Wow... so you have to pay tax on money you actually don't have in your wallet yet? This would be a bit of bonkers since, in fact, you may never get to the point when you get real money from your shares... Can US citizens do anything to

Thanks, indeed privacy is the thing though I'm OK to DIY whatever it takes as long as instance itself will not have some holes I can't patch or mitigate. What do you mean 'all instances are public'? I thought it's p

Thanks! I'm going to run simple CRUD app, most funciness sits on FE. My rough estimate is the service will only have to sustain ~3k users overall, max ~10-20 simultaneous users.

I used to listen to Joe Satriani albums, Crystal Planet was getting me into the mood, also Super Collossal was OK. Other albums are OK too, he almost never repeats himself. I also liked Starblast ost, it had good tempo.

I joined SO in 2013 and was asking questions since then and had no problem with moderation. But it takes effort to ask question, I always aim to gather all bits of information I already know and if possible write minimal working example (ma

I wanted to say this same sentence. I'm on arch since 2010 and it's 2023 now- it's really not the same arch as back then (and I enjoyed 2010 arch too)

I used to watch youtube channels where people post their videos that are supposed to record bad drivers. Many times I was under impression that person who was recording was actually law offenders, driving in aggresive way, and yet they were

I had similar problem early in my career. I improved myself by applying the mix of three: 1. If the change requested was not major I was making mental push to agree and just do it, in many cases comments were not about the very substance of

Long time ago the company I helped build hired my friend. I took him in as I knew him very well and knew how hard working person he was. He was hired as junior, he made good 2 years with us and then I helped him to hone his interview skills

I'm the same, what I did some time ago was to team up with people who decided to build real business around one of ideas and put real money to back it. Now I wish I could just give up ;)

I used many linux distributions since 2002 until I finally landed at arch linux in 2010 and use it as my home distro since then. I think to be linux user is more state of the mind, when something does not work you enjoy the process of makin

I don't pay much attention to all noise about generative AI (although I must admit, I'm so impressed with chatgpt). This might be wishful thinking but I do believe AI has looooong way before it will be able to fix bugs in existing

I turned Twitter off in 2020. It was easy since I had experience disconnecting, I got rid of my TV and radio in 2010 :) I agree it helps to focus, but unfortunately investors and CEOs are plugged in and enter into panic mode (at least my CE
