I think by now the problem is more cultural than technical or juridical. I mean many countries have laws in place that would allow for picture removal. I'm really glad, that my teenage years where before social media and everyone walki

Not GP, but the point was that what he wrote should be an article/blog post instead of in a chain of tweets. It's not about the length or conciseness at all. That they also summarized it in one paragraph for the audience here on h

Either of which is fairly common in Europe and no recent trend. 4-5 weeks paid vacation, although not always easy to take in a single block. And many people work 80% independently of company having 4 day week or no.

Sure, but one of my most commonly used keyboard short cuts is the one that pops up a fuzzy search over all the available actions/settings. Whereas with the mouse i have to dig trough a ton of sub menus and often even have to google to

The difference might be that mental issues are identified and cared for much earlier, before people end up on the streets and things worsen more and more. Locking people up into wards is not the only option. Not at all an expert in this, bu

I recently discovered, that my parents still use teletext today. Because it is a quick, no nonsense, easily readable way to check some high level news or weather forecasts. And since it hasn't really changed in decades, they can just p

I don't disagree when looking at it in isolation. But my comment was specifically to Switzerland which has according to the department of statistics around 30 cases of robbery per year which basically never lead to physical harm. It is

Since as I understand you are expanding to LatAm, as someone having worked in Colombia for the last 5 years on b2b and b2c tech products for people on the low to mid side of the socio-economic spectrum, some top of mind thoughts. Hope it he

To clarify a bit. By law, a human life is the "good" of highest value above everything else. Just committing a crime does not exempt you from that principle. Wether self defense was justified is judged by whether the level of fo

Not a lawyer, but as far as I remember in Swiss law a criminals live is valued higher than your property. There would have to be an immediate threat for someones live for it to be even considered justified self defense. E.g. in a armed robb

It is very popular with smaller companies that already pay for gsuite where I am in Colombia. It is well integrated out of the box with the tools you are already using. In our case we use Meet for around 95% of day to day calls. Zoom for mo

Sure you heard and read about it, but I don't think at that age you fully realize of just how hard it is and how long 10 years can be. Personally, I didn't study anything related but was in music semi-professionally (more on the p

Not sure. All the people I know that make a living off of art, musicians, sound designers, illustrators, film makers, fashion designers, etc. have one thing in common: a 10+ year grind of barely scraping by, working ridiculous hours and mul

When I was learning Spanish I first tried a variety of apps and cds and at least for me none really worked. What did help, was basically creating my own handwritten handbook on how the language works, drills, usage examples, etc. Not just w

Maybe spend some time reading up on it. Libertarian socialism is the umbrella term for different anarchist schools of thoughts, it's not something I came up with. And spoiler alert, there is no one single "anarchism". So if y

Pretty much every anarchist I know proposes highly organized societies, far from chaos. Just organized differently than what people are used to. I wouldn’t necessarily mind, anarchism, or libertarian socialism to use a less loaded term, bei

In my opinion the difference should be whether something is the first generation of a product or an iteration. Basically somehow using the Lindy effect to determine how long it should be supported. E.g. if I had bought the very first genera

I think as a front end dev it is important to have blockers installed and toggle them during development/testing to make sure you don’t break something unintentionally either way.

I feel, these days making a web app look reasonably good is the easy part. Plenty of templates, color schemes, etc paid or free to pick from. The hard part is actually getting a good user experience. Which is just in part learning about and

I don’t think it is a straw man. They say “ remotely related to politics, advocacy, or society”, I can’t think of many things that are not remotely related to these or quickly can turn into them. So it does seem to be restricted to work an

I found the first 2 levels of c4 very useful to get a quick sense what the system consists of, what it interacts with and who the users are. Also because it is something non-tech people can understand and reason about. But for level 3, 4 it

I was a bit surprised to see zope.interfaces pop up these days. If you are not using the entire Zope Component Architecture I'm not sure how useful it has been since Python 3. Zope and things build on top of it (Plone CMS e.g.) was fai

For me those google hacks seem a bit of micro optimization. I use some and there are helpful, but more importantly are things like what sources are trustworthy, how to read error messages and stacktraces, being able to formulate your proble

I think it is a pretty neat idea. It is not a cable I want to add/remove often, so not having it coming up to the table, at least sounds nice on paper.
