if you are entitled to using a paid version for free (e. g. students, educators) you cannot opt-out of sharing your code.

That is incorrect. According to the page you linked elsewhere:

For individuals on non-commercial licenses: Data sharing is enabled by default, but you can turn it off anytime in the settings.

(Emphasis mine)

And for all other cases it’s opt-in. No idea how you got from that that you cannot opt-out. It literally says the opposite.

Not in Germany. The amount of vacation is based on the amount of days you work, not the hours. The goal is that everyone should be able to take at least a total of 4 weeks off per year. That means you get 20 days of vacation if you work a regular 5 day week. If you work a 6 day week, you get 24, but that is pretty unusual.

So, if you work fewer hours, that only matters for your vacation if those hours are also done across fewer days. If you only work 10 hours a week, but spread them across all five days, you still need 5 days to take an entire week off, so you still get the 20 days.

But anyway most employers will give you closer to 30 anyway, so the legal minimum usually only matters when it comes to things like transferring to the next year or paying out untaken vacation, because the rules differ there between mandatory and additional vacation days

“only” 20 of those by law, though. Most employers will give you more than that, but it’s not guaranteed

You might have to sign out and then in again. There was a bug with the initial release that caused this kind of behavior

YYYYMMDDHHmm is probably one of the most normal date-time formats

No, it absolutely isn’t outside the tech sphere

Idk know what editor you’re using, but it worked perfectly fine out of the box with IntelliJ. Nothing compared to the hassle of setting up a proper Eslint setup for typescript, honestly.

And I’m not trying to defend python here, I don’t touch that language except under duress, and I do prefer C-style code blocks as well. But this is kind of a pointless argument.

Watching Total Forgiveness on dropout right now, this is very apropos lol

How do you have your shortcuts set up for this? And if you don’t mind me asking, what desktop environment / window manager are you using?

I don’t have any experience with Mega/Mattel stuff so far, so can’t really compare those. From what I hear, the quality of pieces is okay, but not on the same level as Lego and gobricks (the manufacturer that provides the bricks for both Lumibricks and Pantasy, among others).

If you actually want to give them a shot, just make sure you get relatively recent-ish sets (released within the last 2 years or so), as especially Lumibricks has very rapidly been refining the quality of their set designs, instructions etc, and gobricks pieces from before that time also tend to have quite strong clutch power which they’ve softened up by now. It’s really cool to see how quickly things are improving at the high end currently

My recommendation is Lumibricks or Pantasy. They’re not quite 1/3 of the price of Lego, more around 1/2 on average I think, but both offer the best brick quality that you’re going to get from any company at the moment (they use the same supplier, gobricks). They’re also both offering exclusively original designs, so no copied sets or anything like that, and doing a lot of stuff setting them apart from Lego. Lumibricks has light kits integrated seamlessly into every set and goes hard on printed pieces, no stickers anywhere. Pantasy likes using lots of metallic painted pieces, bigger custom molded pieces, and has a few interesting IPs.

If you’re into Technic, there’s also CaDa, and if you want very accurate display models you could look into Cobi. The later is a polish company that designs and produces entirely in Europe, in contrast to any other brand out there, but that also comes with a price tag that’s pretty similar to Lego at this point.

Bluebrixx is definitely around that 1/3 of lego prices. They are hit or miss though when it comes to quality as they use different brick suppliers for different sets, and it’s not always easy to know what you’re getting beforehand.

When have you last tried? The competition has changed immensely during the last couple of years, and there are brands now that have it dialed in just as well as Lego. I highly recommend checking out Lumibricks or Pantasy, those are best in class at the moment, and actually better than Lego in many ways, imo. Or maybe Cada, if you’re more into the Technic side of things

Oh yeah, agreed. I was just irked by the wording a bit

Thinking about work is not the same as working

I mean that depends entirely on what your work is and what you mean by “thinking”. As a designer/developer, just letting thoughts come and go without forcing it during off times is absolutely productive work that gives me a head start the next time I’m back at work “properly” again.

And as a CEO/business owner your job is making decisions for the most part, and thinking about those decisions should better be a big part of that

Unfortunately not. You do get a warning that it’s an unchecked cast at least.

Granted, the issue here is generic type erasure, which was a tradeoff that was decided on for backwards compatibility when generics were first introduced to Java, so it’s not like an actually desirable feature of the language. But the point is that this wouldn’t be reason for anyone to not call Java and Kotlin not statically typed, their type system is just a bit weaker than others in certain aspects

I get your point, but that’s not a great example. Kotlin is a statically typed language, and this compiles (and runs!) just fine:

val test: List<String> = listOf(1) as List<String>
println(test) // prints "[1]"

Even val test: String = 1 as String will compile, but at least gives you an exception at runtime, which the equivalent typescript wouldn’t.

There are tools that can change the colors of your screen to simulate different kinds of color blindness, that makes it pretty easy to test for the basics. I’ve been using this one in the past: https://colororacle.org/

But in general, it’s also just a good guideline to never rely only on color to communicate important information, and always also have a graphical or textual cue to go with the color.

It doesn’t need to be the latest android version per se, but I wouldn’t want to use a phone that’s not getting security patches anymore
