I'm not sure how much it varies country to country - I'm in Eastern Europe myself (lower labor costs, higher import / taxes etc) but my trusty toyota corolla was bought for about $3000 with no "friend discounts", ju

“stomp” is a bit exaggerated... Democracies are usually more economically efficient, whinch in the long run means more productive power for tech progress or weapons/munitions manufacture. But the catch is “the long run” there is some h

I can simpathise with your desires and calculations - I’ve been there myself. While the country I’ve lived in (part of the USSR) was not that bad, back when the change was happening it really felt like the only rational decision was to flee

Well thats a bit unfair. English is very popular among the young people in bulgaria, since it was a required subject in most schools, starting from the 90s, so everyone below age 30-40 knows at least some english, most understand it quite w

Did you read the whole letter? It specifically answers how spending money on ambitious scientific and extploretory ventures leads to a lot of us inventing different stuff. The device you’re posting this comment was made with tech that was d

Hopefully there are talanted creators that produce some new engaging media on those topics. I’m personally a big fan of the “Extra History” youtube channel that has quite a lot of those inspiring little nuggets of history that people seem t

These days, with powerful tools like jira/github/gitlab you can do the update and ask for help in a much more convenient text format, easily searchable and referencable. And you can do that all day every day, if your team is good

Hah I get where you’re going with this example, but shopping carts in particular do want to keep the line in the cart as “local state” because the desired behaviour is that once a customer has added something to his cart, within a reasonabl

I think the same way,however there was one city I did enjoy navigating as a pedestrian, and it was a grid layout - Barcelona. I think its because the grid is just for the cars, as a pedestrian you can walk “in between” the grid parallels an

It was more like swimming in deep waters - sometimes you get to an area with a big enough opening that you get satellite lock in, get your bearings and can once again “dive”. But not using gps at all was a lot more fun though

Once I was travelling through Morocco and the general advice I got from other turists even before the trip was “don’t trust the gps”. It turned out the medinas (old towns) themselves were so densly packed, that you could not see much of the

Its hard to overstate how big of a change just 2 degrees can actually make. I remember that xkcd did several really nice graphs showing the scope of it all, in eli5 language https://xkcd.com/1379/ https://xk

Thats great and all, but a lot of those things had their problems and subsequent tools were created to fix them. - FTP - deploys where one or two files would silently “not deploy” and since there are no automated testing, or error logging,

Wow amazing! A point of pride for bulgarians is that one of our folk songs ended up on the gold record onboard Voyager 1 [1]. I knew about japanese groups singing bulgarian folk songs but this amarican one is new to me, thanks for the link.

The sad thing is that if you were the sort of person that would click on that ad - you’d probably be gullible enough to pay for whats sitting on the end of that link. So making it obnoxious is actually giving the advertisers a useful filter

Hah, once we needed some extra wiring for some lights at our booth, the electrician came to have a look and said “sorry I’m not insured to add wires” and just left. And nobody wanted to do the job on such a short notice. Luckily no one said
