This won't help you, to other freelancers in the same situation, there is this amazing video by Mike Monteiro, titled F*ck You, Pay Me [1] He has an example where the same thing happened, an entire department got laid off. [1] https:&

I wondered the same as well. My idea was to change this and build one that worked.... A few thoughts: All LMSes need to be seen as a result from their surroundings. Education is a very bureaucratic sector with lots of money, just not in the

Hear hear. Thank you for your write up. Just wishing YC was more discriminatory in who they allow into the program. This shouldn't have passed the smell test.

To others here, please avoid this app, there are too many red flags about it. The testimonials on the site [1] are superficial. I only saw short term ones. Most people with ADHD have a track record of starting new things, being extremely en

Hey, Maybe nix is not for you. I'm not well versed with nix packages and only use the basics. Your answer on how to pin this package hasn't been answered good enough for you because it takes work to pin packages and it isn't

Nix is not easy nor simple. It's complicated but not complex. re: ruby version In ubuntu I can only install ruby2.7 and I don't which minor version. [1] I would need to use rvm anyway. It's the same with nix. What is possible

Reading your linked post, it seems you are wrestling with how Nix works. Nix is hard to learn. The concepts used are almost the same, but different. That's because it's solving slightly different problems than package managers cur

Last week I had a problem with our CI/CD pipeline because an old package that's a sub dependency wouldn't install anymore. [1] See that `rev` line in the sources.json? The whole build system is pinned by on git commit. If it

Hey Congrats on launching this. I really hope it'll grow. Here are my 2 cts. I've used dokku for this, running Django, for years and recently I moved a customer over to use the digital ocean app platform. There are a couple of thi

I've been following the situation around Peter for a few years now. Here's a documentary that touches on the panel with James Damoore that he mentions. He was also a member of the Grievance Studies Affair[1]. They got a chapter fr

I've been using borg now for a couple of years. It has been great. I previously used duplicity. It would do a full backup once every week or month, resulting in GBs of data being send over the line. Borg chunks the data and uses dedupl

What do you mean by that? Firefox and Chrome both have gpu hardware acceleration, and different threads/processes for UI and webpages.

I'm wondering about 5, thunderbolt. I now use a lenovo X1 thinkpad and use an external GPU to drive 2 4K monitors. The internal Intel UHD 620 just can't handle. Is the intel Xe graphics enough to handle this? If so, thunderbolt wo

For gzip, try pigz. It's the parallel version of it. I used to want high single core performance for my python code. I've since switched to using VSCode with devcontainers which run remotely on my 5950x. That makes it fast enough

Hey, great that you were able to finish it. Congrats. I found the power checklists bring a couple years ago. I've primarily used process street for it. Works greats for me.

Hey, that sounds rough, very rough. It's not his fault. It's not your fault either. Speaking from experience myself, it's not that he purposely wants to speak its just that he can't not talk. Like people in a wheelchair

The answer is yes. It seems the author is reasoning more in the philosophic realm than in evolutionary biology. In this podcast [1] an evolutionary biologist goes into depth about telomeres, evolution and how cancer and longevity are two si

I see that computing power is in high demand for quite some time to come. I do believe there will be stagnation unless a different way is found. In the same way Henry Ford said people wanted a faster horse not a car. And regarding travel, I

- Give Pop!_OS a try. It's main selling point is that it just works with modern hardware. Aside, don't expect switching OS-es to be a walk in the park. Most things will work as good as on windows. You'll probably have to do s

I evaluated GraphQL for a Django back end project this week. We currently use Django Rest Framework. I also explored the current REST landscape and OData came up. I understand why OData isn't seen more. For example compare graphql.org

It's indeed because the language is empty and it should raise flags. The posed question isn't answered. The article mentions that a higher percentage of women are lesbians. It implies that sexual fluidity is the opposite of hetero

Reminds me of an F1 story. A car was able to finish the race but stopped before reaching the pit lane. The team communicated it as being a fuel pick up problem. The underlying cause was that there was no fuel left to be picked up.

The origin does matter. If it evolved in a lab, it is highly likely that the virus is better at infecting people in lab conditions, for example that would mean inside. Which, coincidentally is exactly what we're seeing. People with mas

I recommend looking at buildbot[1]. It can be tailored towards your needs. I developed and maintain one for scummvm [2]. It has a steep learning curve, as with any sufficiently advanced system. [1] https://buildbot.net/ [2]
