Do you count using a cloud provider as hosting your own? The most basic pipeline for doing it is going to look something like this: 1) Upload the original video to a storage bucket. 2) Have some compute service transcode the video file to c

There's the piracy reason, obviously. But for iOS specifically there is an additional reason. A torrent client that is downloading and uploading so much will absolutely shred the battery life on any kind of mobile device. If someone ha

First job out of college and I was living upstate and commuting by train to Manhattan. I wasn't paid enough to live closer to, or in NYC. They opened a disaster recovery office upstate. They wanted me to work there instead. Mostly alon

I have all my private data backed up appropriately on a NAS, in the cloud, etc. When I'm gone, whoever has access to my accounts, inherits my stuff, buys my property an estate sale, etc. can do with it whatever they please. However, fo

This is the way. I agree that joining a server, everything in it should be muted by default. Or at least, there should be some global option you can set to mute all channels in a newly joined server by default. The way I manage Discord is:

Go ahead. Print a personal checkbook with someone else's name, account number, and routing number on it. Write yourself a check and sign it. Then try to cash it or deposit it. See what happens. I double dog dare you.

Precisely. I think the two biggest reasons that people accept job offers with unfair compensation are: 1) Desperation. People need to eat. If someone needs food, water, health care, and shelter they can be forced to accept a job, any job, n

I did not need to sacrifice my moral standards for this current job. If that was the case, I would not have accepted for any realistic amount. However, if you ignore the compensation, which includes the reduced working hours, I must admit I

I live in NYC. NYC has a lot of companies in various industries such as entertainment, fashion, finance, advertising, etc. Some of those industries I refuse to work in, like finance and advertising, but you may find them acceptable. All of

Instead of asking for range from them, why not tell them your budget first? Or at least both write them down on pieces of paper and reveal simultaneously.

I consider the hours worked as part of compensation. It's something to be discussed during the negotiation phase. The company decides the structure of the hiring process. If you don't want to waste time, nothing stops you from mov

Absolutely not. I would live in a beach house, and I would indeed spend many hours laying in the sand, swimming in the ocean, etc. But I wouldn't literally spend the entire rest of my life doing nothing else at all. There would be soci

I just recently started a 32 hour a week salaried job. Here’s my story. I was at a very good job. My ultimate goal is to just go to the beach and not work at all. I realized that’s too big of a leap, so I set a shorter term more realistic g

This is the one. If I have to work (i.e.: not just live a life of luxury on the beach) my top pick would be to teach computers to children. So why am I not doing that job today? 1) The barrier to entry to getting that job is very high. I wo

Plenty of group chats existed, but they weren’t easy to setup or use. Sure, if you had a whole team of nothing but software engineers, an IRC server was, and still is, a perfect solution. A completely non-technical company has no chance of

Depending on your application, write as much of the core functionality as possible into a cross platform library and/or server in your language of choice. Expose all functionality through a strong API. Now you can build completely nati

The one thing that keeps me from using smaller competitors is that I don't have a guarantee they won't shut down. I need to know for sure that whatever I integrate with is going to last longer than I do. Even though there's a

I've thought about this before, and there's a fundamental problem. If there are just a few physical locations where the reset can occur, nobody who lives far from those locations can reasonably use the service. The risk is too gre
