Exactly. It's hard enough to save money as it is. News websites blow my mind with this - if I forked over $5 to every news outlet I occasionally like to read, I'd be spending at least $500 maybe more per year JUST to get access

I haven't read the document but what's wrong with the term "human"? Is there some other intelligent life-form on this planet contributing to technology and software today that I'm unaware of? Picking on the word hum

I also have an APC Back-UPS. Mine are the Back-UPS 650 model, I have two of them. Both emit an annoying LOUD high-frequency capacitor whirring noise that is audible to my ears even when the loud AC intake fan is blowing in the same room. I&

Zero problems here either. I paid much less than $370 in the USA. Much better headphones than my Sony wh-1000xm3 or powerbeats. So at least two of us.

The points you make are fine but I think the experience becomes more painful linearly with the number of servers you manage, since you're N times more likely to see something happen that takes down a server. It just happens more freque

Wow, that is an interesting fact... thanks. I've never heard this before, and I don't think it's common knowledge among non-Mormons like myself. Interesting stuff...

Probably not but for certain use-cases Intel is just way easier and less trouble (building a Hackintosh with Thunderbolt 3 connections for a UA audio interface, for one). And yeah, not everyone has such special needs but some of us do even

In this case, many of the features appear to be improvements upon features originally introduced in Garageband iOS, so the features are trickling backwards consumer -> pro.

Haha. I probably share your viewpoint about 90% of the time (I do not have kids), but people do not like to hear harsh statements like this.

Python is great, but I think the answer to "develop a web app as quickly as possible" is just going to be whatever the developer has been using and is comfortable with. A .NET developer might be able to throw up a webapp quicker w

Installing something is easy, learning how to write Elixir/Phoenix/maybe Erlang is the hard part. Don't ever let "installation" prevent you from trying something, on Mac it's literally "brew install elixir

Nice, I ordered a pack for myself. Better than adding Tp to Instacart and hoping it magically shows up.

Hmm I do have ADHD but your first statement "learn the technique, not to finish" definitely could apply to me both in technical (software engineering and coding) areas of my life as well as artistic (music, recording, mixing, etc.

Kurzarbeit is described on Google as "Short-time working or short time is a situation or system in which civilian employees agree to or are forced to accept a reduction in working time and pay.". That's different than a layof

Don't you mean >N days? If a maintenance schedule requires maintenance every 60 days but the plane needs to be rebooted every 50 days, that would be cause for concern.

It is pretty pointless though!

Perhaps installation and config are not as streamlined as one of the many available k8s setup tools, but the tools themselves are much easier to understand and less broad than the k8s system. Used nomad/consul/fabio at a previous

Hmm, most of my work laptops never get used unplugged and I've never had issues. It might be fun to implement some sort of service that checks battery life once per day and turns off a smart plug (which the Macbook power adapter is plu

I agree with you :) but let's not tell the employers who gladly buy the top-of-the-line models for their programmers ;) I am quite happy with my new 2020 MBP.

I broke my 2016 15" Macbook Pro display while attempting to replace the Macbook logo bezel (I know, stupid of me...). Anyone have suggestions on what the best option is going forward? Looks like ~$700 to pay Apple to fix, less to DIY b

We also use 1Password at my employer of ~30. I have had 1Password Personal account and used the 1Password app since 2010. It's amazing now, especially if you're on iOS with FaceID. I used Okta at a previous employer; it was good t

Name some examples of price increases that were unfair? Price increases due to inflation are a necessity. I can't see a world where I would buy a software once and use it forever , so paying for upgrades is necessary at some point.

Perhaps this is an effect of learning to program in the 2010s, but paying for a programming language (Java, PHP) sounds crazy to me. Do people actually do this?

I don't know much about jobs outside of tech, but I know most of them at the entry level to a few years of experience in accounting, finance, real estate, etc. do not pay much over $60k (if that) and pretty much all of those jobs are g
