Cycling is more fun than running for me but exactly because of all the reasons you mentioned I prefer running over cycling. What I also realized is that nothing works as good as running (at least for me) for weight loss if you also change y

I got my iPhone 5S (The 5S replaced my 3GS) when it was released and I'm still using it. The only problems I have are a little bit of yellow tint on the screen and the battery not having full capacity. Maybe I got really lucky with bot

This is one of the main reasons I avoid buying anything from Marketplace sellers on Amazon. One can argue if it is right or wrong but you can't expect the same level of service which you are used from Amazon for Marketplace sellers. Co

I replaced Siri with the Sleep button since the keyboard shortcut to lock/sleep your MBP doesn't work anymore. :) (If anyone is interested: Finder > View (press Option key) > Customize Control Strip)

I have worn monthly contact lenses for almost 9 years without problems and switched back to glasses couple months ago because my eyes got tired and itchy too fast in front of the computer at work (I'm a front end dev so I spent most of

I understand your point of view but I think it depends highly on your individual use case. I also drive to work by car but I carry around my MBP a lot at work. We have lots of workshops, hackathons or code reviews where it makes a huge diff

I couldn't agree more. Especially this part really makes me smash my head against the wall: "Instead of 16GB of RAM as found on the Apple, I configured with 32GB (you can go up to 64GB if needed). By default, it comes with a 6GB N

I'm in the same boat like you. For example I would love to see where my ancestors come from but I also have privacy concerns. (I would be willing to pay more for an anonymous service.)

Imo you are missing the bigger picture here by clinging on the meaning of the word "abuse" and the timesheet example. However, if you are happy keeping timesheets knock yourself out. For me this is a big issue and if you think it&

@Retric: Exactly my thoughts. Amazing how you could express it in one short, concise sentence! :)

Meh, if you want to go to the extremes there is no limit. I agree with what you said but it's completely out of context and I don't see how it is related to the topic. In my eyes, it's relative to you or the situation in whic

I left a company with great work/life balance but rather average or even low salary after 2 1/2 years for a startup but after a month into the job they introduced those stupid stopwatch JIRA plugins to measure time spent on ticket

I banished misery from my life sometime in my early twenties. Could you please elaborate? I don't mean any personal details but maybe which methods or books etc helped you achieve that?

Yeah I was also thinking about how the word "diet" is used. If it's one of those weird things like "you can eat as many eggs as you want as long as you don't eat anything else" then I think it's utter bull

One of the reasons this works is because your body has enough time to feel sated. At least it works like this for me because if I eat fast I will be able to eat much more than if I ate slow. I think it also helps with digesting since you ch

I don't want to argue that the government can help to raise awareness but isn't it more like personal choice in the end? I'm not obese but with a BMI of 27.8 definitely overweight. How is anyone else is going to help me to lo

You are welcome. https://www.xing.com/ is very popular in Germany at least. Sadly I don't have any numbers on how they do in Europe.

This is absolutely true and was how I found my dream job or more like how a recruiter found my dream job for me. I'm using Xing since I live in Germany but I think it should work similar on LinkedIn. I can understand that if you are st

I bought a used car around 2 years ago and went to the dealer because of a problem and was shocked when he informed me about (obviously after selling the car) what everything doesn't fall under the warranty. It's probably easier t

I think almost anything (depending on the amount) you eat before going to sleep will make it difficult for your body to relax because your stomach will be processing the food. Lately I try to avoid eating a lot after around 8pm.

I agree but the title is quite misleading and has a clickbaity sound to it.

Some people and sometimes I catch myself doing it send a sentence in multiple messages since the message doesn't cost anything compared to a sms where you would definitely try to fit as many characters as possible into a single message

This is really not meant in a mocking way and it could be different on Amazon Germany but are you sure you didn't check this box by accident which tells them to send your stuff as soon as possible? Before I had Amazon Prime I always ma

iTerm2 was my first choice when I joined a company where most of the people were doing all their stuff on the CLI and started my own journey into the CLI. I never looked back since then. Thanks a lot for creating a wonderful piece of softwa

I was about to write the same thing, so true. Even if you are working alone at the moment, doesn't mean that you should glue everything together and end up with spaghetti code.

Thanks for the heads up. This is exactly the reason why I read the comments first before moving on to the article. :)

This is so true. It's human nature to take everything for granted. I need to constantly remind myself that even though I'm not rich, my salary as a frontend developer is definitely way above average. On top of it I work for a big

I wouldn't say that jQuery is something that should be avoided. It depends on your current experience in JavaScript. I remember that our designer at a former company was preparing the HTML markup and CSS styles for us (mainly JavaScrip

I have Amazon Prime (living in Germany) and when I visited my brother in Turkey, I couldn't watch any TV shows on Amazon Prime due to country restrictions. I know different licences in different countries etc but in the end, it sucks t
