if you have a loan of 1m at 1% interest (yes, that was the interest in Denmark before covid), then you can sell that loan for 800k and refinance with a new loan of 5% interest. in turn you cut off 200k of your loan. This technique obviously

if you make a bond type mortgage in Denmark, then you trade your bonds directly in the market. this has some benefits to the say home owners. They can speculate: When interest rates go up, refinance and sell you previous mortgage for cheap.

How do you do constant time lookup an graph databases? My intuition let's me know that you can not get below O(n log n) (Lower limit for comparison based ordering)

Entropy. You loose bits to a known source, which reduce entropy of the UUID.

I am curios about this, and might be misunderstanding what you mean. Can you layout a demo architecture where you use multiple keys like you propose?

by madsbuch 3y ago
You need it to make database indices perform better. If you don't need that, but just need a random UUID, UUIDv4 is better.

As written elsewhere, I can appreciate the differencen between the tax codes in different countries. When I contribute to my tax-exempt pension in Denmark, I can deduct that in whatever income I have, whether that is from an employment or p

I have also worked as a contractor (In Denmark, though). Working as a contractor in software development is rather forgiving, as there are only insignificant expenses. Therefore I can report most / all of my revenue as profits and pay

forgive me if I am wrong. what I can see from rudimentary search on IR35 is that it is meant to make people pay the same tax whether. employed or working as a contractor. personally I find that reasonable. the government should subsidize co

What about making a distributed system for distribution so the costs of the license validation doesn't fall on a single entity. Then again, we might already have that. I vaguely remember talk about the fact that it is legal in Denmark

I have been reporting issues several times, though they have never been taken seriously.

by madsbuch 3y ago
you can argue that the distribution costs are negligible. after all the entire post is about piracy where no one is being paid for distributing the files.

Wouldn't it be congruent to remember to record it off the broadcast and download it later? A lot of what is being downloaded has already been broadcasted.

I think the problem in Denmark is re-buying things: You bought Harry Potter on VHS, now again on DVD, again on BlueRay, again through Blockbuster, and again through YouTube. In the end that is one expensive movie! In the end it is less unfa

As you can see, more than 50% of Danes already do. Being a Dane myself, my impression is that it is less stigmatised in Denmark than in other countries.

I have also had issues that mails never was sent, even though I explicitly hit sent. these are application development regressions and bugs. maybe it is just too. uninteresting for Proton to build a great product?

I have some thoughts on this also. The main thing is that tech debt does not capture the ongoing costs – you only pay interest when there is a principal, and for all debt, you can pay the principal off. https://www.madsbuch.com&#

People who have the subject matter as profession and not writing about the subject matter? I would love to freelance write for a software magazine while being a professional software engineer.
