Well my little company has at least three employees that came back again after leaving. Two of them are still here. We are not particularly interesting ... What I'm advocating for here is trying out new (old) methods of waving your C

I'm probably somewhat older than most here. What OP is describing is what used to be normal and should still be! In the past it was normal to write a CV (resume) and a covering letter that was mildly tailored to each target firm, eith

"I think of GitHub as a collaboration tool." Well yes but git itself is the tool at the base of the pyramid you call GitHub and co. It seems you actively want git to look like all the other things you are used to and they are all

Now look up the temperatures within the water column. I don't see any notes about pressure. Temperature is one axis ... Your charts show several "green house gases" and with some squinting and handwaving could be used to &q

Take a copy of "Usage and Abusage" and blend with Lord Byron after applying suitable libations; toss in the bear for body. Season to taste with the darker dictionary (the parts chained down to protect the reader). Simmer over a

A 10x engineer only needs about five months of experience. So, leave college/uni with your "Desmond" (1) in comparative pornography in Feb 2026, buy a PC/Apple and by now you will be writing Windows Entra 2027 on your ow

On each Spark you can bridge the two interfaces but you cannot bridge those bridges at layer two and it sounds from your post that you are confusing layer two and three (ARPA). So if you have three Sparks, you have three two port switches.

Tell that to my switches and PC servers. They all spin up their fans in one go as soon as power good is received and the initial BIOS thingie has stubbed out its fag on the floor. The PSUs are painting their nails when the fans go off init

I'm still running multiple email systems the "old way". Been doing it for 30 years and don't intend to stop now, both at work and at home. There are a few extra hoops these days to jump through ... but still it moves.

Actually, its ~119GB usable (I have one). You can shutdown a lot of unneeded services if you only use it remote which will trim a lot more fat. You can enable the RDP service if you don't want to sit in front of it but get a desktop

"problems that were hard" They are still hard problems - As we say in the UK: "one swallow does not a summer make". As you well know: birds are not renowned for their arithmetic skills, nor eating encourages the weather!

Replace the word "ejected" with "removed" as appropriate and the error becomes apparent. No one "ejects" an external hard disc, you remove or disconnect it. You do eject a CD or a DVD. Eject is a forceful remo

Given you find this is _normal_ for a six mile ambulance ride: "and $11,670 as a “base rate.”" What on earth would you consider normal for a helicopter ride from Exeter to London? That's roughly 150 miles as the crow flies.

Perhaps (citation needed)! Barrel usage in Britain is a lot older than the Roman occupation of Britain. A cup is not a barrel. If I was to bet, cooper is probably an anglicized form of a brythonic language word. Any Welsh, Scottish, Iris
