I've seen the interviews at the AfD rallies. "They're not afraid to say climate change is fake". "They're going to kick out the refugees". "They're going to fix the retirement pensions". &qu

The sad thing is... when the ULEZ went into effect, there were some wild conspiracy theories about it. Suddenly even my father was an expert and viewed it as sinister government intervention - all because of youtube crackpots. I couldn&#x27

My wife is T1 diabetic and has the Tslim pump. When there is an occlusion at the infusion site insulin stops being delivered and blood glucose goes high. It never occurred to me that a pump might fail in a way to give her too much insulin..

The city has 3m people according to the article. Even if only 10% are tax payers... all they need is a little over $10 per tax payer to equal the donation. I mean the donation is cool. And will hopefully get the residents thinking about how

I tried the rolling clothes thing. And it does work. But as I got older, I found using packing cubes to be better. This way things have their place and you know where to find something specific.

I interviewed at Palantir London about 10 years ago. I am based in Europe and one of the younger interviewers let-slip that they will all be working during the local public holiday. lols. No thanks. Also, I grew up in a mixed ethnic environ

This worked really well for me at work. A new text file for each day, so I could explain what I did/plan to do during standup. I struggle at home though. Because there's not as much pressure to do one task until it's done...

I once interviewed at the London office of a US based company. The best part was when they took me to lunch... I asked the young American what he was going to do on the long holiday weekend. He said they have to work. Lol. No thanks!

Hobby projects on super old / free hardware was/is fun. I remember using dumpster desktops as a student. I could SSH to my home PC from school. Ran a webserver. Even wrote C code to generate HTML for a website to host my photos. F

Doesn't any web request need a source IP address? So I'm sure Google can infer who you are. Or atleast your household. Plus, even if you used a Trusted^TM VPN, if the authorities want to know who you are, chances are they can find

I've seen a few stories of murders where the "smart" criminal turned their phone off during the exact window the crime took place. That and being seen at the scene of the crime was used as evidence. So the intent part is defi

My wife is also T1, diagnosed a couple years back with a week in ICU. She pulled through and now has a CGM and pump. What really surprised me was her blood sugar rockets up when she has video meetings with a certain difficult colleague. Whi

Sorry about the confusion. Games QA tends to pay around minimum wage. So similar to working in a supermarket. Testing any other software tends to pay atleast double minimum wage. But less than a developer salary. Obviously this is a very g

Sorry to hear about what happened to your daughter. I read a really terrible story years ago, a daughter was sunbathing in the driveway on a lounger, father comes home and parks... on his daughter, who is then paralyzed. *Edit, found the ar

In games QA, the deadlines are fixed and development creeps into QA time. So you get less QA time than you originally planned. If you're lucky, a patch will fix some bugs. In non-games QA, if development takes too long, you typically g

This is really interesting to read. I had a conversation with my wife a few years back, about how a lot of things that are deemed acceptable or situationally appropriate are cultural. And sugared-breakfast-cereal vs real food came up. My co

Why do apple charge a premium but give the lowest storage and ram they can get away with (at least for the base models)... I would genuinely like to know. Especially now that it's all onboard. If I was charging through the nose I'

I tried Google Bard. It's hilarious. You ask it a non-trivial question... and it starts to give incorrect or contradictory answers within the same conversation. And if you correct Bard, well it just apologises and says "I am still

Yeah, after a few years of Reddit, I started calling this kind of thing "internet advice"... ok for a discussion, but often contradictory or wrong (if I happen to know the topic in depth). For example, people give advice to grown

My wife is a Type 1 diabetic. Here is some interesting complexity: She has a continuous glucose monitor on her body that tells the insulin pump how to dose her basal insulin. Basal insulin is the background dose that you have continuously d

That's a shame and makes me sad. I once saw my father furiously smacking the screen of the new laptop I brought him. It had stopped working. I quietly explained that the power light is off and he's not hooked up to the wall... yup

23 years or so of lost knowledge can be regained in the grand scheme of things. But yes, the lack of easy access to coal and oil would be a problem. Maybe the next civilization will be more careful. That's why I think we should all be
