I had this idea probably 5 years ago now and I am sure others had it before that. Everyone talked me out of it because paper is going away. But that just compounds the pain once you actually need it. There are issues with regards to securit

The time in itself is not bad. It could have been 10 hours of important reading for your study or whatever. So do not get hung up on numbers, that will only lead to negative double-bashing of yourself. I observed myself trying to avoid usin

You are correct. I had a good poke around and ended up subscribing. Can you recommend any specific parts of it?

I have had the account for long, but deleted the app. But I actually just re-installed - so I will give them a look. Thanks for those recommendations as well!

Wow! That is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks a lot for that recommendation!

Thanks a lot for those. I especially like the last one.

That looked too interesting to pass. I signed up immediately for the print magazine delivered to my door, every quarter. Thanks a lot for mentioning that. I really look forward to seeing it in person!

Yes, even though I am a very active reader, I felt that I almost had a month worth of reading every week.

On the topic of The Economist. I have been a subscriber twice, but each time cancelled because I was endlessly behind on the huge number of quality articles. I am however yet again considering subscription. But are there any other good phys

No absolutely not. As others have mentioned, there are also potential scenarios where this crisis ends up having positive impact on the freelance market. Short term contracts can be attractive for companies in turbulent times with unclear f

Please do remember that a 10 year average today, is 10 years from the financial crisis. That is not a very objective measure of future success.

Getting enough good quality sleep. No amount of stimulants, productivity systems or external motivation can overcome a tired mind and body. You will be trying to ice skate uphill.

I switched to primarily Ubuntu 3-4 months ago. I still have a Windows partition for some older .Net projects I have and a 2014 Macbook Pro for submitting builds to the App Store. But apart from that, most of my daily use and development in

I do not know the validity of the source, but can anyone else confirm or reject the claim of the rising demand for blockchain developers. I looked a lot into the technology a year or two ago, but never really got around to applying the know

- "You can't lead a team further than you have been yourself" I respectfully disagree. A good leader hires, nurtures and grows individuals that are better than himself. The goal of course always is to have the team be more th

I have actually also switched more or less to only using Ubuntu, but have been using VS Code. It has become quite powerful in my book and I like that it is the same environment I use across React Native and C#. But I may have to have a litt

I blew through 20-30k over 3-4 years of working on my own startup. It did not make any money so I had to start freelancing. Since I have started another company but this time I won't quit until it has proper traction. You do not want p

Thanks a lot for the long list. I am in the midst of considering switch of hosting provider, so it is nice to know some of the options.

No he did not. But it also pulled his picture, so he must have somehow set up iCloud to broadcast those informations I would guess?

Yes, please! Stop that ridiculous surveillance. I am appalled at our minister of justice in Denmark that seems to see every week in power as a possibility to wreck havoc on our privacy.

I agree and we cannot do anything about the hours apart from perhaps trying to find some part-time job, but that is probably not easy either. So my point was just to not bet full-on on two horses at one. If your priority really is your side

I would say that this also depends a lot on how draining and intense your day job is. Some jobs require too much of you to be able to do anything once you are done - or do so in periods. You will probably have to decide what is most importa

Thanks a lot for the long through reply. It sounds like I might want to give VMware Fusion a go if I want to play around with Linux on my MBP again.

by q-base 7y ago
What year MBP is this? I tried running Ubuntu on Virtual Box on my mid 2014 MBP with 16GB ram, but that was anything but smooth. I ended up dual booting my T460s instead. But perhaps the answer is VMware Fusion instead then.
