Same here. I love Dropbox, but more and more often I am completely quitting and closing the Dropbox client because it takes over the computer processing. I welcome all the new features they are developing, I just wish they would release a D

I used to be a Lawyer and transitioned to IT, though my Law experience is not in the US. I agree that there is a big misconception about lawyers and wages in most places. In Brazil, where I started, some lawyers really do make a lot of mone

This is such a cool idea. As an ex-lawyer turned developer, I wish I had thought of that. In my career, I probably wrote 1000+ corporate contracts, but most of those were about +/- 8 types of contracts with 80% of clauses repeated. Me

True. The title is more dire than the actual content of the article.

This article will likely get picked up by other media vehicles and sensationalized, but the writing on the link is very sober and very clear that they are just investigating. I actually liked it a lot and will save this for when people star

Maybe classifying Intel as a sinking ship may be too much of an exaggeration. Competitors maybe passed them in the last couple of years, but Intel is still in a really solid position to turn things around. Apple's situation was a lot m

I do the same. I even used the terminal commands to change the granularity of the blocks and extend the length. And the same things happens to me. A lot of times I don't even want or think of going to HN, Reddit, Twitter. I'm just

We've been using Cypress at work and we (well, at least I) have a love-hate relationship with it. Coming from Capybara in Rails, it is a very noticeable improvement. Unlike others here, we never really had issues with the chaining. We

That was an amazing read but, to me, the whole thing sounds to me more like a second job than a hobby, if I'm being honest. Obviously different people relate differently with those side activities but your dedication to learn chess put

I remember being very excited about it years and years ago but, as far as I remember, the maintainer stopped updating it and nobody was up to pick the project up. Unfortunately the blog does not have dates but the last update on the repo is

I don't think that is true. Sadly, sports is the one big thing that still prevents most people from cutting cord for real, but I prefer the current "multi streaming service" world a lot more than the old cable world. As I sai

Basically the same that I'm doing. If I am in the middle of something in one, I'll just renew it. Works really well. Usually by the time you go back to the first service, there are some pretty interesting new things that might sli

I tried to keep all examples very, very general not to spoil anything. As a good sci-fi, the books will use some magic here and there, but it is very discrete, in my opinion. Not even close to what most popular space stories do for convenie

Not sure if it is on the same level of realism as those listed for evertyhign, but "The Expanse" series by James S. A. Corey for me was a breath of fresh air. The book really considers things like the time it would take to go fro

In Brazil's case, they don't need to do that. The law establishes that to be considered an employee/employer relationship, there needs to be a level of control from the employee's journey/hours, etc. That control si

They just do not agree with the Superior court's decision, so they keep giving those rulings knowing full well they will be reverted. Labour Justice is its own court in Brazil. They have their own structure that only judges labour issu

by hugocbp 6y ago
This is very important. I also posted my own comment about this. There were dozens of rulings like this in Brazil already. They all got reversed in upper instances.

by hugocbp 6y ago
Just to put this in context, this is a first instance ruling. There were dozens of those already in Brazil, but they are all reverted in upper instances because the supreme Labour Court has already decided they are not employees (Brazilian

As a corporate lawyer that transitioned to software engineering, I'd say lawyers need to learn to code about just as much as everyone else. Coding is clearly really useful for repetitive stuff and to deal with lots of data, but from my

I'm from Belo Horizonte now living in Canada... Mostly moved because couldn't take the anxiety of being in fear every single time I had to leave home. Most people just play the numbers game. I, for example, have been robbed at gun

That is really impressive! Do you have any resources like blog posts sharing more details on some of those strategies? I would be interested in reading about your experience.

It was featured a lot in Brazil as well up until Season 2. For a whole month it was the only thing that showed featured for me. So much so that I watched the first episode and bought the books (because the story is very condensed on TV). It

This is great! I always had this idea of trying to "build my own" to learn stuff ever since I followed along a book called "Rebuilding Rails" and so much stuff "clicked" for me. I've already starred the re

So, I decided to go back to study Math from the very basics to try some more advanced Data Science stuff later and I'm really enjoying Krista King's courses on Udemy. They are very clear and straight to the point. She currently ha

The difference here is that voting is compulsory and a much bigger part of the population can barely read, let alone judge more complex situations. In the US, the "stupid" (as you call them) voters can stay at home if they are uni

I say it is a start... The thing is, the data is already public, but the volume is just so big that nobody paid much attention. Now, at very least, some politicians will be weary of spending something that MIGHT look suspicious. Mostly the

That looks really good. Already downloading to test it out.

That looks awesome! I've been waiting and asking Evernote to do something similar for years, to the point where I just gave up writing long notes there.

I also found it awesome! I too don't have a need for it yet, but I'll sure take a look at it later when the need arrives!

I completely agree with you. I'm really excited about Elm, specially because of the quality of everything in the community and ecosystem, but to say that the syntax is better than HTML or that it is readable by non-programmers is a bit
