I love your documentation. Small thing: Your "Built with" links at the bottom are broken.

I'm a fullstack dev, and I routinely fill up the 16GB in my laptop. I generally have two full IDEs, SSMS, Illustrator, Outlook, OneNote, Excel, Visio, a bunch of browser tabs, and now Teams or Zoom. I tend to be more constrained by cor

I loved it in July as well. I describe it as otherworldly. Just bring a lot of water. I'm from Phoenix though, and I'm well used to heat.

I did my part by holding on to the money. We took a vacation a few weeks ago and spent it that way. I think we're in the vast minority though. The stimulus really should have been held so the money could go to businesses as they reopen

It was a Lifeform chair with some upgrades. It was over the top for sure. I've been happy with the X-Chair I bought for under a grand. The Leap chair came up a lot when I was doing research. People love them. I didn't find one loc

I worked from home for 10 years without asking for a thing. Last year, I asked for a $3,000 office chair. They asked for a few weeks to think about it. I still haven't received a thing. I personally don't feel like I need my compa

I loved WSJ online, but I had to temporarily cancel while cutting down on spending a while back. Their cancellation process left a bad taste in my mouth, and I decided to not restart my subscription when I was ready.

Aren't they just a middleman for AWS anyway?

How do you like using Node for CLI? I started playing around with it a couple years ago, and at this point, I don't even consider BASH scripts if they involve the slightest bit of logic. Part of me feels like by going all-in, I'm

Also note that a Java Applet is included in there, which has likely not worked since 2015.

I don't think a generic version would have ever caught my attention at all. I'd think Instagram's jumped the shark if they branded it with that. Like, that would just sound like a photo frame that only shows IG posts or somet

At my company, this was not true until a new CTO stepped in. That was nice because it instantly increased my salary by about 20% with no change in work.

Can they really go much lower? Interest rates won't ever dip below inflation will they? If they do, wouldn't this be detrimental to the future of our economy? My guess is that after the election's over, interest rates will st

You might want to recheck your math. It should be ~$800k total with current rates. If you're including taxes, insurance, HOA fees, utilities, maintenance, etc, you'll easily be over a million, but I can't see any calculation

Personally, I suspect that when a crash happens, it will come with higher interest rates. A 2% increase will result in an 18% higher mortgage payment, which could actually be higher than the dip in home values. That's why I'm buyi

I was given the information to help base my decision on which offer to accept. The idea is that the better qualified buyer has a better chance of actually closing. I thought it was a little strange as well. Each of my offers came with detai

This was in Colorado. The market's hot, and I think that's in part because people are afraid that Colorado is going full California on real estate. They want to get a piece while they still can.

It seems like this time around, everyone's on edge about a coming crash, and they've already cashed out a good amount, with intent to buy back in when everything's on sale. Wouldn't this have the effect of turning a woul

On the other hand, I recently sold a house that received a lot of offers. Only one person actually had the down payment money. Everyone else's loans were approved, but most were people were coming with low cash and lower income than I

I guess I feel a bit less stupid now for never getting comfortable with the ribbon. Anything beyond the basics that I use frequently, I'm maximizing my window then digging through every menu. I thought the old menu system was so much m

I lasted until a third round of layoffs. I got lucky in that a friend had a lead on a job in the mortgage industry, writing loan origination document software. Within a week, I was riding the next catastrophic bubble.

If I'm searching commits, I'm trying to find record of what changed and when. I only want clues, and quick skimming is paramount. I want no personality. I want concise descriptive commit messages. That said, we reference an ID fro

It's nice that it knows when I leave and adjusts accordingly automatically. If I need to come home at a non-routine time, I can adjust from my phone so that it's comfortable when I get home. I don't see the need for most smar

I've been using it for 10 years as well. I haven't noticed it getting better or worse during this span. It's never been perfect, but it's always been good enough.

I'm still using one I built in 2009. CPU, motherboard, and PSU are really the only original components anymore, so maybe it's not a great comparison, but it's still a great machine that can do heavier lifting than my maxed ou

Facebook's implementation is only behind two clicks. When you go to add a post, there's a drop-down to select who you want to see it. Opening the drop-down is one click. Selecting the list is the other one. The problem is in manag

You were fired for simply asking for a raise? I was once in a position where a new director came in and brought in a bunch of his own people, as he starting letting go existing staff. I quickly found out that they were all making a lot more

I'm pushing 40. It's split in my circle. Less than half use it. Of the other half, it's mostly women. I personally tried it and rejected it after getting a feel for how it works.

I've spent so much time tweaking Twitter notifications and ultimately just had to turn them all off. It would be nice if they had one option for notifying me for @mentions and nothing else.
