I'm terrified of the Netherlands now
  • This is already noticeable between Finland and England. According to the stats I've seen, the averages between the two are two inches apart. So, I'm average or just a tad shorter than the average man in the UK. In Finland I'm 5cm shorter than the average, and I kinda feel oddly tall every time I walk around in London because of that.

  • I need to replace milk in my coffee and I need ideas
  • Yes, non-sweetened almond milk is my favourite and it doesn't go weird when you pour it in coffee.

    After starting to drink my coffee black I've just been using it as an alternative to milk in nearly everything.

  • Introducing Pkl, a programming language for configuration
  • I get where you're coming from, but JSON Schema still absolutely is the framework that supports YAML files and not the other way around. I've been using JSON Schema pretty heavily lately to write schemas using YAML, for validating YAML.

  • Yeah, I am kinda the opposite - I'm halfway through a master's in software engineering and I work in the field, using Linux at work and Windows on my own PC.

    Still, as I never use e.g. Word or other office programs I don't know jack shit about them. But as one of the family "computer guys" I am constantly asked to help with stuff that I rarely use or even have never used before. If they had the ability to think in the correct way, like how you just mentioned you do, they would be able to resolve at least 70% of the problems pretty effortlessly. Society definitely needs to teach these basics better so that people could just google their problem and deal with it.

  • This is all very true, but I feel like the society has also failed to properly teach basic IT to the general population. Personal computers are a massively used tool in today's everyday life and work. It deeply concerns me that even the "tech generation", i.e. gen z I guess, generally don't even understand what files and directories are. Generic boomers are even worse because they just never learned anything, even touch screen UIs. These people can just about get by now, but I'm not so sure anymore when we go forward a decade or two when we rely on IT services more and more.
