I too can't stand typical ball strainers and use a big one taken from an Ikea tea pot. It fits most mugs perfectly filling up almost the whole space inside.
I was you 2 years ago. Now after experiencing failed keyboard, battery and overall poor performance in my MBP I'm back with linux on a thinkpad. I'm curious about Windows though.
A bit of advice: if you end up buying a macbook give it some time and don't move your whole life into the ecosystem. It's incredibly hard to move out. You can't just export all your photo albums, Things tasks, and so on.
I wonder was it something he had been thought at school or did he learn it from media/internet/friends later on. I'm Polish and I remember history classes on Tesin in 1938 or Poland's involvement in 1968 invasion. But I also see a lot of history whitewashing from nationalist movements succesfully penetrating the society.
I too used to hitchhike in the Balkans and usually tried to avoid politics or sensitive subjects but I guess I wouldn't be able to resist myself in this case. Probably ending up thrown out by the driver considering current Poland-Russia relations. Sad how people in Central/Eastern Europe are still traumatized by the consequences of WW2.

I don't think this is connected to serverless achitecture. You have to write a database query either way. And it would be just as easy to count or retrieve entities one by one with traditional approach.
Yes, Apple actively stabotage right to repair. I'm not a fan o them because of that and some other things. But at the same time iPhones are pretty sturdy phones with OTA updates spanning years, while most android manufacturers seem not to care.
I recently discovered the Idagio app (https://www.idagio.com/). It has pretty amazing and well maintained database of classical pieces. You can for example list all renditions of such and such piano concerto sorted by year.
I only keep Spotify because of "Discover Weekly" playlist generated every Monday based on your taste. The algorithm is truly incredible. There are weeks I find myself saving half of the songs.
First of all thanks for this comment. That's a lot of interesting input.
To be honest I don't really see any reason to treat doctors differently than other professionals. There are plenty of difficult jobs that people's lives depend upon but I've yet to see a career path forcing trainees or juniors to go through such hard conditions for several years for pennies.
> Further work hour restrictions could turn the 15-year training process into a 16 or 17 year process. Fair enough, this could solve the problem. But really? From a purely economic perspective, this is silly.
From a purely economic perspective everyone works too little for too much. Why don't we start to treat residents like human beings, cut the long hours and pay them decently. Where do we find the money? Maybe in regular doctors' sacks - the difference in pay before and after residency is crazy. In 2017 residents went on a country-wide strike over working conditions in my country (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41777785) and it's said they'll go on another one this year.
As a side note I think a lot of issues in health service is a lack of proper management. Every time I'm in a hospital I can't help to notice hiring someone like an office manager, who's only job is to smooth communication between workers and patients and workers themselves would be huge.
I'm not trying to say that once we introduce methods to fully detect some types of law infractions it will inevitably lead to a totalitarian regime.
But I believe some leeway is necessary for people to feel comfortable and somewhat free. I don't want to be punished every time I make a mistake. I think you can find some sweet spot between zero and total detection. And yeah, probably leaning towards the latter, in correlation with seriousness of a violation (optimal discoverability reaching zero rather means the law should be revoked, like jaywalking being penalized in my country imho).
Also, how would you even know some law is optimal when no one violates it? I mean, we could put radars on every road and set the limit on 30 kph. The studies discussed in the article wouldn't be possible then.
> I'm not arguing about every single law, only those that have impact on the leading cause of death beyond health issues in the civilized world
Definitely speed is the factor. But what about other variables at play like road quality, intersections planning, lights, other traffic regulations? And if tweaking them actually lowered casualties equally well with better economical outcome?
> only the fear of enforcement keep people honest
As for a slippery slope. You vastly generalized your statement yourself tbh.

It must be awful.
