Terrible domain name, no doubt. However, I like that these alternative TLD's are becoming somewhat acceptable now. Finding an unused .com domain for a new business can be really hard(/expensive). For example, I would much rather buy dropbox.io than getdropbox.com. Or maybe even drop.box?
I have a computer with hardware that is a couple of years old. The new and improved drivers for Windows 10, which should be compatible with my hardware, work horribly, so I manually installed some older drivers, which work perfectly. However, every once in a while, Windows 10 decides to update my drivers to the new crap drivers, so I have to waste my precious time uninstalling new crap drivers and manually reinstalling good old drivers.
As of yet, I have found no good solution to this problem, if I still want to be able to receive updates for other drivers.
I also liked this article. Gives a great insight to the things that just seem to work in Scandinavia, such as free education and health care. However, it does not shed any light on things that do not work in the Nordic countries. The socialistic model builds upon trust; a trust that people will not abuse the system. In Denmark, a big problem is that unemployed people with children turn down jobs simply because the pay is not substantially greater than their welfare check which they get for doing nothing. This becomes very expensive for the tax payer in the long run if not solved.
Worth it if you need to use a cross-platform desktop framework and don't like java. C++ is most definitely harder to use than many (newer, thus) more modern languages but you will be rewarded by the niceness of Qt.
