You don't necessarily want to use that angle on Finland... the gas tank is pretty large and gas is highly taxed, both figuratively and literally. In addition to the relatively small salaries, the cost of living is pretty high in the ca

Finnish public healthcare does what any other public healthcare does: they will prioritize because there's infinite demand for services and limited resources, and they can't quicksort their customers by purchasing power. So, if yo

This minor observation caught my eye, very well articulated: "There are many criticisms of OOP456789 but my general criticism is that by placing emphasis on trying to solve problem in the type system, it shifts focus from the data str

But computers are cooler than ever. I can roll my own object detection algorithm to tell me if my dog is eating my shoes while I'm out. You can do so much cool stuff with them. On the other hand, if you remove enough limits from art

Wouldn't it make more sense to equip the ship with vertical axis wind turbines that either drive a propeller or a generator which drives an azipod? Doesn't matter which way the wind blows you can still generate energy. Less effici

That's a problem for law enforcement and MOT inspections. Young people notoriously tune scooters and minicars already, there's absolutely no news there. Penalties will take care of most of the tuners. For exampple, if you get caug

Instead of minicars or scooters, the absolutely safest option would be to use regular small cars that are re-registered with a speed limiter. Used small cars are cheap and they come with all the safety features that have been around and man

supermarket has never been more than 2 miles away - certainly not a 20 minute drive and it's even within biking distance I'd consider that far, far away. My walk to the nearest train station is about one mile, takes about 15 min

Most "arguments" in a relationship aren't about the actionable issue at hand. Those issues usually aren't that big they couldn't be calmly discussed if only they didn't reflect on and resonate with larger thing

Yes it was. I don't really see the difference anymore, on any practical level. However, Chrome has been removing useful features and not fixing usability bugs while just being more and more invasive, privacy-wise. I jumped from Firefox

This is a classical case of regulating at the completely wrong level. Forget low beams and high beams. All that needs to be regulated is that the headlights can't point to other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians at a too great intensit

Unfortunately those fancy LED setups are a headache for the rest of us drivers sharing the roads with those models, because they're also bright as hell from the factory. They're bright but they're not pointing to your eyes

Interestingly, while you can't be donated money in Finland people can certainly and rather freely give gifts to another person. It's even tax-free as long as gifts from one person remain under 4000€ for any consecutive three years

Deaths can lie too. What does it take for a death to be labelled as covid-19 death? That the person who died was merely tested positive, or do they do autopsies for all those who tested positive? How about covid-19 deaths that aren't c

I wonder about the temperature settings. I have manual dials but I basically set them to 21C for winter and 19C for summer. Other than that, I don't readily touch the hvac panel at all: I could certainly do those rare adjustments over

I can see this in my car. If the engine isn't warmed up, pulling into traffic often meant it would stall right in the middle of the lane I'm trying to cross, leaving me vulnerable to being rammed. Sounds like your car is broken

This question must be for stage II; so far I can't think of a reason I'd like to become famous in the first place...

Funny, I've never expected or needed dict to be ordered. I've known about collections.OrderedDict but never really found much use for it. A dictionary is a hashtable and the order generally isn't important for typical uses of

Yet, I think it's really hard to change what has stuck. The gains have to be enormous to warrant the hassle of trying to keep publishing in and supporting a new image format until it just works for everyone. The reason we have PNG and

I know people who have left Facebook and then much later come back, setting up a new account with new credentials and Facebook could still begin to suggest old friends and interests.

Work and hobby-wise, being noob is pretty much my life so far. On the rare occasions where I first think I know everything I do begin to worry as things I tend to work with rarely are that simple, really. Same with people at work. It's

Brilliant! For example, something like 180.7 could then be understood by the kernel to "userland wants to call 70% open and 30% unlink" in one go!

These are all judgement calls. Sometimes it's good to refactor to avoid duplication, sometimes it isn't. Only experience gives some hints at which way to go each time. If unsure, I tend to at least break down these cases down by w

This is completely off-topic but... The article in question gave an accidental glimpse of a better world or, well, better web. The cookie and data protection dialog asks the usual question. The choices are to agree and continue, or "De
