Lots of C++, but also Erlang and other languages depending on the product (and depending on which part of the product).

I think the Polestar 3 will be manufactured in the US though.

As far as I know, quite Swedish. Lots of shared development with Volvo which has lots of development as well as manufacturing in Sweden, but I don’t think the Polestars are assembled in Sweden.

Volvo back then wasn’t just Volvo cars (which Geely bought) but also what is now Volvo Group (trucks, buses, etc).

I mentioned The Ray Tracer Challenge in a comment below, and it seems quite popular so I’ll submit it here as well. http://raytracerchallenge.com/ It’s not really for beginners though, but maybe possible to start it togethe

That’s why I like The Ray Tracer Challenge. He gives you test scenarios and a little bit of pseudo code (sometimes). The actual implementation has to be done by the reader. http://raytracerchallenge.com/

If it’s high end hiking boots it can be worth changing soles if they are too worn. Probably not worth the price for lower priced shoes unless you really want to keep them. I have a pair of Swedish made Lundhags, and I think they charge 75$

I recognise myself in this (except that I don’t have a diagnosis or medication). However, for me it’s a certain kind of boredom that’s painful. I like reading, running, sitting and thinking, and similar activities which might not be very in

Polestar currently have production in China but will later also be produced at some Volvo factory in the US.

Yes. I agree about finding a good gym. Also be especially careful when sparring with other beginners who usually rely more on strength than technique. I have been injured twice while sparring with beginners(myself being a beginner as well).

I totally agree regarding bjj and live sparring. I do bjj, a bit of judo and also climbing. I think climbing is a bit similar in the way that you need almost constant focus, doing small adjustments and so on. For all these three (and simila

The technical university where I live has “Industrial design engineering” which sounds a bit like designing various “things”.

If they end up doing software they probably hang out here ;) The other ones, I have no idea.

I didn’t see much Erlang though when I was at Ericsson. It was mostly C++. But I heard some stuff was still done using Erlang.

I’m also into climbing :) Bouldering and top rope at the moment but thinking about taking a lead class next year. I mostly climb indoors but live in a region with great outdoor climbing as well so I might do more outdoor climbing in the fut

I listened to Body Count in the 90s and then rediscovered them a few years ago when their remake of Institutionalized was recommended to me by Spotify. The lyrics on that one are hilarious.

Maybe he’s too young now but many kids like climbing in general so soon you might be able to go climbing together :)

I feel the same, but also got lucky that my oldest son and I both like climbing. So even if he, as a typical teenager, wants to spend time with friends or simply wants to be left alone in his room we spend 2-3 evenings per week together at

Same here. Two beers or more (or 1-2 glasses of wine) affects my sleep and stomach in a bad way, especially as I have gotten older (40s). I started climbing with my son a few evenings a week and felt that even just a bit of wine for dinner

Sometimes, if it’s a large and complex code base, the difficult part can be knowing where to glue parts together, and how it relates with the rest of the functionality. So even if one has the aptitude to learn programming well, both patienc

I made that mistake when I started university. I managed quite well in high school without doing lots of exercises. Didn’t work quite as well later and I had to sit and really work through the exercises.
