You should read how influenca virus infections work. The virus doesn't spread via bacteria. It's the weakened/stressed human immune system (by the virus) which evventually suffers from bacteria which live in and around us all

Where do the numbers come from? You hardly can compare the number of tickets in an issue tracker of an open source software (let it alone being a distribution, collecting thousands of packages and reporting straight to upstream developers)

Wow, the Apple guidelines are done so much better then the Microsoft ones. Not only the guideline document is better written, styled, with focus on details, but also the guidelines itself are more concise.

Learning! Reading relevant books, talking with colleagues. Or doing orgamization overhead, such as the preparation of an issue tracker or a wiki for the new project. Thus you are fully prepared once the new project starts.

The two technical reasons listed by the author: (1) Cookie prolongation to subdomains as a safety measure (I don't buy the performance issue -- if cookies harm your performance, you misuse them) (2) Cannot use CNAMEs on @ (the domain i

You should learn to use big and famous python libraries which are relevant in your field (and neighbouring fields). This could be scipy/numpy/matplotlib, pandas, but also something regarding user interfaces, such as PyQt, or web l

Perfect, so you should learn about OpenVPN. Forget about IPv6 in the moment, learn about classical TCP/IP, routing, CIDR. Spend 10€/m for a VPS, it is a great investment for learning.

Obviously it really depends on your need. I find an elevatable/height-changable desk, sufficient screen space and a silent area/computer a minimum for an ergonomic workspace. If frequent (weekly is frequent) video calls are on the

Your ideas sound crowds and nonworking. What about investing your interest on technology for something good. What about learning the basics of Linux and Networking? Installing Arch Linux is a good exercise. Setting up an OpenVPN server, too

Maybe just be more rigorous: Provide builds only for people who pay. I've seen such an option many times in former days where you could buy a binary or build the source code your own. The advantage was then that you didn't have to

Naming "not using an IDE" like this is an interesting idea for folks coming from systems like MS Windows. I'm a "Unix as IDE" guy for +10yrs, but noticed for some large projects that an IDE actually can make a big d

As somebody (male-ish) who has made a PhD astrophysics in western Europe, I find this great but surprising at the same time. One thing is that we have here only 20-30% females starting with studying physics. There is a "pyramid effect&

Time for fun project stories: I once wrote a Java GUI program. That was 2007, Swing was still a thing, and "rich" frontend were still very basic (since there were no really good HTML engines for Swing/AWT). So one day, I thou

Wow, thank you for the tip with owllabs.com -- that device sounds amazing (while being damned expensive...). Why do you still use another microphones when you have a 800$ webcam (with integrated microphones) in the room?

I don't understand the authors reasoning. Similar to him, my eyes are bad and I don't profit from super high resolution at all. It is an unnessary burden to scale up everything. Having bought just a low Res display would be the si

Focus on the popular stuff: C on AtMegas, Real time Linux on rasperry pi's. That's something where there are tons of tutorials and books. Forget about fancyness in the moment. Instead, if your future company does Qt, learn Qt. It&

I don't know in which place of the world you live. Here in Germany, it is pretty easy: Whenever you have an issue with your health, you go to a general practitioner or the hospital. In any case, somebody with +10yrs of university educa

Hi Ruphin. I guess you are a developer at ING -- may I ask you something Off-topic? I have a simple giro account at ING and just would like to query the balance regularly with a script. Nothing fancy at all. Is there some API you offer? I&#

I guess you mean preparing CSV files for another format, in order to load it in some ML code? Vim. It can easily handle large multi gigabyte text files. For batching: head, tail, awk, grep -- the good old command line gems. They have hardly

Something I would recommend for concentration is: Time recording. I don't do it, it is painful, but I can imagine it could be a game changer for tracking what one is doing.

Well, the "why" is certainly "because you use git from the command line; no context switch; CLI is always faster then GUI". And of course these reasons are poor and hide the fact that with systems like Github (Gitlab and

Whenever I read about the efforts of Microsoft in and around Git, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is an amazing contribution to OSS. It really conquers complex architectural problems with better algorithms and does not only polis

What a pessimist! Here are my ten optimistic positions: 1. Computing and tech: Manycore systems become standard, even cellphones have hundreds of cores. Many fundamental algorithms have been developed to make use of these cores. Of course t

If they had, they would know that virtually any compiler can do this on his own. I also know these examples and I know the people who are writing them. "Copy & Paste" coding is just more convenient for them instead of writing

What I don't like is code where comments explain obvious things. Code should be speaking for itself. This is an easy demand for pure administrative code ("high level" or how you want to call it) in an expressive language. Onc

I don't think so. There are lovely scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Ruby and the like, which make simple things simple. There are gorgeous novel system languages such as rust and golang which make system programming easy. Ther
