Yes, I am completely with you. I always hated these arbitrary algorithm tasks that have nothing to do with the actual job. With the experience of hosting multiple job interviews I prefer to do a task that is close to the job, but keep it op

Yeah, Europe is different here, as we have social security from the state. In Germany you get continued pay by your health insurance (a certain percentage of your usual salary). It's far easier to do things like this when the state hel

It's not the same as tuples and records. You can do the following with them: const first = #{a: 'b', c: 'd'}; const second = #{a: 'b', c: 'd'}; first === second // true So no

Not really. It can still be a walled garden if there is an opt out option, so you can still be able to be inside it but with the option to go out of it and be able to sideload/use different app stores. Also the Apple app store will def

Using different browsers and setting them as default is already possible in iOS. They are just forced to use WebKit as the rendering engine instead of Blink or Gecko.

Emojis are just Unicode characters, why would it be so hard?

I know this means more Chrome. I'm a heavy Chrome user because of the dev tools that are great. At least chrome has good support for web standards compared to Safari. Why can't it work again? I mean the W3 works, doesn't need

Don't know if it will be bad. Apple still can make this securely. It doesn't mean that the system needs to be completely open, just that apps need to be able to access hardware features. NFC for example can be asked upon like GPS

I don't think so. The EU market is pretty huge and financially strong. Maybe they will only allow sideloading and payment freedom for the EU with special iOS builds.

No, it's good news! No more forced crappy webkit browser engine in iOS. The other things can be added in a secure fashion as well. Sideloading doesn't need to be wild west. macOS also makes it possible with certificates etc. Messa

The Ukraine example might be true for a non-european country, but as a European in these times I want to be informed. I want to help refugees and the victims of war (either by donating or giving shelter for some days). If I wouldn't kn

But you can't verify that the content behind this URL was the same all the time. How can you enforce rights in a court if you can't prove that the content was the same.

And even that works way better in physical form. For concerts I still order hardcopy tickets, because I collect them to go through them and remember what bands I have seen live and relive that memory. A digital NFT wouldn't give this j

The thing is, that the NFT is just worthless data as long as you don't know what's behind it. And if the people that currently do no longer believe in NFTs the nodes will disappear and your data stored on the blockchain is gone as

And how do you want to prove that the copy you made had the same content that was stored behind the URL? What if the host changes the content behind that URL to something completely different. No one can prove that it's actually the th

Germany privatised telecommunication in the 90s (was done by German Post before) including all the infrastructure (which was a really bad idea in hindsight). Most of the infrastructure is in the hand of the former state business and they wa

I started to use my Canon EOS 80D DSLR as a webcam. Canon finally release drivers in November. The image quality amazing. It's also a bit overkill though to use a (back then) 1400€ camera to act as a webcam (also hard to compare with d

I live in Berlin in an area that has many parking cars. I rarely hear an alarm go off. Maybe 2-3 times a year, if at all. I also only know this from anglo-saxony media.

Of course we don't need panic. People should go to their family doctor first (and before going there just call, mine now only works with appointments for flu like symptoms). Here in Germany doctors can also give out a sick leave over t

The people you know don't matter. The goal is not to overburden the health system. Hospitals have a limited amount of intensive care units. And if Covid patients fill them up doctors need to do triage (that happened on the first wave i

It has. I have 100mb/s in Berlin. Seems that his street is not connected well, or he lives too far away from the distribution node, there is also 1gb/s cable in some streets.
