I'm in the same situation. I'm demotivated as I'm not that interested in the promotion opportunities as I wouldn't enjoy management. I think working in a different company would be be better. I'm considering a small

I'll leave this H.L. Mencken quote here that aptly describes the Economist. The nature of periodicals and newspapers especially militant, crusading ones is timeless. “One of the principal marks of an educated man is the fact that he do

I'm curious why you consider a periodical that you admit is heavily biased and has a certain agenda, the "most respected". I read the Economist occasionally with exactly the caveat that you mention, it is an extremely biased

I moved to brave when they made that blog post [1]. I’m very happy although I agree it’s better to have competition in the browser space. I’ve also moved to brave search recently after DuckDuckGo announced they were downgrading Russian si

In Ireland the national grid is under strain due to electricity usage from data centres, so much so that there is discussion to deny permission for new ones. I very much doubt that the electricity costs are negligible, it’s also one of the

I’ve tried both blumat and arduino style watering, in the end the water can is the simplest and most reliable. Sometimes technology doesn’t enhance things e.g. the soil moisture sensor gets wet, doesn’t give good readings, hard to calibrate

I live in Ireland and get less than €70k as a senior dev. Ireland is considered to have relatively high salaries for software developers, at least in a Europe.

I haven't heard of FreeOffice before, it looks like an interesting product. How do they support devlopment? It is closed source and doesn't appear to have a pricing model. EDIT: Investigating a bit more there appears to be a paid

Yeah I moved away from FF as well after they got too political, very happy with Brave.

I was more thinking along the lines of what’s this PayPal deposit to “furry art 4 u” (not my thing btw) or “Free Ross Ulbrict” with the mortgage advisor rather than anything requiring block chain analysis. How would anyone at work know your

I think many underplay the real advantages of crypto assuming it’s all used for nefarious reasons, I use crypto quite frequently now, especially BCH (Bitcoin Cash), I can send this internationally for less than the cost PayPal changes for i

Sanitary is a good way to describe it to be frank. It’s relatively cordial but also not someplace you come for unconventional opinions or out of the box thinking.

I like the substack model, in order to comment you must be subscribed to the newsletter (say $5 per month), while others can read the article and comments.

I agree 100% but his path to the grail was stifled where he was. He made the right decision to escape but maybe he would have been better off living like Grigori Perelman and devoting himself mind body and soul to the grail. That’s what it

It's a beautifully written essay but he misses the obvious. What was the point of spending all this time in what he admits but doesn't make explicit was a dead end. He would have ended up spending his life pretending to make impor

What is federation in this context? Does not federated mean not using a jailbroken phone? Or is it related to how the app is installed? Or the underlying infrastructure relying on a central server instead of distributed?

I’ve just never really used word by sticking to a theme, and tend to end up using custom formatting quite a bit e.g. I use heading 2 where I shouldn’t and should be using heading 1, use paragraphs in the wrong place etc. Use some custom for

Agree, pandoc makes the best word files IMO. It doesn’t allow you to make too many style formatting changes so write in markdown and use pandoc to create the word file using simple headers, standard formatting. Seems hard to replicate this

My understanding was that the real action takes place in the anonymous chat rooms on the Bloomberg terminal, But I don't know if this is true.

Could you expand a bit on this? Do you mean the quality of the people in employment has gone downhill or do you mean that equality of life for employees has reduced? Less job security, poorer working conditions etc?

I grew up in Western Europe and experienced exactly what the author of the article is talking about so it’s not just an American experience. However, there was a strong American cultural influence e.g. shows like Saved by the Bell, Fresh Pr

Assuming his claims are correct it seems a pity to resign due to online pressure. In his position, and provided I had the support of the management I would have stayed and not let a baseless online smear campaign force me out. Leaving this

I thought it was much better back then, you could find niche sites that were of interest. Google seems to have banned all the interesting wild content that made the internet so fascinating in its early days. Blogs seem to have disappeared c

Exactly, the single feature that made me use google over yahoo/altavista was the clean interface, I was using dial up back then and it loaded very quickly the others were covered in ads.

Seems like a rogue presidential order wouldn't get past the "war room at the Pentagon", they need to actually send the message to the silos. I assume they are fully aware of the threat level and aren't going to level Lon

Depends if your goal is to sell ASAP. I know that in my part of Europe the government agencies that support small businesses with grants etc hate when they sell to foreign competitors as most likely outcome is IP transfer and breakup of a

This doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all, allows the french company to further develop independently while still being locally owned... maybe bad for the owners but not necessarily for French society
