I tend to follow Google Maps' advice only when there are no signals or directions as it most of the times sends me through the twisty local/secondary roads. It also considers that all roads are to be done at maximum allowed speed.

Don't forget that wind turbines still produce at night when there is less demand. So either you use that power to pump water upstream (if you have dams) or you can use it to produce Hydrogen.

Years ago the Portuguese government encouraged consumers to submit their receipts in a portal and each submitted receipt was a entry to a raffle where the prizes were luxury cars. This way they could match the receipts from consumers with

Amazing! Thank you so much for this. I am getting myself an A3 diagram of my hometown.

I wonder how many people will actually buy this. Personally, I would rather get a box full of veggies than some internet karma.

Indeed. You couldn't offer the same level of services that a cruise ship does because of height restrictions and it's too slow for fast-paced youngsters. Price-wise it's hard to compete with interrail so I guess it would be a

I wonder if there are any costs to use the waterways. Even if the boats are slower than trains, couldn't it be the case that with all the layovers a train takes as much or more time than a boat? It would be cool to have a boat service

I could argue that that's just your opinion and of an handful of other rival club supporters.

It's a nice story but I've seen this parenting technique applied in our western society: - "Don't do this or the police will arrest you". - "eat you yogurt or that kid over there is going to eat it". Isn&#

I stayed a few nights in Ao Nang and even though is quite packed you can still find places to eat without reserving beforehand. I used it more as a base to visit the surroundings, as the beach there doesn't look that inviting with all

I was in Thailand last November and I spent some days in Krabi. It's so overly touristic that in most "paradisiac" beaches you cannot even take a decent nap with all the noisy long-tail boats going back and forth. Even though

I exported the list and created a small node app to sort the colors: https://github.com/dcustodio/colorcount the top five is #00000 (66 occurrences), #CC0000 (18), #FF6600 (12), #FF0000 (10), #FFCC00 (8)

the beauty is that one day you'll be able to sell electricity from your EV during peak hours, and recharge it when it's cheap.

I fill up every time I refuel and I take notes of the quantity and odometer and the average matches the dashboard.

Books would provide the general guidelines on how to do some stuff. I used a search engine (not sure if google at that time) to decipher the exceptions and it eventually would point me to some random message board. It taught me to RTFM.

Some people need to feel offended just as I need my morning coffee. I'm not even counting how old is my pc/laptop and that's the thing I like about PCs - there's hardly anything new that triggers my Gear Acquisition S

As a windows phone user I hope this is merely a speculation. WP is a great platform for entry level phones. I recently upgraded my WP8.1 to Windows 10 and it runs like a charm even though it only has 512 RAM.

Great article. I find disturbing how some apps are so hard to use not only by the poor choice of icons, but by not providing immediate and clear ways to perform the most basic actions.

good stuff. Anybody know there are material-design stylesheets for web development?

yes, MBnet is awesome. but sometimes some sites don't accept it (when they test the card doing some transactions first), I wonder if Final will have the same issues.

exactly, I think most incubators in Portugal are there for the real estate and few offer real incubation/acceleration plans.

It really depends on your medium/long term career goals. If you want to become a manager it's better sooner than later. At least you'll have the time to learn the job properly. The managers I liked the most so far were the l

Another rejection here. It was our first time applying for YC (or any other incubator). The application process sure helped us view things in a perspective other than co-founders as coders. Even if we decide not to apply again it will be a

I think the idea of starting with portuguese is because of the large brazilian community that struggles with english. In portugal most programmers speak english fluently. I, for one, will continue to use english.
