I hope StackOverflow can continue to be a great source for accurate information, it was hard to find good quality information before they started. Two things I'd wish I had done: 1. Mine a lot of bitcoins back when it was just starting

Don't have any facts to back the assumption up, but I'd agree that alcohol is harder on the body. Apart from the effects on the brain, there is also the weight issue when drinking both beer and wine. It's amazing to me how mu

On the more humorous side they could have implemented an age check similar to the one from Leisure Suit Larry. Although the questions were a lot harder back in 1991 when the Internet was not at your disposal. http://www.classicga

It's unclear if Do Not Track will be useful for cookie consent, certainly it will take a lot of time. Here is an article from 2018 about it. https://www.w3.org/blog/2018/06/do-not-track-and-the-gdpr/

I think it's fair to say that server costs and global reach of Wikipedia is up, and factor in some ambitious goals the current expenditure is not too unreasonable. Money is a funny thing, in Denmark about $320 million is spent on Covid

It certainly seems very hard for a lot of people in countries with high vaccination percentage to cope with Corona being "just another disease" at this point. My hope is that all the laws and restrictions will be rolled back as we

Indeed. Just had a look at the Future milestone for PowerShell and with 272 open issues, it's not likely to see PowerShell 7 as default anytime soon. One of the open issues from 2019 about ease of install would be great to have fixed:

Quite right, though it's likely that Microsoft will add Windows Terminal to Windows in a future release.

It's great to see Windows Terminal become integrated into Windows. It would be equally great if Microsoft could tell us where and when PowerShell 7 will become the default PowerShell in Windows.

I think you're very much on point on the number services a customer signs up for. In that light it makes perfect sense for Amazon to enhance their offering, as they are third or fourth in streaming. There never seems to be something to

Same here, sure there are downsides as mentioned above, but the interaction creates a strong human connection that is just not there when working remotely. In a team where one member might only be present in the office 1 or 2 days a week, i

I think a sane way of seeing it is that the variant was "first discovered in". So even though this variant was discovered in India, it has now caused Germany to quarantine travellers from the UK over the Covid Indian variant. htt

There certainly is a place where working extremely hard pays off, John Carmack is an example of this, though he was a founder at the time. So i wholly agree that the old adage "work smarter, not harder" applies here. The fool is m

In Denmark the cost of testing for Covid amounts to 60.000.000 DKK daily, that is about 8M euros. If that money was a gift to all 18 year olds in Denmark, each would receive 120 euros a day. The testing effort will go on at least until Augu

Actually Bluetooth has been more reliable than Wifi in getting sound on all channels. I'd say it's worth the extra $500, you get two extra rear channels, built-in room correction (finally) and a Night Mode made for late night movi
