It sells values as averages that definitely are not.

> Yes, but these are averages so it shouldn't matter. Assuming this is total spent in all households over a year, divided by population, it accounts for all fluctuations in time an…

Not accurate for Sweden either. Pricing in Stockholm region last weeks was 1/2 to 1/3 of what's in the list.

Transport issues extend to goods too.

This is overly simplified. A few aspects come to mind that have huge effects, in orders of magnitude: * Price differences during day/week/seasons. Cold day? Electricity can be 2-3x…

"Ruminating" is not all bad. The mind works on things and often the best solution to personal or professional problems come to me after I've let my mind work on it. Letting it run …

All soon to be obsoleted by ChatGPT. /s (I agree with your point and share your appreciation.)

And he presents all this stuff with humility. Many people that present are just showing off and are pretty much full of themselves. I suppose they need the ego boost, who knows. Bu…

Work != presence. In a role in which you don't have to sit in front of a computer, 3h presence could mean 8+ hours of work. I typically start working when I step into the shower in…

That could backfire. Maybe they were in the middle of something hard that's difficult to pick up from. To use the metaphor, perhaps you would be forcing them to park uphill.

Right. Or you try to break it down into subproblems which may be easier to solve. And those are then candidates for the downhill parking on-ramp for next day.

In C, a variable has traditionally been a box (memory location) that you put things into. Possibly a box that can only contain pointers to other boxes. That mental model breaks dow…

> rather than simply trying to squeeze a buck out of you. Their profit margins will come from somewhere . If not from savings then from higher pricing.

Agreed. Careful what you wish for. All those enthusiasts out their enjoying hacking their vehicles (in the traditional meaning of the term) would not like crypto and HSMs on that b…

This not have happened all over the place yet is evidence against this being as easy as you make it sound.

I'm wondering where the vegans are. They bother about conciousnesses down to fruitfly size. Don't harm any sentient animal. I can and do respect that. But shouldn't they be bothere…

The risk with this is that you keep procrastinating away before getting going again. It's the anticipated pain of frustration that prevents you from starting. Not so much if your i…

Excellent advice, just like the article as well.

Possible. But I'd have expected that at least a conversation take place. Involving the founder. Instead of having him lrarn about the decision publicly when it's too late.

Except for the vast number of books/tutorials of the type "X for Y programmers" with Y often being C. (Or Java or Python or C++.) And X being pretty much anything under the sun.

A variable in Python is quite a different beast from a variable in C though.
