Can someone shed some light on the full use-case of Tailscale/Zerotier/Nebula please? I may be not getting something fully. The question is this. Say, I use one of the above to form a private mesh network for the nodes that an org

On a somewhat related note, I recently got onto a binge reading about Polynesian people and culture. The story of Polynesian colonization of New Zealand is captivating. It starts with the colonization of a new land with abundant resources.

Autocratic leaders can get pretty irrational in their quest of preserving power down to the point of harming what seems to be their interests in major ways.

Based on my past experiences with the above strategy, both my proverbial face and nose are fine, thank you! Before that though, I have done both - named an amount too high for a job that I really wanted, which I got passed on, and then name

The responses I wrote can (and should) be delivered in a friendly, half-joking, and easy-going manner. I don't believe you should ever get into a defensive and argumentative mode in a job interview. Well, not just job interview, ever,

At a point when they ask me my salary expectations, I would expect to be talking to someone who has the authority to speak about salaries.

But transparency doesn't necessarily mean no wage disparity. You can still have bonuses and raises.

The part of the discussion is not just about pay, it is also about company culture. I really don't want to work at a place willing to haggle and fill the position with the cheapest eligible person.

Yes, that would be preferred, I think. Write a new job title with defined expectations, so that other people in the organization would know and understand why this person is paid more, and what it is that they should strive for if they want

I also feel very strongly about this. Many moons ago I literally got paid half of what a friend of mine got paid for exactly the same position, responsibilities, and output, and yes, I can gauge the output, as it was a position for which

Yes, glad they've decided it's finally out of the "don't use it, it's experimental" phase and gotten off the 0ver.org wall of shame!

I love it how in the screenshot in the description you can see that the shortcuts on the desktop are mostly games. Now you know why the hypothetical user is sticking around using Windows as their daily driver in the first place :)

I use Firefox because it's the better browser in my experience. For me the killer feature is the container thing. I'm not even sure how it's called. So I have different containers with persistent sessions for different purpos

I like your approach. However, I don't think that this: - List<T> is a functor because it "contains" T's. List<int> "contains" ints. Is really correct. I believe a `Container<T>` becomes a fun

Very scary. History gives us many examples showing what self-righteous people with strong convictions and a belief that the end justifies the means can do. It's not pretty.

Is there any indication that 'Maksims Galkins' has changed his name?

Do you have any sources? I'm from the Baltics and I've never ever heard of anything similar going on in any of the three countries.

Can you expand a bit on this? Do you do some kind of an exercise, or just focus on how you're breathing? Do you know why your parents suggested it?

Can anyone share experiences with using Discord as a communications tool in a workplace? We're currently on Google Chat because it comes with the package that we pay for anyway, but it's pretty lame. So from time to time we consid

That's the big misunderstanding here, isn't it? That software must be 'done', 'finished', 'feature complete', etc, in order to have major version number greater than 0. I would (I hope), release versi

This is fine, as long as those projects don't also encourage people to use them in docs and fancy marketing websites. That's just double faced.

What is there to commit to though? There are enough integers to keep bumping the major version every day indefinitely if that's how often your api changes. Also, no one forces you to support 'deprecated' versions, and the rat

Arguably, you'd need to simulate tens of billions of neurons in order to achieve human-level intelligence. So, even if you'd have correctly simulated a single neuron, there's still a lot to cover to achieve human-level AI. An

An interesting effect. It's just that the naming could somehow be better. It feels weird to call a cognitive _distortion_ some collective zeitgeist that apparently correctly identifies a situation when shit has really hit the fan. I me

Well then, if that's the case, Brazil should stroll in on a white horse into some climate summit, raise this question, and see if a solution can be found to preserve Amazon as a carbon sink in a way that is beneficial to Brazilians als
