Just FYI, when checking out jumpjets homepage, the white-dot airship in the background made the white text in the hero banner hard to read. Cool project!

Like other commenters, I also recently made the switch. Figured I would dual-boot windows but have never needed to boot it back up again. ProtonDB is a goldmine when a game doesn't…

To add some more context to your comment. One of the big attacks was in 2021 with the Kaseya ransomware attack that caused one of the larger grocers (coop) to essentially be unable…

I liked the article so I wanted to give you some feedback. Hope it is useful to you! - I don't think the definitions of error and failure are 100% correct as stated. Looking at the…

I've been using this as my standard font for maybe 1-2 years now (no, I am not joking). While I don't think that the font is any more legible than other fonts, the quirkiness and t…

I have a similar feeling. For some work I need to focus, but the "why don't we scrap this idea for one that does the same thing in 1/10 the code"-moments have mostly been in and be…

> The only solution is for the regulator, in this case the central banks, to issue guidance for the banks to create credit for only new productive investments, whether that be new …

On B) yes, of course. Aaagh, all these algorithms and their indistinguishable names!

I have one example and an anti-example. Both are related to algorithms and computer science. A) Packing a binary tree into an array. Anyone that has attended an algorithms course h…

This summer I read "On Writing Well" by William Zissner which was an eye opener for me. I'm far from an expert in writing clear texts, but I am definitely noticing more text which …

Yeah, I guess my point is that the categorization "prefer working with people" vs "prefer working with things" seems very weird. If I was a solo IT-entrepeneur I would likely work …

The definition of working with people vs. working with things doesn't seem obvious to me. As a software engineer I am working a lot with my computer. Therefore I must be working wi…

It sounds to me like you did a full rewrite by replacing the app piece by piece, sprint by sprint, releasing changes quite often and bringing that value all the way to the user. I …

Maybe it's because I live in Sweden but I know a lot of people in the company that I work at that work between 50-90%. I myself plan to go down to 80% sometime in the near-ish futu…

My understanding, as a Swedish native, is that income from labour is taxed rather high (i think 70%+ for income over a certain amount). However, capital gains are taxed comparative…

I also thought about transgender and gay rights. Heresy to me sounds like it comes from an intolerant society. At least in regards to LGBTQ+ rights it feels like society has (thank…

I very much understand that Sweden could have done better in response to the pandemic, but I feel that there are a lot of points where the paper is disingenuous. > During 2020, how…

It's amazing to me how long 100K years are ~1-2 million years ago humans "invented" fire. ~12'000 years ago we invented agriculture. ~4'500 years ago the pyramids were built. Will …

You have to scroll to the bottom to see what kind of studies they are performing with Rally. For example tracking facebooks tracking pixels ( https://rally.mozilla.org/current-stud…

I think Vetenskap och Folkbildning (authors of the linked text) have a website with some longer articles and more details. If I remember correctly there were a few public services …

That tool is great! Sent you some teslas (or coffe) and commemorating it with this silly meme I made: https://gfycat.com/DampDesertedAfricanhornbill

"no-lockdown" is unfortunately "technically true but far from the truth". I consider poor journalistic reporting a major contributor to this... I can't remember the exact date, but…

I recently spent a full day trying to debug wifi on my dual-boot desktop with "newish" hardware. The wifi would occasionally drop 100% of packets, for between 5 seconds and 10 minu…

There are a whole slew of "advanced AI programs" out there that tells managers who to fire and who to keep, tells judges if someone should go to jail or not, etc. There are a lot o…

I really love this kind of thinking. This isn't the first time I have happen upon it, but I really like the idea that the work I do for a company is an exchange in which both the c…
