many comments complaining about exactly that product, you probably ought to spend a bit more time on that thread.

The most obvious culprit is the lack of sleep, since feeding can only be done at night.
