Any suggestions? The app must have seamless SMS support.

The point is that I can use one app for all messaging, and if the other party has opted in, it's encrypted. Generally, I don't care whether or not any particular message is encrypted, but I want the world's communication to b

Here's a pithy little saying for you on the topic: "Worry is interest paid in advance on a debt you may never owe."

I'm not sure how much money they made, but off the top of my head, Factorio, Stardew Valley, and Terraria were all indie dev games that became hugely popular. And I suspect that most indie titles with any popularity make money for thei

Perhaps when you factor in development/engineering time. The machine is only a part of the cost of an automation project.

I'm not a networking guy. Do you think that approach would work for a device behind CG-NAT? (i.e. route the IPv6 address over the WAN, rather than port forwarding; which I can't do because of the CG-NAT)

What I was trying to imply is that privacy should be for everyone, not just those who are technically capable enough to install an alternative OS on their phone.

How accessible is that to your grandmother? Can you walk her through the process? (Are you willing to, given that now you'll be called if anything goes wrong?)

Genuine question that's likely to sound flippant: Does beer count as a "fermented food" in this context? What about wine?

If you want maximum value, turn the pump off (typically a switch depressed by the tip of the pump when its in the hanger) and squeeze the handle all the way. This releases the pressure in the line and gives you those last few drops of gasol

Yes, I'm happy with it from a "balance of power" perspective. I would like a different outcome, regarding vaccine mandates, but that responsibility lies with congress, and unfortunately one of our political parties is anti-sc

It would be up to the judicial branch to make those determinations. So far, they are broadly OK with the delegation that has happened.

Congress has delegated the authority to make these decisions to regulatory agencies. If congress wants that authority back, they can get it back via legislation. The responsibility for the current situation starts and stops with congress. T

We didn't really start calling it "The War on Terror" until after 9/11/2001. That's my guess as to where that comment is coming from.

I wonder if you're also now getting High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) instead of cane sugar. Here in the states, it's well-known that "Mexican Coke" (made with actual sugar) tastes better than regular coke. (made with HFCS

I don't disagree with you, but I don't think the responsibility lies primarily with the engineer. Especially in large orgs, you have armies of people whose job is ostensibly to understand the needs of the people their team serves,

You're right. I did my math wrong. I was going for 20 minutes/mile and I have no idea how I arrived at 80. I think maybe I used 100 minutes/hour. Hah. I suppose it would be two hours.

> "Design is about constraints". Indeed. I think most engineers would LOVE to have the kinds of constraints on their software that NASA has. The reason our code trends toward big balls of mud is that the requirements are ill-de

At that point, just walk. At a comfortable pace, you'd be there in 80 minutes, and you'd have your exercise for the day.

Is there an easy way to determine which companies are which? Do I need to be well-studied in business, or is there a chart or key statistic I can look at to tell one from the other?

Yes, but the set of people who are available to work remotely is much bigger than the set of people willing to relocate.

It's not that nobody cares; they're just less important. Obvious example is analytics. It helps Netflix deliver a better experience to their users, (video watchers and product placement advertisers -- whoever) but it isn't mi
