As a fellow European, I feel we have nothing to be amused about. What the church thinks still has excessive weight in lawmaking and people's opinions. Publicly funded schools have "religion" classes where the local mainstream

Effectiveness of indoor hang drying depends on air humidity and circulation. In our previous place, at end of August indoor RH would be around 70% (edit: outdoor would be around the same so opening a window wouldn't make a difference).

Nuclear is not what they're looking to replace with batteries, so comparing to that doesn't make sense. How many hours of smallest French coal power plant?

People have been taught to be irrationally afraid of in-process concurrency (including async). Not too long ago the standard approach for concurrency was "it's hard, don't do it". I've been told off in code review f

In the context of learning at work, there's a good chance they'll be trying to make some minor changes in an existing project, instead of doing something from scratch. For that they need to interact with the CVS.

Ok fair, it's a culture difference. Here in Finland, a sandwich is what you'd have for a coffee break snack, and a salad for lunch means you're worried about gaining weight or about to go out with someone for an actual lunch

The available selection could be a problem. Near my home, there's a sushi place, two pizzerias, a Subway, a chinese and some cafes that don't really serve anything I'd call lunch. After 1½ years I'm sick of all of them.

Wouldn't a 100-200 year old city area be much more likely to have originally been "Master Planned" than a modern development?

Following the procedure taught in class (and I'm quite sure they didn't teach "make a guess") is safer. When you show the correct procedure and fumble say, and addition, near the end, you'll still get almost full po

In addition, something approacing from opposite direction might already be there when you decide to launch, digging away at the diamonds. Or a local star might have gone nova and vaporized the whole diamond field.

Capitalism 101: you won't get there with your own work. You get there by installing yourself in a position where you take a cut out of work of others, then scale it up.

I think we're not anywhere near a level where a car could drive fully autonomously just with the local hardware, without a detailed data set of all the roads and real-time updates on conditions. That data set needs to be continuously m

Nah. First they make the car rental company figure out who you were, so they can late charge your credit card for their trouble. Then they wait an year or so before figuring out where you live, before mailing the invoice to you, so they can

Non-resolving or offline mail servers count to your bounce rate if you have a 3rd party service handling your outgoing mail. So for that purpose, it is an invalid address in the sense that you should avoid sending anything to it.

Still I think a lot of Thinkpads need some parts (often the motherboard!) replaced before they run out of extended on-site repair warranty. The small sample from my co-workers seems to indicate that the rate for that is over 50%. Maybe I ju

The other significant difference only becomes apparent in a couple of years: the non-stick pan won't last. The coating starts to flake off. So if you're really in a situation where you could buy only one of the pans, you should bu

Nothing wrong with printing more money, how else would they keep that inflation going? Edit: not joking/sarcastic. The amount of currency in circulation needs to increase or there's no inflation. And inflation is considered necess

The same principle can be applied for taking your money out. Instead of a single big cash-out, take $X per month.
