according to the posted website Australia is the oldest, not the USA. Edit: Actually Switzerland seems to be older in their data

> less weight on the plane, less fuel consumed For a plane that's negligible. Tbh, I don't want to sit on a 12hr flight watching a phone screen. I have to hold it on my hand, have nowhere…

I'm not sure. If you can afford to be picky such a large range might be a bit of a red flag. Also, if I'm looking for something close to the top of the range the possibility that I may get a…

I don't think people expect anything for free but I don't want to pay with getting bombarded with ads. If their business model is not viable then they have to find a new one. Just as we can&…

I think that's the best opportunity Firefox has. If they position themselves as THE privacy-first/ad-free browser they could get people back. It would truly be a better experience (specially…

>> for numerical computation there is likely no faster language What does the author mean by this? How can you get faster than any other compiled language like C where you can check the generate…

ok, but the whole grand parent comment is a comparison to the global population. Those global statistics are not self reported, they're official diagnoses so will also be missing "people rep…

You can find companies/projects that while "driven by profit" still make good things, things that genuinely help or enrich peoples' life. You don't have to jump to the other e…

In a similar vein Casey Muratori's The Thirty Million Line Problem is also quite good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZRE7HIO3vk He's also often collaborates with Jonathan…

Thanks for the write-up. Always cool to see how different people solve these kind of problems. I don't know much about cocos2d but since the dots are purely visual, do they need to be game object…

Agree 100%. And the same is true for a lot of other things, they're just not as contentious. Every time I get on a plane I have to trust the science and engineering behind it, I have zero clue wh…

That's funny, in modern spanish I've only ever heard "ballena asesina" (instead of "asesina de ballena") which translates to killer whale. Maybe it went full circle and g…

the one with the flamethrower seems to be a German soldier. Although, not the best picture

I don't get the connection you're trying to make between chavismo and what you call "woke" movement in the US. What happened in Venezuela is not that. Chavez was surrounded by anyt…

In the case of Venezuela that's not correct. Chavismo was definitely not a coalition of mostly upper middle class people. Quite the opposite + very very strong ties to the army.

It is possible, you have to ask for it though. I just did a round of interviews with offers over 100kEUR in GameDev working remotely. All British or EU companies. No leetcode questions, some did take …

I love algorithmic challenges and would even compete while in uni and coincidentally last year I even had to do several topological sorts at my company. But I actively hate and avoid leetcode type int…

why? it's not a binary choice

> I think your confusing Germany with another country, I've never seen a 100 person line for an apartment there Not a 100 person, but at least in Frankfurt it is quite common to show up to a r…

In the case of the article Ubisoft is both the developer and owner of the store

That's a very europe centric comment. As if the only leagues that matter are theirs, the rest of the world will have to adjust.

Not being happy with the status quo and not liking cryptocurrencies are not mutually exclusive. You can "hate" both. My problem with "crypto" is that the industry is so focused on …

sometimes they even have their own website so no need to call! Quite often I get a lower price or free goodies (ie. a bottle of wine) because I skipped booking.com

I think they meant the following of journalists during troubled times

You said this: "Your example is one of a physical good. Of course you don't need an NFT to display a card physically. But what if you want to display it digitally? Your best option at this c…

How's that any different? I can print out a QR code with the NFT info as well and make it "physical". The vaccination certificate is a digital code along with your details to "proo…
