Yes, it's not "scientific", but generally categorizes people with similar behaviour quite well. If you know your classification then there's a fair chance that there are more people that have same problems as you and giv

Such behaviour can be hardcoded for certain types of personalities and is not bad per se. You're just trying to achieve something that isn't compatible with your personality. I'd perhaps recommend doing an MBTI personality te

Your boss is probably just trying to buy some time to find a replacement. I've seen this happen numerous times. You'd probably end being at same position for some more time (meanwhile the other company finds their employee elsewhe

I'm using Mint with Cinnamon on my main laptop. It works reasonably out of the box including rather great multimedia support. I've used Debian for more than fifteen years and I wouldn't go back, at least on desktop. These new

Open office is a deal breaker for me, because it simply underlines the ignorant approach of the company towards their employees - especially coders. I have yet to see someone that performs better when constantly distracted or interrupted. S

I'd say that if it's regular contract, you pay the tax in the country where the company resides (+ social / health tax). Freelancing is different and the pay is taxed in the country where you reside.

I've had E30 and E34. While the technical level and overall comfort was very nice, they were terrible rust buckets. Their current models can be fun though. Eg., try to change headlight on E70 (yes, you're going to need a hoist and

I've been on several SSRI/SRNIs. These shitty drugs made everything only worse to me (Paroxetine, Venlafaxine, Escital, etc.) From top of my head: - Constant diarrhea - Heightened anxiety - Trembling hands - Gastrointestinal probl

I feel threatened when I see police guys nearby. I was fined in my early twenties, because I just turned around my car where it was possible - it didn't happened on the street and police officer told me that I have violated the law. I

I know that they maintain a nice museum over there. Thoreau's books were translated into most European languages and frankly, his writing influenced me a lot during my early twenties.

I'm fan of Thoreau and I live in Europe. I don't understand how exactly he shaped America? During the "Walden" period he lived simple, frugal life and invested his time into things he cared about (eg., measuring the dept

Well, it's more complicated than that. Your hand will start to tremble uncontrollably when someone looks at you. Your face will blush, your legs will start to shake. You might eventually go and vomit. Elevator filled with people is of

Honest answer: Yes a serious problem. Two years ago I've had panic attack in the elevator and I was just technically unable to go into office where I worked (I've had a good job and I was content there). Doing ordinary things like
