I'd extend this to regular vacations too. I've worked a lot in both Europe and the USA. In Europe everyone had to know other people's knowledge as people were regularly out of the office. In the US it was easier to rely on so

Do German households even have smart meters? To me this is the most important thing in a renewable world. I'd imagine the wholesale market electricity was free but consumers pay a fixed charge that doesn't change even on windy day

Most people here don't like having a MS account, but is it really so terrible? When I log in each day I'll use my AWS account, 2 or 3 google accounts, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Slack. You can't use a phone or a tablet withou

Cloud is a poor metaphor now. Its really a messy bunch of constellations where some people think they can see a pretty picture, most people just see random dots.

Not luxury apartments. Projects. In the 50s and 60s NYC built loads of massive housing projects for the poorest people on welfare. This is something that is needed in California. Most of the homeless can't afford fancy new builds, the

Does anyone know of a 2G/3G cell network in the US? Its would be cheaper and I know I avoid my phone a lot when it reverts to 3G when I run out of 4G data. I still want email, uber etc though.

Wow I always thought this was a gimmick that no one used, I'll have to evaluate. even 5% doesn't sound right to me (of course the headline is an estimate). > Apple Pay accounts for about 5% of global card transactions and is on

That sounds great but if I was mailed postmortem docs every day I'd soon start forwarding them to spam folder. Do you know how many people go through them?

Gnu C++ compiler was around but wasn't that good, it produced slow binaries and was slow with new features eg didn't have templates for a long time. Usually you had to use the compiler that came with your flavor of Unix which was

Eiffel was always great, the biggest problem as I remember it was that the compiler was very expensive, like a few thousand dollars a license. Meanwhile C++ was much cheaper (and easy to pirate) and Java was free. You can see the resulting

I tried to encourage our team to use notebooks, however everyone prefers using PyCharm and git for sharing code. We dont have much visualization, which might be the reason, but I was surprised just how many people just hated it.

I could be ADHD, I hear a lot of stories about people diagnosed as adults. Surely everyone has trouble getting motivated for boring tasks. Surely everyone would benefit from stimulants though? I'm not sure how to tell the difference.

It seems a lot of people have used emacs for years and love it. I never saw the point of learning as it seemed cryptic. In 2020 is it worth putting the effort to learn now? I figure with vim and IDEs I dont really need it.

At least Python3 brings an improvement. I still can't think of a good reason I should spend any time trying to figure out IPv6. Maybe my external router has to think about it, but that is about it. Edit: If you down vote me please say

You're kidding right $150k puts you in the 88th percentile in the US households. A couple earning that each would make them in the top 3%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United...
