I see them quite a lot in Berlin.

I use your site often. Thank you for creating it, it's a great resource!

Got into running and triathlon. Started out 3 years ago with light running mostly on treadmill during the winter. Ran two half marathons and then one year later ran a full marathon…

Emergency is that if current regime loses the elections, they will all have to be persecuted for various law violations. It's a fight for survival.

I have such mixed feelings about the Demon cycle. I really like the characters and the first book is excellent. However it starts to be the same pattern for the later books and plo…

You're right on most parts, I'm not as well informed as I thought I was, but I think you're going with assumption that all the freelance folk should have registered 'agencies' and …

What happened is that basically noone was paying any tax because the Tax Service did not have a way to classify internet workers. You can't pay taxes if you don't know how much you…

That may apply to yoga class at 11am, but asking for a day off? Come on...

I'm not saying windows users love installing services. I meant, maybe your acquaintances aren't that tech savvy and don't understand the implications. My parents we're the same bef…

If your machine is low on RAM and you keep installing services to it, it will slow down. OS has nothing to do with it.

You don't have Instagram? All their apps should be treated the same.

I don't think that's the case. Or simply from my own perspective. I use to be pretty good at Starcraft2 (like top 0.01 percentile according to ladder, which had me playing vs grand…

Why would they get offended by it?

That's so true. It sucks a bit when you develop a lot of 'online' hobbies, like gaming, reading blogs, etc. But backpains will make even the most hardcore games into runners :)

You don't lose, you're still an engineer. Platform loses a user. And that's bad for everyone as explained in the essay.

Manually editing data has a bug. If you click cancel it will still update the value.

I may have answered with a bias. In all jobs I had, on the first day you're given a desk, PC and everything you need and you spend half of the day onboarding, other half usually se…

Not defending her but 'asking' for a desk sounds ridiculous. Should she also ask for a chair? Power outlet? Access to toilet?

I'm quite the opposite. I always try to give the honest feedback hoping it would be read. If company tries to use anonymity to track down people who give negative feedback and try …

Video should be there but their site is frustrating. Both for visibility and reliability.

They won't. They are very 'serious' about their API access. You won't get the chance to try it out without a full-blown company behind you. I've tried to setup a dev account but I …

People playing with better than average HW is not such a big issue. It could mean a bit for the absolute top tier competitors, but that's under 0.01% player-base and for certain ge…

I don't think its a lack of perspective. Any moves they make that makes us lose some of the freedom on the internet (and in real life now) will not be temporary. It will outlive th…

Waking up without an alarm clock doesn't imply lack of discipline. Unless I'm going out or going to bed very late I usually don't need an alarm. I'd just wake up at the same time e…
