What suprizes me is that you ask "why is it necessary to have car if you have kids?" and when I answer why you switch to theoritizing about how the world should be. So either we discuss the reality where the next available pediatr

I'm a father of two boys (8 and 5 yo) and we live in a small village (Ober-Erlenbach) next to a sattelite city (Bad Homburg) close to a big city (Frankfurt). We could not get along without a car (actually we own two cars). The younger

If they'll do this for one case like QR codes on boarding passes, then the question and and expectation will arise, why don't they do it for every other possible case? This is not their job and not their responsibility, period.

AWS Lambda appeared to be a nice method for task scheduling. In any case it is very cheap I only get billed for like 400ms per day. Other services like KMS came in quite handy as well - for instance to encrypt Bitstamp credentials in the co
