Absolutely! We have unlimited resources here in Sweden!

In some way, it's a bit strange that someone can take a picture of you and then -sell- it. Given that you can not take a picture of a statue and sell the picture, or even publish it, it's even more strange. Maybe some parents coul

Sure. But It would be nice if they sorted out these obvious first-year-physics questions in the article. Just measuring farts isn't really significant. Are there significantly more grazing animals on earth now than there was ever befor

Sure they can because the others will starve to death eventually.

You know, there is a bit of politics, but I've come to the conclusion that it's better to just hose down the managers with "techy-stuff" rather than try to sell them power points with bullshit. After all, if they are mak

Sure. A lot of "Agile" is actually cargo-cult agile, used as a vehicle for self-promotion: The daily scrum, the sticky-notes or the Jira.board, and all that other ceremony. Typically retrofitted on top of a defunct process, with s

The mould is most likely growing because a few strawberries where damaged and the rest got strawberry juice on them. The mould is already there, just not visible, on all strawberries, waiting for some sugar and water...

No ORM will pass queries using string concatenation? (Right? I know nothing about ORMs written in PHP by beginners that don't know SQL if it jumped up and bit them in the ass... But surely no half-decent ORM would concatenate strings t

The referendum is advisory, so they can do whatever they think they'll get away with.

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" - Isaac Newton. "Let's shove my head into my own ass. NOSQL!" - said by too many young and aspiring developers. It's a leap backwards to t

I've more or less stopped buying things from Amazon, basically because the horror stories about their warehouses. Also, I doubt that product quality is a factor at all when they put something is a store. I would like to think that I bu

I guess just read a lot of books, and keep doing it for several years. I learned to read when I was four, so I can't really remember, but I don't think I've gotten any faster since I was 16 or so. At that time I think I read

I'm fairly sure that most of them would be able to wing it if they had to. C isn't exactly that special. In all events, the percentage of users skilled in software development must be higher than among users of tools not related t

Skimming a text seems to be a skill that is on the decline. I thought that videos presenting a tool or library was a fad, but now I suspect that watching a video is actually faster and more convenient than reading a text, for a lot of young

I think that open source programming languages will always win in the long run, since the target customer base knows how to program and extend the tools.

I'm sure Stingrays catches a lot of bad guys. The problem is if the police is corrupted and are using it outside the law, or not by the intention of the law. (As this civil case nonsense)

I think the best way is to design the residential roads so that you have to drive really slow on them. I think the best idea is to do build the roads so that there is a single middle lane, surrounded by nice cobblestone refuges that is poss

Not quite. There is a traditional free right to roam, but it does not extend to gardens and areas next to houses. Outside of that, it is rather permissive. Back on topic but still in Sweden: more or less all shortcuts in residential areas

Given some practice, you don't actually need that much time until you find it's rather ok. But yes. Danish is probably the hardest to understand, and particularly speak properly, especially some dialects. Some Norwegian dialects a

I think you need to learn about 200 words that are confusing or have a different meaning between Danish, Norwegian, Nynorsk and Swedish... http://www.langsites.com/FalseEDNS.htm Some examples in the list are probably less s

One benefit is the extremely large set of 3rd party libraries and tools. It's hard to catch up outside the mainstream bread and butter stuff. Also, finding experienced developers, devops, etc. While Kotlin is interesting, and can use j

There is two sides on this coin. Nothing beats software craftsmanship combined with domain expertise. That is what makes the impossible possible. The developers that have these skills are not a commodity. The scenario that you describe is n

I think there is a difference between senile decay, and the fact that when you are getting older, you have witnessed the fragility of life in ways that most teenagers luckily have not. I think my empathy is growing as I'm getting older

True. I had this totally naïve idea that EU could introduce higher tariffs and trade restrictions using a score based on political freedom, social security, etc, and the goal would be to tax but not remove too much of the cost incentive for

There seems to be other theories similar to this, saying that our immune systems are subjected to too few pathogens in general, not just worms - due to the cleanliness of 'modern' life. There might even be some correlation to incr

The situation is the same in Sweden, with mosques and schools founded by Saudi. Especially the children are sacrificed in a unlucky and naive mix of belief in cultural diversity and a blind faith in the success of privately funded schools,

I agree. It would be good with some kind of fly-weight allocation for a whole array of objects in java. How is garbage collection for arrays of value objects solved? Is the whole array gc:d, or what? If an individual element is referenced s

I must admit that I have not played Minecraft on any computer without a fast nVidia card. It could be the OpenGL driver that makes it slow in your case actually. I am not sure that the graphics are "basic" in the technological sen

As an anecdote, when talking with my friends, we typically agree on that the time in secondary school - around the years 13-16 was the worst time in the life, defined by angst and worries, and those that went to university typically says th
