   Exactly. I live just outside London, and the big class system is obvious. Most people are in the 3rd tier the OP mentioned, i.e. lower or working class. Most people I know and work with are in the middle class. And there is the unreachable

   I would guess a lot are also not set up at home to work efficiently. I.e. proper desk in a quiet room etc. And if the kids are home from school as well, I assume it is very hard to concentrate on working from home. Also if there is the thre

   That satellite view describes it perfectly. Especially how it is differentiated from a standard 2 lane roundabout. In the UK there are road markings that indicate a similar flow, but this turboroundabout makes it physical. * Raised curbs fo

   I find pairing works well for onboarding new members. Let them watch for a bit (no more than a few hours) to learn how things work. Then let them drive. Let them explore, make mistakes, but accomplish something and push to prod. This should

   I disagree. Though I am not in a position to evaluate her performance as interim CEO, I feel Mozilla and Firefox have moved on a lot in the last few years. When I returned to Firefox a few years ago initially it felt quite behind Chrome, an

   I recently started using the multi-account container addon. And I love it. Just before I also started using Mozilla's Facebook container[1] and it works as intended as well. I know supercookies and other fingerprinting means I am proba

    CockroachDB also changed to BSL[1] last summer. I think it is what a lot of my projects would aim to be. Free to use, tweak, contribute. Free to launch products using it. But not free to launch a service as SAAS or API that does more or les

    You are not alone. I also do have serious imposter syndrome. Not about work but about not being a good enough father. But as with work imposter syndrome, my head knows I am probably ok, it is meant to be hard. But I feel guilty for any time

    I had high hopes for Clef, but unfortunately, it never got the traction it needed. That would require each site to implement server-side components to talk to Clef, and most sites have been ice age slow to implement basic TOTP never mind ye

    The code is usually worthless elsewhere. Too many variances to make it work straight off the shelf into another company's stack and requirements. But the skills to consult and integrate other companies to do the same if priceless. Actu

    To me, it first started out as a key sharing and identity verification service. That was quite useful to me. Then they pivoted to a chat app. I had no need for yet another chat app. Then lately this messy cryptocurrency integration which so

    Duckduckgo is great. But also because the easy !g !gi !tw shortcuts to search in google or twitter as well. Surprised to find lately that a lot of my searches only return relevant results in a twitter search.
