Ah, I started working at a co-working before the pandemic. Where I am currently (Spain) there's been different levels of lockdown. The co-working is open, but with a lot of the usual activities h…

I cannot recommend a co-working space enough. My life improved so much since working from a co-working. I looked for a place that shared my work/life style and I've made friends, we share lu…

I wanted to listen to it but couldn't find it on Spotify or Youtube. Where did you listen to it?

What does HM stand for?

I think the author means that those business create value, whereas domainparkers don't

then the problem is the court not understanding the technology. If you are using the domain just for email then sure, that's a valid use case and you can claim the domain is being used

Venezuelan here. It's not useful because you need actual money to buy food. People want US dollars because they trust them and can use them to buy things inside and outside the country. Crypto ad…

Why would Brazilians cut down more forest if the demand for crops goes down (since a lot of the crops are currently fed to livestock)? I don't know what they'll do with the areas already cle…

FPI?

As a game developer I can tell you that while there are problems in many companies and part of the industry can be toxic it is not always the case. Not sure even if it's that much different to ot…

yeah, I've already started hearing the "but all the side effects from the lockdown are worse". Which of course dismisses all the non-death side-effects from covid.

The thread is explicitly about side projects that don't make money

Let's wait until it's actually implemented. Also, there was nothing stopping having that promised worldwide scheme before

given your interest in tech and not being used to fiction maybe try some science fiction short stories? I'd recommend Issac Asimov's short stories. The robot series for example: https:/…

I'd advise you try to not think of all reading as something that needs to "improve" something in you. We do many things just for pleasure; we go on holiday, we have friends, we eat dess…

You ask them about a previous project they've worked on, or a problem you currently have and take it from there. You are bound to hit interesting problems where you can ask them what they would d…

100% agree. I come from a country with strong currency controls, US/EU sanctions, no access to international credit cards or money, and an almost 1000% inflation rate. No one cares about crypto c…

sure, I can agree, but surely a form of money that fluctuates like crazy and needs people to read books about it to understand it is not going to convince the people that need this kind of system the …

I use Perforce everyday since it aligns better to the needs of the games industry. I have my problems with it, but once you understand it I find the workflow quite simple. If you don't really nee…

HRTF is now quite common with VR games since it's guaranteed that you'll be using headphones. I've had to implement it for a couple of titles and the result is quite nice as the audio p…

> Other parts are quite simple and well worth picking up, e.g. liberal use of typedefs honest question, why do you think liberal use of typedefs is a good habit to pick up?

oh yeah, that sounds painful as well! My experience in the UK and Germany (as a EU citizen and pre-brexit UK) has been that you get there and that's it, you can rent a house you can register with…

> The government ID process is a breeze in comparison with other EU countries and quite cheap in comparison, too. That's true for the spanish national's ID (the DNI) but for foreigners, e…

Absolutely, that's what I meant with my last comment. It's framed as a collaboration to see how you think but that's not what really happens. It's all about jumping through hoops a…

>> “Hmm, I wonder if I could … … … no, never mind, I’ll just do this instead.” I can either think OR talk, I can't do both at the same time. I can happily think and THEN talk but when I…

"Round to nearest even is the default IEEE rounding mode. This means that 5.5 rounds to 6, and 6.5 also rounds to 6" Does anyone know the reason behind this? why the nearest even and not a h…

Galician Spanish? Do you mean Castillian Spanish (which is another name for normal spanish)? Galician is a separate language

But that's not the case here, Barcelona is a bilingual city. The average population speaks both Catalan and Spanish.
