canada is very protective of its regulated fields. if you didn't graduate in the US or Canada, it's very hard for an immigrant to become a vet/dentist/doctor/lawyer/engineer/accountant/etc. So these p

indeed you should avoid postgres if all you need is saving files on a disk. that's exactly the point. people reach for complex client side frameworks when all they need is to render some markup.

not trying to be facetious or anything, but I doubt their product team is worried about customers that are mad they have to click a few extra buttons to save 1 or 2 dollars per month

half finished projects that you developed on your own don't hold that much value. They may pad those green stats, but those can be faked quite easily. It's contributions to projects with other contributors that really matter.

it's at least one server (_any_ computer that never turns off) hosting things you would use (and probably pay) on a day-to-day basis. The most important point is to be available all the time in multiple devices that you own, that'

this kind of harms the appeal of a homelab. If you search youtube, you will find many creators sharing their labs. But when you look at the services they host, 80% of it is just stuff to maintain their infra (hypervisors, monitoring tools,

Seconding the sentiment on this thread, I used this book to learn JS 5 years ago, and it's awesome. I've never seen another resource as good. YDKJS is more of an advanced treatment. If you're a beginner it feels academic, whi

this strategy goes down the drain for any profession that relies on being on one of the big cities to thrive. What do you suggest for those people?

if it continues for another decade? It's already unaffordable now

I have a raise, the build quality is definitely top notch. But their software/firmware is very underwhelming if you want to do anything besides basic key remapping and basic layers. I just ended up giving up on trying to use their stuf

For me it was never about speed, it’s about comfort. I always unconsciously hated having to reach for the arrow keys all the way to the right of the keyboard to select words and move around.

I agree with most of these. This one needs to be careful though > Yoga fixes lifelong back pain that drugs, swimming obsessively, chiropractors and workouts could not fix. I'm healing a back problem that Yoga would definitely just m

yeah, foods with more fiber will also make you less hungry, which in turn makes you eat less calories... CICO is a great approach for the general population, and works great even amongst professionals that have weight management as their ca

by gassiss 4y ago
you're technically right, but just nitpicking. Of course you could count the calories in fibers and that wouldn't make you fat, as your body can't process that. But most people do not eat fiber for 90% of their meals

if your weight didn't change, most likely you were eating at maintenance. The fact that you have a surplus every now and then won't change your body composition. Consistency matters a lot with regards to human weight. To add to wh

Had a similar experience. Stayed at a 4.9 star superhost place, and the place was terrible. Very cheap and uncomfortable furniture (I had to buy my own pillows in order to sleep), and the place smelled of sewage most of the day for some rea

Specially if you factor in the marginal tax you'll pay on the side gig, it's almost never worth it imo. I know that was a turn off for me at least, so starting a business if you have the energy will have way more upside

I'm hoping for this as well. It's probably going to be way more expensive than normal though, considering how efficient car manufacturing is and how hard it is for new players to get into (and the loss of revenue for not having &q

> Essentially, the argument is that the cost of government shouldn't be invisible. Brazil went through the same thing, but took the (imo smarter) approach of describing the tax breakdown in the receipt
