I am a fan of abstraction, simplicity, testing, pragmatism, common sense, understanding the problem, and understanding the entire stack on which you are building. I have a firm belief in the pragmatic value of high quality code and a lack of belief in the existence of magic pixie dust.

Having seen this in person my favorite aspect is the sound it makes, absolutely mesmerizing.
I mean, obviously possible but I suspect that the clumsy translation adds a lot of obtuseness to it. In Swedish it looks straightforward enough that you only need to squint just for a moment when you see "överkast" and…
They're missing an explanation for one of the more famous but subtle IKEA naming puns. "Indira" is at this page says an Indian name and also the name of an India-inspired IKEA bedspread. But bedspred in Swedish would be…

Indeed, but this is representative of a very real change in the relationship between your clocks. The only way to keep this non-surprising is to make the time zone the schedule runs in explicit to the user. If somebody…
Unless you do recurrent scheduling. In that case it's important to understand that you schedule in a particular timezone. Both because the relationship between local time an UTC changes throughout the year with DST…
Not very it would seem given that "pipa" does not mean "pipe" in the sense TPB are using it but rather only in the sense of a "pipe for smoking". A pipe in the sense TPB use it would be "rör". But relating the…
