That's good to know and terrible news. It looks like a different paywall than the one I see going directly to the NYT link, it let me view the article the first time and now simply…

My father did it when he was a child so he could "be like his brother" who was 1.5 year older and the favorite son of his mother (this brother was the first male son after a female…

Thanks for the link! When it is well done comedy often covers something more profound and summarizes it in an accessible and more memorable manner just like the video you are talki…

That's an extremely narrow view on what's technical debt. (imho)

My brain read the title as "Yet another technical debt article", I read it anyway and it really sounded like yet another of the same stuff, then I read the title back and decided t…

What an awesome time to be a shark!

Remembering that poor guy always makes me sad...

When building a toy demo where we taught GPT4 how to perform queries against a specific Postgres schema, we had to use a lot of those "I repeat", "AGAIN YOU MUST NOT", "please don'…

I came here to say the same, this guy pushed Linux desktop adoption forward like few others by himself and just for passion. RIP

Well if they mean assemble instead of build the things change a bit, but anyway even when talking about big and complex things there are big and complex things that can be "easily"…

IMHO because it's not something trivial to build so you would also need to build the stuff to build it. To build complex (and huge) machinery you need specialized factories with lo…

So... you afford a house for 3k/y and say that one cannot afford one for 10k/y? I'm missing something about your point. For 10k/y you can live in most of Europe, of course not the …

If people spend 1k/mo on average it means it is totally possible to spend 850. As I said it is possible to spend 850 or even less in a half of the country . Average, average, avera…

With 850€/month you can pay rent (a small apartment for one person) and bills in more or less half of Germany, same for France. The average net after tax have no meaning in this co…

C'mon there is nothing brave or adventurous about it, it is just first world fancy. I'm happy he enjoys it but end of story let's not make this something special, it is not.

I said most of Europe, not all of Europe and the UK is known for being one of the most expensive countries in Europe. Same for Scandinavia, Belgium, Netherlands and Denmark. But th…

I'm from Italy and lived alone in Greece, Spain and Portugal so I know it is surely possible. And lived in cities not in the middle of nowhere.

It absolutely is in all of southern Europe except the center of some large cities, same for eastern Europe, rural France and Germany, etc.

All fine and good, I hope he likes it but €10k is a lot of money to live more or less like a beggar. With €10k/y you can afford a house+food+bills in most of Europe and in many pla…

My exact thought. If the Spanish prosecutors want somebody to pay for those expenses it should be the British gov or whatever other agency as it is the same as if I warned the poli…

Thanks for the infos, but it isn't a logical process. It comes deep from the guts and I cannot control it in any way, it is really a phobia and you should see how I behave when I s…
