What types of dopamine-modulating drugs are we talking about, if it's ok to ask?

EU doesn't require a €30 annual fee for a camera drone, though. Your country might. Mine surely doesn't.

It is usually illegal to give legal advice or represent someone without being a lawyer, so this disclaimer is meant to protect yourself against claims that you're doing so. I think.

This was happening to me on an M1 until I realised it wasn't a Universal Binary and reinstalled the correct version.

You can use a bank like Wise which lets you have accounts in many currencies for such bank transfers. Fees between their accounts are quite competitive (I used them many times in the past).

Spotify stopped improving about 8 years ago, and has only been enshittifying since. This allows for even more of that. I miss having a decent music app.

This book would certainly make a good script, surprised it's not getting that many mentions

Last time I checked the logs after an update, what I understood had happened was that the installer was installing the new files one by one, and logging each one of them. Which is a lot of files. I've no idea if this is still done this

Any career path that requires strong cognitive skills is susceptible of being damaged due to brain fog, not just mathematics. Will there be fewer people doing all of them?

In many non-US keyboard layouts typing the ";" requires holding shift as well, so not sure how bad this issue is in actuality.

AS/400 follows a similar idea if I recall correctly, on top of DB2

My experience is that EU banks issue new numbers when the credit card expires, UK banks don't.

It works though, because the bank can still receive the transaction and reroute it appropriately. It's pretty common in the EU, especially with things like road tolls that don't check the card validity in real time.

Personal reasons. I'd be weary if they require me to explain more.

But in the mainframe world, "storage" refers to RAM, not actual storage

It's worth pointing out that not doing so probably won't expose you to world-changing opportunities either.

It's compatible with all devices which support a JVM, which these days outnumber the ones supporting Maclisp.

That experience in the financial sector in London would get you around 500-800 pounds a day (roughly USD 750-1200/day) if you go contracting.

Are you hiring for the London office as well?

That "everything else" includes eating, commuting, grocery shopping, and all the other non-fun stuff we must get done. And that's considering 6h/day of sleep, which is insufficient for most people.

Salaries are the minimum figure that allows companies to hire the talent they need. If they go too low, people just start looking at other options (i.e. starting up, freelancing...). If you're easy to replace, someone will do the same for l

That sense of exhaustion eventually goes away after a few months working full-time. That said, even now I feel the amount of interesting stuff I can do on a week day after work is pretty limited -- not just because of time, but because of b

When I try to work on my side projects in the evening, I often feel the same distraction / anxiety effect. The way I handle it is to tell myself it's ok to get some rest and do things that are not productive, and try to keep away from the c
