@lehtimaeki No masks required (or even recommended) in Norway for almost two months. Recently travelled to Denmark and almost no masks seen at airports, plane, restaurants etc. Haven't worn a mask in weeks. Let's hope it can stay this way 🤞

Fikk melding fra skolen om nye karanteneregler: "Husstandene må i utgangspunktet selv skaffe selvtester til dette formålet.". Det skulle visst ikke være gratis å gå på skolen allikevel 🤷‍♂️

@gardlm Telefon med avslag til alle som har vært på intervju, helst med noe skriftlig actionable feedback i etterkant. Høflig automatisk svar til de som ikke kommer på intervju. Aldri dårlige nyheter på en fredag. Ikke vanskelig å gi en kandidat en bedre opplevelse enn de er vant til.

@pierluigirufo @oneclassycoder For two kids, in my experience, it's also really nice for the parents to take one kid each and do something fun. Way less conflicts to handle as they both get attention.

@oneclassycoder @alfthomas Yeh.. lately we've been trying to balance more the time we all spend together with the time one parent spend with the kids, so that the other one can do some sport or meet a friend. Usually I also go for a swim. My partner goes for a coffee chat instead 😄

Not sure if it's a common challenge when you have small kids but lately I really keep struggling to find time for side activities. How're other parents doing out there? Do you still find time for side projects and social life?

@throndsen At ikke norske operatører engang kan stoppe spoofing av norske nummer er for meg en gåte.

Slapt at ikke Telenors filtre stoppet et så åpenbart svindelforsøk. Folk er folk, tjener man penger på messaging så skylder man brukerne å begrense de kjipeste utslagene av det.

@MarkkuFinnila @dalmaer Yes, when you scroll the dates you tend to also reload the webpage. I'm amazed at how this could even be shipped. Did no one try using it?

@DanKaszeta The one and only time in my life I have ever seen a check was 18 years ago, when I worked at an electronics store and this guy walks in and tries to pay with a check. The store owner recognized this was a scam. 30 minutes later the cops arrived. Haven't seen a check since then.

@GergelyOrosz I always keep a PM in the interview panel for engineers. If the position is for a specific team, then preferably the PM for that team.

Ok so the latest and greatest Xamarin problem occurs when changing the Android SDK target from 28 to 29. The latest Play Store requirement is 29. Fun! Feels like I'm sitting in the scissors now (Norwegian saying)

@coderbyheart This will give you some sort of idea of what your monthly savings needs to be to hit whatever target you want. But over 30+ years expected returns affects the outcome by A LOT, and who knows what the return will be 🤷‍♂️

@coderbyheart For projections, I think the banks have calculators. At least Storebrand has one, if I'm not mistaken. It will fetch your PKB (and EPK soon, I guess) and combine it with projected state pension. It will also allow you to put in any private savings you have as well.

@ahakstun Som programmerer tenkte jeg jo at det kanskje skulle tolkes som 5. august, men mener å huske at konklusjonen bare var at det var en skrivefeil.

@alfthomas 36. juli? Man begynner virkelig å lure på hva som skjer i beslutningsprosessene her. Jeg begynner å bli såpass konspiratorisk at jeg nesten tror de gjør det med vilje.

@ahakstun Vedtaket vi til slutt fikk klarte vi ikke å tolke, og NAV kunne heller ikke svare på stående fot hva det betydde da vi ringte de. Blant annet var permisjonen innvilget frem til den 36. juli det året. De kunne etterhvert bekrefte at jeg fikk full kvote. 🤷‍♂️ Lykke til!

@ahakstun Det er helt koko. Holdt på å ryke på det samme for noen år siden. Oppdaget det heldigvis bare et par uker etter frist og etter dialog med NAV kunne det fikses med at kona kunne dokumentere at hun hadde gått ut i ordinær ferie i stedet for ulønnet permisjon.
