This has been common in Sweden for decades, I had it in my previous house almost 20 years ago. If I remember correctly it was a 100m borehole. The only limitation is that certain soil/rock environments work better than others, so it’s not suitable for all locations.
Heated our house in northen Sweden just fine in -20/30C winters.
catfish@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's an aspect of your job that college didn't prepare you for?22·2 years agoIt’s a little unfair to criticise a CS course for not being a SWE course. But I agree that graduating students in CS without having covered the basic requirements in the SWE day job most of them will move into is a disservice.
I did CS (30 years ago) and things entirely missing in the syllabus back then:
- any and all soft skills
- version control
- refactoring
- testing and the value of testing
- staging and replicated environments for raw dev, QA, live, etc
catfish@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your experience with security USB sticks (such as Nitro- or Yubikeys)?13·2 years agoMy experience with my yubikey is that it just works. I know that’s not terribly useful info, but it’s really all I have after several years of occasionally using it. Oh, it’s been on my keychain all that time so isn’t terribly flimsy.
catfish@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People have been cleaning their ears with cotton swabs for years. What other tools are being inadvertently used wrong?71·2 years agoThe only thing worse than people using WD-40 instead of a better product, are the mental gymnastics performed by people pretending a product which is 35% oil and sold as a lubricant, actually isn’t.

Maybe not quite so much these days. I use Outlook at work, but that’s been the limit of my MS contact in tech for a few years now (apart from the odd Teams meeting I’ve been invited to). It used to be worse in terms of lock in, IMO.
I have a brand new Apple product with both a headphone jack and an SD card reader.
To be fair it only has HDMI and not a VGA connector, and there’s no floppy disk drive or serial port.
Everyone loves to hate.

I agree from the opposite direction:
20 years ago I switched to zero drop minimalist footwear for running, hiking, and almost all everyday activities (everything except weddings and funerals). I only wear footwear that has no relation at all to my foot’s arch, my weight, or my gait.
Best decision for my knees, ankles, and hips I think I ever made.
Absolutely. Fucking. Everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect
catfish@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an absurdity that has been normalized by society?82·2 years agosomewhat tongue in cheek answer:
people who think that our brains were designed.
catfish@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your opinion on men that make use of sex worker services?102·2 years agoMy opinion is based on an older gentleman commiserating on how difficult it was for young impoverished students to pay for everything nowadays. I was in debt, and had at just that moment come out at the LGB soc. That person was my bank manager.
Subs that pay doms don’t bother me at all.
catfish@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How racist/controversial would this skit from the 90's be today?41·2 years agoWould you say that this was racist, or shouldn’t have been performed?
I recently saw this: What are some great YouTube channels worth checking out? which indirectly answers your question I guess for the people that posted suggestions.
Mine were:
- https://www.youtube.com/@TheTimTraveller - Utterly charming and funny travel videos
- https://www.youtube.com/@AtomicShrimp - Incredibly wholesome nerdyness in a multitude of forms
- https://www.youtube.com/@anderspuck - Insightful and considered observations about the war in Ukraine
- https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker - Unashamedly non-PC reviews and observations on film and TV
catfish@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your favorite operating system and what do you like about it?3·2 years agoFWIW I’ve been a continuous Linux user for 30 years and prefer macOS as my “daily driver”.
Always have a Linux server running though, so in a way I could be described as 50/50 I suppose.
