I assume so that they can break the record again later on.

I like and see the value of corpspeak. Take “bandwidth”, for example. It’s superior to “time”, because it implies that something else has already filled up all the available time. …

If I'm a Go developer, or changing jobs because I want to use Go, of course that it is in both mine and my future employer's best interest to set expectations if I'm gonna work on …

I probably wasn’t clear enough. I don’t feel guilty because of my life style, I feel like I’m in a trap. What would happen with me and my family if power grid goes down for a week?…

This is exactly what I’ll try to change in next 5 years. Have a sustainable baseline: my own food (or at least 50% of it, other 50% locally grown within ~10km) and energy independe…

I’m from Serbia, and know for sure that during the NATO war against Serbia in ‘99 our military was residing in (some) schools. It makes sense if you think about it. If they were be…

Is lowering the salary and receive high dividends illegal in Holland?

Yes. I have two daughters, and my eyes get wet and my throat closes every time I remember that scene. But then, it turns out that most likely I'm manipulated. I say most likely, be…

There’s also the feel of being played and deceived when something you had strong emotional reaction (i.e. Ukrainian father saying goodbye to his daughters) turns out to be propagan…

The more emotionally intensive the news are, the more skeptical I am towards it.

That’s how the world works, unfortunately. NATO did the same thing in Yugoslavia back in 99. No one was held responsible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni%C5%A1_cluster_bombing

It would be great if you could get a correct (or close) answer every time if you made a guess, and where you made an error. I assume you would get better after a while and would be…

Can someone tell if this would be a good personal/societal strategy: once you had covid, or fully vaxxed, it’s much better to be among other people, to be exposed to the virus and …

Which book would you consider his best? I’ve only read House of Suns, and it was great.

Life as we know it.

Just wanted to mention that! In Serbian (and most other south Slavic languages) we use a word слон (slon) for elephant. I was always wondering why is that, how can we have native w…

One of my most experienced and respected colleagues likes to say: “when it looks like I’m not working at all that’s when I’m working the most”.

Good for them. But I guess there will also be some people judging and complaining how it’s not fair that they can afford to follow their dreams.

As someone living and working in the developing country I say: please profit from my work! I started my software development career making 2.5EUR per hour. Now, 10 years later, I c…

So what? I’m putting >50 hours per week so that in 20 years my kids could have more than one shot in entrepreneurship.

This is exactly how I studied for hard (theory-heavy) exams at the university! If this would cover >90% of what can come up on the certification exam, I would be willing to pay! Pl…

You realize that Naval is a person of color?

Well now that I’m so used to a level of privacy that locked iPhone provides (notification details are hidden), I just don’t mind having the phone relocked each time. It’s a trade-o…

What ROI? There are tweets more information dense than articles, articles more valuable than books.

Wow, just yesterday I was thinking and discussing about how and why to ban tiktok for my kids, but this is great example of the tech being used to create something amazing! Really …
