I can chime in. My wife is from Germany, and I'm from Portugal, we both speak English with each other which is easier (DE is very hard for me to learn), but she talks DE with the little one and I talk PT with him. He can speak perfectl

Never had problems installing any major Linux dist, but 15 years ago I still remember the boring and time consuming on patching the kernel with custom patches so that my wi-fi card or gfx card could work. I stopped trying to use Linux as a

I think the author completely misses the point or never worked in a proper agile team. Imagine running a marathon without mile markers. Sprints are like mile markers they help you know and adjust your velocity and capacity to reach the end

While I appreciate this kind of solutions, in my brain all I can think is: what the hell is wrong with the web today? I mean, what did we do to ourselves? How the hell did we ruin the web experience this much? Looking back in the 90s, the w

I'm pretty sure no-one from the future will have a way to plug his/hers mini-USB-XC or whatever the usb name will be at the time in the future (USB standards are just a mess).

I never understood the appealing of flying cars. Not only it looks much more dangerous than cars in case of accidents, but also picture yourself living in a city with millions of these flying around, always covering sun light, noise, just v

Awesome art style, but I wish the toolbox had labels, after I watered the plant, it transformed into a pumpkin and gave an unknown item. No idea what to do with that :X
