I am not OP but have found myself in his post. I was laid off at the tail end of 2019, a mere week after I returned from my honeymoon. No explanations: money was tight, the higher ups wanted someone out, and I was the only remote worker. At

By this time last year I was starting to enjoy my first summer with a driving license, finishing the first renovation on my recently bought home (no mortgage!), choosing a venue for getting married in September, and earning a decent salary

I have a non-functional Sparcstation IPX that spent _years_ in the trunk of the car of one of my dad's coworkers. I took the electronics out and intend to build something cool inside _any day now_. I also had a C64 when I was about 6 y

Lo de los padres inmigrantes no era ningún tipo de crítica malintencionada ni nada por el estilo. Me refiero a que seguramente existan dificultades a las que se haya tenido que enfrentar tu familia en cuanto a trámites administrativos, disc

Sou, let's say a new deadline sets you up for failure. You communicate this perspective. You manage the pang of panic, get to work, do your best. It's still failure. It's not that you disappoint yourself, since you _knew_ it

as one who took a pay cut to work on a place like you describe: this is not 100% good solid advice, although i'm sure it comes from good intentions. it might work for the OP, but then, these places are usually PLAGUED by political mane

Maybe you should practice what you preach. I'm 34 now and I'd side with the OP on this. I did a similar thing on my first job: took their web app codebase and totally remade it in the first couple of months, with demonstrable gain

it saved me some work recently as I got to the 'ok, time to dress this up a bit' phase of a project. still recognizable as Bootstrap, but also an easy way to inject a bit of design and good taste in a prototype.

I read it last week. While I enjoyed it, at times it seemed almost like a Da Vinci Code of teenage scifi, and sported an enormous namedrop of culture pop memes for advancing the plot...

Yeah, well, reject Apple yourself and put it into the Play Store. I use a Macbook Air and multiple idevices. I don't develop mobile (yet). I'm sorry, but I find all these 'daddy Apple rejected my app' posts a bit tiring.

Rainbow's Edge read to me like an up to date, go-with-the-times version of Neuromancer. I'd should probably revisit it.

Anathem (especially the last third of it) is an awesome reading. It's slow-building and the first two thirds took some will to get through, but it was really worth the struggle. Incredibly high-concept (for me at least).

Any hypothesis that does not include electric drivetrains (ala Tesla) powered by solar (ala Solarcity) is going to be wrong. Also, the 'loop' part strongly implies that it will store excess energy. I think the 'immune to weather + no need f

This has made me wonder: a tablet app that took a codebase and let you sketch notes and reference anchors to other files in a transparent canvas layered over the code (a stylus would be required, though). Something like mindmapping over a c
