You're right of course, I've been stuck on the M1 on a Sunday night and watch a train doing 100 mph blast past. There are good and bad parts on either side. Yes driving means you dont need to concentrate, but you're stuck on

> How far can you get to by train from Paris in 70 hours? NYC->LA is about the same as Paris->Moscow and that takes nearly 3 days as well. Paris Instanbul is similar distance which is a little quicker but still over 2 days.

I get that, I live with children in an apartment in a city. However most people dont want that, the trend to WFH means people are moving to smaller, quieter locations away from other people.

I used to think this too, now I live here the American system actually works pretty well. Railways are actually very busy with freight, which keeps it off the roads and freight doesn't mind pauses and running overnight. Lots of rural c

I uninstalled Instagram this week because of all the video. Its not what it was when i started using it. Seems crazy that Meta can ruin FB and Instagram the same way at the same time. Bye.

I had a 6p it was great but cheap construction. First battery wore out after 9 months, second one wasn't much longer, especially in the cold. Lots of other people had hardware problems, it was rare to see them after a few years.

My take is that so many sites are broken, maybe I shouldn't care either. The extra complexity of dealing with high availability is something that probably isn't worth it for my project. Spend more time on features instead.

Has anyone tried to replace NAS with a cloud service? If you have gig internet it should but I'm not sure if dropbox etc can keep up.

I think Wuhan market is a "wet" market rather than "live", so you can get prepared butchered meat.

Not much any more, but in the 90s and 2000s, having zero, or negative interest rates was a real peculiarity. People couldn't figure out how it could happen or why Japan couldn't fix it. Meanwhile 20 years later we've all been

There are a bunch of people that want to send cash to family in Cuba/Russia/Iran. Also Chinese people want to get foreign currency. I guess they are combinations of 1 & 2.

Totally I have a big reel of embarassing moments that gets replayed. Its great to figure out later that either people didn't remember, didn't care, or still laugh along with the situation rather than at me.

Hi I agree, and I myself never thought I was special amazing or everyone loved me. I did however think I was great at engineering and could write some great code. I think the point was that most people think they're an above average on

I often wonder if too much introspection via therapy or yourself is a bad thing. When you are young you are filled with ideas and drive and confidence. After introspection you realize you aren't special, you aren't as good as you

Often these 10% layoffs are an excuse to get rid of people that are overpaid, aren't performing or dont fit very well in the organization. Some companies do it every year.

I think the Baby Boomers slowly downsizing and dying is going to be an earthquake on house prices. I know lots of young families in apartments and small houses while their baby boomer parents have big suburban houses. Why not hang on to you

Thanks I didn't even know that was there, this will help me. It looks like its files only, not directories which is important to get accidentally deleted files.

BTW do you think twitch is best for this? I'm working with js for the first time and tools seem really slow and poor, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I figure looking at others would be great.

Developers in their 20s are definitely overpaid. Whether this will continue will be interesting to see. Currently I see so many people trained in other fields becoming developers I'm almost worried about the future of the economy. Soci

The best thing about Jetbrains IDEs is local file history - so you dont have to rely on git - you can still see file history and directory history to restore commits and deleted files. Saved me many times.
