The probabilities in Germany are around 12.5% and around 40% in Switzerland itself [0]. To live anywhere where to quote OP "it [would be] unusual not to have snow for Christmas and…

> 20 years ago it was unusual not to have snow for Christmas and New Year. This is one of those widely spread Mandela effect-style misconceptions. The chances of a white Christmas …

Ah I beg your pardon. I read the comment in completely the wrong tone of voice. To me it seemed like the comment was attacking its parent for investigating state management framewo…

This relates in no way to any statement from the comment you replied to. Did you mean to reply to a different comment?

I do want to mention how we're now in Phase 3 of online recipes. Phase 1 was just putting up a recipe online without a giant preamble. Phase 2 was adding a giant preamble to get th…

I am at the point in my life where I have a shitty broken printer that I'm still not getting rid of, because at least I am aware of all the ways it is broken and shitty and how to …

You're bang on - I was asked in the very first call for two references. Also in this case I really don't mind disclosing - I was laid off because my position was made redundant ent…

I've honestly made enough of a positive experience to recommend doing it. Sometimes people just genuinely tell you things like "there wasn't enough detail about X on your CV, but w…

I'm in similar shoes to the author here, and am glad to hear you show some understanding for this. I interviewed with a quite promising company beginning of December, only to immed…

Have you compared and contrasted Java and C# (especially with regards to let's say larger frameworks)? Both of those put a strong emphasis on types, but only one of those (it's Jav…

That's the UK you're thinking of, not Germany.

To everyone saying "well it doesn't sound that bad", let me just point out: For a standard that supposedly started out as "we need a short code to refer to an airport", there is no…

It's a common thing to miss. There's a reason SQL injections are (unless things have changed recently) among the most prevalent classes of web exploits.

The realization that database procedures are code, not data, even though they reside on the database (where the data lives) is the difficult part.

You joke, but I have literally never had as great of a success at work as that one time my team didn't end up building the software. We had great ideas about scheduling and caching…
