  • This has been common in Sweden for decades, I had it in my previous house almost 20 years ago. If I remember correctly it was a 100m borehole. The only limitation is that certain soil/rock environments work better than others, so it's not suitable for all locations.

    Heated our house in northen Sweden just fine in -20/30C winters.

  • It's a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.

    I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:

    • any and all soft skills
    • version control
    • refactoring
    • testing and the value of testing
    • staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc
  • My experience with my yubikey is that it just works. I know that's not terribly useful info, but it's really all I have after several years of occasionally using it. Oh, it's been on my keychain all that time so isn't terribly flimsy.

  • Python was always strongly typed. For years there has been optional static typing and - you know - unit tests.

    If you're having significant issues due to not knowing what types you're using, the type system may not be your greatest problem...

  • Maybe not quite so much these days. I use Outlook at work, but that's been the limit of my MS contact in tech for a few years now (apart from the odd Teams meeting I've been invited to). It used to be worse in terms of lock in, IMO.

  • I have a brand new Apple product with both a headphone jack and an SD card reader.

    To be fair it only has HDMI and not a VGA connector, and there's no floppy disk drive or serial port.

    Everyone loves to hate.

  • When Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, the UK military who fought them weren't described as a terrorist organisation. Not by anyone with an ounce of sense at least, and certainly not by the islanders who's land and homes had been occupied.

  • I agree from the opposite direction:

    20 years ago I switched to zero drop minimalist footwear for running, hiking, and almost all everyday activities (everything except weddings and funerals). I only wear footwear that has no relation at all to my foot's arch, my weight, or my gait.

    Best decision for my knees, ankles, and hips I think I ever made.
