As a web application engineer, I've been very happy with my Acer Spin 13 8GB version. I hit the RAM ceiling too frequently to regularly use the Linux VM on this device for work. But then I discovered I could run code-server ( https:&#x

I agree in spirit but would revise: it's a security threat and against some company policies to explicitly share passwords in the clear. The ideal is to add your password to a corporate password vault, some of which can then authentica

I owe a debt of gratitude to MoviePass. Their shenanigans led me to learn about virtual credit cards (privacy.com in my case). I'll never be surprise billed by a subscription service again.

There are several famine events in the history of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian 'Holodomor' is a fascinating case. It appeared to be in the interest of both East and West at the time to deny that there was genocidal intent. ht

Circa 2009, back when it was Hudson (I think?) I once had an idea to rename MyJenkinsProject to !MyJenkinsProject in order to move it to the top of the list alphabetically. When I hit save, the UI explained that this wasn't possible _

8 hours of sleep plus 8 hours of work leaves 8 voluntary hours. You could make a case then that 2 hours of commute is giving up on a fourth of your weekday free time. Factor in the prep for commute or time needed afterwards to decompress an

One example doesn't refute your case, but I feel compelled to mention that the legendary ambient electronic musician Geir Jenssen (Biosphere) is based in Tromsø (along with some others of similar style nearby i.e. Deathprod). If you&#x

Because you're maintaining a legacy application that in development can only operate in http but if you override network resources in an https environment to point them to local the browser will (understandbly) throw a fit.

As a native speaker, I don't remember anyone teaching me the rules of adjective order but I have internalized them and definitely notice when someone violates my expectations. I rarely witness a native speaker do so. https:/&#x2F

Such agreements are common in Switzerland, for example. I'm in the US where you can imagine it's harder for a US company to make the math work due to ponying up for health care costs per salaried employee. Anyone care to weigh in

Exceptionally well written. I clicked into the source but was disappointed the quotation didn't have a way to read more.

Anyone else have a pattern where a nice well researched article turns into 'save on pocket' click and never come back to it? This is a classic target of such for me.

Thank you for introducing me to 'Silent Keys'. It's a great way to remember my dad. I'll introduce a story about him: My father was unable to get ahold of my mother (with me inside) who had made an emergency visit due to

I'm not an expert in cognitive behavioral therapy, but I believe much of what it advocates is along what you're describing. Reframing behavior you would otherwise avoid or be anxious about as something enjoyable, you might even sa

I don't think your statement holds ground. If your coworkers behave like conversations on Instagram or LinkedIn, I'd hope you'd get the gumption to find another workplace.

Perhaps much like the parent, I want to create without the foundation of TDD or unit tests, so I find the mixture to be expensive in the cases I'm typically working.

When enforced like a code coverage score I agree. If in your day-to-day there's static checking against any/unknown, well, that's effectively saying 'only type-checked code welcome'. Which is kind of sad and against

There's a heavy push towards Typescript lately and I agree with your counter. I'll add to it: Type checking gets you somewhere, but are you better off there? It depends on where you want to be. As you've mentioned, integratio
