I'm pretty sure there should be a meme here, that any new async messaging system ends up reinventing Erlang/OTP.

Case in point, in many European countries there are often no requirements for permitting and inspection of work done after homes have been completed (e.g. replacing a bathroom), and said homes are not falling down and/or death traps. T

Can someone recommend a budget WiFi access point with long range? I only have LTE as the backhaul, so the fastest speeds are not a requirement. I bought a EAP610 which I saw recommended on Reddit, but the range seems worse than the ISP mode

This is the main reason why I still use Google Photos. I have shared albums with my family, that automatically add photos using facial recognition. If I want to create an album for an event and share with people it's really easy.

In my country there is a legal difference between an employee and a manager position, so just giving the title alone doesn't mean anything. There is nothing really different about it in reality, but to truly be a manager you need to ha

If you car has an Eco or Power or Sport mode this is probably what it does. On my Toyota, Power mode makes the accelerator more sensitive and Eco mode makes it less sensitive (which is great for snow). Flooring it is the same, regardless of

I'm in Northern Europe and we haven't had a sunny morning since November. It's been cloudy every morning since then. Yesterday I saw the sun for the first time in weeks, for around 30 minutes...

My city and country doesn't have zoning for smaller projects, but it is harder to get business licenses for certain activities if it isn't already happening there. For example, it's going to be much harder to open a bar in a

The UPI system is great, unless you are a tourist, who doesn't have access to it. On a recent trip to India we came across many weird payment rules that made our trip much harder than it should have been, it felt like going back to the

What about methane? There are already commercial processes in place to capture it from landfills, and there are industrial processes that can produce it from hydrogen with an 8% energy loss. So if the green hydrogen problem is solved that c

The main issue with pumped storage is you need a lot of water. Imagine a elevated water tank like that used on farms. 20,000 gallons (75,000 litres) of water elevated at 18 feet (5.4m) has 1.1kWh of potential energy.

I read "used to" in the title in the past tense form. For a moment I was wondering why they no longer produce 3D images.

That sounds like parts of Spain. I lived in the south of Spain for a winter as I wanted to escape true winter. I live in Lithuania, and winter to us means -25c. My thought process was 'Spain is warm'. While I was there I think the

Not exactly the same, but my city is retrofitting a lot of Soviet-era apartment blocks to bring them up to modern standards. They are made out of concrete with no insulation and were built when (natural) gas was basically free. The bulk of

I'm not sure about Portugal, but a few years ago my wife was studying in Spain on a study abroad program. She is from another EU country, and we'd visited Spain a few times, so figured it would be easy. Pretty much every step of t

Sounds better than working at a startup, where you are being underpaid with the promise of options at IPO, where you constantly finish late in the evening and are always in panic mode to get "the next big thing" done. (My experien

It's interesting to look at developing countries like India for that answer. In these countries there are so many people doing jobs that in Western countries simply don't exist, because labour costs are too high. I wouldn't r

That's another issue, "vegetable oil" in different places means different things. In Europe it's usually a mix of rapeseed and corn oil.

For Americans: The Fiat Panda was a two door hatchback (five seats, but good luck...) launched in 1980. It was slightly longer than this at 3.3m. Not only was there a 4x4 option, but in 1990 an electric version was launched, which became on

I think one of their key selling points was you could return the car within 30 days - and they'd cover the cost of the return and refund you everything. From a buyer's perspective this is a nice idea, as you often can't tell

Why are used cars sold without a title in the US? In my country you need a green registration card (equivalent of the title) and a secret code from the equivalent-of-the-DMV (to prevent selling stolen cars) in order to register a vehicle in
