Absolutely, and IMO the EU should be developing our own semiconductors. It seems completely unreasonable to me that one pillar of modern society has to be bought from USA or China and doesn't have a locally sourced alternative...

I'm from Castilla y León (mid west) and the only people I know doing this are people who have to work at unusual times that wake up at 3-5 in the morning. People with normal working hours don't take siesta.

I'm not a manager and agree that in an office I'm more productive, but at home I'm much cheaper for the company and the company gets more for their money. Realistically at Google I'd probably be an L5 or L6 software engi

> Is IBM really doing that to Red Hat, or just suffocating it slowly the way that happens in many acquisitions? OK, my previous comment was an overstatement. This is what's happening.

I'm not there anymore but there has been significant change in the company culture (which was great) and IBM is making conditions gradually worse. One thing that is a clear change is that IBM is pushing for having a cheaper workforce,

Odd, most pre workouts supplements include caffeine. I use a pre-workout from a very famous supplement brand which includes 175 mg of caffeine and I can definitely tell the difference. I can't tell how much of that is because of the ca

I meant the same characters not the same sounds. Portuguese has the same basic characters except for ç, in the case of vowels it's resolved with combinations of letters or by adding accents. For instance e and é have different sounds a
