To clarify my earlier comment I know "to fire" and "to let go" are quite different - the former implies you broke contract, be it illegal means or poor performance reasons. "to let go" means redundancy. It appe

In the UK we do have some protections depending on length of time with the company. There is some framework for redundancy payments. The US culture of "at will employment" (i.e fire you on the spot for little reason) gives me anx

Buying an external US Robotics 56k modem allowed me to get online with RedHat 8 (boxset purchased from Amazon, IIRC), as the PC I had contained a PCI Win-modem with no compatible Linux drivers. It was a friend at school who introduced me t

I was diagnosed a few years back and use the same drug - the difference is night and day for me. Astonishing difference to my life! When people ask if I'm frustrated/angry that it took until I was mid-30s to get diagnosed, I respo

How do you find the performance for day to day use? My MBA early 2017 (i5/8GB/256) is always nagging me to upgrade to Big Sur, but I did that once (via clean install) and it was terribly slow. Within a few days I was clean install

If the role requires 3yrs experience it's evidently not targeted at "fresh" graduates, but those looking to move on from their first job. Graduate roles are more about learning the ropes of corporate life than anything else,
