I'm just somewhere in the middle doing engineering management, so I'm already talking a lot to people in meetings, but I really enjoy doing it from home. Much easier to do something on the side or in between of all the none work r

I can mostly speak for German. It seems to mix them all into one general language. But there are a lot of local differences between north and south of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. And it’s not just dialect, but really different words t

I do work for a US company from outside the US and if I can't identify the people I'm talking to I have to hang up. We have yearly training on the importance of not sharing internals if not authorized. In that case I'd ask th

Here in Europe we aren't even allowed to enable it. Not even as a beta tester.

All of that is happening in the EU. Don't you just have the warranty were they either fix it (which they don't) or exchange with a new car that doesn't have the issue or you return the car and get the money back. After all th

But that latitude and longitude might still be the middle of some city or country and not an exact location. It's not really clear how close it is.

Just check https://ipinfo.io/ to see how close your IP points to your location. For most targeted content the city is good enough. And honestly if I'm one of 1 million people it's ok.

We might not be the same. Every time someone asks for tracking anything I complain and question a lot. People hate me, but if there is no real use case for storing all information we can get I will veto as much as I can. The IT folks workin

Oh yeah using that since I had my Powerbook. Must be 20 years. So happy that the fork exists and keeps it running.

I'm learning math with my kid and it's not different to what I learned. Can still solve everything quickly. On the other hand there are those posts on social media mixing multiplication and division and telling you there is only o

The cost of living thing is debunked very quickly, but I think it's missing some aspects. I'm not in UK, but just on Europe main land, but I can easily pay for my flat, don't need a car for anything, while still living pretty

I even more so would need a switch for anything on my screen, not just websites, including screen sharing. It's fine for anyone having a preference, but I like light-mode and being in a well-lit environment for work, if not even outsid

At least on iOS there is beside the normal dark mode also some kind of simulated dark mode that inverts everything that's still light, expect images. There same is not available for people preferring light mode.

Beside it not being true for paper it's also not true for electronic screens. Before a computer with CRT most of us had some simpler screens on calculators or other devices that were LCDs. And they are blackish on some lighter gray or

My kid has a really hard time learning from me. It's resistance and stress for both of us. After all my role is to be a parent so naturally I'm a friend and a foe. Much more than a teacher. But I also don't have a big problem

This so reminds me of the command line I've added to a little fun tool I wrote in Borland C ~25 years ago. It was a strobe light using your monitor and I wanted something to fine tune the timings and color so I sat down a whole afterno

There is mostly one thing I still remember about tube TV and one reason why I', so happy they are gone. It's the high pitch noise they make. Even now over 40 I'm still able to hear it. Can't imagine how it must be if eve

In HTML if you use <input type="email"> you basically get a regex validation. While it not fully follows the RFC it's a good middle ground. And it gives you an email that you can use on the internet (RFC obviously has s

Back then it was just small enough for my ISDN modem. And there are even more images for the headers. But it's also nicely falling back to plain colored backgrounds so the issue of loading the images is not so big. Now I haven't

Anything after 8.0 is not EOL. Security support for 8.1 is still provided by PHP itself until end 2025.

If needed you can get LTS from Zend. They still offer security fixes for 7.2 until end of 2026 and 8.3 is supported until end of 2029. But that's just if upgrading every second or third year is too expensive to you.

array_search() has the same needle, haystack order as in_array() or array_key_exists(). array_find() has a callback and takes the same order as array_walk() or array_filter(). It's just array_map() that's different, but that&#x2

The dynamic form is really not needed very often. Should it ever become a problem triggering a loop you can just set and get from a private property with a different name. But then also 90% of getters and setters are really simple so it wil

It's much easier if you also cycle or just walk. People in cars in a city is pretty weird, we just got way too much used to it.

by nedt 2y ago
That's also the case in other places. The reason is easy. Cycle paths are not build for cyclist, but to them away from the main street and not be an "obstacle" to cars.

Mastodon has never really risen. Bluesky has also users that aren't so technical and therefore attracts a lot more others. Good News is that they are more clients being created that can talk to Mastodon, Bluesky, but will also include
