Welcome to Scandinavia!

We hope you enjoy your stay.

Who on earth has a "Cooler screen preference" (refering to the statement on their website)?

Truly a first world problem, and another things we don't really need...

The only redeeming quality is that they apparently "Drive TikTok'ers nuts" according to Businessinsider...

Another aspect is "is the output good enough for what it's meant to do?"

We don't need "originality" or "human creativity" - if a certain AI-generated piece of content does its job, it's "good enough".

Well, the idea of microservices would be to build some degree of flexibility into the setup, so that you can handle problems you don't have now, but you might have later.

I understand that the Monolith - if done right - is a viable option as well.

As a consultant, our customers rarely know what they want, and they can't really describe their vision, no matter how many workshops we throw at them. Microservices give us the opportunity to say "We might not know this now, but with this architecture, we won't be locked into a certain pattern or meet certain technical limitations by a monolithic approach".

It seems that what you are really paying for with microservices is flexibility and maneuverability "down the line".

Solving only the problems you have "here and now" with the simplest solution will also lead to technical debt.

Because no customer wants to write a blank check.

If you don't know if its 500 or 5000 hours - you're simply not buying the product.

This has also happened in Denmark.

It's hard not to feel a little apathetic about news like this.

I love my children, but I'm not sure how I will be able to explain the world/my involvement in the world to them once they grow old (both are below 2 years as of today).

As an individual, I feel like I have no way of leaving the "rat race" while still being able to sustain our lives financially...

Same aesthetics as A-ha's "Take on me". Even with the flaws, I can see how this can simply be used with that exact aesthetic in mind, without the need for any improvement.

Is this data not polluted by the skyline? Or does it somewhat take buildings/the skyline into account, and correct for the shades of these objects?

I could. I don't have the most fancy job. A lot of internal/external communications. I work with words. I could easily use ChatGPT to generate a lot of my content, and save time by simply proof reading.

A lot of smaller marketing-agencies would be able to automate the generation of bullshit ad-copy for all their smaller clients, seeing as quality in that area is low in general.

There are so many jobs what could benefit from the use of ChatGPT. I know enough coding to formulate a prompt that helps me build small scripts. I got ChatGPT to build me a Scrapy-spider the other day.

Who says you're not just using it wrong?

I think it's a false assumption that because YOU can't use it for productivity-efforts, no one can.

No one is getting shot. But it definitely affects peoples lives.

Try to look up how financial security affects health.

As a Notion-user, this just seems excessive to me.

I love Notion because it gives me the ability to make "lightweight" notes/pads fast. I've since learned to utilize the linked database features which makes it easier to organize notes, tasks and projects.

At some point however, it feels like it just becomes busy-work to make new boxes to check, new links, relations and what-not.

To me the beauty is in the simplicity, cross-platform capabilities and relative ease with which I can create and access simple notes fast.

EDIT: I forgot templates. I use 2 or 3 templates for notes and "new projects". I never use more than 5 columns for my projects/notes either. And I don't have any "dashboards" besides my task-list (that I can sort as kanban with four status-indicators - basic stuff).

Well, this is how business works today. Management want something that's both safe and efficient which by default ends up being dull. So how to you win? Quantity. More words. More blogposts. Higher frequency. Please the algorithm. Doesn't reeeeally matter if people are reading your post.

I hate that I'm only a communications professional. I feel like there are no stable career in my field anymore. All I want to do is to learn something STEM-related. Oh if one had the time and money (and no responsibilities).

We are working with a 4-hour session-span, 4 times a year with facilitated exercises and discussions. We have a pretty exclusive position in the market, and will thus charge a fee for attending. Most likely, people will get the fee covered by their employer. It's not a personal network, but a professional/invite-only network (for now!).

People who attend are invited and are using the same piece of software (something similar to an ERP-solution)

Thanks for your input!

It's all fun and games until someone spills their hot coffee from the upper level.

What's the point here?

The spiders...

You should make a personal website, and just copy-paste this post onto it. Would be a bold statement!

I don't think giving them money should be about "getting people back on track" or anything similar. It's just to give them money for a beer, a burger or something to ease their day. Personally, I think there will always be people who doesn't fit into society. It's easier if we don't expect them to open a savings account with the 20 bucks we gave them, and just realize that it goes towards getting drunk/getting something to eat to numb the absolute mess their lives might be.

I'm just stating the facts. But let me explain how the educational trajectory looks like. Sorry I don't know the correct terms for all the different levels of education. But here goes:

Age 2-6: Daycare/kindergarden

6-16/17: Grade School (folkeskolen)

16/17-19/20: High School (gymnasiet)

19/20-20/23: One or two years off where people work/travel/move out from their parents etc. (as you can see, we're close to the 22 year average here)

20/23-25/28: 5 years of university - add one year for the standard extra interships and you have 6 years of university

Fastest possible way: Start school at 5, skip 10th grade, just straight to High School aged 15, finish high school aged 18, straight to university and study for 5 years (fastest possible degree in the regular system), and you're 23 by the time you get out of the system.

With stores like Toys'R'Us shutting down in UK, the market for Amazon will grow bigger I guess. More and more traditional retailers will go out of business, and I don't think all of them will be able to pivot to online. And that's when Amazon steps in.

I went through university not knowing how to study, and as a result, I now have a "worthless" degree. One thing is, that the university and the degrees I took was a joke. 3-6 hours of "class" (100+ people crammed into an auditorium), no graded homework or feedback during semesters, and examns was just handing in 12-15 pages of analysis, and then getting a grade on my report sheet. No contact with educators, no counselling, guidance or otherwise interaction with lecturers, educators or other staff at the university. I could sit a home 30 hours a week and still get my "degree". Basically no feedback from the university on how I did, where I was heading etc.

For me, this means I made a lot of stupid choices. For one, I never understood the degree I took, but relentlessly kept on "fighting", as I thought that it _had_ to make sense to me someday. It never did. Swapped studies during my masters, but got into a "soft" IT-programme that didn't resonate with me either. As a result, I never learned to study, because I would get stressed out that the material never really made sense to me. I couldn't connect it to anything in the real world (and perhaps more important to me - no job postings ever seemed to ask for the skills I was acquiring).

Today, two years after i finished with an A+ (I wonder how...), and average grades in general, I have a galloping depression, and just wish that I could do it all over. No doubt I was perhaps immature or used to be a "natural talent" through high school, and therefore thought University was just passing examns. That hurts me a lot, and I have a hard time letting that thought go. I don't think anyone will ever be able to convince me, that the university or classes I went to was working as intended however. In my mind, education cannot solely be based on people reading and writing for themselves.

I wish someone would have shown me a guide like that when I started, and helped me manage my ambitions and performance a bit more throughout university. I'm now a worthless member of society, even though I have a degree. I don't think anyone is happy with the outcome, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one to blame. At least thats what I keep telling myself.

It's not a "good deal" because it's not consumption for the sake of consumption. High drug prices hit those unfortunate enough to be born with a sickness, and some of those people might have a hard time with their lives if majority of their time is spent earning enough to pay their medicine.

However, I like that he then goes on to say that there should be a system that takes care of the people who CANNOT afford the drug (government-funded or a corporate-driven solution of some sort).

The whole business take on medication and health care just seems crazy for a scandinavian citizen like myself.

That's not my point. My point is, that if you have to have the "work-all-the-time"-mindset in order to become a succes and get a stable career (specially in IT), then I think it's a problem. At least it seems like an unhealthy culture where people will be out of jobs because someone else is working 80 hours a week.
