I’ve been recently hit with my first chargeback. The first thing I learned, you pay the chargeback fee no matter what. The second thing I learned, you pay a fee if you intend to respond. Basically, from what I understood, a chargeback is a

There is something I can't seem to understand in the relationship between technology and non-tech people / companies. As a tech-savvy person and someone who relocated recently, I rely a lot on tech solutions for daily problems. Wh

I basically no longer use Google search for fact checking, product suggestions, or research. Every time I want to get some information, I just prompt perplexity. When I need to find something, I do the same. I only use Google with queries f

I'm somewhat torn on this one. As an amateur blogger, I would not like LLMs to "steal" my content, display the users the needed pieces they are looking for, while leaving me with zero visitors. The reason I write is to convey

I don’t compare myself to others. Deleting ALL social media helps a lot. I also try to live below my means, as I understand that you can always find what to spend on. So be grateful to have a “normal” comfortable life, and stop there.

The problem with what you say is that you need to be in such environment. Not everyone pays good salaries. Europe is far behind US salaries. In US high salaries are concentrated around SF, which in turn means high cost of living, or subpar

^ this. Even if you don’t live paycheck to paycheck, the life style of owning a place AND living off your investments, is extremely hard to pull off. You most likely need to be single (or couple both in tech), no kids, making FAANG salary,

This looks very interesting. Do you support double entry bookkeeping not avoid errors? Is there support for transactions with more than one currency?

I use CodeCompanion with Gemini. I think it’s on par with all other popular tools: you can chat with it, you can give it control over one file, or over the entire project.

I think it outlines a bigger problem we have in the tech industry: innovation for the sake of innovation. When you have an in-house design team, or development team, you will, inevitably, reach a point where your product is "ready&quot

By the time robots will be able to do personal trainings in, say, boxing; or fix people’s roofs, humanity will long be dead or turned into power source for said robots.

The problem with “AI will replace all jobs” hype, is that it also comes with a flavor of “and we all will do creative work”, while in reality AI replaces all the creative work and people go back to collecting garbage or other physically dem

Had a chance to read the wiki/docs deeper. Quarkdown seems to use puppeteer and chrome-print-to-pdf to generate PDF from HTML [1]. So, aside from the more minimal format or Markdown compared to HTML, I don't see much appeal in qua

The syntax feels complicated. Maybe I just don't have enough patience for learning a typesetting syntax (I never worked with Latex before). On top of that, there is no easy way to create a template. For example, I want an invoice templ

This looks very interesting and more approachable than Typst. As some who uses headless chrome to turn html into pdf (for invoices), I have been looking for something simpler and faster. I tried typst, but it felt messy to me. I wonder if q

Because this “marketing hype” is affecting the way we do our job. Some of us are being laid off due to the hype; some are assigned to babysit the AI; and some are simply looked down on by higher ups who are eagerly waiting for a day to lay

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as an EU registered business, I'm obligated to report all income in my local currency (EUR in my case). This means that if I get paid in non-EUR, I'm obligated to record the transaction as if it w
