Insanity

Similar here, about 30euro per month for unlimited bus travel, but not just inside my city, it's for an area covering about half the country. (Bus- and tram lines)

I did not mean to imply that they have to be bad because of a higher frequency. But I am saying that it is possible that they are. All I wanted to do was point out that quality matters as well, and no…

Also not unimportant, the quality of said novels. 2 shitty novels a year versus one praised novel every 10 years.

I'll have to check that out, thank you!

Same ranking for me here. At home I use Linux and would never go back to the alternatives but at workI had to use Mac and Windows. If Mac did not have a good terminal (iterm2 is what I used) then it w…

Happy that someone pointed out the obvious. Was going to post a comment almost identical to yours :-)

Thank you for the link! Anything sure is bound to be better than nothing, I limit my sessions to 1 hour but alternate between doing an hour of constant excercise at a slower speed (I'm a swimmer)…

Do you happen to know if the crucial thing here is "regular" excercise? As in, is it in important to spread out the excercise over the 5 days? Would doing the 2h30 min excercise over say, 2 …

I was not trying to compare it to slack. I was merely pointing out that IRC does not need to mean "plain IRC". I have been using Slack for about a year now at work and I think it's grea…

Only if you use plain IRC. If you use something like irccloud, that is prevented. Which can be thought of as a "webwrapper" for IRC. I have been using it for some time now and I enjoy it. (I…

I like IRC, recently started using irccloud. That makes sharing files easier, also keeps a history of the irc channels you are in, and makes it look more pretty. It's a combination of both worlds…

Never had that happen to me - but what I did encounter is that it is explicitely stated that tipping is not necessary and that the service is counted for in the bill. But those are unique instances I …

My G9x mouse. I got it shortly after release, so it is about 8 years old now. It is still going strong and the most comfortable mouse I have ever used. There is nothing that I dislike about it - apart…

Belgian here - I do tip but as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it's not part of our culture. And I leave mostly small tips, nothing comparable to the US.

I do - when it is for a food delivery. If I order pizza or something, I'd tip something small to the person delivering it. I'm from Belgium, so we do not have a tipping culture either, and i…

This is a great idea, absolutely love it! It's a great gift for couples who like to read thought I would not just personalize any classic and read it that way. As an avid reader, this is somethi…

I might just have to give that a try then, thank you!

I don't really understand what you are trying to say, sorry :/

> IDEs written in Java are wildly slow… My favourite IDE to use today is IntelliJ, and I prefer it over my experience with Visual Studio (though to be fair, I did not use VS intensively in the past…

I currently work as a Java Dev, but the first language I really learned to use was C#. I don't use it often anymore as I am on a Linux machine at home - though I did try running it with Mono some…

Even though you did not mean to say so, I would actually agree that the UI of gitlab is not great either. GitHub's UI/UX is better than Gitlab imo.

Well as they say, happiness is in the small things :-)

The new header does create an unpleasant display to be honest. The colour is "too strong", but that is highly subjective and some people might like it. As for me, I just installed your plug…

Yup, I had the same for Jedi Knight, Counter-Strike, Left4Dead. With Left4Dead I had it particularly bad, when I would walk to school in the morning - still half asleep from playing until late the nig…

I have in recent months become increasingly aware of this, and have taken steps towards being more private online but I am not completely there yet. Though I do run Linux, stay shy of social media and…

It was a nice read, and I like the way the idea was presented. But one thing that stood out to me as kind of odd was the distinction between typing lowercase and uppercase characters. Automatically a…

Not that much, it was about 15 Euro IIRC. I'd need a damn good reason to spend more than $50 on one. And though there are many good reasons, none of them have applied to me so far. :-)

I disagree with saying "Not a serious programmer" but I would say his blog is not a "serious programming blog". As far as I remember, his blogposts were not _that_ technical in nat…

Once you get one, it is really hard to go back to a non-mechanical keyboard. And quietness is quite important for anyone working together with other people. That is why at work I use a keyboard with M…
