i think this is a terrible assumption to make. the computer or phone a kid gets from their parents has nothing to do with their curiosity, intelligence, interests or ambitions.

needs more AI! also y no rust?

yes but when i drag the slider i see that 645-700nm is also ff0000.

i don't know how precise it should be..

Ow, yes, the translated titles are so confusing. You think you're getting a video in your language, but no, you don't. It's just a badly translated title and captions.

And don't get me started on those captions! Youtube, please stahp! Why do you keep forcing these? I don't want them, stop pushing them.

Whenever we use Chromecast with multiple people, Youtube enables the auto-translated captions. So, we turn it off, next video youtube turns it on again, we turn it off again, next vid, it's there again. arrgghhhhhh

yes, i tend to agree with the passion-part of this.

use your free time to do things that excite you, things that motivate you.

a job is a job. you need it to pay the bills. if you can do a job that pays well and you can work in reasonable comfort, appreciate it. there a terrible jobs out there, be glad you don't have to do those.

but you also need passion to avoid getting burned out. if you can't find it in your job, find it in your life, in your hobbies, in your relations.

your job should just be a means to an end. it should support your private life: food, a roof over your head, security and your passions.

maybe visit a therapist to work out what triggers and excites you.

a change of scenery (changing your job) might help for a short while, but unless you work on the underlying issue, the problem will catch up and follow you around.

you are not playing "against" the simulator. you are playing "with" a simulator.

the definition of game is "an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun." => it does not require win-conditions. i prefer games that allow me to be creative. having lose-conditions interferes with that.

most important is to come from a place of respect and to talk about the issue, not about the person. it should be about solving the problem together. never about pointing blame.

when i was still stuck in relationships that didn't work, most discussions were always about "who did (or did not do) what and why that was terrible". these days we talk about what problems we face, what we tried, how they didn't work and ask each other advice on how to deal with the situation.

i had to learn to be more humble and own up to my faults (that was hard). i also had to learn to reign in my temper when i was getting frustrated. (that felt impossible, but turns out to be easy when the discussions are not personally directed)

and another thing that has a huge impact on our communication: we validate, compliment or appreciate each others efforts constantly. we talk more about the good stuff than about the bad stuff, and that really makes a difference.

and lastly: allow each other personal space when needed

i know this is not really "new knowledge". every talk or tutorial about communication will tell you similar things. but it is what works for us.

i hate this argument so much! it has been thrown in my face soooooooo many times... it's the go-to excuse managers and sales people use to tell a woman in IT that she's weird for doing what she does. even in teams with 90% men, it was almost never the men in the team that were the problem, but almost always those looking in on the team: managers, sales people, marketeers, project managers, journalists, ...

please, stop telling women they are weird for wanting to work in IT or for enjoying their IT job.

Often because they don't have the required knowledge in house, so they hire consultants. And consultants will propose "safe" solutions = solutions that look good on paper and are easily defendable or quantifyable.

It's easier to defend a huge company like SAP, MS or ... than an unknown underdog. Even more so when that big corp often invites you to tech nights and similar learning opportunities whereas small opensource projects have no marketing budget to swoon, wine and dine those consultants.

I also want to brag about Tax-On-Web for Belgium. Development started over 15 years ago, it's been steadily improving over the years, it even works for linux users, it already fills in all tax details they already know (like wages)

I love it!

"Besides, everything seems to suggest that Firefox will be out of the market in the next couple of years"

yeah, that's what they've been saying about Linux for over 15 years now. i wouldn't bet on it. we, the FOSS community, will always need a non-commercial browser that embraces the open source core values.

hey, you might wanna change your website a little bit then. it's not obvious right now.

i clicked on the link of your site, and the first box i saw said "9$/month". that's enough to click away (for me).

only after i did some more clicking and followed an external(!) link to the store it was obvious you can do a one-time purchase.

in a normal situation i would never have gotten to that point and would have clicked away immediately after seeing 9/month for a new product that still has to prove itself and doesn't have a big name behind it.

yeah, indeed, strange.. I always use Gimp in those situations. I'm fairly fluent in Inkscape and cropping images is not something I would use it for.
