People were leaving right after bonuses years ago. Think about it. First, it's a huge company, so there are going to be a decent number of people who want to leave at any given time. And unless you're utterly miserable, it's

I found something that didn't feel like work, turned it into my career, and then realized that when there are real business outcomes riding on it, suddenly it feels like work. To the point that I now don't even like doing it as a

Yeah, as a pure anecdote, I got the vaccine and am just now getting over a brutal case of the flu. My doctor said he's been seeing tons of people in the same boat this year. Bummer.

I'm a pretty expert Photoshop user, and I see it as similar to the command-line. It's not intuitive to a brand new user, but once you get it, it's incredibly efficient and productive. I think this is appropriate for a profess

Agreed, I just did it yesterday and all I had to do was put my phone up and let it read my thumb.

At least in the early days of Google+, the internal instance was really great. I don't work there anymore so I don't know if it is any more. But people would post about stuff they're working on, questions they have, frustrati

Not to derail too much, but I have worked with MarkMonitor, and their price is FAR less than $1k/yr per domain. Much closer to the $20 end, though I'm sure it depends on the specific deal, and I'd guess they probably have som

In my recent experience, private registration prevents transfers because you are unable to receive the email message that contains the code you need to complete the transfer. I am still able to transfer my domains, but I need to turn off pr

I always have a hard time understanding why price is such a motivator for people in domain registration, when we're talking about differences of a few dollars a year, and when a bad registrar can screw you over royally. I mean, sure, i

My version of "inbox zero" is archiving everything, not deleting everything. Out of sight, out of mind, but it's still there in search if I need it.

My thinking exactly. I can't count the number of times I've benefited from having an old email I'd surely have thought I could delete. Things like: * What day did I buy product X, to see if it's still under warranty? * W

I feel the same way. I have lived in a tech hub city and worked on-site for major tech companies. I now live in a non-tech hub, with very few technology jobs to choose from, but I live here for personal quality of life reasons. Since I&#x27

I'm not shocked. Slack felt to me like one of the least native, and most "just a browser without all the chrome" of any app I've installed in a really long time. It immediately turned me off. I don't think this kind

Maybe it's just a better DAC overall? Even at the same bitrate, I think a better DAC can make a difference.

In both of those cases I either do my best to remember their info, or just do without. Not ideal for sure, but it's fairly rare in my experience.

If I want to stay in touch with the person, I keep it until I get home, connect with them on LinkedIn, and then throw it out. I only need it long enough to remember their name and company, but it's a real help for that.

Before I gave up on Craigslist completely, I had multiple experiences where I offered something nice for free, people quickly replied to claim it, and either never showed up to pick it up, or made it a complete pain in the ass (e.g. the peo

I hate it when individual articles are broken into pages for no good reason, but I like pagination for main/index pages. The biggest problem I've had with this kind of scrolling is when something happens that makes the next "

Mondrian is the best code review tool I've ever used, but I'll admit that could be damning with faint praise... I'm very curious to hear what the better options are, because we use Github at my current company and I would go

That means they are a partner to the business, not a partner to you. This is a common (not Amazon-invented) term.

Right, but you can also get much smaller MySQL instances. It's not necessarily an "ouch" given the capacity, but it is in combination with the fact that there are no smaller instance types.

Definitely. But one of the nice things about a lot of the AWS stuff is that you can build on the same infrastructure you'd use if you wanted to scale up. So if you have a toy project that ends up being more successful than you expect,

Has anyone been able to find specific pricing on this? All of the language I've seen about it has been vague. One of the things that's kept me from using RDS for toy projects is that it basically amounts to running another instanc

I have to say, as someone twice your age, I'm humbled by how many projects you've put out there. Sure, a lot of them are small and simple, but there's something to be said for just doing stuff. I spend too much time agonizi

Just quickly doing the math in my head, it seems like the Mini costs roughly the same as a real Mac Mini. So, what's the advantage of going the DIY route? I presume the price gap grows on the higher end systems?

I think you greatly overestimate the degree to which non-technical people understand domain names and TLDs. There are a lot of people who think "www." goes on the front of their email address.

It doesn't say he parked there because he thought it was legal due to the signs. It says he parked there because he "forgot his car." The incorrect signage was a technicality that allowed him to get out of paying the ticket.
