yeah, most "gamer" culture inspires absurdly wasteful habits, spec porn, etc. so that's probably not in alignment, and the windows tax is no joke either - it's delicious that their mondo data hoovering burns up your own

entire blogs have been written about this, but the easiest way is to never, ever cross someone (to include embarrassing, etc) with power. that includes compromising social/team situations as well. that means that even if the scrum lord

that may be true for small scale or vanilla automated actions, but every probabilistic layer costs the bad team additional engineering time, compute time, and won't be 100 percent reliable. plus, you only need to obfuscate /you&#x

i mean, only one of these options according to you is even listed as private-capable - are you just looking for good hosts? imo email privacy is just not worth optimizing for. you could pay in cash for an account at eg posteo.de, so as to h

fairly strong claims from someone who had no trouble calling someone else's disingenuous. care to share the data so that we can see what you have seen, ostensibly related to blog atrophy over time? should be fairly easy to spot when tw

reminder that managers and engineers promoted, developed, and shipped these changes at all of the companies listed in the article, knowing exactly how this change was going to affect people working in these roles. pathetic.

well, yeah. if you don't have air cover from a team or manager and don't appear to be engaged in shared suffering, it's no surprise people are going to ask questions, both from above and equal level. other labor will resent y

getting a remote job isn't hard in 2021 and it sounds like you're fairly well set where you live. it'd be different if you needed coworkers to eg bootstrap/lean on for your social life after a fresh move. you'll be
