Funny you say so Robert. Currently living in Zurich and definately planning to move to Utrecht. It certainly won't be too hot in 30 years. And sea level rise shouldn't be problematic yet this century.

Scary. This past year I went from seeing Climate Change as a "challenge to be overcome" to something that is simply happening during my lifetime. I suddenly realised that the truth is, in 20 years time 30+ degrees Summer Days will

Great article. It is necessary to be reminded of this some time. I always like to remind myself of Steve Jobs' famous speech where he says something like: "As with all matters of the heart, you know when things are right". Wh

As a european my answer is that throughout my entire upbringing, I've been taught to aspire to "just landing a job". Only in the second half of my twenties did I discover the "coolness" of being an entrepreneur. I a

Actually Switzerland released a Study today that they can cover the entire electricity demand in the country by building 3000 additional windmills. So maybe the nuclear power plants aren't needed after all. But of course, what will act

YES! Jesus christ it shows how shortsighted parlementary democracies are. And many individuals: Becoming semi-powerindependent has been possible and cheaper for a long time with Solar Panels. It doesn't heat your house though. But real

I have a question: I've noticed that whenever I talk to Americans, or read American blogs and books, they always tend to talk about working so many hours. Personally having worked in Switzerland and Holland I've never experienced

The catch is that other forms of energy are also greatly incentivised. Arguably even more than renewables (sorry can't be bothered to find a source). I live in a European country, and the first reaction by most governments here to risi

Good point. In my experience the chances of persuading the culprit are limited. However an article written by a third person is effective in helping persuade other team mates, POs, BAs and line managers. Ah yes, the terrifying politics of a

I am working in a code base right now that was literally ruined because of #3. It's full of extremely difficult to follow and test higher order functions that are completely unnecessary. A feature request did come for a "half&#x2F

Nairobi should be full of programming jobs. There should be many that will hire you. Try to find one in an industry you are interested in, and where your colleagues are good so you can learn from them. Then everything will be fine. I am jea

I think the picture of how he describes life and life-with-a-full-time-job is fairly accurate. One solution is to work 80%. Or even 60%. You can still make plenty of money to support yourself, and you can be happy while doing it.

To be fair, I believe there is some disputed evidence that the Kurdish (partially) descend from the Hittani. The arabs living in Iraq do not. Well... I guess in reality it is so far back that probably everyone in Eurasia descends from the H

YES! I was born in 1989 and have played quite a bit of age of empires 1. I find this podcast gave me goosebumps. The one on the Assyrians is my favorite podcast i've ever heard.

Huh? I thought it was the plot of "The ministry of the future"? Also written by an SF author (Kim Stanley Robinson). Ah well I guess great minds think alike. It is not an unlikely future.

Hi. Maybe I am very much like you? I love reading and completing online courses. Day job as a software dev. Sometimes it feels like I am wasting my potential; I know so much, usually way more than some dumb manager making decisions somewher
