Been to Kathmandu several times and I wouldn't say Nepal is industrialised in general, but not even remotely at the level of China. What makes the air really bad in Kathmandu is the amount of old trucks and buses on the very dusty stre

Even more importantly, I assume regions affected by bad air quality like North Italy are also the worst with regard to cronic respiratory issues in the general population, which makes the situation a lot worse.

You're right. My mistake.

Lockdown in Italy is a concept that is difficult to enforce. And it's probably very different to what it means in China or even just South Korea or any other more organised and centrally governed country in Europe like France. But in e

Italy is there at the top with Japan in terms of median population age. This might play a role in the statistics.

Not at all. I think the media is overestimating the effects of this virus. The world will realise that soon and everyone will calm down. I can see this effect right now in Italy. I in one of the affected regions and while a few people have

I think this is just a good overview of the architecture and its characteristics. I'm not sure anyone is trying to evangelize anything.

In many countries in Europe you can't use cash for large sums. We generally use bank transfers to buy cars.

I hope you're joking. What's good in removing species from their natural habitat? This could create a massive imbalances in any ecosystem.

Ok, but then what's the point of splitting it in the first place? The way I see it is to split your domain so that a team owns not only the code, but also the model, the data, the interface and the future vision of a small enough area.

Unique storage for multiple services sounds like a recipe for disaster. The purpose of splitting services, at least one of, is to decouple parts of the code at a fundamental level, including storage and overall ownership thereof. You'r

Most major airlines suspended flights to and from Teheran on that day, so the odds were a bit higher than normal.

I'd much rather live in a country where disparity is not clear like in Austria than the US. And I'm a software engineer but that doesn't change how I think about social justice.

The online version has non-free plans as well, so I don't see your point of not relying on it.

It brings value in the long run and makes retention easier. If I work for a company who pays differently based on location, I'll soon be searching for a company that pays the same based on level of seniority or other internal criteria.

Tel Aviv has many examples of good 20th century urbanism. London Barbican is also a great example. I'm sure there are more but we'll see which ones will be true classics over time.

An MVP should consist of the minimum work required to test an hypothesis. In this case the hypothesis is: "People would buy a browser if it offers an ad-free experience". So it's viable according to that idea. Viable doesn&#x

Shantaram is a great novel that is very easy to read regardless of the book length (it's very long). If you are even remotely interested in India and/or travelling it is a must.

Yes. Bolzano is curiously one of the hottest cities in Italy during the summer.

OT: out of curiosity, did you get the one with FHD or WQHD screen? Having nightmares trying to set it up with an external monitor and scaling UI properly in Gnome.

Just scrub the footbed with water and marseille soap. It always worked for me with the traditional ones made of leather. A lighter method is to scrub some bicarbonate of soda gently for a couple of minutes, leave for a day and then clean up

This sounds really expensive! Are all contracts similar in the US? In Italy I pay EUR 5.99/mo for 30gb and unlimited calls including to any European country and some international countries too.

Doing TDD in Python every day. Done that with other languages in the past and can't see any difference, so I'm curious to understand why you have this feeling.

If your application mostly reads from the DB then don't use a ORM. I think ORMs shine when you need to save/update a domain model to a relational DB. In the CQRS world, a fairly typical choice when using a relational DB is to use

Well done, it looks really neat, although I personally prefer the simplicity of just using curl in another tmux panel and keep Vim light.

Robert Sedgewick's Algorithms has been one of the best for me, not only as a general refresher on algorithms, but also as a way of better understanding complexity notations.
