In what country do you live? I've had children in two European countries, in both it was common knowledge that natural birth is safer then cesarean and doctors/hospital strongly pr…

I work remotely. I drive a 8y old BMW 2 series (manual). Ran 230k KM (142k miles). Has been very good to us. Bought it outright for €11k 4 years ago. I'll probably drive it into th…

> Except for thee Dodge RAM, which can be converted to a tax efficient company car (crazy) You can no longer do that since 1st of Jan 2025. The BPM discount for company cars was re…

HN is almost perfect as it is. I really hope it does not change. I love that it barely has any styling. Just enough to make it work. The fact that it doesn't use any design pattern…

I love that this is funded by the French&German government. Go Europe! Wonderful to see. My only wish is that other EU governments (my own included) would invest even more into pro…

In retrospect, I should've been more aggressive and risk taking with life decisions in my early teens and early twenties. Now with two small kids and a mortgage, I no longer have t…

Everyone here arguing that most people have no practical use for higher speeds at home have never experienced 1 GBit up+down. Once you have it, you'll never settle for less. I have…

Netherlands. Almost every major super market chain uses them and dynamically adjusts the prices. Here's an article from 2019 about a major chain intending to change all the price t…

This article gets pretty close, but it misses a very critical piece. If you're running Keycloak 16 or older, you'll explicitly want to enable lazy offline session loading [0]. Othe…

We often experienced cascading failure, especially during rolling restarts. A node would start shutting down and Infinispan would start to try to rebalance. Due to the large volume…

If there's anyone reading this that is planning on deploying Keycloak in a high availability environment, I would highly recommend that you persist all sessions in the database as …

Romania, Cluj-Napoca by Digi. 9€/month, 1 Gbit down, 450 Mbit up. It's all fiber. You can't really get non-fiber around here. It's blazing fast and pretty stable. There are no real…

This is what I do. Pandoc to convert the markdown files into standalone HTML files. I use a custom HTML template to style the page a bit and add meta tags etc.

Most VPN's can be configured to only tunnel traffic to certain destinations. Maybe you can configure it to only tunnel traffic to university services?

This is a bit disingenuous. They now market themselves as the creators of Reddit, or its owners, which is not true. They employed its creator for a while, but that's all. It would'…

I am not sure what appealing alternative you could offer. I didn't have a car up until recently. I got one because I had a kid. Even though I live in a small European city [0] (400…

Chromium is open-source and the developers write pretty good commit messages about _why_ they're changing something. As for your example with --disable-features=Windows10CustomTitl…

I looked at your landing page and I don't know how it's different from its competitors except that it lacks features that your competitors have. Why should I choose it over Pingdom…

Really? I moved from the Netherlands to Romania a few years ago and all I had to do was register for residency at the immigration services. That took about 15 minutes. I opened a b…

Most European banks have API's. It's almost mandatory by European law [1]. As an example, see ING's API: https://developer.ing.com/openbanking/home [1] https://ec.europa.eu/info/la…

Compared to everything? I don't think I've waited anywhere for more than an hour in my life. Maybe a ride in an amusement park or in traffic, but that would be it. Certainly not to…

They went to see a judge about it first. Nothing secretive.
