I don't know if it's neutral or not, but it's just factually incorrect. The five demands of the protestors (now six actually) do not include anything about separatism/independent state. (See: https://en.wikipe

I know that your point might be "there's too much to give up", but I believe OP's point is why can't these people give them up? Quick google search for NBA stars' pay: https://www.shmoop.com/car

Curious for you and others who've done similar things -- had you considered sharing a place with roommates at the time? I too have gone through such a phase after college, 12-14 years ago. I worked in the Sacramento area, I was single

Intel may not pay like the FAANGs but I don't think they're terrible to work at like you said. My first job out of college (15 years ago) was at Intel (Folsom) and it was actually relatively peaceful and nice. I left after 2 years

Probably not the kind of famous you're looking for, but there was this article [1] about an author who cut Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Apple from her life who of course would have to use Linux because no Microsoft or Apple

This is probably more common than you'd think. It's not unlike using open source DBs whose maintainers stop working on it, or even open source code libraries in general whose maintainers stop work. Most likely you will weigh the c

This is what I found in my experience as well. I founded a startup in 2013 (and ran it for 3 years) and used Couchbase as our primary data store (a saas that integrates with web sites as customers that received tens of millions DAU). With n

I have a 14-month-old now and my wife and I read a ton of articles on raising children and how to best teach them, talk to them etc. What I have realized in the past 14 months is that, at least during this first year, every problem you&#x27

I work from home now, but when I still commuted (BART train in the bay area), the best purchase was a ultra thin laptop-sleeve-style backpack. On top of being super lightweight, I can sit with it on my back, or I can stand (and not be one o

I think this is a great idea, like others said it's the first time I've seen it. The problem is that almost any use case where this is useful for, is almost surely data that people wouldn't want publicized. A self-hosted vers

Interestingly I have recently purchased one of those third-party solutions (not the one you linked, one that is supposedly an even stronger fan), and these have pretty minimal effect. It helps a little bit, that's about it. I think it&

I'm fully remote now, and am currently still in the bay area (used to work in SF), but planning to move to the Sacramento area by next year. Why Sacramento? 1) Wife and I still have family members in the bay area and we'd like to

I grew up in East Asia and have also never heard of any kids with imaginary friends. This was something I learned of only after moving to America. What I'm curious is now that I live in America and have a kid, will my kid be likely to

Do you think this is repeatable with the housing market nowadays? My gut instinct is it's not, but love to hear your thoughts. The key point in your post/experience seems to be the fact that 8 years ago you moved to a rent-control

I think the main thing to note is your young one is 4 months old, and that's probably just not the time for hobbies or learning outside of baby caring right now. I have a 1 year-old now and I remember the time when she was 4 months old

I didn't know about FullPageOS, very cool. For a full stack web developer, this can give you a wide range of use cases for a Pi. Thanks!

Most comments I see about Medium tend to have this sentiment of "The service and tech suck, but the community and distribution are powerful." In my very anecdotal experience, I've found that posting on Medium only gets me dis

Yeah. If I pick up and it's spam, I just hang up without saying anything. I just have to deal with it once or twice before I get the call I need.

I know this doesn't help your case and may come off as mildly offensive, but I've simply stopped picking up the phone from numbers I don't know (phone set to silent too) a few years ago and it's wonderful. Coworkers call

I think it's a bit harsh and elitist to label this with "unfortunately"; for developers like the ones you mention, often their goal or aspiration is not to work in a FAANG or silicon valley startup; they want to make a decent

Very tangential note: a url like /cgi/search.pl certainly brings back nostalgic memories! Good old days of cgi-bin and perl scripts.
