It’s also a country where the people are indoctrinated to believe their great leader is born under a double rainbow and descended straight from heaven, didn’t defecate ever, learnt to walk aged 3 weeks (yup) and to speak 5 weeks later at 8

Regarding c), I personally never get anything but business laptops. The consumer ones are just too crappy, plastic everywhere, won’t last more than 3–4 years, underspecced hinges, and plastic clips. The business ones are the same price or c

A cursory search shows that various testing websites have measured battery life to be 7–8h on the framework which is decent I’d think? I have no firsthand experience but 3h in comparison seems low. Also, web browsing can be intensive if you

This is also a problem on the customer side. I don’t shy away from leaving bad reviews to businesses that deserve it. These businesses either reply with a passive aggressive doxx like “Hi Or Nornor” when I don’t use my real name anywhere on

In my opinion, it’s more about the local culture. People in different countries/continents work differently, have different expectations around how much initiative non-managers should take, etc. I’m not saying one is worse than the oth

I once worked some place where my manager loved to tell this allegedly true story (happened before my tour) as a hilarious joke to onboard new devs on how to fill the timesheet: There was this IC who was working on cross departmental stuff.

In my experience, the number of hours the company suggests is always BS. It takes 2–3x as much time to experiment and then polish your solution. It might take the states amount of time if you’re the person who came up with the problem and k

I was thinking along these lines as well but after reading the explanation at the end of the game, I’m not so sure. The rule is no vehicles in the park. I’ve also concluded that an ambulance or police responding to a call didn’t violate the

Okay yeah sure, technically. In practice, you have little to no control over it or your audience and good luck migrating it when you feel like it or when the platform turns hostile.

People are willing to pay Reddit, just not the exorbitant rates they’re asking especially when they didn’t lift a finger to empower the people working for Reddit for free.
