Most European airlines have limits on the size of luggage you can take onboard. If you have baggage that is larger than the limit they’ll make you check it in, and charge you the airport fee which is a lot higher than if you booked it when

I suspect the amount of alcohol you need to drink to keep these pathways ‘excercised’ is probably a lot less than even moderate drinkers drink.

I was thinking about this the other day, and in the U.K. there are a lot of people who would say they are Christian if asked their religion, but really they are non-practicing or more likely atheists, but don’t want to admit it.

Here in Lithuania (EU) you can also get in trouble for wearing the wrong t-shirt. Nazi and Soviet symbols are banned from being shown in public, and you will end up with a fine if caught with a t-shirt or bumper sticker. I believe it’s the

Based on the quality of the 1.4 release, I would say probably not. There were many glaring obvious bugs and omissions, so they must had been in a bit of a rush (i.e. badly managed) to get it out.

Regarding the pain, a few years ago I injured my lower back. Recently I haven’t really been paying much attention to it, and even just bending down to pick something up caused a little pain in my back and knees. A month ago I went to a heal

My laptop (2014 MacBook Air) only has 4GB of RAM. Most of the time it’s usually fine with Chrome, Spotify, Slack, a Terminal, Rails, Webpack and Neovim (with ALE, so another Node process running). However I have to keep the number of tabs o

How did societies in northern regions historically get enough vitamin D? Yes they would have spend more time outdoors than we do now, but they’d also be mostly covered to keep themselves warm, so even on a rare day when it’s sunny they woul

I worked at Tesco ten years ago, and whenever someone bought a TV in store, we were promoted on the checkout to enter their house number and postcode. I was told it was for TV Licensing.

As a developer who should probably pay more attention to this than I do, can you recommend some reading material about how to make an app accessible, and how to make sure it stays accessible (i.e. is there a good way to CI test this?).

There is nothing wrong with being opinionated, see Rails and DHH - it's not everybody's cup of tea, but it worked well for the audience it was designed for. As I understand the issue most people have with GNOME is the choices the

I use i3 with some GNOME services. I tried full GNOME late last year, but I much prefer a proper tiling window manager. On MacOS I used SizeUp which fulfilled my requirements pretty well, but AFAIK there isn't something like that for G

Print everything out and seal it in an envelope with instructions for them to "open this when I die". If you don't trust them enough, give the same thing to a lawyer.

by fyfy18 9y ago
I think a big takeaway from this is that just writing stuff down is important. Even if you don't die it could be useful; maybe you are involved in a car accident and forget the last 3 years of your life. Where do you store all of this?

Rome may be a bit of a bad example, as although it’s the capital of Italy, it isn’t that wealthy a city. However even on trips to other parts of the country (I was there for over a year) it appeared to be the same situation. There’s definit

I use Linux on the desktop and this is my biggest gripe their too (well it’s the same on BSD too, nothing Linux specific). Sometimes I wish the desktop environments were a bit more opinionated like MacOS (but without all the restrictions).

Typically you want to keep nuclear plants running at full power all the time, as most of the costs are fixed or sunk, independent of the electricity output. Most countries use nuclear power just to generate a small fraction of their electri
