There was a time in my life I worked with somebody who was creating situations similar to the one described by OP. Though in my case all leadership was consisting of people who aimed on creating toxic situations. At the time it felt I was n

I host my mail for around 12 years so only half as long as the author of the article, I faced the same problem- that my emails land in spam for some people. In most cases it's those people who care to receive my email and I always tell

I love my super heavy and bulky Lenovo P53. Love it for horsepower, also because Arch runs on it n without problem, and finally because tech support exceeded my expectations, doing cleaning after 2 years for free (part of cleaning was to re

You are 23. Knowing what you know live your life in such way that in the age of 40 you regret nothing. That's what I did, though my wake-up age was 26 and before reaching that age I was wasting my life on, well, worse things in many wa

I run my own email server too, many will not because of fear of missconfiguring it- and in some respect they are correct, first thing I have done wrong 11-ish years ago was to make my server an open relay which was cought in 5 minutes from

I have recently paid literally for that. In the mountain village where I was spending my holidays they charged me tax because of the air I was breathing. They called it 'climate tax' but the better translation is 'environment

You hate what I love :) I love heavyness of my laptop, and the fact I have all resources I will need in predictable future. Bu as I said, many of my colleagues are ranting about this so it's not for everyone :)

Well, looks like I'm going back to old good Mantis and Jenkins on my own server. Good old times are back :)

Can you elaborate what would constitute high bar? Another Google or Facebook? Or maybe hadron collider? Why does making money mean low bar to you? The guy is making a web app which other people want to pay for, looks like just about the rig

Since late 2019 I have been using Lenovo P53 fitted with 128Gb of RAM and RT3000 NVidia GPU. I run Arch on it, I plan to stay on this laptop until something fatally breaks (my guess is it will be SSD, which I will replace) This laptop is mo

I'm no expert and try to judge based on what I personally experienced, and I get your point. But I also know this is not how businesses operate. Having seen it from the inside, hearing those conversations, I know business decision make

In my opinion this makes sense, what would be the incentive to hire there if wages were the same?

by gwnywg 4y ago
To my knowledge you pay for invoices, you are not actually hiring. It's quite similar to buying other goods from abroad (like cheese, or printer ink). There are plenty US companies 'hiring' in Poland, where in reality they do

I had felt the same in 2015 when I got banned from Facebook for not providing my real data (they asked me to provide a photo of my ID which I thought and still think was silly). But then I realised how good it was for me (as a user) and sta

I'm sorry to read about your bad experience, it reinforces my opinion that to have business model relying on Google (or AWS or whoever else) will lead to such business to be at risk of being terminated with no reason provided or no rou

Is it too far to ask how old is your family member? For me I don't see this happening when I do something (like when I read, or have a conversation, or drive). I also don't see this happening more often than when I was in my teens

I will sound naive but I never prepare for interview more than to learn as much as possible what is the company doing. I always felt it's weird to prepare, company still gets 'me' and if it's not enough then the place is
