Looks promising. After working with and evaluating many rich text editors I usually consider building one myself as a nightmare, due to the interaction complexity and browser differences. One thing that strikes me with this editor, similar

In general I agree with you regarding the lifetime, the exceptions are areas that goes through expanding housing prices. For example, good luck finding a bathroom in a central Stockholm flat that is more than 5 years old due to the housing

I guess they could point the suspicion to someone innocent, but I would be surprised if law enforcement didn't validate the DNA before sentencing a crime.

You are right. The UX for the Swedish tax filing is sub-optimal, the language is not simple and calculations are unnecessarily complex. The main reasons are that the tax form comes prefilled, most people don't have to do any adjustment

Had the same list as you, I was just happy it did not mention Messenger since that would be accessing truly private data. The data you listed is semi-public in my case.

I manage our devices at work but not my personal devices. If you have a lot of devices (think 10+) I guess it could be useful to keep them aligned. It could also be useful as training on how to centrally manage devices. But I would not reco

I actually don't understand why it is shortsighted. It's an extreme point of view, sure, but in a perfect world this would be the case every time you build something. On the opposite end of the spectrum you have to rewrite the ent

You can get a B/C grade massive oak tabletop quite cheap - bought mine for $100 in Sweden[1] that was 2 meter before I cut it. [1]: https://www.bauhaus.se/bankskiva-ek-b-c-2020x635x27mm-postfo...

I started most of my non-computer hobbies at 25. One piece of advice is to find something that you think might be fun or cool. Then stick to it for a while even if it's not that fun to start with. For example most sports are quite mise

Might be so statistically, but people do not experience statistics and build their perspective from it. Emotionally seeing someone running a red light or making up their own lane has a higher impact than someone speeding in a car lane. I th

Cyclists usually have a strong pride in commuting with bike and has a style (looking fast) that separates them from the rest of the population. Combine that with the number of conflict surfaces such as pedestrians walking in biking lanes, c

Another tip is to add mnemonics if possible. I wanted to learn Hiragana for fun, tried with flash cards and struggled for hours without progress (maybe got 25% right in the end). Then I tried with the app Dr Moku that has mnemonics, took li

Not taking deprecation in account when buying a car makes the calculation way off. It even applies when you own it the whole way from the factory to the junkyard. A rule of thumb that I use is that the value of the car halves every fourth y

To clarify, the general public outlash started after Trump and Brexit. I reacted back in 2012 to the fact that Obama's campaign bragged openly about doing same thing. Back then the problem statement was a bit newer to me, I guess I was
