Not accurate for Sweden either. Pricing in Stockholm region last weeks was 1/2 to 1/3 of what's in the list.

This is overly simplified. A few aspects come to mind that have huge effects, in orders of magnitude: * Price differences during day/week/seasons. Cold day? Electricity can be 2-3x higher than the day before. Lots of sun/wind

"Ruminating" is not all bad. The mind works on things and often the best solution to personal or professional problems come to me after I've let my mind work on it. Letting it run freely. Forcefully sulpressing it always seem

How would you know a priori that doing it is better than what you could otherwise do with your life? Spending time to build meaningful relations with people around you could be a better use of time. With your spouse or kids, for example. I&

And he presents all this stuff with humility. Many people that present are just showing off and are pretty much full of themselves. I suppose they need the ego boost, who knows. But Andrej could be the nice guy next door in the dorm who is

Work != presence. In a role in which you don't have to sit in front of a computer, 3h presence could mean 8+ hours of work. I typically start working when I step into the shower in the morning. (I have a typical coder job.) Thinking ab

Or it could be that you had a brilliant idea for the rest of the sentence, but the strict rule prevents you from writing it down, and next day you can't remember it and chase it all day and still be unsatisfied in the end. Either becau

That could backfire. Maybe they were in the middle of something hard that's difficult to pick up from. To use the metaphor, perhaps you would be forcing them to park uphill.

by yuuuuyu 4y ago
Right. Or you try to break it down into subproblems which may be easier to solve. And those are then candidates for the downhill parking on-ramp for next day.

In C, a variable has traditionally been a box (memory location) that you put things into. Possibly a box that can only contain pointers to other boxes. That mental model breaks down slightly with references that modern C++ prefers, but stil

Agreed. Careful what you wish for. All those enthusiasts out their enjoying hacking their vehicles (in the traditional meaning of the term) would not like crypto and HSMs on that bus. It's like in the old days when internet traffic was

I'm wondering where the vegans are. They bother about conciousnesses down to fruitfly size. Don't harm any sentient animal. I can and do respect that. But shouldn't they be bothered by how we are treating artificially created

The risk with this is that you keep procrastinating away before getting going again. It's the anticipated pain of frustration that prevents you from starting. Not so much if your idle time generated a solution to the problem. But if it

Excellent advice, just like the article as well.

Possible. But I'd have expected that at least a conversation take place. Involving the founder. Instead of having him lrarn about the decision publicly when it's too late.

Except for the vast number of books/tutorials of the type "X for Y programmers" with Y often being C. (Or Java or Python or C++.) And X being pretty much anything under the sun.
