Oh my, thanks, that makes sense. But damn, that almost sounds like a problem solvable with a regular expression :/ Well, at least before you released the game and nobody will protest about save game compatibility yet.

Firefox on a Surface Pro deals with it just fine.

Got a new Mastercard in Europe this year, still with signature space. Same for Visa from two banks.

Ah no. I'm thinking about games on Steam that I couldn't play between Windows and MacOS.

I really don't get it, despite having written my first game over 20 years ago. How can a large company publish a game for multiple systems, but fail to support cross platform play? I was really disappointed a couple times.

For about three years I say openly that if an email is important, my manager will read it out to me. Seems to work and in that time keeping ~100 people somewhat aligned became my core responsibility.

By nature of black holes: we don't know. For us it is pretty much a mass removed from this universe. For all we know, it has the average density everywhere. But the currently prevalent theory posits the density of the volume of the bla

The most mind-boggling bit is the inverse relation between mass and density. Quoting[1]: > A black hole of 387 million solar masses would have the average density of water and would be comparable to a giant water balloon extending from t

A bit of anecdata: I've joined Google 7 years ago to support an append-only very-large-scale database. About that time legal told us that an upcoming EU law will require selective deletion from the database. That was technically imposs

What if they are actually a democratic majority?

What else can we do? They have a fundamental right to deny all your science by putting fingers in their ears and screaming lalala. And they exercise it. And they have as much voting power as you do. And it's not some abstract bogeymen

Aren't all the pledges very specifically in a form that reduces to "my country will start behaving responsibly after I retire"?

I have some IKEA Floalt and whatever the other pieces were called. Everything you want. No phone app. No internet connectivity. I think you can do the same with Hue.

I was shocked when I learned about all the things you can't recycle in Switzerland. But it seems that, indeed, burning is the better choice. And it works well in practice.

See, my country saw some 300 years of democracy. At that point the progressives used a trick to pass a new constitution proclaiming all people to be equal. Conservatives felt their rights were violated so hard, they passed a resolution invi

In short: yes. The recent fire in a French DC saw serious disruption across all kinds of industries in many European countries. I know a sales engineer in a hardware manufacturing place, who was back to pen and paper until the IT provider f

But you're an engineer, aren't you? Do you think you could figure out if someone is bsing you about their experience in mRNA manipulation?

Internal mobility is strongly encouraged. People typically move after promotion, which is expected after 2 years. Some people don't like to move, bringing it down to about 2/year. All working as intended. Then, people moving out t

I don't think it's a matter of impossibility. The current process is simply a local optimum. Most practicing software engineers can pass the trivia quiz. Most time wasters can't, unless they googled for the answer key. The re

What alternative would be more efficient and acceptable? A typical team of 6-8 replaces two persons per year. The number of resumes per opening is measured in thousands.

Now, the inode question is part of the pre-screen. That's normally _before_ you get put on phone with any engineers. How the heck did you get it in "round 3 or 4"? Was your process started from scratch for some reason? The qu

Nope, the inode question is part of the 50-ish long trivia quiz that a sourcer uses to figure out if a candidate is worth putting on the phone with an engineer.

I don't think a (non-technical, mind you) sourcer gets that much confidence by reading out loud the answer key.

I'm afraid that even without the foreign investment one can't win this. Europe still sees a minor population growth. More importantly, there are large migration flows between countries, regions and to cities in general. This means

A colleague told me about the setup in their home country some weeks ago, I _think_ that was the Dutch one, excuse my fuzzy memory... Once your €1500 tenant leaves, you have 3 or 6 months to find the next one. If not, the city will offer yo

I'm visiting a not too tiny (1.5M metro population) European city. The closest supercharger is over 300km away. Over a week I've seen a grand total of three EVs. But seems about a quarter of the cars are hybrids.
