Imagine we have a company with 100 shares total. I have 1 share. Now you print 100 more shares and keep them. Sure, company is still the same but the wealth is redistributed, I have 2 times less of it. Same with US dollars. Half of them mig

First time I spend a day on a partial-compile-only bug I switch if off and it's good old full recompilation from that point :)

I also got very upset with Adobe subscription model and simply switched to Affinity Photo / Designer and DaVinci Resolve. Never looked back.

I'm using Maps pretty intensely and haven't seen a single fake business yet. Worst I've seen is single-person shops marking their home address as business location, I just report those as "private" through the Andro

This is already possible in some video editors, see e.g. DaVinci Resolve optical flow - https://youtu.be/4LsLaJq5-ow

This is so out of touch with most of the world's population. In post-soviet world having a tiny 1 bedroom apartment on 10th floor with yard overrun with parked cars is the best middle class can hope for. Even in the western Europe havi

Sometimes I think that decades of spending all our productive time in a 'work' setting make people feel like they like it, might be a basic psychological adaptation mechanism. In fact, being an able human and having months of time

On our farmer's market prices are usually through the roof. We buy at Lidl where cheap produce is ok and there are also more expensive but still reasonably priced tastier options for most items.

This is my experience as well in Germany. Fruits and vegetables are also quite tasteless. Some common items are simply missing. I'm afraid same will happen in US once the initial hype and attention to the details wear off and ROI consi

This is actually quite common around here. In Austria you have e.g. Schlitters and Alpbach that also don't have street names and they are even bigger than Hilgermissen. Related: use caution with Google Maps in Austria. Here e.g. it sug

Sadly can't help since I'm using Windows at home, didn't have any installation issues. Only gotcha so far is that one has to download a separate binary for the paid version of the app, there's no "activation" i

I've used a few open source video editors and the only one that was stable enough was Kdenlive. Since then I switched to the DaVinci Resolve and am super happy with it, even bought the paid version USB dongle. Funny that Resolve is als

Yup. In houses that are not connected to the central heating, hot water travels through many more systems in your house than the cold water. Some of those systems can be pretty nasty e.g. when I disassembled my circulation pump, the water-i

I'm using Paketsafe for 1.5 years, pretty happy with it. The welcro came off the lid with time but I just glued it back with silicone. The bag itself is steel-lined. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01L7DYJD2

Not only that, it can run up to $500 or more per underground parking spot in maintenance per year for electricity, physical space and entrance maintenance, fire safety systems and obligatory insurances. Additionally, you might not be allowe

8K sounds scary but if you think of it as a sequence of 33MP photos it starts to sound quite OK. Plenty of cameras shoot photos with higher resolution than that already.

Looks like his answer assumes that "before", people were happy. I don't think this was ever the case. More so, being unhappy might be itself an evolution tool.

I wish them all the best but I don't know a single person in the market for this. For geeks, programmers and DIY folks it's overpriced, for the casual user the benefits are questionable - you're switching from a proven, free
