Great! Who did you jump to ?

Norwegian here. I belive that e24.no is highly credible, I have been reading it for a number of years. The news of the harsh penalties for these uber drivers have also been mentioned in the radio news.

I totally get what you are saying but it seems to be to be increasingly difficult to find the good frameworks, especially since the badness of some frameworks only manifest on larger scales.

I do hope that the notion that technical debt does not neccessarily mean the previous developer was a moron/lazy/bad person takes hold. We developers need to respect each other more. There MAY have been a good reason for doing it the old way.

I honestly believe that as long as you are always trying to improve and don't coast, you should be good. I do not do side projects after work, but do try to work on my coding skills, focus and discipline during the workday. 17 years and counting, and every single year I improve (some times only by a little bit, but it really adds up).

Norwegian here. The entirety of the earnings from the oil industry is funneled into our Sovereign Wealth Fund, and has been for decades. A few percent (4% ?) of this fund is spent each year by the state. So we are not as hard hit as the others, and the state can basically keep spening money at our present level for many years. Note that oil companies in Norway is scaling back, so our jobless rate and tax income is being hurt, but so far things are only getting interesting for those laid off and those directly in the oil business.

The currency (and the meme it is "based on") is somewhat attractive, its silly image made me laugh, and mine for a few days, getting 120 000 or so Doge. If enough people think it funny enough to use, and of low enough value to actually use instead of just hold, it may have a future as a low value tipping currency. Your aarondfcoin lacks that funny easygoing silly meme power, I belive.

I have successfully used localbitcoins.com, using National Bank Transfer. Use their escrow service. Note that you probably do not want to sell to people through paypal (they can easily reverse the transaction), nor to people though other easily reversible payment services.

I have used localbitcoins.com a few times to buy bitcoins, and have been happy. Remember to use the site's escrow though.

Please note that if you add a small electric motor to your bike and use that as a help getting up hills, you can bike mostly anywhere, flat or not.

Remember that the low unemployment in Norway means that it can make sense to take a severance package, and get another job immediately, and thus get 2x pay for months.

The article states that Dropbox store the files themselves on AWS, and the metadata about the files on their own servers, many of which use SSDs.
