   The Logitech MX Ergo has been a game changer for me. I'm totally fine on a 87key QWERTY board (I use a Realforce 87UB), but the Apple mouse I was using was wrecking my wrist. Horrible things.

   Only twitter and only partially. The app (iOS) works OK save for viewing individual timelines. It shows a "user does not exist" error. This resolves when I disable the VPN though. My personal feed works without issue including dis

   I'm using WireGuard on an AWS Lightsail instance. Current uptime on the instance is 695 days, its not missed a beat. Cost is ~$4 per month.

   In the European companies they are not. From my experience (UK Financial Services primarily), they are equivalent to a US Staff Engineer with authority over Design and Implementation. Typically looking after a team or two of engineers of va

   Must admit to being disappointed with recent Ubiquiti developments. The requirement to 'Sync Local Admin with Ubiquiti SSO' for controller authentication is not great. At least as far as I can tell, this means your local controlle

   The best user behaviour on receiving a potentially 'fishy' email is to not click any inks, but to go directly to the site in question and change your password, if you feel the email is genuine in anyway.

    I don't see the FAANG companies offering specific roles for "Architect" like the old school enterprises do. Architecture is something to reason about as a team and the accountability of architecturally significant decisions s

    I work in UK FS in London as a contractor. The work is pretty lucrative (for the UK) but not overly exciting. It possible to make this sort of money (I do not) but it is extremely rare. Most of the >£100k permanent (not contract) jobs I
