In most of europe tap water has very good quality and you can just drink and use it without any filtering.

edit: meaning it's a personal choice to soften / filter you water, but most people are fine with just tap water


Water hardness isn't affected by filters. It's the presence of metal ions and is removed by converting them to salts. Hard water can taste good, and is perfectly healthy to drink, but it prevents soap from lathering and in areas with lots of moving water, it leaves mineral deposits, like stalactites and stalagmites in a cave. Usually it's treated to make cleaning easier and to prevent deposits from building up.

If you have to add salt to your dishwasher, it is to treat hard water, and in areas where it is needed, if you don't add salt the dishes will build up a cloudy mineral layer that is especially visible on glass and flatware as a matte finish when dry.


Seconded, although some still go for under-the-counter 6 stage water filtration systems with a small tank for drinking water. There are also 4 stage filters for the water as soon as it enters the house (very basic ones that do not restrict the waterflow as much compared to the drinking water filters) and 2 stage under sink solutions you can use on a per-sink base. I have seen people use all kinds but rarely.


it's for households. Energy prices for industry is much lower and in 2024 actually cheaper than 2017 (2024: 16,99, 2017: 17,09) Source: https://www.bdew.de/service/daten-und-grafiken/bdew-strompre...


Production cost share for industry:

2017: 08,02 Cent 2024: 15,50 Cent

Total cost is only less, because there are fewer levies and taxes.


probably works when using a single screen. But on a multi screen setup, so having the macbook as 2nd screen, it's not working


On a user level I agree, on a technical level I disagree.

Reason for disagreement is that the preview is generated once with the access rights for the user posting that link (with the permission Slacks Google Docs integration got from the posting user). For performance reason it would be quite costly to generate a preview for every viewing user since access rights could be different for every user. Also access rights can change every time, so it would be necessary to recheck permissions regularly to decide if the preview should be renewed (removed/added/changed). This also would mean users need to wait longer for the preview to generate.

So every user posting a link on Slack (or any platform which generates previews with a special integration) should be aware of that fact


Every time someone says "for performance reasons" as a justification for wontfixing a security issue a million badguys rub their hands with glee.

If you can't do previews in a way that respects access permissions you shouldn't do them at all. This isn't a feature that is essential whereas security really is.

Moreover you really can't possibly have a security scheme that relies on every user being aware of something. Someone will either not know or will know but forget or make a mistake. Systems should be robust enough to accomodate usage by actual humans.


On Chrome (browser I use for development) I use the Google Arts & Culture Extension, to have see something nice while working (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-arts-cultur...)

On Firefox (my main browser for all non-dev related things) I just use the main screen with the shortcuts - some of them sticky, most are just often visited pages gathered by the browser itself


Buy a pair of good running shoes and sport clothing and start running. Maybe a tracking device if you don't own one to track you progress. Also maybe do some weight/bodyweight training. Save the rest of the money. Or buy a bike.


his sources are basically YouTube and other unproven articles, mostly from far right extremist sites.

German truth check article for that one: https://www.volksverpetzer.de/uncategorized/uni-hamburg-unwi...


- Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash) for browsing documentation locally (often faster than searching the web when you know what you are looking for), alternative: https://devdocs.io (works in browser), Zeal (https://zealdocs.org, for Windows & Linux)

- Sublime Merge for solving merge conflicts and committing individual lines (I'm for command line when working with Git, but `git add -p` is often frustrating, with Sublime Merge it's very easy once you got used to the tool)


Really, I really like how documentations have become easily accessible offline. Hows your experience has been with Sublime Merge


I can recommend that article: https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/


quick fix would be to use NPM directly

(create a `.yarnrc` file with `registry "https://registry.npmjs.org/"`)


I think this only works if you're doing a clean yearn install. If you have a yarn.lock file already generated, chances are every package is pointing to registry.yarnpkg.com instead.


Ah, yes. Didn't thought about that.
