I wanted to let you know that you probably did nothing wrong. The people you were working for were probably just like you a few years ago and when they first arrived the guy they worked for was a prick just like they were to you. They knew

It’s based on IPFS. https://ipfs.io I can’t remember the history behind the name but there’s nothing astronomical about it. It’s a content addressable system.

One of the problems is people don’t stick around for their entire career. They know a lot of the work is unfulfilling. They stick around for long enough that their departure doesn’t look like they were fired and try to obscure it in somethi

I just finished the course and what a complete pile of garbage. It seems to reinforce group think more than anything. They ask for a lot of free form responses that are graded by peers and it's obvious that there is a correct and an in

Time to reevaluate what you think about Google and why you think that. Google is an advertising company not an IT company. Yes they use and create a lot of technology but they don’t get paid for any of it. They get paid for advertising. T

I seem to remember that they eventually fixed the problem with slow startup for applets but it was long after people had stopped using them. Let’s not forget that when applets were a thing Java was a proprietary, although liberally licensed
