If they do serious financial work I for sure hope they do not use Excel or any other spread sheet tool. It can go wrong so many ways.

Your reasoning makes no sense. If you swap a stock for another you have tu use the closing price of that day as you sell/buy price respectively and you trigger a tax event. Forex is also typically taxed on every trade.

Thanks. Well, in that case I would for sure select KDE Plasma over XFCE as it feels more modern from a design point of view and for someone coming from Windows or MacOS they would probably feel more at home.

Maybe not to install, but to chose what to install. Saying "install Debian instead of Ubuntu" is not a complete answer, because you have to select a window manager as well. If you go "pure" Debian, what should you then s

Good point, but is Google Docs more compatible with MS Office than Libre Office? Can one work fricitonless between a Google Docs user and an MS Word user? There is also OnlyOffice as an alternative to Google Docs. https://www.onl

They can not, as Nvidia owns very little of its own stock. It's the owners of the Nvidia stock who potentially could trade their Nvidia stocks for the other 230 companies stocks. But then they have no Nvidia stocks anymore, on the othe

The keyboard issue when switching from Windows/Linux to Mac is understated. It's a pain and I think it's worse for non-english keyboards/characters. You have to use plugins/3rd party software and relearn new keys.

The article does not discuss what to use instead of Microsoft's products, it discusses a better architecture for authorization than the one Microsoft uses. The architecture which Microsoft uses is flawed and too many companies rely on

While your comment makes sense if you were commenting on an Apple or Samsung phone, but this is a Linux phone. We should be glad there are Linux phones being made available at all and the smallest problem is if there is a camera bump or not

I agree. I think the reason why Rails (and Laravel) set the default to SQLite is that it makes it easier for newcomers to start. No install needed of MySQL/Postgres. The problem with making this the default is that people then think it

The issue with size I have with phones is that they are too high, so I cannot have it in my jeans front pocket and then sit down. Thinness has not been an issue in the last 10-15 years. A thin phone is also very hard to hold, it kind of fli

For stocks on the stock market, yes, but not if it is your own private company. Then the taxes are much higher.

I suppose the person means that you have to pay about 50% in taxes to take out the capital/profit from the company before you can use it as a private person.

Laravel builds on Symfony so it is in some way natural that more real products/applications are released based on Laravel than on pure Symfony. Laravel has more functions built in and more practical packages for real use cases. Develop

Yes, a standard Linux computer is the way to go. I would argue most people do not need complicated redundant drive setups. A regular computer with a standard SSD works fine. Probably good to start out with a new one though and not reuse an

I'm curious. Why do you need four monitors for you workflow? Is it to avoid using Alt-Tab or similar to switch between apps? Do you have to be able to see all four monitors at exactly the same time? Couldn't having two monitors an
