Regarding Pro #4: Wouldn't you still need a signaling server to establish that P2P connection and handle network switches and reconnections and such?

+1 to ProtonMail. I've been using it for several years and was recently grandfathered into their Proton Unlimited plan that allows for additional domains, extra storage, etc. They have had technical issues a couple of times since I sta

There are many serial services like this, and Amazon recently launched its own with Vella. This can be a valid model, but in my opinion it would be unfortunate if it totally replaced the model of publishing the entire book at once. These ki

All I have is personal anecdotes as an Eastern European woman in STEM. Both my parents were engineers. Father a marine engineer. Mother was an early days programmer in the days of punch cards, and also told stories of working as a researche

That isn't the fear. The fear is that you as an author will not be paid for your work of creating and publishing the material because whoever wants a copy of the book will go pirate it instead of paying you. Luckily, for now, piracy do

Thank you! The book club is for short stories, and your comment inspired me to go and actually check out this week's stories. They turned out to be way more interesting than I was expecting, so I've RSVPed yes to the event. Thanks

I posted a video here: https://twitter.com/Lazer/status/1573653943254716417 Though for some reason after upload the first 12-ish seconds of playback are frozen for me. You can skip forward a bit for some rock-prow

Today I cycled to a nice coffee shop nearby and wrote a couple of chapters of my book there. I also took my cat for a walk earlier. Aside from what, watching some shows, reading, more writing, and laundry. I'm trying to convince myself

I think I can relate to what you are describing. I absolutely love solitude, making my own plans, indulging in my own hobbies by myself. But sometimes, I get the feeling that I want some kind of connection. I want to go to a movie, or brunc

I am unsure how your response relates to my comment because I specified residency. I'm aware countries don't often issue ID cards to tourists or other non-residents. I specified residency in my comment, because I (mistakenly, it s

I noticed this divide in the given advice as well: some say to carefully tailor each application to the job, others say to fire and forget. I think if you're sending 200 applications out the fire and forget way might be more manageable

I think of it as the server instrumentation being obfuscated away. I don't really like the name because it seems misleading, but the offerings themselves can be really handy.

I'm really curious about learning of some countries that don't provide ID cards to residents. One of the first things my family had to do when moving to any new country was go and get some kind of identification issued.

I think the only thing we can conclude from that is that they're not willing to risk their own lives for it. It says nothing about their overall sentiment about the invasion itself.

I just moved into a rental house after years of living in apartments with district heating. I still paid for electricity in my apartment, but there was less direct control and a smaller space to heat. This winter, I'll be heating a ful

They also comply with this for social media accounts on domains you don't own if you can show somehow that it's your account. In my case, it was enough to email archive.org with a Twitter profile exclusion request with the same em

Sometimes, and I think it's a problem. I find on those nights I don't actually tend to fall asleep in a peaceful way, and my sleep tends to not be as good in general. Sometimes the audio will keep me awake past my natural falling

Not nearly at 15 years here, but my partner and I have the same arrangement right now. We talked early about keeping finances separate. We have _fairly_ similar mindsets to spending and saving, which I think helps. I make a bit more for now

I don't think that means the solution is to recommend they do 10lb sets with bad form though; it's more like they should learn proper technique instead, regardless of what their target weight is.

Could you please clarify your point? I presented the first two sentences you quoted as an elaboration on why the Swedish CEO taking a dab at unions was surprising to me, so yes it is indeed a reason. I have a feeling that's not what yo

Having a collective agreement is not a prerequisite for being a union member. It is common to be part of a union even if the company does not have a collective agreement (such as the games company I worked for after EA; no collective agreem

Swedish unions aren't perfect for sure, but so far I've only had positive experiences myself. I've luckily never had an actual conflict at work to bring my union in over though, so the extent of my experience has been calling

The only companies I've worked for in Sweden have been tech companies, and union membership was very common. At EA we had a collective agreement, along with some other larger games companies here iirc. Many people are members but don&

Aren't certain states actively trying to make it illegal to go out of state for an abortion or support others in doing so[0]? If this is true, that doesn't sound the same at all; I know of no such attempts actively under way in t
