It sounded like the original promotion with just fights inside Europe went well. It was the expansion of the promotion to include the USA that seemed to have caused the problem.

I've spent most entire career at relatively small companies (25-100 employees). I've never seen these types of issues (I can't say they've never happened, I'm just not aware of any). In fact, reading these stories

My payment provider (Braintree) required me to implement reCAPTCHA v3, despite the fact that I had already implemented server-side fraud checks (MaxMind). I didn't have a choice if I wanted to continue taking credit card payments.

I'm working in a product right now where we've run into this and we have a ticket to remove the family name requirements. Even if we remove the family name requirement from our end, a third party we use for identity verification s

I spent a lot of time trying to get dynamic switching working and after countless hours I gave up. Optimus is definitely not a "solved problem", unless you know some method I didn't find in my dozens of hours of googling how

Given that drivers are Linux's biggest problem, isn't there benefit to leveraging Windows drivers and then running Linux on top of that virtualized hardware? I don't see why you couldn't run x11 in the window manager wit

AMD doesn't have any mobile processors with Zen2 yet, so it would be hard for them to offer it. I hope they'll be available within a year.

I'm doing Kanban right now at my job and, I have to tell you, it's so liberating . I hate artificial deadlines (i.e., sprints). Kanban let's you focus on the work without all the process distractions.

No local state. You can do a full wipe then login and all your settings, apps, data are there (because they are in the cloud, not the device). Wipe your Linux partition and tell me how long until you have your computer back to how you had i

Does this mean that we'll be able to mount EXT4 devices and use storage as block devices? I'd love to be able to use `ddrescue` without having to boot into Linux.

I don't understand this comment. Source code is source code. The IDE doesn't write my code. What is an "IDE lens"? I knew a guy with a heavily customized vim setup for development. He could write code without it because
