The brain is a strange thing. Perception and experience is very difficult to wrap one's head around. I have fainted several times, for different reasons. Often in medical settings but also in other settings. Often when I wake up I am

I nowadays only carry my phone and my AirPods. That’s it. No wallet, no keys. I don’t need it.

Forgive my ignorance, but what kinds of problems are constraint solving good for? Can I specify a list of statements, constraints, prioritisations and the have it solve it for the best possible solution? Is that it? If so, I need it to figu

Ok. I’m a novice in this. But isn’t time relative, and also affected by gravity and velocities? When we talk about the age of the universe, from which perspective are we considering it?

Been running OPNsense for about four years now, without much hiccups. It’s been more or less a set and forget system to me. I’ve been running on a small Protectli box and mainly using it for normal firewall stuff, Snort and as a Wireguard s

Shoes at left at the door, you wash your hands whenever you come in from being outside, or somewhere else, and no clothes that have been outside, in or on the beds. That’s what I teach my kids.

I spent years examining (also together with my psychologist) the question: “People always tell you to follow your dream”. But often following one’s dream comes at a cost, or at least comes with some risk. Yet, the advice to “follow your dre

The problem, in my opinion, is that many companies tries to do work the same way that they would do it in office, when working remote. I don’t think that work. The way of working need to change, the way people communicate, how they measure

Interesting. My dad developed schizophrenia in his twenties and had been smoking a lot of marijuana. I have always wondered if the smoking triggers something in him. I will always wonder.

I suffered burn out about 15 years ago. If you would have asked me back then, if I was feeling stress or was nearing burn out, I would have said no, not a chance. I was feeling great. If you however would have me take one of those self asse

This is cool, but it’s so overwhelming it’s hard to grasp. I think it would benefit from from like a scroll bar or something to get a sense of the progress (or lack thereof) while scrolling

The application that we are working on uses thousands of platform threads today (split over a handful of applicationservers). It’s a humongous banking system. I have been working on performance related improvements for years. I am now curio

Every time something show up about anything related to Java, the discussions turn to this flame war about what language are better or worse than Java. Why can’t we just discuss the article at hand? In this case, I’d love to hear more from e

It’s not hard to find people who want to write Java. I do it all the time. We have been hiring and writing Java code for fifteen years and have not seen a decline in the interest.

What? Is this really a problem in Sweden, or is it a problem in Stockholm? (Sure, I know some places like Lund has great inflow of high income earners, very little housing, driving prices, but that’s not the norm). Stockholm has even tradit
