As I am living an almost mouse free life, automatically setting the input focus at the window (or input field) that I am currently looking on, would be a very nice comfort feature.…

Inflation of specific asset prices is also playing into this. Money is losing its value. Try buying a house with a regular wage nowadays. Politicians, central banks and economic ex…

Ironically I could not finish this article. Here is the one thing, that works for me, if I must read a text: While reading I use a Text-To-Speech-Engine to read out the text at the…

This was different. They tried DST all year around. Russia also tried this in 2014 and also failed.

I suspect a connection with the intestinal flora. Bacteria in the intestinal flora are able to synthesize all kinds of neurotransmitters from carbohydrates. I myself become very le…

As a night owl (wich most people actually are), Standard Time all year around would be best for you, from a biological stand point at least.

Sorry for being imprecise, but I actually meant Standard Time (as in noon at about 12pm). Our circadian rhythms are not as flexible as many people think. There are many studies sho…

> because people have little control over when their day starts. This is actually one of the best arguments for standard time all year around! If we force people to start the day a…

No, it does not make any sense! It forces the majority of the population to live with a constant mini jet-lag. It causes productivity loss and many health issues. There are no chro…

I hope Germans also reconsider and start listening to the scientists! This is again one of those issues where people voted against their own interests, because they associate summe…

You didn't happen to have a short position on Tesla when the infamous 420 tweet happened?

When americans are discussing politics they are always missing the point. At least from the outside perspective. It's like two parties arguing about football. One side is saying, w…

From my experience, fixing the glitching issue is relatively easy. Took me about 5 minutes last time. I did it twice already. Only 4 screws have to be removed. Check youtube for tu…

From my personal experience, I have to agree with wapapaloobop. I put a spoon of raw cacao in my morning coffee, because I love the taste. However I drink (and eat no) sugar whatso…

Maybe do both? Rewriting in Rust and increasing incentives. Writing security critical software in c++/c is not the sensible thing to do in my opinion (even though it is the standar…

When I do research I go through a lot of papers, many of them are discarded after the first couple of sentences. It would slow me down a lot, when I had to contact all of the autho…

> One of the earliest lessons I was taught, and I taught my kids, is that if somebody else has something we want and doesn't want to share it, it's not OK to just take it. Like the…
