I thought we preferred the alliteration "Winzigweich".

It is not. Quake had "Excellent" for two kills in short succession, but nothing else if you chained kills after that.

I have been working with the Tink API recently as well and wasn't super impressed. Maybe it was our use case, but I noticed a few gaps in their documentation and am not a big fan o…

What are you talking about? Ever since the first big Munich cohort, Germany has done extensive testing and scientists like Dr. Drosten have confirmed multiple times that we've been…

Regarding your question about if we might accidentally test for flu or other, already existing corona virii: This was a topic of discussion in yesterday's talk [1] with Dr. Drosten…

Interesting, I didn't know that. What's the legal status of a cyclist on the road then? Are they normal participants in traffic? I generally find the tone of the discussion about c…

Huh, so you paid for the road and the cyclist didn't? I'm not an American, but I don't think there's a road tax for car owners in the US.

Blendle is nice in theory but their article pricing is really off-putting. I know that it's the publisher's choice to set prices for individual articles, but I'm not going to pay h…

It's interesting to see how no one even seems to try. In Europe there's Blendle [1], but that's only an aggregator and you still have to pay for each article you read (with hilario…

I was looking at buying an ultrabook and had the same problem (but living in Germany). In the end I decided on a Lenovo X1 Carbon, though, but faced the decision to either get one …

It's closer to just being Hypezig. Source: am from Leipzig.

Short background: I'm 34 years old and while I've always liked the idea of doing software development, I started a career as a typesetter for a book publisher. Over the last few ye…

I don't think "You don't know JS" is good for a beginner, either. It delves very deep into some JS core mechanics and explains them with a lot of foo/bar/baz code that a beginner c…

I've always been baffled by the absence of lookbehinds. Made a lot of regex searching unwieldy, so I'm glad they finally added it together with named capture groups.

Can anyone comment on the quality of the books? A lot of the covered topics are of interest to me (Docker, nginx, git) but I'd like to know if those books are worth the read.

I think it's more a reaction to a usage pattern of their star system. YouTube abandoned their five star rating system citing that most people voted only 1 or 5 stars with almost no…

Well, YouTube abandoned its 5 star rating system citing that almost everyone votes either 1 or 5 stars [1]. It might be that that Netflix is seeing a similar usage of their voting …

To be honest, I don't think that NodeSchool intends to give a primer on how to build a production-ready balance manager. They want to teach the basics of JS, that's all. I agree, t…

Yep, same problem trying to get the free tier here in Germany: I have to create a business account. Well, no GCP for me. I hope they reconsider this unfortunate restriction.
