I wonder if stickers in general are more common in the US just like bumper stickers are. As someone based outside of the US, I rarely see people with stickers on their laptop. The very vast majority of cars also do not have bumper sticker

Maybe our threshold for cleanliness is vastly different, or you somehow managed to produce babies don't throw half of their food on the floor after every meal (3x a day)? But even with a magic baby and magical dogs, you mentioned only

I could go into detail how being able to have a dozen tabs open almost always gives a better result than simply picking the first flight on google flights. But let's assume there's no difference: Do you really want to use a phone&

That is very cool! Do you have any details on how it was built or is the source code available? Also, what happens if one of the daily missions is not completed? Is there a passive income from those?

A lot of fridges in Europe are integrated into the kitchen cabinets, similar to dishwashers. So I'd say they face the same kind of issues.

Maybe we need to collectively all 'lose' our phone just before boarding at the gate, resulting in some flight delays, so that this nonsense gets reverted.

So disruptive that I haven't tried KDE since. Articles like this one might encourage me to give it another go. Is there a distribution that's considered the 'best' for a KDE environment or will any do?

That is such an odd list. I also love that Singapore is both 'developing' on this list and int the Small Island Developing States list, despite it easily being in the top 10 of most developed countries in the world.

I personally can't think of an all-rounder language that is better than C#. It's fast, has great tooling, powerful, extremely productive for working with large code bases and runs 'anywhere'. JS has lost against TS whi

There's a couple reasons I disagree with you on this (at the moment; as given enough time I am sure C# will also jump the shark): * The above is just applying an existing (useful) feature to a different context. So there isn't rea

Just so I know for future travels: where is this and what do you use instead? So far I have seen Google Maps be pretty useless in parts of Asia with their own software infrastructure (e.g. Korea or Japan) but it's been very useful in m

Is it just me or does dividing an integer always turn on some alarm bells in my head? I'd immediately look into what happens for odd numbers, rounding, implicit type conversions etc. Or at least that's what I was taught when I fir

Here in Australia it takes barely a day to install a couple of split ACs and maybe 1-2000 USD all-in (Mitsubishi Electric; Midea would be cheaper of course). No idea how they justify the time and cost over there. Then again they pay tens of

It's weird that it did not guess the second picture. There's visible Thai text and even a Thai flag. I've had it fail similarly where it saw some text, messed up the OCR and was then lead to a wrong conclusion.

We do it similarly and it's pretty easy to tell if someone knows their stuff, especially as the assignment is just a platform to dig deeper in the face to face interview. However, the coding assignment was a really good filter and allo

So this sounds just like PayID in Australia or what was payM in the UK (which got shut down a couple of years ago due to lack of use), minus the QR code generation part. It's used between private people to make it easier to send money

So maybe the OP should have specified 'any low cost European airline'. But that's also true in North America. Last I checked, Air Canada was not advertising themselves as low cost.

I was referring to flights within Europe. (Btw, transcontinental is an American term that confusingly means from one side of the US to the other, and not 'between two continents')

What are you referring to? Air France, Lufthansa and BA all have carry-on included in the fare. If by "any European airline" you specifically mean Ryanair, then yes. We can expect people to pay if they did not print their boarding
