Interesting to try 140.something is what I'm guessing. Edit: Ah wait cube root. That is the square root I just tried. 26.something is what my mental calculations gave me. I thought it was going to be 27. Turns out it is. I made an erro

Maybe work in some field that isn't software. In retail part timers are more accepted for instance. Where I am companies typically expect 40 hours if you are a man so unless you're a woman you are out of luck. Even then you might

Great so now we can be sure some hacker working at an intelligence agency or criminal syndicate reads this and now knows how to hack DigiD, which is basically the Dutch government's SSO. After you get in you can do all kinds of things

Of course it's cool that people can use solar in these kinds of environments like Afghanistan or now Lebanon, but at the same time I wonder: why do they pay so called anthropologists big bucks to live in upscale neighborhoods and gawk

Decreasing weight gain heavily correlates to staying healthy. It's a reasonable enough proxy that people start to use it interchangably.

I'm working on a video game. It's pretty hobbyist but maybe it will teach a couple of mates of mine who can't program yet a little. They could use it.

Being able to ship code yourself is a requirement for getting to junior level at most places. It's much easier than working on an existing codebase as part of a team

As a Dutch: never heard of it until very coincidentally earlier today. We decided to spend New Year's in Bremen (beautiful old center btw) so we looked up German new year's traditions online. Apparently the Germans like to eat on

Look all these influencers do is get advertising revenue from their content. Which might be easy enough for them. They don't own a real economy type business.

I'm sorry but how is this helpful? Even if you're actively employed that's a tough cost-benefit decision.

Well it also doesn't help that European startup founders are in my experience almost exclusively arrogant self righteous pricks whose only bit of knowledge is ayn rand novels and expect serious results yesterday on a legacy codebase. I

Most seniors are already replaceable by a bunch of juniors and a friendly scripting language, an internet search engine and now maybe with the help of copilot and chatgpt as well. Thinking you're not replaceable because you are because

I contributed to the software for a new environmental regulation that makes flights more expensive. Every person flying from my country is affected. I am still wondering whether the environmental gains weigh up to the amount of young people

For one thing let me say I'm glad she was sentenced. She took too much risk with the most precious things we have: our lives. However, I think there are a lot more in silicon valley et cetera who would be guilty of similar things she d

The imperative paradigm. Because most or all of my code is imperative. Of course most of my code is also object oriented but it's more of an add-on and in practice classes function more like modules. I don't think much about inher

Well don't buy a Samsung then. Sometimes things are that simple. They're pretty well known for bloatware and why would tv be any different? I have a Phillips (not really Phillips but some vague company licensed their brand), basic

I'm not sure I have ever understood the Magnus hype. This whole thing... It makes me certain he did not deserve it. Unless he's proven right somehow... But generally as a sportsman it's not up to you to play referee. Maybe th
