Just FYI, when checking out jumpjets homepage, the white-dot airship in the background made the white text in the hero banner hard to read. Cool project!

Like other commenters, I also recently made the switch. Figured I would dual-boot windows but have never needed to boot it back up again. ProtonDB is a goldmine when a game doesn't work. Oh, and switching from Nvidia GPU to AMD GPU see

To add some more context to your comment. One of the big attacks was in 2021 with the Kaseya ransomware attack that caused one of the larger grocers (coop) to essentially be unable to operate. Made national news as they had to give away pro

I liked the article so I wanted to give you some feedback. Hope it is useful to you! - I don't think the definitions of error and failure are 100% correct as stated. Looking at the IEEE definition that you reference, I interpret error

I've been using this as my standard font for maybe 1-2 years now (no, I am not joking). While I don't think that the font is any more legible than other fonts, the quirkiness and the character of the font makes it rather enjoyable

I have a similar feeling. For some work I need to focus, but the "why don't we scrap this idea for one that does the same thing in 1/10 the code"-moments have mostly been in and between meetings and office chatter.

I have one example and an anti-example. Both are related to algorithms and computer science. A) Packing a binary tree into an array. Anyone that has attended an algorithms course has likely created a binary tree with nodes, leaf nodes, left

This summer I read "On Writing Well" by William Zissner which was an eye opener for me. I'm far from an expert in writing clear texts, but I am definitely noticing more text which are just... big balls of blurb that don'

Yeah, I guess my point is that the categorization "prefer working with people" vs "prefer working with things" seems very weird. If I was a solo IT-entrepeneur I would likely work a lot with both! It does not even seem t

The definition of working with people vs. working with things doesn't seem obvious to me. As a software engineer I am working a lot with my computer. Therefore I must be working with things! But... I am just as much working with my sof

It sounds to me like you did a full rewrite by replacing the app piece by piece, sprint by sprint, releasing changes quite often and bringing that value all the way to the user. I think that is really clever. My impression from others in th

Maybe it's because I live in Sweden but I know a lot of people in the company that I work at that work between 50-90%. I myself plan to go down to 80% sometime in the near-ish future (current plan is 2025). Definitely not the norm toug

My understanding, as a Swedish native, is that income from labour is taxed rather high (i think 70%+ for income over a certain amount). However, capital gains are taxed comparatively low. The two most common ways tax either 30% of the profi

I also thought about transgender and gay rights. Heresy to me sounds like it comes from an intolerant society. At least in regards to LGBTQ+ rights it feels like society has (thankfully!) become more tolerant. How many people would be fired

I very much understand that Sweden could have done better in response to the pandemic, but I feel that there are a lot of points where the paper is disingenuous. > During 2020, however, Sweden had ten times higher COVID-19 death rates co

It's amazing to me how long 100K years are ~1-2 million years ago humans "invented" fire. ~12'000 years ago we invented agriculture. ~4'500 years ago the pyramids were built. Will human civilization even exist in 1

I think Vetenskap och Folkbildning (authors of the linked text) have a website with some longer articles and more details. If I remember correctly there were a few public services (police? hospital?) that paid a lot of money to the author o

"no-lockdown" is unfortunately "technically true but far from the truth". I consider poor journalistic reporting a major contributor to this... I can't remember the exact date, but I think in march or april 2020 the

I recently spent a full day trying to debug wifi on my dual-boot desktop with "newish" hardware. The wifi would occasionally drop 100% of packets, for between 5 seconds and 10 minutes, and then go back to normal. I tried installin

There are a whole slew of "advanced AI programs" out there that tells managers who to fire and who to keep, tells judges if someone should go to jail or not, etc. There are a lot of systems out there where peoples lives are change

I really love this kind of thinking. This isn't the first time I have happen upon it, but I really like the idea that the work I do for a company is an exchange in which both the company and I get something out of it. Certainly when I

This is something I have thought about before when it comes to Docker. "It's just a fancy chroot" is what people often say. While there is some truth to that statement, the real "innovation" is getting millions of p
