I use HyperX Cloud gaming headset for my work. Several years ago we bought them for our employees at a noisy "open office" environment (full of Mexicans, and you may know that we tend to be pretty noisy haha) and they worked pret

I would love #3 in a remote setting. I have a PhD (CompSci), live in UTC-6 (Mexico) and would be happy to take a pay cut if it meant leaving the tech product production grind. The best job I've had was as a data scientist/ML-ex

One thing that I experienced is that planes before flew at lower altitude, so I believe there was more turbulence overall. Also I remember in the late 80s going right through a storm while in mid flight during a long flight. That hasn&#x27

LocalMonero just shot down. And it was a p2p XMR marketplace. Right now there's no sensible way to trade XMR to FIAT easily without your government knowing. If the US really squeezes those cryptos they will die promptly.

Ooooh so thats what happened. I just recently restarted using my Facebook account after about 6 years of not really using it. I found it odd that I was only scrolling to android games ads, some diy videos and some rage-motivated generic po

I love QMMP ( https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ ). It is compatible with Winamp Skins, supports network playing (shoutcast) and works pretty well in my Linux Mint installations. I may be old fashioned, but man my brain has got s

People tend to mistake what the job of the Supreme Courts is. It is not as some form of vindictive righteousness body. Supreme courts are there to uphold the definite letter of the law. If laws are bad/outdated or otherwise improper, i

Ha! Workday, datadog, salesforce, Odoo, aws... etc All software with huge amounts of functionality suffers from this. And some of them even charge you extra for their "learning programmes".

Blast from the past! I remember doing JNI integration in Java around 2003! It's been so long I don't remember details but you had to declare some interfaces in java, then some middleware .h or .c and then call the native librar

I find it somewhat sad. I've seen a bunch of former colleagues posting more and more of that bullshit as time passes by and they don't get a job. Knowing them, you can see they are desperate, and that's why they follow the s

Haha this made me chuckle. I'm a Mexican and couldn't agree more. It's one of those things you have to experience ONCE and that's all. The cool thing is that if you pay them, you sometimes may be able to ask for a son

Americans retirement plan should be to learn Spanish and save some money to live in Latin America. There are pretty good places where the QOL is good to retire. Around 20 years ago I lived in La Paz BCS Mexico (small city near Los cabos).

Same for me. A very specific non technical example was when I was searching about Natto , the Japanese fermented soybean food. About how to make and tips on how to better prepare it. A search in Google yields pure SEO garbage. Adding site:r
