Yes. And I think the article is also good advice for coaches / consultants. When I come to a new team, I always try to find out a lot of things during the coffee breaks. But the approach from the article is more structured. So, I guess

Hmm. I own a Surface Pro 4 too, and I have a completely different experience. I love it and use it very often. It already almost replaced my "big" Lenovo laptop as my working machine. Doing everything on the Surface Pro that I a

When I was young, I sometimes got birthday telegrams from my uncle. I loved them - only a single sentence in all caps. So I am feeling a little bit nostalgic right now. But, of course, I would not want that world back - where you had to pay

Absolutely. So, what I started to do in my java code: Before dereferncing anything for the first time, i add assert foo != null : "foo must not be null - remember to wrap optional data in Optional<T>" Just make su

I suppose that's something every Java programmer should know: How types are automatically converted during "arithmetic" operations. There are some subtleties (like byte+short => int), but it's not too much to remember

Totally off-topic, except for the EEPROM: A colleague once told me about a bug in it's audi where it would write the current volume of the radio to an EEPROM after every volume change. So, after a few years, the car stopped remembering

The problem is: They cannot save the world if they crash the company into a wall. I am not saying that they will, and I hope they will not. But since a few weeks, I do not completely rule out the possibility anymore. Because if only some of

Magna has electric trucks as a short-range shuttle between factories. They charge during loading/unloading. So it certainly seems doable, at least for short-range transportation. https://investinaustria.at/en/news&

You don't have to solve all edge cases for a feature to be useful. At least not all the time. I, am not too unhappy with the behaviour of C/C++/Java/... - That the block comment will end at the first occurence of "

"so you can trade more widely" I'm still curious if this will work exactly like the optimists think it will. Only time will tell, but it will depend a lot on the final agreement between the EU and the UK. Because if there is

I don't recall where I read it, but I recall reading an article some time ago saying there were different opinions by experts about whether the process could be stopped. Because Article 50 simply does not mention stopping the process

OK, you're right. What I meant with "Hard Brexit" is no deal or a deal that does not include any significant free trade agreement.

Well, I have no doubt that the EU, the UK and most companies can survive this thing. It's still a waste of money...

IIRC, the EU already hinted that they would allow stopping the Brexit-Process, even though this should be impossible according to Article 50. And they also said they would fast-track an application of the UK, if they applied for membership

Well, not only the nation will be "punished" (and I don't think that punishing the UK for wanting to leave would be right). This article is how the banks suffer, most of them are probably not from the UK. Not as a punishment,

This is the third or fourth article about the cost of Brexit I read this week. Another interesting one was how ridiculously expensive border control and customs could become There's still almost two years of negotiations ahead, but rig

And if you believe Elon Musk's own words, it's significantly easier ;) Joking aside - Yes, German car makers are behind on electric vehicles, but all (except mercedes now) have one. They are late, they probably are at a disadvanta

A while ago, I tried to configure an electric B, just for fun. Not that I was trying to buy one, because I don't have a permanent parking lot where I would mount the charger right now... There were only two things that would really put

IANAL, but I guess license one would still not be free software, and might still be incompatible with, say, the GPLv3. So you might still prevent non-military individuals from using your code.
52.
by struppi 9y ago
I guess that would become harder the longer the license gets. Say you wanted to add a clause to the apache license (AL2) or GPLv3 - Then you would also have to make sure that your new clause does not contradict anything in the rest of the l

I think your "by default" is a bit misleading here. This is one paper, comparing pesticides for one pest in one crop. But I guess you are right - Organic is not always better. But, AFAIK, at least here in Austria, buying organic w

Yes. If you are a US citizen. If you are not, this can mean waiting for the next pane back in handcuffs and being banned from entering the US for life.

"Are you using travel mode?" "No" You just lied to someone at border control. Which is an offense.
