The feeds should be last on your list of things WW3 might ruin

Yeah I personally don’t like you need an account for everything and data gathering and all but this can be completely anonymous, no marketing, no e-mail phone number anything required.

Maybe link it to your Vivino but only if you want.

Most things computer based, provided you have a feel for it. If you are interested in Business Intelligence, you can learn to work with Microsoft Fabric and there are plenty of companies in the data field that are hiring, offering traineeships etc. Same goes for the more technical data engineering, software development, etc.

I want to run a nice and simple wine bar where wine enthusiasts can get an affordable glass of wine based on my data driven recommendations. I want the place to be a chill hang with music, comfy seats and sandwiches and stuff.

If I had the money I wouldn’t even need it to be profitable.

America doesn’t have a left wing. There’s far right and center right

Most flexible would be to make a PHP form with a MySQL/PostgreSQL database.

If you want an off the shelf solution maybe a Microsoft Power App or a FOSS alternative?

52,50 for 1 Gbps fiber. First half year was 35.

Not saying Copenhagen was all in all a bad experience, had loads of good ones too. It’s just that in my limited frame of reference, Copenhagen was my least favorite. But it was still pretty good. I’ve had bad experiences in restaurants everywhere around Europe. But outside of general businesses, I found that I didn’t like the vibe in Copenhagen. Sure, in restaurants people are nice. In venues if any kind things are good. It’s a prosperous country. But in a way I found that just walking around the city it felt rushed, unkind. Even compared to a larger city like Lisbon.

That said, I didn’t really felt at ease in for instance Catania or Rotterdam either.

I’m European and never left the continent. I found Copenhagen (Denmark) to be one of the least inviting places I’ve ever been. That’s not to say Denmark is like this or even that I didn’t have a good time in Copenhagen. It’s just that pretty much everywhere, people seem to be in a hurry.

But my baseline in Europe is that everything is just amazing. People are nice, accomodating, helpful. Especially in the slightly smaller cities. I especially enjoyed Krákow and Gent.

It’s of course a delicate situation. Hungary has announced it’ll leave the ICC in order to receive Bibi. The EU is toothless in this because it cannot touch the sovereignty of Orbán and Hungary. Orbán has misused the EU for his personal gain more than once, like using sibsidies in order to build a barely used monorail line from nowhere to his home town. He’s been using his veto time and time again to appease Russia. For the EU this is like running in a direction while some jackass is pulling the handbrake.

There are two avenues to walk. One is reprimanding Orbán. The effect will be that he will become even more annoying. With far right emerging in Europe, it’ll be a matter of time before Orbán gets his way. Or, the EU could just let Orbán do whatever he wants. Picking their battles in order to win the ones that really matter.

This means that the EU doesn’t really want to convict Netanyahu in the ICC. Putting him on the list was a gesture but upsetting the status quo is not worth it.

The EU is looking further ahead. Detaining Netanyahu will tense up relationships with an already distancing United States. Trump is unpredictable. He already doesn’t like the EU, mostly because he has certain feelings that cannot be explained through fact. Russia is also unpredictable. The last thing Europe needs is to be in between the US and Russia on the same side. The EU also doesn’t want us to be the terrain of a proxy war.

The only way out of this is to arm ourselves to the teeth so that when global superpowers want to fuck with us, we will have them find out.

Do you see that happening? Yeah me neither.

It’s pretty messed up that these days regular headlines read like The Onion headlines

I wouldn’t say ‘meh’ because I enjoy the recorded music as well but I saw SYML live in a church last Friday and man, that guy can sing! It was absolutely enchanting.

It’s difficult to say, really. It’s a form of acceptance. Accepting that you are who you are, taking things at face value rather than second-guessing everything you hear. I’ve got a decent head on my shoulders and feel more confident in my own abilities.

It wasn’t until I decided to call in sick from work last September. It was not a great winter to get through and taking a long, hard look at myself, my environment and my past was a very painful process.

I’ve been pretty aware of the fact that I was in need of psychological help since somewhere around 2018. Since then I’ve taken one step, in 2018, but didn’t follow through. I muddled my way through my last year of college, graduated, worked at a small publisher for about 3 years before moving to my current employer, moved, had a lot of personal stuff going on…

The step I took last September, to basically hit the brakes, was a turning point for me. But it took until the end of February to actually feel like I was on my way back up.

So in short: it’s pretty much all about confidence. Once you’ve accepted yourself for who you are, you’ll no longer feel like a burden to others. You’ll most likely also realize that people don’t often judge you without telling you stuff. After you’ve had an interaction, there is no need to wonder ‘oh I wonder what they’ll think of me, what will they think of me saying this or that’. Your overthinking will slow down a bit.

Couple of caveats:

• I am very aware of the priviliges I have gotten along my life and I understand not everyone can just call in sick for a year and get full medical support from their jobs, or be able to just freewheel through college;
• I am still a long ways from where I need to be and I’m starting both therapy with a psychologist and something called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in group form.

I have a colleague who actually behaves in a way that I recognized right away. It is something I used to do a lot; talking like I was a burden on others, like the time people spent with me was time lost for them.

It takes finding out a root cause to stop this. Me, I’m a perfectionist. This manifests through me being a people pleaser: I hold myself to really high social standards and expect others to also set the bar high for me. I really don’t like it when people are disappointed by my actions, so that causes me to apologize more than necessary.

I’ve taken stock of my life the last six months and made a lot of progress on this front.

The best thing she can do to change her behavior is acknowledging she has an issue to begin with. As long is she is happy with her current behavior and you are not, the only thing you can do is explore why she feels the need to be like this and see if she can alter her behavior without distancing herself from who she is.

Copenhagen? When I was there I just got the sense that everyone was in a hurry all the time

They have been omitted and registered as technical debt but they went ahead with the release anyway since the CFO’s assistant only needs about half these anyway. For the coming three sprints, we will hire an external dev to finalize the card while it is in production. Any other developments on this will go to the backlog until the release is done.

I think it falls under reckless driving

• IPC
• Instruction set
• Levels 1 through 3 cache
• Performance per watt, usually measured by benchmarking, gives you an idea of efficiency

Generally, you can assume that a newer CPU with a the same thread count as an older CPU will outperform it.

However, you’d have to keep in mind a CPU is a very complex entity comprised of its cores, its cache, its bridges, its controllers and whatever I’m missing. Intel, for instance, would not make any huge changes to architecture every other generational skip. It’s what they called tick-tock. The tick would be a new concept, the tock would be a refined version.

But redesigning the entire chip, ie its lithography, the layout of what is positioned where, all the way down the to smallest detail, will have some effect on performance. It’s difficult to quantify, hence the need for benchmarking tools like Geekbench.

My house costs less than that and now I’m in debt for the next 30 years. And I do quite okay.

Polarising of two or more subservient groups is excellent for people in power. If you create the us-them narrative they’ll be so busy arguing amongst themselves, they’ll have no eye for the ones affecting their misery and changing it.

Now I’m not saying everyone should take to the streets and fight the government immediately, but bashing in your neighbours’s skulls because they drive Teslas and/or voted for Trump is not productive at all. Rather find some middle ground with them and see how to survive the coming four years.
