Sweden actually removed middle names. I believe now you can have 1–2 last names, 1+ first names and 0 middle names. You can choose a given name that you are called which can be different than the first names but usually isn’t.
This causes problems with forms and at airports that don’t allow for Swedish name rules.
I guess I’ll keep walking, biking and using public transport.
Your explanation is what I would expect the article to cover. The article clearly has failed to provide meaningful context.
We are using HTML and not XHTML. I have not used XML on websites in over 15 years when HTML5 got stable.
We used Adobe InDesign at my last work, which I believe is an industry standard. Affinity Layout if you don’t want to sell your kidney to Adobe. Scribus is an open source project but I’m not sure how the quality is in that.
Love Flameshot! Been using it for years since its cross platform so it works on macOS at home and Windows at work.
Since the whole Trump thing: Cuba Cola Zero, Champis Zero, Trocadero Zero, Mino Limonata
Volvo, SAAB, Renault, Volkswagen, Audi
I have not used WP in a while but will recommend clients to not use WP Engine. The more I read about them the more they sound like grifters.
I have started searching for “@company-url.tld” to find a public email instead of using contact forms
This would have been exciting if coming from a company that you can trust to keep services alive and not sell your data.
ok. some need feel fire under ass to see house burning. grog only relax and wait. complexity spirit demon do the rest
Yeah you just failed, and if it was my country you would be reported to the Public Complaint Board and fined for probably breaking contract and false advertisement.
Come live in Sweden! Most cities have a "City Net" which is municipal fiber. I recently moved apartments and the new place had both coax and fiber. I just went on an ISP website input my apartment details and two days later I had 500/500 Mbps for $39.14 / month.
One can also use a compare service like Bredbandsval ("val" means both choice and whale) https://www-bredbandsval-se.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_t...
“No, it’s a special bottle“ The guest asked and got an answer. Is it tacky and reeks of entitlement, Yes, it does not haves to become awkward
I used Midjourney to generate some icons and then remove.bg to get rid of the background.
This is one reason why I watch esports. The game makers see it as advertisement for their game so they pay for the leagues and shows.
I can watch all of it on YouTube or Twitch for free.
Here in Sweden my employer reports my income tax and my investments app reports capital gains, to the Tax Authority. Last week I could log in, review the data, and e-sign it in less than 5 minutes. It turns out that I payed 53.80 dollars to much tax last year. Since I filed my taxes early (before March 30) they will pay it back on April 6 (instead of June 9).
There is in lots of countries…
Sweden's Swish says hej
For best programmer that might be to learn more Data Structures and Algorithms. Maybe try some LeetCode. See if you can find a senior programmer to be your mentor.
For best developer, I think it is good to learn a bit about each team member's role. Learn some UX design, Scrum Master, Tester, Product Owner and Database Admin. You don’t need to learn enough to be able to do their job but enough to understand how and what they work with.
Keep learning programming, more languages, you come from the web, learn some Golang, Rust, Elixir, Python, to learn different paradigms. Do some side projects about things that you are passionate about (I play Dungeons & Dragons so I have built tools and websites to help with that).
Maybe get a job at a consultancy, you get to work with different clients in different domains and learn a lot.
But as others have pointed out, don’t burn yourself out. It sucks and takes a long time to come back from. Godspeed
After work I buy myself a one-portion cake or muffin, plant a lit candle into it and wish for something.
I really like Microsofts new standard font Cascadia Code. It comes with PowerLines, bold/cursive and ligatures.
Not sure if I have ADHD, but I have a hard time focusing without blocking all external sounds. I can’t listen to slow music while coding/thinking, I need the music to match my brain speed, so I listen to 135+ bpm stuff. Psytrance and Hardstyle are my go to music genres. I recently made a playlist long enough to get me through a working day https://open.spotify.com/playlist/02mn7gCDxdJeiRwgiEX3EM?si=...
Swede here, it’s really prevalent in Sweden to just use first names irrespective of who it is. Your boss, boss’s boss, your doctor, or as the case of an athlete winning an Olympic medal: even the prime minister, even calling her a nickname[1].
I believe it is partly due to a reform back in the days dropping thou and titles[2].

Here is my current pet project https://syradar.github.io/yxans-klagan/#/monsters , I need to get a domain for it. The Wailing Axe, a game masters one stop shop for prepping and running the Forbidden Lands RPG by the Free League.
You can do that with the Capture Screenshot command in DevTools https://swimburger.net/blog/web/hidden-gem-take-screenshots-...
A password manager and the Authenticator app makes it dead simple
I keep a small pouch in my bag that is designed to store cig butts. Useful for when there are no bins around. It’s sealed so there is no smell and I can empty it into a bin later.
Tag Auto Rename is built in, enable it with: "editor.linkedEditing": true https://www.roboleary.net/vscode/2020/08/05/dont-need-extens...
