  • I have never really been into anime/manga. However, I received the first book of Dragon Ball book back in the 00’s when the comic arrived in Norway as an add on to a Donald Duck magazine. And heck, I was so hooked. I read the book several times, and when the next book came out, I read that several times as well. For the next few years, every time a new book cmae out, I’d read all the books again. It was an amazing journey. I read the full series through dragon ball and dragon ball z as the only manga I ever got hooked on.

    Thanks for all the amazing sleepless nights under the duvet and a flashlight. Dragon Ball holds a very special place for me.


  • I might be the dumb one in this one, but HR asked me if I know “design patterns”.

    “I mean, yes, I know some design patterns. Any specific?”

    “No, just if you are familiar with design patterns.”

    “I mean, there are builder, strategy, sigleton, factory etc. Is the question really not more specific?”

    “My paper just asks if the dev is familiar with design patterns.”

    “Ok. Yes.”






  • We have the same with EEA (european economic area, that part of EU which norway is a part of). It’s EØS here. It makes it convoluted to discuss, especially since EEA is mainly brought up in international subjects. And the actual words behind the acronym is never brought up, so the acronym serves mainly as a name, making the differentiation even more useless.


  • Norway has a weird obsession with making translated acronyms for well established terms. Lately, after many years of use of “AI”, the Language Council decided that the term should be changed to “KI”, as that is the “correct” Norwegian acronym. Not only does it feel wrong to say, but it invades another local acronym for me.

    To top it of, that council decided to make “KI-generated” the “word of the year”, which seems like a pat on their own shoulder to brilliantly making the acronym.

    I hate it.
