What about projects people made for fun and put it online because they're proud of it? It's also common advice to put your portfolio online. They really don't show up in internet searches as far I've seen.

Personally I use borg with BorgTUI ( https://github.com/dpbriggs/borgtui ) to schedule backups and manage sources/repositories. I'm quite pleased with the simplicity of it compared to some of the other solution

More useful yet is knowing how to derive the quadratic equation as was in my curriculum (small public highschool in Canada).

Four hours of time off in lieu (or money) for a noon to midnight shift on weekdays and eight hours on a weekend. It ends up being around a 10-15% bonus.

Not everyone has heard this advice or is in the audience for which it's important. Andreas' audience includes a lot of young people for which this is valuable.

Git has some really good ideas that are hard to translate into a good UI. There exists several companies that implement UIs for git that are great - Kraken, Github Desktop, etc. There's nothing better than magit but few people use emac

I wonder how the broken window fallacy plays into this. I would assume a healthy population is more productive than a diseased one. That effects healthcare profits though, so incentives aren't exactly aligned.

The child abuse, while awful, is independent of investing attitudes. An equivalent narrative could be spun in the opposite direction about "playing it safe as he did with his father's mood". The vast majority of investors don

I respect the principles but with all due respect I thibk you could do a lot of good by selling them and giving the money to charity. Most of the people buying crypto are speculators, let them fund charity.

In my admitted limited experience (small amounts at work and in personal projects) it's some integer multiplier. For routine code it's really nice. But for something more complicated it was distracting. Copilot had an opinion of w

As with everything in Serenity - why not? It's fun and people are motivated to work on it. If that wasn't the case it wouldn't be a project. And that's not meant to be a pithy response. That's the Serenity culture.

Oh neat, I didn't know that existed. That's a combination of what I was trying to say above. If your for loop body is infallible then for_each is good enough. If you're trying to 'collect' some iterator into some da

Both iterator examples have alternatives where you don't need a for loop. Try using for_each and you can collect an iterator of results into a single Result<_> you can then early return with. Both of those are made cleaner by not

Ah yes, the economic trick of buying the "average" house thousands of kilometers away from where I live. The average house where I live starts at four hundred thousand. Much more if you want detached. Thanks the advice. I'll

Why do you feel the need to apologize for racism? It isn't necessary in this conversation.

While that income sounds like a lot it doesn't stretch to buying a home every 3-5 years. Are you taking about getting a mortgage? I make more than that but it's unrealistic I'll be owning a fully paid off house in 3-5 years.

Similar story here. I did stop using Uber Eats after the Nth order of the guy travelling with your food to the other side of the city working for some other app. Terrible user experience. They seem to be aware of it with the recent campaign

For me it housed mocp (later Spotify) and a GUI file manager on occasion. It's nice to leave the first three desktops clean.

I've had this exact setup for nearly a decade. Sometimes Slack (or Google Chat) ends up on desktop four. It really cuts down on distractions.

A lot of these exchanges have suddenly died because they printed more currency than could be reasonably liquidated on short notice. And borrowed heavily against these tokens. When the bank goes bust there's insurance on your deposits.

There's a human rights concern leaving them in to wallow in their filth. Nevermind the expensive and depressing reality of dumping them in some strange tiled house. I also can't imagine them appreciating strangers forcing themselv
