Tangentially related, but this seems directionally correct!

More precisely, it’s the poorest country in EU and ~80% of households (highest share in EU) have _at least_ one unit (mini splits). Most households use them for heating also during the cold season.

There are no subsidies and/or regulations around this at all. The downside is that it doesn’t look pretty most of the time (unless it’s a new build with infra for multi-split traces).

In that context, this whole “europoors” narrative feels like some weird psyop to me.

I assume you’re targeting western audiences with all this BS, because you sound really out of depth to anyone from the Balkans/EE.

TFA actually does this; “relevent” at the disclaimer in the end, so I assumed it’s that authenticity nod.

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 can be included also as top tier general + audiophile sound quality (‘musical’) + premium build and materials.

I did as well; funny though, I see uptick in its usage along the board.

The reactivity model fits well in real-time applications; perhaps SolidJS is better alternative in this context, though.

GP didn’t, but I’ve found the tips that you’ve shared helpful, so thank you for taking the time.

Perhaps Istanbul would be more accessible (and safe) for Europeans in terms of megacity experience?

If you’re open about it, maybe you can take a look into Phenibut — it’s somewhere between alcohol and lightweight MDMA in terms of disinhibition effects. It can help tremendously in the context of aiding progressive exposure. Do you own research, though: it can get into slippery slope fairly quickly.

> Bulgaria pegging to the DM in 1997 meant anchoring to a much harder currency than what the euro has become.

Look, it seems you have beef with Bulgaria adopting the euro based on your other comments, but matter of fact is that many people remember the hyperinflation and the Videnov winter — especially older people that were queuing for bread with all of their lifetime savings disappearing overnight. Hence, the board staying almost 30 years. What’s scary for many is that the board in its current form is just a law that can be removed with simple majority, e.g. the current stable state could be made obsolete in a matter of a weekend — with devastating consequences for the economy. Adopting the euro means tighter integration with EU only and it’s mostly irrevocable … sadly for Russia and its proxies over here.

Wait, what? You’ve been junior developer in 2014? Your articles were tons of help for me back then. Just wanted to say kudos and thank you :)

It depends. BMW has history in introducing similar innovative models, e.g. BMW Isetta from 1955.

I agree. Honestly, I’m proficient with vim/emacs, but I’ve been using JetBrains for ~13 years and don’t want to sound boastful, but I’m pretty sure I’ll run circles around non-trivial amount of vim users in terms of productivity/efficiency/raw text editing. The amount of time I’ve put in customizing my workflow is stupid. The false dichotomy that if you use IDE you must be point-clicking around menus is often repeated. I guess … know your tool of choice inside-out is what’s more important.

You'll be most probably fine even in the sketchy neighborhoods in Sofia, e.g.

The car accidents problem is real, though ... there's the half-serous saying that accidents of this type are our form of mass-shootings.

RARBG was not accessible from within Bulgaria. Most people haven’t even heard of it.

OTOH, this is how you grow. Every employee tends to rise to their level of incompetence. If you haven't yet, the following book by Gerry Weinberg may resonate with you, as it has lots of insight in this context -- "Becoming a Technical Leader: An Organic Problem-Solving Approach".

> "It identifies which leadership skills are most effective in a technical environment and why technical people have characteristic trouble in making the transition to a leadership role. For anyone who is a leader, hopes to be one, or would like to avoid being one."

I was heavy user of Fireworks back in the day. Looking back — it had enormous influence over where I’m now today. I still can’t get over what Adobe did to it. It’s like Microsoft or some other behemoth buying JetBrains and then slowly killing it in favor of its own IDEs.

> Conversely I doubt that Asta would be considered road worthy anywhere in the EU. Actually I think EU countries like Bulgaria and Romania would benefit from some of these super-cheap vehicles.

Bulgaria and Romania are EU countries — that is, under the same regulations that Germany has. Even if Asta was road worthy there, people from lower GDP EU countries would still prefer continue buying high-mileage, but somewhat well-maintained vehicles from Germany.

I’m very curious what may be the root cause of this.

Yes, also similarly is "neurons that fire together wire together".

Great work!

How is the panel? Do you have any uniformity issues? In total, I've tried 7 units of LG 5K UltraFine (27MD5KA-B and 27MD5KL-B). All had [1] uneven brightness (visible on white background) and backlight bleed. Some of the units also exhibited tinting and/or faint vertical lines. I couldn't swallow these issues for the price that I've paid. Now I'm with Dell U2720Q, but I miss the high PPI of the 5K.

The Blueair 211/221 they’ve tested has essentially the same design and performed best. It’s CADR is also the highest (590 m3/h). It’ll be interesting to compare them in terms of efficiency and noise levels.

Not to be snarky, but what’s more important for an air purifier than it’s ability to clean the air? Signal your affluence?

Territorially, Bulgaria is close to Greece and larger than Austria, Portugal, Ireland and Czechia. It holds 16th position among 51 countries in Europe. High-income countries such as Denmark, Ireland and Switzerland also have lower population than NYC.

What is your point?

How modafinil might help? As treatment of potential undiagnosed ADHD?

You can use Ctrl+E / Cmd E to invoke the `Recent Files` dialog -- the first file in the list will be the last closed tab.

There is also the `Reopen Closed Tab` action, which it seems doesn't have assigned shortcut by default, but you can assign it to whatever you feel comfortable with.

The thread is about Austria, not Australia; the article states that supermarkets will be providing masks free of charge.
