I’d say that the summer months in Sweden are considered to be June, July and August, making Midsummer fall slightly earlier than in the middle of summer. Summer weather lasts for more than that nowadays though, with the weather getting nice in May and lasting a bit into september.

Dinner times in Sweden are generally on the early side, with 16:00 not being unheard of in families with small children, and 17:00-18:00 being a common time to have dinner.

Rookie mistake if I’m being perfectly honest

996 is the concept out of the Chinese tech industry I’m familiar with - from 9 to 9, 6 days a week, totalling 72 hours worked per week.

Product launches are the vehicle for attaining promotions at Google, allegedly. Maintenance does not get similarly rewarded, nor does launching projects and having them live on to actually be successful.

When the launcher got promoted and moved on, they have to figure out whether to keep the thing around, and the answer is generally going to be no since few things can really compete with the infinite money glitch that is search ads.

Their scale was also an insignificant fraction of what Netflix has, making the point even more irrelevant.

The best figure I could find on Jetflicks user count was 37k, where as Netflix has 269 million users.

GissaMittJobb ,

The cost of storage in this case is more or less irrelevant - traffic is what matters here. You’re also not getting any mentionable bulk discount on the servers for that matter.

The key is that you can engineer things in completely different way when you have trivial amounts of traffic hitting your systems - you can do things that will not scale in any way, shape or form.

The demand is basically artificial since there are a limited amount of calculator models that are allowed to be used on tests at universities. Since they can get away with it, they keep charging these prices.

A hug is a standard greeting between well-acquainted men in Sweden, so yeah. I hug my friends and family.

At that point, you’re basically just listening to podcasts. Leaning into it might be a good choice, since there’s no visual element that gets lost when listening to podcasts, as compared to YouTube videos.

Those things sound super great… but they’re of course all meant to keep you working around the clock, meeting deadlines.

This is not going to be universally true at all big tech-companies. There are places with perfectly reasonable WLB on top of huge salaries and fantastic perks.

These places are usually big enough that you’re going to see extremes on both ends within the same company - some departments with huge deadline pressure cultures, and some with highly relaxed work settings. It can be a bit of a gamble.

It’s true that it’s possible to ride all year, even in places with harsh winters.

It’s going to be decidedly less fun, though.

This was enough to tip the balance in favour of taking transit during the months of snow and slush here in Sweden, but I’m also spoiled for choice here. Now I’ve moved and have less of a ride to work, so I think I’m probably going to shoot for biking all year now.

GissaMittJobb ,

I don’t know that I’d use ‘insanely’ as the modifier here as their position has weakened significantly over time, but they do certainly still play a large role in the Swedish labour market.

and is a good way to store excess energy from solar and wind.

Is it really that good of a storage method, though? The round-trip efficiency is quite bad when compared to other methods of storage.

GissaMittJobb ,

There are some use-cases where hydrogen will be useful, but I don’t think storage is one of them. Nor do I think vehicles are a particularly good use-case either, as compared to just iterating on battery technology.

GissaMittJobb ,

It’s hard to assess the validity of those claims as the article doesn’t bring any numbers and the paper itself is paywalled. As the fossil fuel industry is pushing hard towards wedging in hydrogen as a means of keeping themselves alive for a while longer, it’s vital to be able to assess the actual claims, lest they are just planted there by the fossil fuel industry.

GissaMittJobb ,

I don’t see any good reason why the merits of hydrogen for vehicle fuel would be any better than production and disposal of batteries. The other cases I agree that hydrogen will have a useful niche.

I didn’t graduate from university.

In order to get some more money, I decided to take a TA-position at the school.

For context, I live in Sweden - university costs nothing to attend here, and you get access to a mix of governmental assistance and near-zero interest loans (at about 1/3 assistance 2/3 loans) to finance your living costs while attending university. To get this money you are required to get passing grades in a certain percentage of the courses you take, around 75% is required). If you do not meet these requirements, you lose your benefits, and quickly risk not being able to afford food and rent.

This TA-position however took up more time than I thought it would, and as such, I didn’t manage to pass the courses I was taking. Since I no longer met the passing grades requirement, I could no longer get student loans and assistance, meaning that I had to keep working TA gigs to stay afloat. This finally became untenable, and I decided to drop out and move to another city and look for work.

So far, it’s worked out extremely well. I’ve been ridiculously lucky.

