I've had a very detailed memory of the surroundings of my childhood home, which changed when I was 3-4 (major construction in the neighborhood, rerouting a street). We never had an…

> There's also the phenomenon of having a memory of a memory. At age 10, I had a very solid recollection of my life at ages 5 to 6 (not so much of age 4). Now all I remember is tha…

It is a damn shame bordering conspiracy that metamizole ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamizole , known as Analgin in eastern Europe and the Balkans, apparently also India) is n…

All of these studies are always performed by Finns (or SE / DK / NO + maybe Russia). I'd love to see this (and other sauna studies) replicated by someone somewhere to the south or …

It's inverted, 100 == 0, 75 == 25

Yeah, a way where they hand you all their personal info for profiling, cyberbullying and threats?

I've worked in the automotive industry, as an embedded dev, some years ago. The software used by the automotive industry, mostly German-written, is absolutely terrible. Funnily eno…

I was not expecting it to be this ugly.

You're missing the preparation for WW3.

Probably war.

Don't attribute to ideals what is simple self-preservation. No sane person wants to become a legitimate military target. They want to sleep in their own beds, at home, without risk…

Only Matrix.

As I've said before, Matrix really is the only viable open source solution for in-company communication. Every other solution (Zulip / Mattermost / whatever) is too risky, they cou…

This cannot be overstated. It used to be a pile of trash, now it's quite decent (but with lots of room for improvement).

Yeah, a lot of people who went to the US illegaly now own businesses. A highschool buddy went to drive trucks in like 2014, now has his own trucking company, several trucks, bunch …

I think it's strictly for financial reasons. A different profile of people from Serbia comes to the US. I'm from Montenegro, but also lived in Serbia for a sizeable portion of my l…

This has certainly happened to someone if not the OP. I did wait in a single spot for almost 10h, my 5-6h journey became a 15h one, in Serbia in the late 2000s. IIRC, a large part …

I thoroughly investigated every open-source (mostly open-core) self-hostable Slack alternative, and the conclusion was clear: only a self-hosted Matrix is a viable option. There ar…

There's a very common line of thinking that goes like this: From the end of WWII until the fall of communism, the public in the West (as opposed to the elites) enjoyed much better …

Is there a device you can recommend for printing (sticky) labels occasionally? I have a little Brother printer for those narrow little labels, one with a rubber keyboard, but would…

I agree. But on the other hand, let's not kid ourselves, array out of bounds, use after free, resource leaks and bad type system, all of this isn't even close to an exhaustive list…

When you hear him saying it, it's funny. When you hear this reiterated by employees, who actually believe it, then it's sad. Obviously not in this situation, but I've actually hear…

Woodworers make 70% - 200% of dev wages in Slovenia, especially if you're decent at it. It's of course quite dull, kitchens, cabinets, ... Mostly tailored to living spaces of upper…
