At any point of its existence and until its last hour, Skype was a better video call/chat product than Teams.

It's funny how eBay still did better stewardship of Skype than Microsoft.

Atop of that for some of us memories are less vivid to begin with. My visualizations are rather faint but looking at an old photo brings out the fabric of the moment around it, sometimes down to the smell and sounds.

OK, maybe that's a thing in Sweden after all, certainly not here. Just drove a whole bunch of speed bumps on the way to work today anywhere from 30km/h to 50. You'll never encounter a speed bump in a 70 km/h zone here.

I drive mainly in Norway but hadn't noticed any difference in Sweden or Denmark. If you drive the posted speed here you can count that your wheels won't be knocked off. If you have to reduce speed (say around schools or near poor

While I couldn't find an explicit declaration of this in the linked article, the tunnel system likely has something on the level of an SBC (think raspberry pi) rather than a microcontroller. I'm the author of that article. It ru

Thanks mate, I tested plenty in Belarus :)

If it's the posted speed that's exactly how the bumps are designed. You aren't supposed to brake.

Properly built speed bumps are most comfortable to traverse at posted speed, but are very well felt when you're speeding. In my experience they build them well in Northern Europe, less so in Eastern.

Parachute deployment was possibly gasodynamic rather than electronically controlled. In which case there's a broad similarity on reentry in Earth atmosphere which could trigger the release.

Come on, coding is universally at a premium compared to other trades. Naturally you wouldn't have a FAANG salary at an outsourcing farm overseas but it'll certainly provide you with comfortable living by local standards.

First if you want me to continue in this tone you set here do let me know. But you'll ultimately come to regret it. Second I have friends and product manufacturing in the Baltics, so my opinion is anything but wishful. One thing I can

At first I was a bit skeptical, having once written a blog post along the same idea as someone else did entirely independently. However after comparing the lede in both here uh, I have to say it is suspiciously similar.

There was no threat of losing Sevalstopol, which was leased until 2049 in non-aligned and then substantially pro-Russian Ukraine. You build your whole chain of reasoning on a faulty premise.

This is a pointless conversation. I could turn around and accuse you of being overconfident just as well, especially in the days when Germany and France feel it prudent to covnert automobile plants to tank manufacturing. I naturally hope th
