Technically yes, but it seems like people's intuition for safe behaviour is worse across the board with modern technology, than it is with old technology. Maybe it will improve by itself over time, but maybe not? There are a lot of thi

The issue is that someone can look over your shoulder and memorize your code, if you use a pin in public. Some people will use the same pin for screen lock and BankID, and if someone gets their code and their phone they can cause a huge amo

Yes, you really shouldn't ever use a pin code for BankID (or your screen lock) in public. Only biometrics if anyone is watching.

9/10 runs I leave my phone at home, but when I do bring it for some reason, I'm very happy with my "Flipbelt(tm)". It carries a 250g phone with no slipping, sliding or bounce. My Flipbelt has lost some tightness after th

Risk of any use of nuclear weapons is quite different from "nuclear annihilation". There are vastly fewer and vastly less powerful nuclear bombs/warheads today than 30, 40, 50, 60 years ago. The shelling of Mauripol in Ukrain

Nuclear annihilation on any sort of global scale is further off than ever in the past 60-70 years or so. The doomsday clock is mostly worrying about climate change, conventional war and Facebook boomers spreading and believing fake news. I

An unauthorized continuation of the official dataclasses backport from 3.7 to 3.6, that brings almost every single dataclass feature and optimization from 3.14 to every Python version between 3.6 and 3.13. Originally created for production

Minimum wage is at least 10x too much. You would have no ownership and no startup grant. There would also be no property taxes, but on the other hand there would also be no tax funded services like healthcare or education.

Wealth is a sharper answer than capitalism, even though it is an overlapping one. To manage forrests and and other agriculture in the traditional way, we need extreme amounts of extreme poverty. We need millions and millions of people who a

On the 0.16.0 release it was more like 10% autofixable on the codebases I maintain. One of them had 100+ unfixable errors across less than 10k lines of code and tests in total. Previous ruff version labeled it perfectly clean on format and

Sure, of you are a one-man shop trying to sell IT services in a regulated category to banks, hosting is not something you want to add to your list of problems. This is not comparable to the situation in a company like Airbus, with perhaps 1

It is only pyright/basedpyright that flags Optional[T] as deprecated as far as I am aware. Optional isn't actually deprecated by Python or anyone else. You can disable it in the pyright settings. In my opinion T | None is not a me

On the A380 you get to enjoy the higher ceiling also in economy. It does make quite a difference for how cramped you feel, even though the leg room might be the same. And both B747 and A380 fly much calmer than the smaller, lighter widebodi

Are you just an employee or also an owner in that company? If you are an employee only, having a union to back you up could be extremely useful if things ever go bad.

It is somewhat annoying dealing with accounting and reporting for reverse VAT as a customer. Not a dealbreaker in itself, but the sort of little thing you don't want to build a stack of. Shady PO-box address, Yahoo contact email, expir

Relatively tiny? It is a 92 million person organisation with a 1.7 trillion dollar turnover, 2500+ years of continuous operations and covering an area 1/6th the size of USA.

Minimum wage is set by the states, 7.25 is just the national minimum. California has 16.90, Washington 17.13 etc. If I'll update the icecone example to a single vanilla scoop costing $8.45 it still stands for a Californian. By the way,

I don't think people should get ripped off just because they can afford it. If you visit Sweden, don't buy ice cream in the historic area of Stockholm ("gamla stan"). As an American you might think "$10 for a single

The well that you drill will last a 100 years if you don't have bad luck. That is half the cost of installation. The water/water heatpump unit in my house is 20 years old and has not had any major failures yet. I hope it will run

€200 buys you a 1tb ssd even at todays elevated prices. That has no problem giving you 10gbit of sequential io. Four or five 7200rpm disks in an array can also sustain it for sequential reads of big files. That costs less than a gaming lapt

I can't see the cable jackets. There's just outlets in the walls. I ask building management to make a link between outlet X and Y and then they make it happen via one or more patch panels that I don't know where they are. :-)

I don't agree that it is insane. It is less efficient than ideal, but 10gbit over copper is not necessarily dangerously hot or difficult to power. I have a MikroTik CRS304-4XG-IN on my office desk with three out of four ports at 10gbit

I might have been lucky, but in the one home and one office were I've connected 10gbit switches and PCIe cards, it has just worked. Especially the office was a nice surprise, because it is at least 20 meters (probably more) of unknown

That is a steep drop in mile pace between ages 50 and 62 you had. Is it just age/genes/luck or did you have some sort of injury in between? Considering that you can still do a decent sprint over 400m and have the endurance for ult

On the contrary, I threw a multi-threading optimization task on it, that 4.5 and 4.6 have been pretty useless at handling. 4.7 bested my hand-tuned solution by almost 2x on first attempt. This was what I thought was my best moat as a senior

Yeah, as a Scandinavian it is often hard to understand how people can feel that their existence is a secret. We've had public and fairly rich (family relations, profession) census data for hundreds of years. Tax records, school grades,
