I haven't done startups. But I do work with a mostly remote company. I would imagine that it would be easier to establish a remote-only work culture earlier on then try to transition to it later (where you might need to jetison some es

Hell, I've had and have heard of service-industry level jobs doing this to people for years. One of my first jobs was as a waiter. Showed up one day to check the schedule and couldn't find my name on any of the shifts. Management

This seems to be the zeitgeist lately -- folks wanting to get back to the small community feeling. I think some of the different "fediverse" takes are trying to do just that. I'll throw out the typical Mastodon plug. I'v

Jekyll. Although, I would like to check out some alternative static site generators as I've never been 100% satisfied with how Jekyll works. I like having all of my articles as self contained text files that I can run through pandoc an

Rapidly becoming impossible. So many government services now are only available via online. They expect you to go to the library and do that. That said, if I didn't work from home. I think I probably would outright dump my internet con

I've thrown around the property idea myself (we already own the house). Instead of the big ring, or an expensive party. I could buy her ten acres somewhere nice for a future retirement-vacation house. The value is almost guaranteed to

Not a great deal. I think management got together with the lawyers to do a cursory review but we've already been under similar legislation for at least one of our European markets so code-wise we haven't actually changed anything.

Cool. Signing up, to give it a try. I've got a FT day job but have been wanting to try to crack the nut of how to land a contracting position on the side for a while now.

Don't run random Docker or Vagrant Boxes seems to be something that isn't really emphasized by the providers of these services. I ran into this realization the other day. I wanted to give Mint a try. I run over to Vagrant's s

If you're a contractor wouldn't your resume show continuous employment for one company (yourself) with each 3-month stint listed as a client?

Any one of those items could be problematic depending on the individual. I see it (particularly in light of the following paragraph) as a call to me mindful and intentional about your media consumption. Me and my spouse watch a movie togeth

Friends who went the Bay Area route seem to be in a much higher risk situation then those who stuck it out in the Midwest. You might be able to pick up a new job overnight in the Bay Area, but conversely your employer can replace you overni

We use docs for work. I hate it. I can never find where a document is hiding (is it in drive, docs, associated with which account?). I much prefer a local file structure that I can navigate from the command line. Some tools break on Firefox

I already pay them $5 a month so I can use myname@mydomain.com for e-mail (I believe this also exempts my inbox from their ad-based data mining, but I could be wrong) I would gladly up that to $10 or $15 a month to extend that across all of

As someone who drives rather frequently in atrocious winter weather conditions. I often wonder how AEB will handle black-ice and deep snow where tapping the break gives you a chance for loosing traction and ending up in the ditch. First rul

I don't understand why go through the hassle of actually deleting (particularly since it is so onerous). It changes nothing. There's probably still a shadow account of the data you gave them. Deleting the account doesn't put

Why would a hardware selection or hacking on configuration files be out of the realm for your typical PC gamer? When they've already committed to purchasing and assembling special hardware components just to run the games? Crosscheckin

17.10 isn't an LTS. Why is everybody who is complaining about the Ubuntu issues trying to run what amounts to a beta build of the operating system? I think you would have a lot smoother experience of the just a to 16.04 and don't

I heard Phoenix took quite a big hits in the tech sector in 2008. I live out in the boonies in Arizona, I would say at least if I go off of for recruiter spam, there's been an uptick in engineering positions related to the self driving

On the occasions that I have disabled my ad blocker and visited major new sites, I found the ad experience made me greatly question the judgment of the sites editors. How can I trust the authority of a news site, when I am also seeing clear

I haven't had to completely reset my machine in probably five years. Occasionally, I think I should come up with some kind of ansible script that would take me from a bare bones of Ubuntu installed to having all of my software installe

I ran into a site last year that refused to work if the browser reported the OS to be Linux. Worked fine with it spoofed.

As gross of a conversation can be, I always found proper squatting in the back-country pretty much makes toilet paper unnecessary.

I remember my agency days. Now days I work on a single long-running legacy project where tests make sense. Back then, I read a lot about how testing was the "right thing to do." But I also realized that most of the time (a) the cl

I've been on Mastodon for a week now and loving it. But it's a different beast from Twitter. I find it much more socially engaging and interactive. On Twitter, I mostly just followed people and consumed their posts the way I consu

Ubuntu 16.04 Why? Because it worked when I installed it. I never got into the whole install the hottest distro each season phase, so I've never actually tried anything else (other than my work servers which are running Cent-OS, but I d

Yeah, I was going to chime in. I've had an accurate whois for my domains since the early 2000s and at most I get a couple pieces of junk mail around renewal time. No idea if I get any spam from it, the spam filter seems to do a good en

I've lived in some really remote parts of the west and the worst my prime shipments have ever been is a day late. Count that against the 40 mile drive into town that I only make once every other week -- even if they took a week to get
