This is one of the big differences for me coming from germany to the US to visit. Back home I can happily approach a police officer at night while drunk asking for directions and expecting general help and friendliness.…
In my personal experience it can be quite futile in general to deal with customer support. My goto solution is to contact the public relations people instead with the same issue and it usually gets resolved very…
I'm a simple man. I open an article link. I see a signup popup. I close tab.
For leisure travel the US is just not a viable destination any more. There's plenty of other beautiful places in the world. Why deal with all this political insanity...
I would argue quite the opposite. .NET has the most comprehensive set of high quality paid libraries i have worked with so far. Yes they can be expensive, but you get long term support and professional documentation.…
I think it is really sad that affordable furniture has gone down in quality so much. Now I walk into most homes and its full of pressed woodchips in furniture form. When I visit my grandparents old house (who are not…
Rant: Now they just need to get their shit together and get VS2017 to perform at least as well as 2015 again for large codebases or i'm sticking with Rider...
I never get these pieces... I own a couple of different computing devices and they are just tools. Some fit a certain job better then others. Why limit yourself?
As a german i find the economic reasons of "why should we pay for the poor people" highly ironic... That's what we all founded europe for... stronger together!
An orchestra of fellow developer fingers dancing on mechanical keyboards!
This is simply not true. It is pretty reasonable to start a company in Germany and the authorities are pretty lenient and helpful (at least in the big cities). You will need a lawyer and tax consultant though.
Yeah, this is pure semantics. We attached certain names to certain frequencies in western culture and made rules about 'proper music'. It is quite fascinating how culturally influenced we are on what is beautiful sound.…
I was in a similar situation and it was a godsend. Go explore the world, hike, find love. Afterwards you won't believe what kind of energy you will have. It will be like the start of career 'i can do anything' level!
I used a CAT phone for hiking for a while and at first I was quite impressed by the sturdiness (dropped it on rocks multiple meters a couple of times). But there are some design flaws where the connectors are just…
There is a couple of ways to do it. From storing your conditions in meaningful variables outside the conditional to pattern matching and more. If conditions aren't the only branching operators.
I always wonder how these "five conditions ANDed together in an if" make it past code review in general (i know thats not where the actual bug was). I don't care how brilliant a programmer you are, but mistakes in those…
Since I discovered the Aeron stool (http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/stools/aeron-st...) + standing desk combo for me years ago my back just thanks me every day!
I deleted my Facebook account when I started tracking my time for productivity reasons. For me it was a MASSIVE destruction of man hours just idling around reading nonsense. Against my worries meaningful social…
There was no manager above at that point. I loved to do it because it was super efficient for me. You get into the office when some problems had already came up and people already had tried a bit of effort to solve them…
I have worked on a noon to midnight in office schedule for long periods of time and noticed most people sharing the office with you take it psychologically as noon to five even when you are actually in office 50% longer…
Paired with socked sandals ofc...
As a German tourist the most annoying thing getting into Canada is to wait in line while all these other nationalities get questioned extensively before being waved through in 20secs. Wear your bright colored gore tex…
I agree. Asynchronous programming is orders of magnitude easier to grasp than concurrency. Especially in low lock scenarios. Interlocked.Increment(yourPost) :P
Interesting trivia: If you are from a foreign country and come to Germany to study in the universities, you also pay only that amount. There is a lot of diversity here nation wise in the universities. Education is…
In Germany you also have to account that your employer by law has to pay into your non employment and retirement funds. This is about 21% of gross income on top. If you make 100k, your employer pays out 121k. They also…
