Caramel Brulée Latte, Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frap... Damn, that sounds nasty. I'm sure they are calorie bombs as well. Can I recommend a nice cup of coffee-flavored black coffee?

I even used that on a piece of software last year to extend the trial period. It was good software, so I brought it afterward. But I was surprised that the old trick still worked.

We use unrestricted Mac's at my company, heck many use their own laptop. But we have very restrict access rules for sensitive information. The majority does not have access to company or user sensitive information. We are trying to str

Not a direct answer but more career advice. Can you combine your degree with programming? It seems like a waste to throw out a good degree. Start programming as a hobby before throwing your hat over the wall? There are few jobs in low-level

I don't know the American market, but they are screaming for qualified developers in Europe and Asia where I work. I have been around long enough to know that if you are a good developer there will always be work for you. Especially if

It's possible, but you are limited in the roles you can take. Some companies don't want or are allowed to have their data in China. This is true for both US and European companies, I don't know about Australia. There are lots

You can run Linux on iOS, so I guess it's possible, but the performance would suck I think. Of course, you would need a dynamic DNS as your IP would change all the time. If you connect to local WIFI, that might be blocking your server.

What kind of "better"? If it's for my mom then Word any day of the week. If it's for a math student, LaTex any day of the week.

Ha ha.. I don't have it anymore, but I also went through ML for the Working Programmer. At my university, some web apps were written in ML, but then our principal was Mads Tofte - He is a good guy, learned a lot from him.

I'm a generalist that also knows business and UX. It does cut me off from some jobs, and I am fine with that, I would probably get bored by those jobs anyway. Follow your interests where they may take you. The IT industry is vast and n

So many devs are just aiming for that FAANG job, no thanks. There is a whole world of awesome and interesting companies that are not FAANG.

If you don't feel you can program anymore, then you can move into management, UX, or analytics. That's what I plan to do, I'm not 50 yet but I am starting to feel tired of programming, or at least the kind of programming I do

I don't know of any other industry, where (I assume everyone here is connected to IT) IT people have such a hard time paying other IT people. Slack has to pay salary, servers, networks, devops, health insurance, rent, etc etc. And peop

It's $6.67 per user. Just get a paid account. But no... people will spend hours or days switching to an alternative, and then they have to maintain it which will be even more time. I guess it ends up with: what is your time worth?

It's true and possible. I worked in e-commerce before and you could argue, that I was optimizing our conversion rate, so more people would buy more shit they don't need. They should spend their money on their kids instead. That is

Raise chickens, grow your food, as you get tired of chickens, you can start selling them. The only way you have to live off $500, is if you are not doing anything.

I think this is absolutely true. If discussions on Twitter were like this one here on HN, then I'm all for it. But.. well Twitter can be very toxic.
