Another option is zoom. While screen sharing you can request remote control from the other side.

Why not move to $ANOTHER_STARTUP? Start fresh. This happens. Larger organisations have "larger" processes. Your skills are in demand. Just take them elsewhere...

All I know is that at this point I'm getting Cookie Rage every time I have to click on those cookie consent popups. Some are better than others. Some are so bad I give up and leave the site (Admiral, I'm looking at you). It's

I am exactly how he describes. I cannot visualise anything and I don't have an internal voiceover. I do however recall abstracts and concepts. So if I saw an elephant before I'd be able to bring up the concept of the elephant. Not

That's also an imbalance, assuming we want to keep "free" on the table. Now ads are centralised, and one has to elect to go to a special portal to see ads. This won't pay for all the stuff we get for "free" bu

To be honest, if I'm going to see ads anyway, I rather them at least try to be relevant and not random. However, the current situation is out of balance. If my browser is loading an insane amount of tracking networks and my memory/

I love this. My ambition is to become less busy (i.e., retire) to do stuff like that; fun code, with no obligations.

I waited, for a good while and jumped into the game on a high end PC around the time of the 1.3 patch. And I loved it. I don't usually clock over 90 hours in a game, but I easily done it here.

I mentioned this on another reply, but Windows has as far as I remember a way to wrap a Python program as an exe executable. Maybe it's time for python to have a universal go-like binary. Yes, a 1KB program will turn into a 300MB behem

you need to take advice with a grain of salt. Python is fine for CLI tools, just like Go is fine for them. If you know Python, that weird statement in the article was not for you. I honestly don't get what the problem is. You know Pyth

This is exactly it. Your chances of getting rich off that 0.n% are about the same as the percentage itself. The odds are stacked against you and there is an element of luck to any startup, regardless of how good the idea and execution is. B

I don't think there is (or should be) a "default". Default selections suggest they are picked "just because". There is a problem/use-case and a tool to solve it. Sometimes it's relational, sometimes it

All "movements" have some merit, or they wouldn't exist in the first place. Nobody starts a "movement" just because. It exists because it solves something. "NoSQL" was a solution to something. Today you ca
