My guess is that you are talking about Slovakia here. My weak Slovak makes it hard for me to research facts, so I tend to rely on my wife; but I understand that unfortunately the parkland is not "left on its own". The state fells

Also did this in cryptography + coding theory class back in university days. Our final exam had a practical code breaking test where we had a bunch of utilities and had to crack 3 different cyphers. I've always recounted it fondly.

Yes; I have a Kofola from the tap once in a while with a Langos at the nearby market. It does taste better.

Australian living in Slovakia here. Definitely agree on the sweetness factor. It is also the same with Vinea, which others have mentioned here. I am not a soft-drink person really, but it is more refreshing by virtue of not having such a sw

Nice setup. A while back I moved to Arch with Xmonad, dmenu, tmux etc, but for about a year now, my workstation has been the same tools on top of Ubuntu Server. I have an Ansible playbook that I can apply to a fresh install and have almost

Thanks for the heads up on the consultation process. Just sent my email.

What do you mean by computer nerd neck? I do shrugs, which hits the traps, but I find my neck is a bit thicker too. Front squats isolate the quads more - I prefer to do back squats, then isolate smaller groups with quad extensions and hamst

Throw a few heavy deadlifts in there. You'll develop some hard glutes.

I wish I knew about this when I wrote Scala (albeit briefly). It's one of those "ill posed problems" when debugging - what is the implicit from a third party library that is not in scope that makes this work?

There is also the Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes (CDK). If you want to try a stripped down version on your local machine, kubernetes-core can be installed into LXD containers via conjure-up with a click of the fingers - nice for playi

Opta data cost is nothing compared to RunningBall (also part of the Perform group). RunningBall is all the real time data - you pretty much can't run an in-game book without it. It practically runs the in-game betting world.

When I was a kid, my parents kept a bookshelf with a vast library of National Geographic issues. I used to read them at random in idle periods, and I specifically remember the Koko's Kitten edition. I never realised that she was still

I remember this happening for chips from the first step revision of Nehalem. When the demand for the i7 920 was way up, there were a bunch of better chips sold as such. Savvy overclockers knew which batch numbers they were and sought the pa

I totally agree. That book was a cut above. The back-in-time view through the Ter'angreal was inspired. I also really enjoyed the prior book, when Mat's luck runs hot leaving Tar Valon.

I loved this series when I was younger. I am still fond of it, but I have read so much more that is better now. It slows to a tedious chore, particularly around the Knitting Circle leaving Ebou Dar with the Aes Sedai. All that is pretty obv

For those interested in the topic, I can recommend Judith Rich Harris' superb book, The Nurture Assumption[1]. It mostly deals with debunking common views on parent->child effects, but includes some material on birth order effects.

Same here. I also use space as my Vim leader, so it feels natural.

Our Go code is built and tested by Jenkins. If green, the build is stored in an artefact repository. Another job is triggered to update the version in Puppet on potentially multiple targets. The Puppet module is responsible for getting the

"Retail" bookmakers are only interested in mugs. If your betting patterns indicate someone who is wise to the market, you will be limited or shown the door. Be prepared to have arbitrage positions pulled out from under you. The ga

Destroy Erase Improve is indeed killer. I also love Amorphis' Tales From the Thousand Lakes.

Amen. Death's Human and Cynic's Focus are on my favourites list. I will add: Opeth - Blackwater Park. Slayer - Seasons (1990). Megadeth - Rust in Peace (1990). Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray. Spiral Architect - A Scepti

I just bought a refurb X230 for pocket change. Threw in a SSD and more RAM, then installed Arch. I can't believe how good it is. I'm going to move to it as my daily driver from a much newer Clevo.

Same here. I love this about Go. A router and you are off and running. It is so simple to wrap handlers with your own middleware for auth, pre-flighting etc.

+1 for value. Unless you are a sales channel, every job can be generalised to creating value. "Value is loosely defined" This is a really worthwhile thing to think about - not only creating value, but levering it up. If you spend

This really saddens me. I spent a week or so on Lady Elliot Island more than a decade ago, snorkelling every day. Because it is a protected area, the fauna are unafraid of people. I would dive down into these cavernous bowls of coral and b

Very welcome news. I discovered after doing a clean flash recently that the ability to have Google Play Services on the phone but disabled, became unavailable. I used to use it exclusively for Signal - it meant no push notifications, but I

This is how I would do it. Take a backup and upload (encrypted) to the cloud. Factory reset in transit. Get where you are going, download and apply. You might need some of your important numbers written down I suppose.
