On the other hand I wonder what effect easily accessible credit cards have on overall sales for products like this. On a personal level it would be a stretch for me to spend $2200 when I could get a used airdyne and an ipad for less than ha

Meetings often destroy my productivity for the day. I’ll be in the flow all morning, but once I have an hour long standup meeting (or similar scattered topic based meeting) I struggle to regain focus for the rest of the day.

Kinda reminds me of psdoom, I think because of the gamified self-destructive element. Psdoom is doom, except the bad guys are mapped to processes IDs and shooting them sends renice and eventually kill signals. http://psdoom.sourc

I’ve been having a good experience with safari + ublock origin. Firefox tends to consume a lot of system resources on my pretty modest machine.

My only use for chrome is to interact with the google web apps that don’t work well in firefox or safari. Otherwise it wouldn’t be installed. IMO Google softly requires you to use chrome because their tools, in my experience, are unstable

Also a lot of music is loop/clip based (one or more bars of music is a sample by itself) which can be repetitive and exactly in time every time. My favorite artists find ways to add a lot of variation, even to simple song structures.

Yeah knowing the audience is key. But an eye catching resume can also be very valuable. In this field a design with something like familiar grey/white fixed-width type on a matte black background, ascii table outlines, and “syntax” hig

Yeah, although imagine if carpenters were interviewed/judged based on the quality by which they could create hammers and drills from scratch. But it was a good thing overall. I showed me signs that the company has an elevated degree o

I remember a job interview where the take home project was to parse a log file and search/sort by various top attributes as fast as possible. I thought about writing something from scratch, but I knew that whatever I could optimize in

Online radio and mixes. NTS and “the lot radio” are in my heavy rotation right now. Both stations have live DJs usually in 1-2 hour sets, and play a wide variety of music depending on the DJ.

Bookmarked this. Found that it displayed several stories I had not seen, at a glance. Will try adding it to my phone scroll-hole rotation.

Came here to say this. Deleting my fb account has been a positive experience. Real friends stay in touch, and the stressful negative/argumentative comment threads and posts are gone. Admittedly I still use instagram. Their model works

I respectfully disagree. I think good work and humility speak for themselves.

This comes off as desperate. The sad truth is hardly anyone truly cares what you are doing at work. Really, think about how much you truly care what your peers do day-to-day. Your boss and co-workers care about: a) results b) not having to

I’ve been happy with my Ikea Markus. It was maybe $150 in the as-is section. I’ve sat in Herman Miller Aerons at work for many years, and sitting on this all day while working remote has been great. No issues. I’ve had it 4 years now and

Why is leadership important here? I’d say just contribute and try to get stuff done. Especially if you've only been there a few weeks. Focus on working with the people more than working with the tech.
