I mean, I understand the sentiment. At the same time, most of the consumers of said plastics are living longer than previous generations. I don't think it's as bad as you make it out. Granted, at some point the human race will n

In most cases, I would bet the CO2 impact of the alternatives you list is on the order of 2x - 10x. So long as plastics are not being burned, at least their carbon is not going into the atmosphere.

If the physical WiFi card can be replaced with one with a well supported chipset, I would go that route. I would first confirm that the one you have is poorly supported, which seems likely.

I think the hardware isolation would be a selling point in some cases. Granted, it's niche.

A bit disingenuous to say N64 games cost $52 USD to manufacture. They did in 2021 dollars, but that's $30 in 1996 dollars when the console was released. The cost almost certainly went down as time went on.

Are you aware of any drawbacks to this? The page listed says explicitly that it's not intended to replace data collected from gtag, Tag Manager, and Google Analytics.

I had a number of techniques I used when I used to make shareware that were very effective at the time. Happy to talk with you via DM if you’re interested.

It's not clear why you are compelled to do this, or what benefit for either party would be achieved by doing it. What do you hope will happen by telling your "day job" about your "concrete company"?

As someone who left mid-college to do software development work, I regret not completing a degree of some kind. (I was studying electrical engineering.) I would say, for me, it actually would have been good to spend a few years working in

Thanks for writing this. This was my sentiment as well. I feel that the anecdotes about cash flow are somewhat interesting, but the whole 'proving an argument' narrative is unsubstantiable fluff. The cash flow strategies are thin

For sure, I cannot complain. There a plenty who lost money to create those crazy valuations, so I am definitely on the fortunate side of things.

I would guess the main reason it gets recommended to beginners is because it's the most prominent language with the most minimalist syntax, so you can read it more closely to a written language. Also, being interpreted, you don't

If you go back less than 5 more years than that, it was less than $1. That's what he's talking about. Fell into the same trap myself. Thought about it as free money generation and not an investment. If I had just bought and held

What is the role of the manager, if they are not providing guidance and mentorship?

I'm sorry you have a bad manager. You are also likely in a company with a corporate culture where it is very difficult to let people go. Your manager may want to replace you, but it is too difficult or impossible to let you go unless

All of ours is setup with Terraform. Built a module to transform a JSON file with a list of DNS records into CloudFlare DNS record entries. The other config is less cumbersome to just write in straight HCL.

I doubt there is much technically in the way other than it being of fairly limited use in most cases. Your iPod case has a ~0.5Ah battery while an iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 4.3Ah battery. Add in the inefficiency of wireless charging and you

I suspect that for SendGrid, SMS is an important hurdle for filtering out spammers. Of course, that's relatively easy to work-around, but it doesn't feel shady to me if viewed with this context.

I feel like the above the fold section of your homepage is a huge lost opportunity. You've got a bunch of icons, but it conveys no information about what your product does. Additionally, using the term "file system" is confus

There are plenty of conglomerates who are central companies who own a bunch of functionally distinct companies. Generally, each of these distinct companies have their own CEO and these CEOs will repo into the conglomerate's management

It's to be interpreted in the quasi-mathematical sense where you have images for frame A and frame B representing your data points. To interpolate between those frames, a flow of plausible images simulating the transition from A to B

Unless there was a pre-nup and depending on the state they married in, option 1 could mean he gets half of their collective money anyway. These people should see a councelor and talk about why they think it's important to keep it separ

This is poor advice. A lot of the time these can be used to reset your password, so you've compromised the security of your (hopefully much more intelligently) chosen password. In addition, if a breach ever leaks or a phishing attempt

Realistically, the only real power they have to decrease house prices is to massively increase interest rates. Unless you've saved enough to buy a house outright, you'll probably end up paying in interest what you would have paid

Did you have $11k in BTC or in cash? The way the rehabilitation proceedings are going you will either be able to recover ~20% of the cash, or ~20% of the BTC which would be a considerable gain at this point.

I love the simplicity. How are things like fraud and chargebacks handled? With collecting money being this easy, I immediately worry about how it would be abused.
