We've descended into this clickbait driven world of absolutes, when the reality are shades of grey. Language agnostic folks are great (awesome) for being able to contribute in multiple places. There's a cost to pay, but one that&#

Personal, targeted gene thereapy for cancers. I can already buy insurance that covers, and provides this therapy. It's become a reality here in Israel - I assume it's about to be so elsewhere.

I use technology, rather than allowing it to us me - as does my family. We're Orthodox Jews, but more than that we (as in my family) fail to see the majority of the utility most technologies provide. Effort saving technology is fantast

I went insane setting up key combinations for everything in VSCode specifically so that I never have to use my mouse. It's painful - but it works. Eventually your fingers just remember.

I want the freedom to do whatever I want, and however I want to my machine. I can do all of this on my Android(s). I can install debian on my Android with x11 in a sandbox and work if I need to (and have). But what I want again - is freedo

I've said this before, but I'll share it here. This is my current interview process for any front end dev, regardless of level, including the thinking that goes into it. The whole thing is designed to take 2 hours or less. Note:

I'm fascinated, ongoingly by a Linux phone. I spent effort making many versions of the Sharp Zaurus cellular(ish) back in the day, even going as far as writing a sync tool for Evolution back in 2003. I'd love a Linux cellphone. M

Bump it up a crazy notch. Take that same watermelon, and eat a small slice of feta and basil with it. It's even more mouth watering, and now comes with added protein. This might be my favourite thing on earth - I'm finally off fre

This isn't a tax avoidance scheme at all. There are countless, easier ways to do this frankly. VPNs help obfuscate the ability to trace the individual - nothing more. My ultimate goal is to have a passport issued to this individual. It

So.. I'd suggest a project of mine. Full disclosure, you require more than one burner device. Ultimately you'll want a VPN you can trust. Also - it depends how much your anonymity is worth to you, and your relative cost. Similarly

Instead, I offer to share a private GitHub repository, (if not some open source) with the prospective employer. It offers them the ability to see how my code changed over time, how it ended up, and the quality and calibre I may or may not

As someone who deals with this every single day - frankly, it's at best painful, at worst nonexistent.. There is no CI that properly behaves in M1 land, if it exists at all. Sure, I can use the gcc to create a binary - but create and e

I love Canada - but our government has always been idiotic. The ban is against 'foreign investors'. But the thing is, Canada has a corporate designation called CCPC: Canadian Controlled Private Corporation. Directors of said corp

There's something cross cultural here that just doesn't cross. I can't relate. I'm responsible for me - my success, my failures. I also sure as hell better check on my neighbour and lend a hand. Fulfilment comes from wit

No, it literally doesn't. I've done exactly this - 3 times, in two different countries. It's no different than saying "here's the number at my desk in work".

I'm on your side of the fence - but with very aggressive whitelisting. You're in my phone book or not. I block 100% of calls that aren't in my phonebook, if they don't originate with my voip provider. All of my incoming

Temptation bundling fixes this for me. I force myself to do whatever task I dislike, and as a reward get to then do whatever I like. Eventually you retrain yourself to execute equally in both spheres.

Having worked directly for a Reuters subsidiary, I would never pretend they're not biased. All news is biased. The only question is whether or not it matches the bias of the reader at the time.

There are several options (including my domain host) that seem very attractive. Shockingly so is iCloud. My only iCloud issue (and I have ZERO Apple products) is that I can't find a way to mount the storage on Linux. If I could do that
