If you can stomach it, you should absolutely do it. Having one of the tech giants on your resume has definitely been a strong positive in my experience and you can't beat the comp.

That's a fair question, in practical terms I don't think it's doing much. I'm worried we'll end up in a state where only one browser engine is able to access the web, so google will have absolute control over web st

This sounds great and I want to believe it, but it feels like another case of someone saying the sky is falling when it clearly hasn't. What will it take for this advertising bubble to pop? Is it even a bubble?

I recently had to do this (oakland -> vegas) and was able to get a Budget truck a few weeks out. I paid a lot but it worked out at least.

One thing I'm interested in is, regardless of whether more californians are leaving or not, are californians driving up housing prices in the various obvious targets (oregon, idaho, montana, colorado, nevada)? I'm part of the &quo

I've been using Shadow for the past few months as I've been on the road and didn't want to drag my gaming PC with me. Overall it's been a great experience. The biggest downside for my use case is that it's very sens

The expansion module was just more RAM, not a whole new system. I think the 32x is more comparable to the N64DD, which failed and never actually made it to the US.

In addition to what lmm mentioned, giving to patreon usually comes with some sort of perk or special content, and it's also a subscription by default which I imagine isn't the case with a donate button.

I currently use the xz2 compact and am happy with it, but I'm not sure what I'll do when it dies.

This doesn't directly answer your question, but I've shifted all of my board game playing to tabletop simulator and had a lot of success with that. I've been surprised and impressed by the quality and variety of games availab

Huh, I feel the exact opposite- it's like coding with a bunch of extra frustrations like shopping and cleaning, and the possibility of messing up in an irreversible way (burning something, for example).

Thanks, I was wondering about this. If it included walking in local parks I would have been extremely surprised by the numbers. It seems to be more of an industry report, like nearly half of Americans didn't participate in outdoor acti

What does "monitor" mean in this context? Makes me think of either a display or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_(synchronization) .

I have the same experience whenever I read a paper. I wonder if there's anything intrinsic to that or if I only like it because of nostalgia.

If it truly does nothing, why would the mechanic replace it instead of just leaving it off? Genuine question, I know nothing about this. Do the manufacturers at least have some explanation for why it's there other than to make access m

Wow, 1 and 3 are things I've really been wanting but didn't realize hammerspoon could do, thanks! I'm already using hammerspoon for making scrolling work with my trackball mouse and it works great.

This has always confused me. I don't understand why anyone works for Apple (or Amazon for that matter). If you're already selling your soul to big tech why not just go to Facebook or whatever and get paid more?

I'm guessing they're talking about the total taxes for someone living in California, including federal and local as well as state.

Out of curiosity does that take inflation into account? i.e. is it even lower than 48k in 2015 dollars?

That's a little disingenuous, you can't just use a raspberry pi by itself. You need an SD card, keyboard, mouse (probably), display (maybe could use a TV for this if you have one). It seems like it'd be at least $100. That&#x

I see the "new posts" pill if I've scrolled down into the cached content at all, but if I'm just looking at the first post I see the behavior everyone else is describing. It's still pretty annoying.

Isn't that already true now? The problem is that most corporations seem to be picking the first option.

I never considered quitting, but it still feels bad. Putting your code out there for the first time feels vulnerable (sort of similar to publishing your writing or public speaking) and it feels bad to get shit on. When you've been work

My experience with comcast has been extremely variable depending on where I live, and in particular, what other ISP options I have. When I lived somewhere where the only alternative was terrible 5mbit (advertised, actually much less) AT&amp

Aw, I wish this had come out a launch. I haven't ever connected my switch to a TV. I guess I can sell mine and buy one of these. I wonder how they'll handle the motion controls and gestures that you can't do in handheld mode.

False, they hired me. There is a huge element of randomness in google's hiring process. So much of it depends on whether you and your interviewers were having a bad day that day. I suppose being hired there means you're above some

NewPipe is great. I'm honestly kind of surprised that it's allowed on the play store.

Things like this were a constant source of frustration at google. The philosophy there was to streamline the experience for showing ads to the masses rather than provide any features for power users. Feature requests like this were brushed
