Comparatively it's one of the safest cities in the world, as in, its less safe then maybe 4-5 cities in your list? Sure it has a couple of dodgy areas, but I lived in Sodermalm and Kungsholmen and never felt unsafe around those, I move

CS concept still lives on in communities like Trustroots, it wasn't beaten by AirBnB, it killed itself after adding membership fees, prior to that they served different, even if slightly overlapping, groups.

I liked internet history, technology and security: https://www.coursera.org/learn/internet-history It doesn't get very deep in terms of knowledge of networks, TCP/IP stack etc, it's a very lightweight co

There's good and bad in this. It sucks that we depend on Facebook/Instagram and others to get information about a local business like a restaurant we want to visit. But years ago if you wanted information about a restaurant on the

I am Brazilian(and a major football/Pelé fan), so heavily biased here. And I don't see the competitiveness of leagues/or time holding up as an argument. Pelé dominated his competition for a long time, he won national and cont

I've seen it happen at varying levels: Carrefour supermarket opened in my block next to a decades old famously local bakery/grocery store and undercut their prices by more than half, with a focus on infrastructure, quality and ser

I interviewed for Baremetrics a while ago and a major reason for this was because I am a fan of Josh and its openness culture. Ended up not following through the process as I got a job offer in the mean time. I enjoyed even my first impress

She used the expression 'nivelar por baixo', something like hiring by the lowest common denominator, it sort of implies that most underrepresented minorities would be candidates below the bar for the company. She did mention they

Same here, grew up and started working in Brazil. Terrible pay, shitty vacation policy(30 days running after one year, including weekends), often expected to arrive early and do overtime, bosses can be very passive-aggressive if you don&#x2

I was also invested heavily and still am a little bit even if my usage is decreasing. Wow I loved instagram, first the filters that made people try to be artsy managing to distract people from the fact that early phone cameras had terrible

In Brazil they would vary wildly so that's where my nostalgia comes from, after the WC in 2014 pretty much all of them were standardised to 105x68

And maybe not so relevant these days because most pitches are standard size, but years ago football pitches could vary in size, 90-120m in length, and 45-90m in width, maybe in the past even more, I remember some quoting some pitches as lon

I share this opinion, however teams I've worked with are fond of squashing and drop words like "cleaner" or "more maintainable" without having proper evidence and I usually can't convince people to avoid this p

I write detailed commit messages for every single commit I make(even though commits would be squashed on merges), I write detailed PR descriptions that included before/after screenshots in multiple resolutions whenever relevant. Never

This seems very common in JS land, I once saw a talk in a conf which seemed very basic, later on I stumbled onto a tweet about how the speaker often submits abstracts to CFPs often not knowing much(or at all) about the subject, which serves

When I first started my job in Stockholm there was a printout of this tiger logo with the saying that 10-12 were quiet hours, I knew about the saying but I didn't know about the history behind it, quite interesting!

I use Toby as a Chrome extension and new tab page: http://www.gettoby.com/ I find it has some tiny glitches with drag and dropping to rearrange, but otherwise it's free and works pretty well.

Very cliché, but reminds me a lot of Simon Sinek's famous TED talk about "Start with the why", Facebook was driven by its mission, Google was driven by market share. OTOH same can't be said about Snap vs Facebook, Facebo

Having stayed in 40+ hostels, it can get tiring very quickly, at first it's easy to be impressed at seeing so many different people in one location, but eventually I started feeling like everyone was the same, with the exception of som

It's a good investment for the company, if the interviewer can red flag a candidate who is blatantly lying on his resumé because the candidate would assume no one would know said technology, it would save a lot of money from cutting ti

Well they are doing that, doesn't mean it's because of competition, maybe it was just for the talent and keeping the app up isn't worth their time and they would rather the newly-acquired employees focus on something closer t

Well one of the selling points of Bitcoin is that this could be done in a decentralized way. I know decentralization is not a huge selling point for most people who just want to do things instantly from within their phones, I myself have li

I just tried out Mastodon quickly after reading this, and what a disaster. Icons are overused, there's no onboarding of the UI and it just throws you in with a bunch of icons, I wasn't sure what most of them did. I started at mast
