This is actually how programming started in the first place, and still is. It's only because of highly publicized Valley-style successes, mysticism ("these twenty-somethings wrote an app and got rich? Surely they are geniuses!&quo

I'd like to live in the same world you describe. I work 9-5 and of course, I'd rather be doing whatever I please instead of going to work. But longing for the destruction of these jobs without a realistic alternative (e.g. basic i

Do you know if the affected people that can't or won't move will be getting severance pay? Where I live, such a change in working conditions would be enough for an employee to consider himself fired, which would make him eligible

For anyone thinking of doing this, you actually have to manually unfollow everyone. There is no Facebook API method to unfollow friends or pages. I ended up deleting my account anyway.

It is possible to permanently delete a Facebook account. It's not known whether this truly deletes it, but it's a more permanent measure than deactivation: https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref

This has eloquently described one of the reasons why I and many close friends have quit Facebook, well done. I did expect to see Mr Robot mentioned there, which mentions similar issues as well (although not as elegantly as Black Mirror, per

Find a company that works with open source projects, and contribute to them on your own time. Bonus points if you actually use them for your own projects so you are able to provide real-world use cases and feedback to them. This especially

I think the "learn to code" movement as well as overly-technical interviews for developers are partly to blame for this. It's well-known that developers are tested on how to do something that's considered technically dif

I have a regular Yubikey 4 - it looks like flimsy plastic but it's surprisingly strong. I can't snap it in half even with full force, doesn't even seem to bend.

I believe you can use Loopback [1] for this (paid). If not, JACK [2] would certainly work but it's a bit of a hassle to get everything set up. [1] https://www.rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ [2] http://www.ja

The truth is that the vast majority of people will not be affected by this law passing, despite it having serious ethical issues. We live in a post-Snowden world and nothing has changed much for common people. This combined with the justif
