lfx··on What I carry with me every day: Matt Mullenweg
My father always taught me - keys and wallet every time you leave the house. And keep it in your pants pockets, since you never* leave those.

For my future children I will say the same, plus phone. But maybe it will be one physical thing at that time.

*Relative speaking, comparing to jacket let say.

lfx··on What is your current stack?
Interesting. We used to use GWT for several projects, but ditched for new ones to simple Java backend and AngularJS. Now when I had to fix some bugs, etc it feels so unpleasant to work and kinda slow (for dev). Project still uses old GWT 2.5 since transition to new version & 3th party component replacement would cost too much.

Do you use modern super dev mode and latest GWT version? How this turned out? Are there 3th party plugins repository?

lfx··on Learning languages is a workout for brains, both young and old
Majority of Finnish children learns English from TV and knows it quote well before starting school. They learns all from TV, because in Finland they do not voice-over dub[0] TV shows (except children shows), only add subtitles.

When I was child we had re-transmitted children German tv shows, I could speak German a bit without actually learning it for other sources.

Disclaimer: I'm not from Finland, but had discussion with one of the teacher in there.

But this is not simple image. This is interactive chart. You can hover lines and get some info via tool tip. Apparently you are using quite old browser, if you don't mind asking you? Since D3js, the lib used to generate SVG, supports majority of browsers[1].

Try Lithuania.

Rent is about 180-400 EU/mo. Weather is good, not too hot, not too cold. Sun/rain ratio is nice. Cities is not too big, so during season bicycling is preferable. Also public transport is ok. Food for 2 person family is about 150 EU/mo. Streets is safe for foreigners.
