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.
In which countries is sugar added to skimmed milk? It is not in Sweden - skimmed and semi-skimmed are purely the result of removing fat from whole milk.
It’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
My 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.
The 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.

His comments have drawn criticism...
When Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, the UK military who fought them weren’t described as a terrorist organisation. Not by anyone with an ounce of sense at least, and certainly not by the islanders who’s land and homes had been occupied.
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.
Platform independent, and “just work”. Not missing any functionality I ever wanted and with a new machine even CLion’s almost legendary slowness is under control.
The Gulf Stream plays a significant role in maintaining the climate of the US East Coast and Western Europe. “We conclude with a high degree of confidence that Gulf Stream transport has indeed slowed by about 4% in the past 40 years.” The full study is Here
To summarize, this scandinavian comedy trio from the 90’s made a parody of Miami Vice. This being 90’s scandinavia, you can probably guess that the actors/comedians didn’t exactly have the melanin-credentials of parodying the black guy from Miami Vice, so one of them instead wore blackface (well, brownface would perhaps be...
