I agree. There are sites and apps where I need to make a conscious effort to put my mouse pointer in that one place where it does not trigger any hover actions, so I can just read the text. Incredibly annoying.

A few months ago I searched and found a new job without having a Linkedin profile. Was no problem at all, especially as a developer. If someone asks you can tell then that you got fed up with the recruitment spam and they will understand an

It is not that weird. For several jobs now I got a laptop from work and it was agreed upon beforehand that I could install Linux on it. I trust a machine that I installed myself.

I didn't read them because I don't believe them anyway. If the website uses my camera, I'll just assume that everything is recorded and sent to advertisers and shady governments before I closed the tab. So I did not want cont

The only reaction to something that dysfunctional and stupid is to go the other direction. Make lots of complaints about every normal English word you can think of by using it in a search and finding questionable results. Rule 34 says this

It can be worse. As I understand it, this person just wants to see code. I'd imagine that sending a zip file, or express willingness to do some small assignment would suffice too. Meanwhile, I have been blocked from applying for a posi

You can use this behavior to your advantage though. I have my browsers set up to delete cookies when they are closed and from the surface this works for Youtube recommendations. If I open the site I only get very generic popular/pushed

It's all purely anecdotal. I started a new job just when the pandemic hit. It was perfect timing, the lockdown went into effect between my last interview and my first day of work. Like everyone else, the company was not prepared for it

I am using it daily, as my sole editor, for a little more than a year now. Before that I used Neovim. Most important reasons for the switch are: * Leaves window management to the window manager, so it works much better with a tiling wm. I w

The dumb part is that they insist on including "Windows" in the name. What other subsytems would you have in Windows than Windows subsystems? The Windows part is implied. Otherwise it would not be a _sub_system, right? The only re

Well, it must be good at _something_, or it wouldn't be as popular as it is. Perhaps it's not a perfect language and perhaps that is not important at all. I use Go on a daily basis and even after doing that for years am still very

I can understand that. But in my mind, if things are separate enough that I want multiple commits, then I would work on them separately. If a feature needs A, but A needs B, then I would work on B, commit that and only then work on A. Somet

I think it is much lower on the list for terminal-first users than that, as they use Aerc or Mutt solely for reading and writing mail on the local machine and rely on other programs to sync the incoming and outgoing mail with the external m

Well, if you take away HTML/CSS and SQL, because most people would not call them programming languages, Python still comes in second, right above Java. So it's alright.

That is not hard, as the actions are fueled by greed and depend on spreading fear. It has nothing to do with rational thinking. At least not in the way an average consumer would assume. Copyright cartels live by bullying. It is not importan
