My GF works with energy infrastructure in Colombia and they have lots of issues with people stealing copper, I didn't verify her claim but she said despite not having natural sources of copper Colombia had significant…
Wehad a junior engineer do some research on a handful of different solutions for a technical design and present the team, he came up with a 27-page document with 70+ references(2/3 of which were reddit threads), no more…
I feel the same way, if all one is doing is feeding stuff into AI without doing any actual work themselves, just include your prompt and workflow into how you got AI to spit this content out, it might be useful for…
He doubled down on his opinion by sharing a sequence of posts from a X account that denounces "woke activism" in the software industry and open source projects. He criticised the political activism in open source…
I also left my home country about a decade ago. I was already expecting a lot of gambling site ads, they took over the soccer tournament sponsorships almost completely anyway. But what I found out when I came back in…
Multiple parties that eventually devolve into a two-party system, for decades it was PT-PSDB until PSDB imploded, now it's PT vs whatever the right/center coalesces into(MDB for decades, PSC after that, now PL). In fact…
Interestingly, I've spotted a few places in Portugal already accepting Pix as a form of payment, catering to a large demographic of Brazilian immigrants and tourists.
Varies by country, but yeah, in general Credit Card options in Europe are pretty bad, here's my research on options in Spain: Sabadell: No fees no perks for CC Bankinter: No fees no perks for CC Ing: No Fees no perks…
Which confused me, as someone from Belo Horizonte who started uni just around that time. As far as I knew, Google was generally known one of the highest paying companies by far back then. It's benefits were unmatched…
Having worked on presentation software, it's more complicated than what it looks like in its surface. First, considering the base/generic case, you can't really beat Powerpoint, Keynote and Google Slides, they are…
Sounds like every startup ecosystem
Because it's easy money(and as others said, to stay employable). If someone created a framework yesterday there are few experts, and they won't judge experts by years of experience, if you're a relatively new FE in the…
Spain salaries can be ridiculous, there has certainly been a boom and some startups are paying well for senior roles as competition heats up, but I consistently get recruiters pinging me with 30-40k openings for senior…
> The people at the end of the line who are flipping NFTs do not fundamentally care about distributed trust models or payment mechanics, but they care about where the money is. This is ultimately the issue, some people…
I picked up a lot of conversational english because the TV Show Friends was on pretty much during the entire afternoon when I was a teenager and I would spend most of my time after school watching it. Since I spent a…
I think it's Google Podcasts, barely any efforts on features for the app, seems like they just made it because there needed to be a podcast app, Keep, while not given much attention by Google, is still easily accessible…
It's very unfortunate that restaurant websites are often so terrible that sometimes they don't even include a proper PDF to check the menu, I can imagine it really makes it impossible for people with special needs to…
It's a matter of perception, especially in poorer countries like Brazil, why would anyone pay money for something that was previously free? Good example of this is WhatsApp, IIRC it was free for a year then charged $1…
Comparatively it's one of the safest cities in the world, as in, its less safe then maybe 4-5 cities in your list? Sure it has a couple of dodgy areas, but I lived in Sodermalm and Kungsholmen and never felt unsafe…
I liked internet history, technology and security: https://www.coursera.org/learn/internet-history It doesn't get very deep in terms of knowledge of networks, TCP/IP stack etc, it's a very lightweight course that's easy…
I've seen it happen at varying levels: Carrefour supermarket opened in my block next to a decades old famously local bakery/grocery store and undercut their prices by more than half, with a focus on infrastructure,…
Same here, grew up and started working in Brazil. Terrible pay, shitty vacation policy(30 days running after one year, including weekends), often expected to arrive early and do overtime, bosses can be very…
I was also invested heavily and still am a little bit even if my usage is decreasing. Wow I loved instagram, first the filters that made people try to be artsy managing to distract people from the fact that early phone…
And maybe not so relevant these days because most pitches are standard size, but years ago football pitches could vary in size, 90-120m in length, and 45-90m in width, maybe in the past even more, I remember some…
I write detailed commit messages for every single commit I make(even though commits would be squashed on merges), I write detailed PR descriptions that included before/after screenshots in multiple resolutions whenever…
