If you have floor heating + heat pump, then the manufacturer recommendation is to keep it running 24/7 from October to April. That's for the climate where I live, elsewhere this period may be shorter.

To be fair, in recent years I've worked on a number of Typescript projects and it was common for developers to use `any`, `Object`, `() -> Promise<void>`, etc. Not super helpful. Though in my experience, sane code structure an

This approach works surprisingly well for most features, but care should be taken to remove those 'ifs' once the feature is stable/complete. Or, when implemented cleanly, they could also be left in place and used as long live

It's still used a lot also in Europe for OTP codes (banking and such), as well as for shops/deliveries, where they send an SMS for order status changes (shipped from the warehouse, in transit, ...).

It's not imaginary - for years Firefox drained battery on macbooks really fast. Then there is this pesky issue of randomly freezing whole laptop for a minute or so, usually associated with file uploads or locking screen [1], [2], [3],

Not really. The Google products I actively use are among those most stable and lasting in the web/apps industry: search, mail, maps, video streaming. I could also count here productivity tools like docs, drive, calendar, keep and so on

I disagree with almost everything you've said. That remark about financial stability is laughable at best. Look, I don't have any problem with my coworker(s) being more loyal to the company than to me. I do have problem with lying

I wasn't venting at all. I told him on purpose, so I could say that I trusted him enough. Obviously that trust was misplaced and we also didn't have a 1-on-1 again, I simply refused. What can they do? Fire me? Then didn't, bu

It's stupid in hindsight, but I just wanted to give him a chance to better prepare for me leaving, like start looking for new developer(s) or shift plans, etc.

I use SMSes for communication with people I don't know. For example, when buying/selling used stuff. For known people it's mostly FB messenger and WhatsApp, but sometimes also Skype and Viber. And then Slack for job related c

Yes, my experience was similar (note, last time I worked with Typescript was about a year ago). It was difficult to use libraries with higher order components or just abstractions in general: redux/thunks, formik, materialui, ... I did

I also don't have an account, so I got the same message as you. I wonder how Medium decides which stories are fenced with "create an account" page and which not, because most of the stories I can read normally.

In European countries that do have paid parental leave, the system is funded by state and has attached a couple of constraints. One of those is that the payments to parents are capped. So, a person earning high salary won't get it in f

It is (almost) the same for every city, if you compare driving times from suburbs to city centre. The reason is that city train/metro/tram needs to stop on 15+ stations before reaching the inner city. Still, to me, train is superi
