Christ I almost forgot about Three Investigators, but I really liked them at the time. "The green backs" as I thought of them (Nancy Drew was red) Probably one of those things you …

Are you sure? I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure they won't argue that applies links without summaries as well. And what about thumbnails? I mean the "fair use" laws weren'…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hacker News would technically be affected by the same Link tax. It would probably not be enforced but still. It's such a stupid idea and I really lose …

But, but, that's just how Blogs work man :) They clearly attribute it to them (though I find it a tad lame they don't have a specific attribution area), and you could argue that be…

Yeah, he has a point :) It's always struck me as weird that we "allow" political leaders that can put personal gain and career in front of what's good for everyone else. Also as yo…

I kinda want to see a black mirror episode of AI overlords shepherding humans for their own good :)

Yeah, but a huge problem with finding accommodation for it's recruits. In contrast to Berlin it's impossible to get a first hand rent contract. A second hand is going to be super e…

Sorry, I think I meant transatlantic airport, or a "large" airport. Not sure, it used to lack something I heard but not sure exactly what and if it's still true. They're struggling…

Maybe Leipzig is the new Berlin :)

Yeah I guess that's what stemming the tide :) Also a lot of German companies seem to require that you speak German. I know awesome programmers/designers living in Berlin but if the…

I think Berlins "Poor but happy" times are fast coming to an end. Rents have been rising quickly the last few years and tech companies and startups becoming more prevalent. Heck, N…

I think this is great news and something I've been pushing for for a long time. Sure adoption of Windows Store apps are pretty low now and it's incredibly hard to earn any money on…

There are tons of articles and books on design. In the same way you build your toolbox with programming with algorithms, concepts design patterns, best practices, you need to build…

Each to their own but my experience has been the opposite. I just purchased an Oculus Rift with touch controllers, being carefully optimistic but a bit skeptical, thinking it was g…

I'm not super familiar with how it works in the US. But here you loan against the value of your property. If the value plunges you no longer have coverage for your loan and the ban…

People often fail to take into account that risk has a value. I did some quantitative analysis (most of that is BS but that's another story) for a gig and it was big eye opener. Pe…

Speaking of red... In Sweden we have a color called "Falu red" that's the icon red that long has been put on many cottages and houses. The pigment is based on the copper in the cop…

Aww, no Chang? :) Someone has been hanging out in Hubud too much :)

I think one of the main problems is that we still describe too much of "How" we want to do something, rather than "What we want to do", ie too many implementation details are speci…

I always wanted a language that was built upon the concept on just passing things forward in a pipe, and was like an hybrid between functional and c style languages, like: someobje…

I didn't mean to trivialize it, it's an extremely impressive accomplishment for sure. The documentary was very interesting as well, recommended

I'm still intrigued by the possibility of a more "elegant" solution to Fermat being out there. Wiles approach seems like brute forcing it by stitching together different proofs. It…

Unfortunately IMO that kind of thinking seldom works. It's very managerial to assign specific time and percentages to things but in practice I've never known development to be mana…

yeah, that's what's often is being done. But it prevents the methodology to have some useful best practices built into it, and a methodology could be a force in improving code qual…

Some developers think that, and unfortunately a lot of methodology enforces that thinking. Cleaning up code as you go should be a habit I agree. It's slightly trickier when code re…
