“Average” GDP per capita doesn’t tell you how “rich” the individuals are. You should look at the median income per capita. Berlin ranks lower there than other federal states and cities. Look for example here where it ranks 318 out of 400.

Meh. You could offset this. Tradesmen could get a tax credit and families as well.

This draft seems incomplete / hard to navigate. Apparently one of the new features of RDF 1.2 is „Quoted Triples“ where triples can be used as Subject / Object. But unfortunately it seems at least the Turtle representation doesn’t

In Germany some organizations advocating for visually impaired people (rightfully) complained about this. Apparently the problem is that the „sounds“ EVs play to mimic other vehicles at low speed are too different from other vehicles, and t

It’s not necessarily the engineers. Product and Leadership needs the telemetry in order to justify the expenses for their department or team or whatever and therefore justify the existence of those engineers.

You are probably in the US. In Germany usually each radiator has a thermostat and you usually do not have wall thermostats unless you have floor heating. That being said, I’ve double checked and it is Netatmo [0] and not Nest. The point sti

Jup. A family member has Nest thermostats. Server went down. The thermostats cranked up to 30C / 86F as the failure mode. Just makes no sense. I get that you don’t want freezing pipes, if the server goes down, but come on.

Have you had a look into plain text accounting like e.g. https://beancount.github.io/ ? Also written in Python, loads of tooling around it. Might be even good “just” as the database.

Actually good point, will talk to the respective PMs next week. Mainly been using it in CI in order to protect our own projects (thus yarn only for now)

We‘ve been writing a tool to check lock files against the registry: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gitlab/untamper-my-lockfile For now it only supports yarn, but npm support shouldn’t be too hard.

No worries. I actually like the display. Looks neat.

I think it’d be a little more honest if the first sentence started with „I offer a display with a simple API“. https://www.invisible-computers.com/imprint.html

Sibling comment mentions indicators and wipers being switched. Anecdote 1) In NZ I saw a car in the middle of a busy roundabout, wipers on, passengers visibly confused and crying. Anecdote 2) A kayak guide also mentioned, that if you see so

You can remove folders from spotlight indexing. I do it for all the source code folders. I’ve also built a small tool to check whether some git repo is in sync with upstream, so it could be deleted: https://gitlab.com/leiper

Yeah, what’s even more hilarious: Conservatives made the decision to shut down the nuclear plants and also destroyed the German renewable sector at the same time. But voters have a short term memory and will blame it all on the current admi

To be fair: Merkel (so conservatives and liberals) made the decision in 2011 after Fukushima in a move to align with popular sentiment.

Your cron schedule is currently 3 times an hour. So this script ran 78840 times in three years to generate 1490 commits. So less than two percent of scheduled actions triggered a commit. Wonder if web hooks or event driven execution might b

I get your point. But when you go through hundreds of applications for a single role, the ones with a cover letter do stand out. Not that I would only hire if you had a cover letter, but it still stands out. One hand folks complain about au

Depends on your definition of state. If you really want to dig into it: The country, Germany, or a federal state like Bavaria, likely not directly but indirectly, due to how our tax system works. Different entities collect different taxes,

Many, if not most, public playgrounds are maintained by the city or municipality in Germany. Here in a larger city they are checked and cleaned weekly.
