My therapist has recently recommend "The Grief Recovery Handbook"[1] to me to deal with a breech of trust in my life. I never thought of that as "grief" but as we went through it, it's really put a new perspective o

I've also thought that I haven't received counterfeit products from Amazon, but hearing your story it's possible I have but they were good enough that I didn't notice as I didn't have an authentic product to compare

I work for a crypto currency company and it was the first time in my career that I was issued a YubiKey (I once had an RSA 2fa token for vpn access). It took some getting used to but now I just keep in on my keychain and I always have it wi

I use MaxMind to get back a risk score and use that to determine the possibility of fraud. It's been extremely effective, very cheap, and completely transparent to users (unless they trigger a high risk score). How does this service c

I don't think it's so much an issue of size as vertical integration. In this case, you have someone providing BOTH a platform AND products on the platform. The same issue happens with Internet, where one company provides both the

If Stadia were just a monthly subscription and you could play all the games, it wouldn't be hard to swallow because they just stop charging you when the service goes down and you got your value out of it while you had it. It's the

Out of curiosity, what would such an API look like? Would you provide xpubs for various coins and get back current balances and transaction history?

I used Azure for a year on a project and they did seem to have a pretty big focus on UI/UX. Without having previously done any cloud management work directly, I found it fairly straightforward.

I also see that this seems more specific to the culture of Utah than of the Mormon religion as you don't see this same behavior in other places with large Mormon populations such as Mexico or Brazil.

How is insulting an entire population of people because of their beliefs a tolerated attitude? I don't see how it's any different than people that are anti-LGBT or racist. You may disagree but insults are not constructive and hone

At my company we interviewed two people. Both did fairly poorly in different ways. One we hired because he was a referral and came highly recommended despite a not great interview. He's been great. The second guy was rejected but later

As a team lead, this is the approach I try to take. I spend most of my time tackling the problems that are blocking other team members from getting work done. It's not sexy but keeping 3 guys working is more valuable than me getting t

The article says that PureScript helped them reduce bugs but fails to give any examples of how PureScript prevented bugs. Looking at the examples, the code seems to function the same so it's not obvious what problem is being solved tha

As someone that starting using Linux instead of Mac 2 years ago, this is definitely not the case. External monitors are always glitching out (not detected on resume), sleep didn't work at all, adding hibernate support took days of rese

Except that some features are only available in the desktop app like screen sharing. Another advantage is being able to switch directly to an app instead of remembering which browser instance has which tab. With Discord specifically I have

Basic economic theories require that consumers have full information and make rational decisions. Neither of those are valid assumptions. In this case, the vast majority of people don't know if a shirt was made with child labor or not.

I miss the days when my feed wasn't curated at all and just sorted by most recent post. The whole point of having friends and being able to (un)follow people is to I can curate my own feed. I don't use Facebook anymore except for

Programming languages are just a means to an end. I've used various language over the years and what I remember is what I built, not whether the language had pattern matching or not. I have fond memories of writing PHP because it helpe

I also don't cuss / use profane language. However, I have found a few idioms that just don't quite translate. For example, my co-workers laugh at me for saying "for kicks and giggles" instead of "s$!#s and gigg

I'm not familiar with emacs. Does that mean that you don't need to install any supporting software like indexers, linters, syntax highlighters, etc? Does the emacs file contain all that or tell it how to download all the plugins?
