I work hard and plough my own field. I don't concern myself with other people's fields. It took a few years of thinking for me to arrive at this conclusion :-) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eccl

I have lost about 30lbs over the last 4 months. I walk two miles each day. This has been key. Get your head around calories. For example, I had six slices of dominoes pizza last night, thin crust, which comes in at about 800 calories. You c

I don't know but I'm glad you shared as I like quiet (and wd disks). Sounds like something is moving mixed with case vibration. I can only guess it is the arm which moves across the platters. Are you using zfs, mdm? Maybr the raid

I would encourage you to find a different philosphy for life. My undertandings are built upon my religous beliefs. I won't share my religous views as I am not trying to convert you :-) What I will say is that my view of wealth is well

I've had two jobs in IT, 13 years and 10 years. The last job was a good one. I left it because I didn't want to do the type of work I was doing anymore. I have a family and had 6 months salary saved in the bank. 1 1/2 years o

I left a good job as an infrastructure team lead. I have kind of stumbled into training/teaching adults. I don't think I could go back to looking after a busy infrastructure. Thinking back I'm not so sure that it was the work

It is hard to master living in the moment. It sounds like you are exasperating yourself. As in beating yourself up unnecessarily. Enjoy today more and double/triple/quadruple your expectation of when you will get non-work stuff do

The lesson that saas is about sales and marketing is a tough one. People buy all sorts of stuff, good and bad. I would guess your issue may be about marketing and not features.

Good read, paints a clear picture in the mind. I think my moment of awakening was in 1995 when I watched someone send an email from Liverpool to their son working in Africa. Just couldn't get my head around it.

One day I went from my office to my comms room to fart and didn't notice the nice young lady follow behind me seeking technical support. I can still remember her smiley face turn to shock as she breathed in the foul air. That day I wen

Maybe drop the term criticism? While I understand it's meaning I don't think anyone ever said, "please criticise me". That being said how teachable your colleague is an unknown. So you may need to manage the situation ra

The ham radio folk, of which I am one, are probably down there with scanners now and could tell you the problem ;-) Before I was a licensed ham I put together a little AM transmitter with a 9v battery connected to a portable cd player. I wa

I think if you are a good worker you will end up managing other people. Whether that be devs, engineers or researchers. Managing other people is hard work. I think of it as a privilege. After 25 years in IT I am now more interested in peopl

I sold my $1000 in bitcoin as it was proving a distraction. I was constantly checking it's value. I also came to the conclusion I don't believe in bitcoin. I was just hoping to make money which doesn't resonate with my values

I think your question frames a negative in a positive light, "committing 100%". A better question could be, "should I give up my income with no knowledge that anyone will be interested in my product?" Most likely case (i
