My excuse for longing for something non-CRA is updating an existing frontend to React piece by piece. To integrate it with the existing Django app’s asset pipeline, I kind of had to eject and now my Webpack configuration and its dependencie

Yes. Ergonomics and work-life balance are in worse situation than we could imagine a year or two ago. And some anticipate this appalling situation to be "a new normal" for years to come. Thought workers coming out of their dens in

I got compensated for my unvested options at an acquisition, with a mix of cash and stock of the acquiring company. I was paid a fair salary (initially, at least) and did not have to buy any shares, so I kind of earned extra 30 k€ (before t

That seems somewhat universal. I remember attending the first suggested university course on math and barely recognising what was written on the first page of the material. It turned out that the material was written well before the high sc

The cheapest candy bar phones available started having 3rd gen (WCDMA) network support around 2010, so GSM-only handsets should be out of active use. Of course the classic monochrome Nokia phones will cease working once GSM is shut down. On

I can't even scroll the page on my computer using Safari. It just freezes immediately. Is a Core i5-6500 already too old for Web browsing?

There are huge differences in alcohol prices across Europe (and in wages, too). In the Balkans or Portugal the shot could cost 1-2 euros, and in Norway over 10 euros.

Yeah. There are workstations and workstations. Why would the original poster's single Haswell- or Skylake-based Core i7 CPU in his workstation waste more energy than a single Skylake-based Core i7 CPU on a new gaming machine? Also, his

Maybe Elon should visit Europe or Asia and check out an underground mass rapid transit system or two. They have two orders of magnitude larger capacity. And even their capacity is finite. And keep in mind that the NYC Subway and the London
