Thank you for giving an insight into the typical German way of thinking by immediately suggesting that the CIO was complaing about not being able to exploit his employees. He was not. I told him that I am running a tiny company and he warne

Well, if you employ self-employed people in your company and after a while you or they get audited and it turns out that you are their only customer, the will be classified as employees of your company. As a result you may have to pay socia

I realized a few weeks ago how broken IT in Germany is when I talked to a guy who turned out the CIO of a known German retail company. We did not talk about technology, exciting projects, ideas or similar, but about the complexity of the pr

Good for them, but let's be honest: It does not give a great picture that they are still up there after more than half a year.

To put it simple: He only bought the necktie so he can brag how rich he is. He could have bragged even more if he had bought the necktie in the other shop.

There was this joke about rich Russians that I heard maybe 25 years ago. Two rich Russian guys meet and one brags about his new necktie. "Look at this, I paid $500 for it." The other rich Russian guy replies: "Well, that is q

I always make sure to scroll down the comments on hackernews to the bottom, because sometimes that's where the best comments are.

I wonder why there have not been any updates on v8.dev since July 2024. Did Google axe some v8 developer jobs?

In the case of Quaero [1] "it did not work". Sure, all involved parties were praising the project and by constantly shifting goalposts they could label it a success, but in the end it was a huge waste of money, sucked in by the us

The only thing that I have been using AI for was to translate a localization file. And it was pretty good at that.

Traditionally this would be solved by inserting a comment into the code that insults the user (for example the classic "The user is a wanker" comment [1]). [1] https://www.theregister.com/2006/10/13/

It would be awesome to have new Labo sets that make use of that sensor. But I suspect that Labo will not get a second chance, given that the first sets were seen as a failure (despite being really cool).

In hindsight it is funny that Apple used someone with very big hands holding the first iPhone in their 2007 ads to make it look smaller. Nobody at that time could imagine that phones would only get bigger.

It would be fun to make that square packing for 11 from wood and give it to puzzle enthusiasts with this task: Rearrange the squares so you can add an additional 12th square. And then watch them struggle putting even those 11 squares back i

I learned riding the bike with support wheels. This was almost 50 years ago, but I remember that it sucked, because whenever a support wheel touched the ground it would pull you to that side. With my children we did the same as you, and the

I wrote "I love you" on the CCC Blinkenlights in Berlin to my then girlfriend, who has been my wife now for 20 years. The most romantic thing I ever did :)

IIRC that was over a year ago. But even in the EV market Tesla has been losing market share, mainly to Volkswagen, but not as much as in the overall car market.

Name another oil producer that can fully cover it's local demand with hydro power.

Give me the hydro power of Norway and I will make any country all-electric. Even if CO2 was great for our planet, it would make sense for Norway to go all-electric and export the oil. Let's just face it, they are lucky (and smart). Goo
