Here's my experience trying to find a job on Toptal from Poland: they are good if you're OK with earning peanuts - then the rate charged to the client is reasonable. I suspect that they tried to double my rate. Can't tell any

It's OK, notifications collapsing is somewhat wonky for some people and some of my friends complain about the app's performance vs something like Facebook but given the security model it will never be as fast. disclaimer: I work f

Being in Poland, it's hard for me to even consider working for GitLab if the salary for a backend engineer tops out at 25k PLN / month pre-taxes, pre-social (that's $80k/yr for a true expert). Berlin companies are willin

I know some trans people (both f2m and m2f) and they really don't have any issues, so yes, it's liveable. You probably won't find large LGBTQ communities like in major US cities though. Of course if you ask a local if they kn

Look for openings on various sites, apply on sites like Upwork. Initially it'll take a lot of effort to get a gig, eventually you should be able to just use your network to find projects.

Avoid working for local companies in Poland unless you like low pay. Just find yourself a nice remote gig (there's plenty of them if you know how to find them) and live like the top .001% of the country or whatever. There's a good

I might be still using Sierra after hearing about all the issues with High Sierra. I don't want to spend a few days configuring my Hackintosh again!

That's actually very fair, I recall that before 2014 I used their old UI and it was not that terrible (other than feeling outdated even then, but outdated is better than nearly unusable). I found that using OpenStack's CLI utiliti

The UI is good enough to set up the storage once and then not ever touch it again. I also enjoy when it randomly switches to French.

You mean the library that you've been using from the beginning of the proper web client? This is not an answer. Kudos for finally doing ECC though.

They're improving performance and UI though, the new features only go to EE* versions. The new features are only a reason for them to get new Enterprise subscribers.

Some oligarch must've invested into cryptocurrencies, otherwise they wouldn't give a crap about it.

In some countries you won't get a credit card if your employment has gaps etc. - and debit cards serve the exact same purpose as credit cards, just with different billing model.

Everything they do is late, they got first to the market and stalled since then, the only improvement over the last years was that the UI transformed from being utter shit to a "passable" one.

64 cores on 2P EPYC 7601/7551/7501. Intel has its 4P platform, which in theory almost doubles the ceiling (4 * 28 cores in the top tier Xeon Platinum aka new E7). If you really need that many cores, you should either use specializ

The "EK Prototype SP3" cooler was probably a prototype of a water block designed for the X399 platform. The chip is massive, so the existing solutions probably don't fit it.

Same here, also you can't really map NTFS to Linux filesystems (perms + max path length, have fun using Go with vendor / NodeJS), so you run into stupid issues where the only solution is to boot up a VM anyways - and then, most of
