I worked at a speed shop in my youth and at the time I was into Paintball so I had an idea. We tried something similar to good effect, but we unfortunately had no good knowledge on how to refine it. It's hard to just shoot compressed a

As a Korean, it's wild to see what words that we got from the Japanese come from somewhere even further. I've always wondered some like Jjokki - Jacket/vest Ppang - Bread dah-mah (I think?) - bulb/fuse mang-toh - Coat&#x

I think the best thing to do is to pay managers less than developers and also disqualify anyone who demands to be a manager, that removes all the folks doing it for the wrong incentives. I know of a few managers that hate being a manager, a

The first gen was also kinda terrible because SSDs were not standard on those. But the 2010s were and it really made it shine. I got a 2012 one and said "Ok I get it now".

Except for their Rail system, that one stops working if you look at it wrong. Metro/Buses are great (except in the West Island of course)

RENT IS HALF THE PRICE! ...your pay is also half the amount.

Exactly, I agree with you.

Having been closely tied to Real Estate and landlords, this is the current understanding of most realtors that deal in English Montreal and its surrounding areas. Sure it may not be the only reason, but it is a definite factor. https:&#x2F

Rent is cheap because people are leaving the xenophobic environment. There's always some referendum talk on a 20 year cycle to keep the rates low, 70s, 90, 10s. So yeah there's a huge Brain Drain from Anglo/English speaking I

I've been wondering about this too. I'm not well versed in the domain to say one thing or another so I will wait to form a concrete opinion before I hear from an expert in the field. I am very curious though like you, if there&#x2

Yes I do, and most Koreans do too. We dip raw peppers into a hot pepper sauce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-bwUP77ElM

Maybe they meant hot from the tap and not boiling, which will certainly crack the windshield.

Don't they get you by making you change the proprietary sponge/ink pad though? Oh and it's not user serviceable. https://epson.ca/Support/wa00369

Man this is the truth. They all have some combination of: odd posture, odd gait, a dry cough, or bad skin. You can talk about ageism in the Tech world, but I've worked as a tradesman for a bit of time when I was young, and there were n

I use Sport as my meditation. It's one of the ways I can disconnect for at least a little while.

My mother in law's mom is from one of these islands, and when I showed her the pictures of this site, she knew the names of most people and their backgrounds. It was incredible listening to that. She also said that a few of the houses

The worst feeling for me is having to buy something twice, where the first time I buy something cheaper that I feel is going to be ok or good enough, and no it falls apart.

Ok I agree with this assessment. These were bad examples as there are brands where there's true bang-for-buck improvement.

I've had many brands of socks, because I'm so picky. Some brands are objectively much better, since they support my feet better, have no seams around the toe area that drives me nuts, wears better (my cheaper socks get holes in th

Ever since my work has issued me a USB-C MacBook, I've gone through 4! Hubs. First was a Satechi, which overheated and broke just past a year which was the warranty period. I left a bad review on Amazon, and they replaced it. That one

It's fun sometimes, but other times it really takes away from the conversation.

This is similar to how I see it. I have a hard time explaining how 7 is a tipsy number that's about the fall into 3 and 4, and how 9 has a voracious appetite to take away a number from another and you can't stop him. It all starte

Right, I'm a React dev, but currently I'm at a point in my project where I have to dip into Flask/Jinja2. It's not "fun" per se in the front-end part, but it's absolutely fine, and what's required for

I remember seeing a Taiwanese group of guys who did just this. I wish I had the link for you. It seemed risky at the time as you were paypaling a bunch of money to these guys overseas without any storefront. But the replies and the great re

It's not unprofessional to leave. But I personally would love the challenge. You need to pace yourself which would be hard, but I would love to be the change that comes from within an organization. I've done this in three places a

This is pretty much the main point that people bring up. Followed by UX experience. My work Slack dies at least once every day, and makes my laptop scream if I have VS Code on. I don't want to know what adding 1Pw will do.

So you had the beautifully engineered experience of macOS to draw native user experiences from, and then you just threw it out because you wanted parity? That doesn't make the macOS experience better, it makes it worse.

For some, we don't need more features, we just need reliability and speed. I don't care if my IDE takes an extra beat or so. But I want and need my password right fast, as soon as I need it. Every slow app that I use is by necessi
