Yeah I would recommend this too. I've only used Dell Optiplex Micro series, no issues so far. They use external PSU similar to those in laptops, which helps with power efficiency. Something with 8th gen i5 can be had…
The market definitely sucks in EU too. A couple of years ago I could choose where to work as a junior dev. These days as a senior I'm happy to cling into my current job, and probably couldn't find anything if I got laid…
I agree. As far as human interaction goes, school taught me that to anyone who is different has no rights, and that to become successful and popular you should aim to be a bully who puts others down, even through use of…
Climate change has the potential to radically change weather patterns, possible causing severe disruptions to global food production. If that happens, I guarantee you the likelihood of a world war will be even higher…
Banning phones is simpler, and has no downsides. You are at school to learn, you don't need a phone or tablet for that. Besides, lots of things can be addictive and distracting. Personally I'm addicted to reading news.…
Not really. I'm yet to see statistics which show highly educated migrants who come for work causing major issues. It's only a particular type of migration that causes issues with crime.
The problem is not immigration or too many migrants, but rather the fact too many of them lack educational background you need to be successful in modern Western society. Mostly it's young men who arrived as asylum…
I agree. Historically Russia has only respected force. Showing them enough force is the best way to encourage them towards serious negotiations.
It sure beats burning coal, oil or gas.
Society (and parents) still should have some responsibility on educating young people about career prospects of different degrees. Too many in older generations think any degree will land their children a job, and thus…
For the vast majority of the population it was impoverished even before Castro.
Cuba is a pretty popular tourist destination, if nothing else. Cigars and rum are pretty big exports too. Definitely in another league compared to Haiti, as even communism beats anarchy.
There is some dispute on whether all those accusations were true, or politically motivated slander. Sure he did evil things by our standards, but there's no certainty whether he was that much worse than other rulers of…
To be honest he wasn't that murderous and inhumane by the standards of that time. Back then Europe was ruled by royals who were happy to kill countless of lives in useless wars. Columbus was no better or worse than…
I tried an L-theanine supplement for anxiety. It had a notable short-term effect, but when I was off it my anxiety significantly worsened. Got better once I stopped taking it, so I guess it was a dependency kind of…
I agree. I'm building some internal tools at work, and htmx is awesome when you just want to add a bit of interactivity to server side generated pages. With minimum amount of code I can just update the view by returning…
Yep, what works for one may not work for others. Some people find L-theanine supplement helpful for reducing anxiety. For me it kind of worked, but then gave bad anxiety as a withdrawal symptom.
European social democracies may not be the best if you want to get rich, but for average Joe they offer superior quality of life compared to the US. IMO too much capitalism and socialism both suck, and certain EU…
Good idea. I think kids in high school should also be shown some real stats about monetary outcomes from different degrees. Not BS marketing material from educational institutions, but actual statistics. The whole…
I agree. At least in my country degrees are commonly used to filter applicants for jobs that could easily be done by someone with way lower level of education. That's not a healthy system. A degree should teach you…
While the US system is particularly messed up, it's not that great in Europe either. In my country universities get paid by the government based on number of graduates. Things like quality of education and employability…
Good luck buying a family home as a single mom with today's property prices. Really it's a rich person thing, not available to ordinary women.
I would like to see a future where people shouldn't have to do any work they don't enjoy to make ends meet. As far as I can see, working fast food (and many other badly paid service jobs) is not much different from…
I think CS skills will remain valuable, but you should try to build some domain specific knowledge in addition. Perhaps programmer roles will eventually merge with product owner / business person type of roles.
Nursing is pretty safe too, simply due to demographics and limitations of robotics.