GissaMittJobb ,

True random shuffle would be a terrible idea. No one wants the same track showing up multiple times in a row, which would not be uncommon in true random shuffle.

GissaMittJobb ,

Data takeouts are non-optional under the GDPR, so I would be very surprised if that happens.

GissaMittJobb ,

I mean, not really. This is actually a non-trivial topic, and true random is a really bad label for what someone actually wants out of a shuffling algorithm.

See the following engineering blog post on the subject: …atspotify.com/…/how-to-shuffle-songs/

WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

It speaks volumes that all of these problems are car-related. The whole push for WFH is a massive condemnation of how badly people actually feel about the effects of the car-oriented development that the U.S has been spending so much time championing.

As far as I know, this particular arrangement is known as a Completo Italiano, since the ingredients have the same colours as the Italian flag (red tomatoes, green avocado and white mayonnaise).

GissaMittJobb ,

That’s interesting to hear that you put some garlic on the avocados - the Chileans I know don’t do that, but they left the country in the late 70’s. I wonder if this is done by personal preference or if there was a ‘culinary branch’ created from them emigrating.

I’m also a little surprised to hear about the use of ketchup - I would guess that the red sauce was Aji.

(This is absolutely not an attempt to criticize your food, I am of the firm belief that all Completos are awesome no matter what)

Putin has ‘both eyes’ on Gotland, warns Sweden’s army chief (www.politico.eu)

After being demilitarized in 2005, Sweden re-introduced permanent troops to Gotland in 2016, following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014. Sweden also became NATO’s newest member in March — meaning it is covered by the alliance’s Article 5 guarantee that all other members come to each other’s...

GissaMittJobb ,

Given Putin’s long history of violating Swedish airspace over Gotland, I feel like the statement has at least some amount of credibility.

In fact, I would not be surprised if that is a large part of why public sentiment finally swayed in favour of NATO in Sweden after so many years of public sentiment being against the prospect.

GissaMittJobb ,

The article is talking about killing it from a product usefulness-perspective, not a monkey making-perspective.

GissaMittJobb ,

I’ll keep it, cheers

GissaMittJobb ,

I’ve started relying more on AI-powered tools like Perplexity for many of my search use-cases for this very fact - all results basically warrant a pre-filtering to be useful.

GissaMittJobb ,

I don’t disagree, but for obvious reasons, we can’t access Google from a decade ago, since they’ve made it unavailable.

I’m not really describing an ideal state, this is a mere matter of practicality.

GissaMittJobb ,

I think it might have to do with the broad anti-AI sentiment that seems to be present here at Lemmy.

McTechnical?

GissaMittJobb ,

Yeah, they don’t care that senior talent left because that was the whole point.

but doesn’t really help with my impression that there’s something strange in the state of Denmark.

This is what us Swedes have been saying all along.

Popular might be overselling it a bit there, buddy. It exists and some people eat it.

Now kebab pizza, there’s a popular pizza for you. With good reason, I might add - it’s the god emperor of hangover foods.

My most McGyvered solution to create a bootable USB was to take a really old Android phone and make it into one. Worked surprisingly well, actually.

Summit is the best option I’ve found, to replace RIF that I used to use back when I was using reddit.

GissaMittJobb ,

It’s a tool like any other, appropriate under some circumstances and inappropriate in others.

Blindly rejecting it without considering whether it’s appropriate in the context is honestly just as bad as choosing it without considering whether it’s appropriate in the context, fwiw.

What’s wrong with multiple returns?

GissaMittJobb OP ,

I’m gonna give this one a shot. Thank you!

GissaMittJobb OP ,

I’d be interested in this as well.

I follow the Duolingo Spanish Podcast, which has had some moderately interesting stories over the years, but I’d like to hear something a bit more challenging for sure.

GissaMittJobb ,

More powerful hardware makes tasks that were previously not considered end-user tasks feasible for end-users, just give it some time.

One pourover in the morning, one pourover after lunch. Under exceptional circumstances, a double espresso in the afternoon. Very rarely if ever more than that.

Growing up, there was an association in my area for common ownership of different types of machinery and other equipment for its members. You paid something like $10 a year, and for that you got to borrow all kinds of things you might need as a home owner, like a wood chopper/splitter, high pressure washer, trailers, leaf blowers, cement mixer, scaffolding etc.

I always thought that was brilliant.
