   For me, the article only shows 1 data visualization which is expressly about the Rural vs. Urban divide. I don't think the article did the topic much justice. I wish it had more data analysis, rather than how it quotes specific numbe

   You bring up an interesting argument: is it healthier to live Urbanely vs Rurally? I see many advantages & disadvantages for both. Having grown up in a city, and tried both, I plan to live somewhere in the middle: On the outskirts of a

   I love the simplicity of the Bulma CSS framework. And its pretty easy to find SASS/SCSS versions of it.

   Some would say Math is a language. And I agree-- teach a 2nd language to kids before they reach 12. But I would also want to teach my own children advanced math during that time, if possible. From what I've read in passing, it seems

   I've tried Slack and Discord. Of course, ICQ & MSN Messenger long ago. IRC is #1 in my book. I always come back to it. I like its simplicity and its community. It has been immensely valuable to me, to get guidance and answers t

   A couple years ago I checked those platforms, put my profile up. But got nothing out of it. I get a lot more out of approaching small business owners, or promoting my skills at networking events. I'd say... Visit a restaurant or cafe

   Good to know. Ya know... I posted that without experience in the current market. It was more of a "this is what it was like a year ago" sentiment. Thinking more about it... I can see how 40% is too low an esimtate. Thanks, good t

    Everyone? Nah that's Hyperbole. In my experience about 40% do. I've never had an issue simply showing an open source past project I created, going through my portfolio of other project examples, and my resume.

    Apologies for assuming you were in the US. The idea is basically: Move to the place which has the highest ratio of IT jobs to people. So, that might be your nation's capital city, or perhaps a different city with a history of technolo

    what does "learned to code" mean? what did you learn? what did you code? suggestions: - have a github account - have a portfolio of projects on your website

    - Move to the San Jose area (AKA Silicon Valley). Goods & services are not uniformly distributed-- so you might have to move to the place which specializes in your given industry. e.g. Tourism -> Florida. Fishing -> Alaska. IT

    For an easy, out of the block, self-hosted experience, allow me to recommend: Docusaurus.io framework. Why? It's compatible with MermaidJS-- simply run 1 install command, and setup 2 config settings-- shown here: https://do

    Very nice! I was looking for something like this-- A diagramming tool with plain ol' css. Given the features I think it's a nice step up (flowchart.fun is $3/month) from an Open Source diagram tool like MermaidJS [1]. One su

    I went with the 32GB Ram upgrade ($400)-- mostly because I work with Docker (it seems to eat up about 33% of the RAM). Never heard the fan. Stays cool to the touch, which is quite unexpected and pleasant.

    Personally, for me, the best laptop ever made is: 14 inch M2 Macbook Pro. Combine it with the Anker 737 Power Bank, and it's a match made in heaven.

    I wouldn't do it if I were you. Perhaps you can hire someone with extremely good SecOps skills who is willing to. Off the top of my head though my "idea-marketing" strategy for your case, would be: - Contact narco influencer

    It would be about a $200k house in a low-medium cost of living area. Or, a $150k empty lot and $50k house (with a later $50k-$100k expansion via cash, once the cash is earned)

    I'm so happy I have no debt. Had $20k of student debt at one point. After that experience, I decided to live mostly without debt. The only exception might be a mortgage of 25-33% of a house value, I'd put 75-66% in cash.
