LinkedIn is so spammy, I hate it. The recruiters don't even read your profile, and you feel like a jungle explorer trying to find how to turn off all the notifications

I know its for-profit, but I hope members of the Gnome community pitch in where they can. This phone would be a big deal if it was a success. If I wasn't so busy lately, it would be neat to try to get the Anki AppImage working on it

That sounds stressful, I'm sorry to hear How often does this sort of thing come up in freelancing? On average, do freelancers make as much as full time employees over say a 5 year span? (For absolute emergency cash, you could hit up a

Apparently SR&ED in specific is an amazing subsidy, it can fund almost half of your R&D labour spending IIRC?

There appears to be a lot fewer very high paying jobs too. I have known some people who have made $250+, but it (anecdotally) seems very rare and was usually related to oil and gas money that is disappearing lately

I used to use android and I had my voice assistant turned off. When I switched to iPhone and enabled Siri, it was because I thought Apple was different. This recent news has made me feel a little gross. A voice assistant has negative value

MBSR is well studied and proven, but it’s worth noting that meditation has only recently become an area of medical research. If we insisted on the rule that we only try what is proven through research, meditation would have “gone extinct” t

Sometimes when I have insomnia I sort of daydream instead of sleeping. When I get up, I am more rested than the 3-4 hours or actual sleep would suggest. I had wondered if the daydreaming was similar enough to sleep to be a poor substitute

Apparently a non trivial percent of the population gets by with 5-6 hours due to having a certain gene. I had assumed it was quite rare, but found out that I know several of them. They are more awake during the day than I am.

The waking up app was more to my taste personally. I’m not a consistent practitioner however

I basically like the approach, but I'm a bit wary after playing devils advocate with it for a moment. A candidate might reasonably assume that they can look better than the other candidates by spending more time on the problem and tack

The reason it can recover is the biodiversity, according to an ecology book I read once. As we reduce our biodiversity, the recovery is slightly less certain in an extreme case. Our attempts at biodomes show (at least as of 15 years ago whe

My LinkedIn is full of spammy recruiter messages. Every message is a copy pasted blurb with the name substituted. I like to compare it to online dating: those poor women getting dozens (or hundreds on the dating sites) of messages by people

I want to take the opportunity to blame SEO for this. The top results are games so hard that not-rarely the first page is nothing but spammy seo sites now. Depends a lot on what you are searching for though.

I think the upcoming 16 inch MacBook will be a little thicker than before, and with one of the the older keyboards. They are maybe modifying their vision a tiny bit since their design lead left
