Ableton Live digital audio workstation, is a good example in my opinion. As with many professional tools, there is a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes very productive. There are many nested collapsible sectio

While I see the utility of a phone in places where children can't move around independently for one reason or another, I reckon that in Finland, most children walk or cycle to and from school on their own starting in like first grade.

In Switzerland, it is 16 for beer and wine, and 18 for spirits (or drinks that contain spirits, like "alcopops", even if they have a low ABV). I think Austria and Germany are the same.

Where I grew up in Switzerland, I'd say the most authentic subcultures were in the secondary cities. A couple of tens of thousands of people in population. Big enough to have minority communities, but still small enough to not get mai

For me, the size of the seat area is probably the biggest nuisance on a long flight. I'm not super tall, but above average and depending on my body position, either my knees or shins are always lightly pressed against some hard plastic

I agree, and I would also add that the great thing about sketchy hand-drawing is that it keeps people focused in discussions, making it clearer what they should be judging. As soon as you have something that looks remotely like the real thi

Don't know if it is still used much. There is SecureDrop to facilitate communication between investigative journalists and sources/whistleblowsers via Tor that was at some point deployed by several prominent news organizations. h

I stopped reading news around 2012, while working at a large newspaper in Switzerland. Or maybe better put, replaced it with slower forms of information. Instead of doom scrolling news sites and social media for things that happen right now

I had a couple of such sessions as part of accessibility certification when rebuilding a largish government website years back. It's definitely worth it for understanding the why of the accessibility recommendations, rather than just

I use the Firefox screenshot tool quite a lot, mostly because it automatically snaps the region to DOM elements. This makes it less fiddly to take cleanly cropped screenshots of sections, especially if they don't entirely fit on the sc

For me, it’s realizing that I can’t achieve mastery in even a fraction of the things I’m interested in. However, I don’t need a very high skill level for many activities to be enjoyable and/or useful to me. I feel you just need a coupl

As someone who has done the informatics apprenticeship when I was 16, I don't think it is too early. I don't know many people that significantly changed their minds on what they want to do between 16-20. Only after several years o

Instant messaging apps don't need notifications either. It upsets some people at first, but it is for the most part perfectly fine to just check and respond messages in your own preferred frequency.

Screenshots also help a lot when the tutorial is not in your native language. When I learned Photoshop as a teenager, my UI was in German, but most of the good tutorials were in English. The screenshots really made it easier to locate thing

I do like the planning poker for the same reason. I just find that people use story points overly granular. E.g. when using Fibonacci series, what is the point spending time discussing the minute difference between 1,2 and 3 points. What I

They might be doing that in some countries. Last week I heard from a friend working at a WeWork in Bogotá, that they don’t think it will affect them, because the location is run by Softbank using the WeWork brand. Don’t know if that is true

The quote from the article says "more than 1.5 million people have used it and it is helping build nearly half of Copilot users’ code" Not a native speaker, but to me this sounds much more ambiguous than up to 50% of code is produ

I liked vertical tabs on my main monitor where there is plenty of space. But on the laptop, especially with using split screen i got too crowded. I have since made the tabs completely invisible and just navigate trough them with the Vimium

From the ones I know and myself, it more about where they want to life. If I would be living in the suburbs with a long commute, I'd definitely insist on working remote only. But since we are living around 10-20 minutes from the office

I wouldn't mind more humor on "serious" blogs/websites all year round if they have the writers who can do it well. But not everybody has to do it. All these traditions to do something on a specific date often feel a bit

I don't know about trends, but might also have something to do with non-native English speakers. In at least some other languages clearly distinguishing between to give and to gift is very common.
