Though I don't make a killing, I think I've done pretty well jumping up the pay scale over my career so far. In 6 years I went from $60k to ~$185k, and I'm still aiming up. Graduated college in 2017 and landed a job at a Real

Anecdotal, but if you're looking for friends as an adult you should get a bicycle. I've moved 3 times in my adult life, and have made a solid group of friends each time by signing up for group rides, etc. Ages range from late twen

I actually used Experian lately. I was a prospective tenant of an apartment and the landlord wanted a credit report. It seems that no one really cares about it being a full-hard-hit report anymore, at least for these sorts of things, but th

Unless Actions has gotten a lot more fleshed out since I last used it, I don't think it's as robust as Gitlab CI.

This looks absolutely fantastic. I've been tinkering around off and on with the Strava API, laying my (or my bike club's) ride lines on top of a map to share with friends. Doing this with Google Maps has been more costly than I ex

Happy New Year! While I'm not feeling so good about the economic and technological forecasts of 2023, it's looking to be a great year for me mentally and in my personal life. Looking forward to taking this year head on.

Isn't DRUIDS a reference to something? I swear I remember it being from a TV show, but I can't quite remember.

Anecdotal: I struggled with exercise asthma for as long as I can remember up until about a year ago (currently 28). I had in my head that I'd never be athletic for this reason. Last year I started heavily lifting weights with a trainer

I got most of the way there to hosting a small site from a pi. Got hung up on port forwarding on Fios. I'll figure it out though.

I recall hearing similar claims of graphene a while back. I realize that the lag time between academic proof-of-concept and commercial availability is large, but I still haven't heard of any products coming out that are made of graphen

Excellent piece of software, I use it so much it's now second nature. I remapped my prntscreen button on Ubuntu long long ago and have never even thought to search for a replacement.

Love the "Note on Public Cloud", and their stance on owning and operating their own hardware in general. I know there has to be people thinking this could all be avoided/the blame could be passed if they used a public cloud s

Love it, gives me https://www.pitviper.com/ vibes. I think I'm going to go for this aesthetic for my bike club's website.

Happy Thanksgiving! Hackernews has been a godsend for me and my success as a software engineer is owed in part to this forum. I grew up the son of an English teacher. As a kid, I was always encouraged to look up words I didn't know in

While I'm not sure about the sexual partners statistic, I certainly believe the age-range one. This is obviously anecdotal, but as someone with a large-ish social group in their late twenties it is extremely common to see women with pa

I've been running a Thinkpad X1 Carbon with those specs for about two years. They're pretty cheap on the used (ebay) market.

The Dell XPS 13 has slightly better support (for Ubuntu at least) and has official documentation on their website. You can even buy one with Ubuntu preinstalled. I had to tweak one or two bios options for my X1 6th gen, the XPS 13 worked fl

I've been using an X1 Carbon running Ubuntu (18.04 until 19.04 came out, then upgraded) with Gnome 3 for about a year and some change as my primary development machine. Hardware-wise I have no complaints. It's incredibly light, ex

At that point why not just run Ubuntu? Unless you're REALLY deep in the Apple ecosystem, moving from MacOS to Ubuntu or Mint is really easy.
