So morality aside, I imagine dealing with large amounts of money that you can't explain the origin of isn't simple. You can't just do a bank transfer, so you're probably getting paid on crypto. Converting the crypto to f

Yeah, I really feel like AMD is struggling with the software aspect. Even back when they were ATI and AMD bought them, the ATI drivers were garbage compared to Nvidia (from my PC gaming experience). After a few AMD and ATI cards, I just acc

You don't _need_ to squash, if you don't want too. You can merge and use conventional commits for the merges. Then git log --first-parent gives you the change log whilst also not not forcing you to squash.

This is absolutely amazing! Did you get permission to do this or did you have to tip the guards there? I wish I saw something like this before going in. For those that don't know, guides aren't allowed into the tombs. So you kinda

I always wonder how #2 works, does all/most communication happen asynchronously? Doesn't that just slow everything down? 1&3 are more important to me than 2. I just plan my location by thinking about the hours I want to work.

Eh, it's not really the same, because you need to be available. You can't go do something outside and be unreachable even if you're mentally checked out.

It's the latter. It sounds like they got suspended because they told their users (i.e students) to give them their canvas API tokens so that they could fetch course materials on their behalf. Previously, students had to download the PD

The problem with xorg is per monitor scaling. If your laptop is 4k and you want 2x scaling and your external monitor is a 32" 4k monitor that doesn't need scaling (or 1.25x) then you're basically shit out of luck with Xorg. I

If neovim had a proper gui, you could move away from some of the limitations of the terminal. The biggest being using fixed width characters for drawing UI elements. Emacs does it pretty well, one of the few things that makes me jealous of

I don't really see how that helps you when you're trying to modify a SPA. As soon as you try to use JavaScript to modify anything, you need to figure out how to run that JS after whatever framework has finished rendering. Usually
