I still use it through an old terminal based unix email system . Works relatively well (of course opening attachments is tricky), although I feel like whats app/sms has significantly cut down my email use. I do miss Tin and the untamed

There are time limits on how long certain benefits can be taken advantage of (and work requirements in certain cases). Housing assistance has long wait lists and federal health care assistance (medicaid/medicare) has a ton of age/

You are right, it is a bit of cat and mouse game, but I have been quite successful at using a Nordvpn's French and Brazilian pops (for at least the past 6 months). You have to also modify your client DNS settings to either use European

I sense a resurrection of torrenting and ironically enough, DVD rentals. BTW, Netflix still has a very rich library of streaming content, but in other world regions. A good global VPN service and some DNS tweaks will unlock a ton of streami

I agree. But despite the bizarre fact is that there is a real market for these kind of "Gurus" to fill, but unless someone is forced to join or kept in the cult by force then what's the problem? he chooses to lead and followe

interesting. That is close to the salary I was starting with more than 10yrs ago...Either the wages have stagnated around Boston or that number seems low. Glassdoor reports ~$80k which is closer to what my current employer has been hiring a

I wish that was the case, but it is not. You can verify this yourself as H1B salary data are publicly available http://h1bdata.info . Take a look for example at Wayfair in Boston. Majority of their H1B Developers make around $50k

Exactly. This reminds me of the 1990's AOL's walled garden model that ultimately lost to the open Web. I wonder though, if we really descent into a multi-tier internet and if a version of a "legacy" internet survives in

I use one browser with a geographically based proxy and another one straight trough. Also, commercial VPNs are cheap and pretty reliable these days (the vendor I use has pops in majority of countries). Just a silly game to play with the co

Well, I suppose Mcdonald's doesn't make you sign a contract before you buy their food, although I wouldn't be surprised if soon there will be TOS printed on the receipts that make it illegal. But yes, that would mean that pee

software dev is too outsourcable for unionization to make sense. Also, real engineering professions are protected by licensure requirements and furthermore, their labor by nature of the discipline cannot be shipped out. Software is too glob

great starter book! Any plans of expanding it to a more advanced level? I would like to see elaboration on the async/await patterns and more on http verb support techniques and routing. I like your holistic but bare bones approach and

Since the article doesn't specify what types of professions were studied, thus I am skeptical of its conclusion. While this ~3hr/day productivity might be true for typical corporate/office workers, but they make up only a sma
