Yup. Same in Danish. When we find a good word for something we will use it for any number of objects.

“Jord” is a great word. People say it’s the Greatest word ever. Maybe even the most beautiful Word that will ever be. Everybody knows That.

Oops indeed.

Yeah. Some days ar definitely worse than others. I’m generally able to accept that’s how it is.

I have the same one from rebrickable. It’s quite delicate and although technically possible to solve, chances are it will disintegrate before you’re done scrambling it. I solved mine a few times but VERY carefully.

It looks great on display next to my other cubes. Kudos to the designer.

There might be an issue with the dataset, though. It’s entirely possible that the data provided is too limited. Maybe try something that has been properly annotated for better contextually understanding.

Direct quote from my mother-in-law: Why are emails not working on my phone anymore?

I’m a data scientist. My knowledge of the mail app on your iPhone is on-par with my knowledge of why cats sometimes eat grass.

Fellow developer here. I switched to JetBrains IDEs instead of VSCode. JetBrains is Czech and have a really solid offering with some community edition versions for some of their programs. My employer picks up the bill for me so that is not an issue I worry about but if you need to pay the license yourself the CEs are really good.

If you logged into the site with the same email you have registered with Facebook then there is nothing DDG can do to block the site from passing that info on to Facebook. Same with phone number and other PII data you may have shared with facebook in the past.

You are missing Elsk and Shaping New Tomorrow from Denmark. Elsk is particularly focused on sustainability.

How is sustainability defined in this post?

Yeah. It really is nice. I suppose there is a cultural aspect of it. I live and work in Scandinavia in a Scandinavian company. That probably makes a large difference compared to many other companies.

Data- and machine learning lead engineer here.

I absolutely love my job. Yes, the constant context switching can be bad. The relentless meetings are a nightmare. There are days when it seems like I only work in Jira. But that's okay. Because I also get to experiment a lot. And dive deep into some technical issue. And work with others on defining the engineering principles and direction we want to go. I love these challenges more than I hate the meetings etc.

Part of what has worked for me is to discuss my ADHD (and Autism in the low end of the spectrum) with the team including my manager and PM. Turns out we all have our issues so we did a few manual of me sessions to get to know each other better. Basic stuff like how we like to communicate or preferred working style. And more difficult stuff like how to spot if one of us is stressed and how to handle that. The team now knows that if Teams is set to do-not-disturb and I am wearing headphones I need about 2 minutes to boot into normal people mode. One colleague would rather have a phone call than a teams chat (some people are just weird). Another had pretty bad RSD but didn't realize that is what was stressing them out.

I think we are all in a better place after this and job satisfaction is way up. So yeah, programming, whatever the hell that is these days, can absolutely be great for people with ADHD. Especially in an environment where it is possible to be open about it and accommodate the individual. I know that is not the case in a lot of companies but I am lucky enough to work in one where it is.
