As a programmer I don't really agree with this article as I was practically working remote even when I was in the office, but I also can't deny that my knees have been getting progressively more achy. Likely because I am sitting f

I have so many iffy IoT devices I've been trying to pick apart the firmware for years now. this may be a game changer for me. I'm kinda surprised people here aren't as excited for this as I am.

The article mainly talks about bringing new people to their platform, but another factor for most of these companies is all that juicy new viewer habit data they can harvest.

Dunno if it's my ADHD or what, but I've been using subtitles ever since streaming became a thing. And even more so after I had a kid. I basically cannot hear without subtitles.

In my experience, most single person only interviews are done by someone who is probably not capable of giving a good enough explanation. And multi round interviews with several current employees would require a lot of extra work they simpl

This also gives the current employer the benefit of doing nothing preemptively. It puts the onus on the employee to go through all this extra effort just to get the match. I'm sure plenty of employees take it too but shouldn't.

Elon is acting like the weird kid in school who accidentally did something that kinda made him popular and thought he could do it over and over but everyone just got tired of it after the first couple times

I see a ton of people talk about how difficult blender is/was to use, but what I found funny is some of those same people use VIM.. Blender took me almost the exact same amount of time to learn as 3ds, but honestly once I got used to b

My kid definitely liked it. I love anything CG so I'm extremely interested want to watch again knowing blender was 100% used.

But you overlooked the part that makes this complicated and sparks this whole debate. It's free to get and free to modify, but can you sell what you modified.

Yeah the analogy I use is "Feel free to use my garage and tools any time you like, just don't take my stuff and sell it" Unclear about "don't use my tools for monetery gain"

I think a lot of people get confused about that. There are hundreds (probably more) of paid software that offers it's source code up. You can use it to learn from or make improvements if you want but must pay if you want to actually us

This argument has been going on for a while, but apparently exploded recently. Im so conflicted about this. I feel like my left brain is fighting my right brain. Or mom and dad are fighting again. On one hand, I have been a huge blender fan

It is if you take into account the fact that the people buying one for a product are most likely going to buy more for other products too. The very few people I know with them have 5 or more. That adds up. Especially considering you could j

Whenever I see those pointless uses of IoT, I pretty much just think of the SkyMall catalog. Lots of neat things that nobody will ever really use.

The term is 'cold calling' and it's a pretty standard thing for most sales people to do. It sucks and it takes a lot of effort but it does pay off sometimes. The tricky part for freelancers doing this is that most developers

I have a paid account and only use protonmail for business and personal emails and use Gmail for anything else. 95% of the emails I get are junk anyway so I just try to separate that even more. It seems most people care more about spam filt

The title made produce a rare, audible 'whaaat?' when i read it. But looking more, I don't believe it's as simple as they literally own all of RadioShack now. I think it would be a terrible idea for them to do that this

I'm curious though. What's the root domain going to be if this one is lite? Being a .io I'd like to think it will be an api site or something?

I don't know much about it but they have 8.5k stars on github so it seems fairly popular.

I was kinda more thinking the other person kicked a garbage can or chair and it banged the authors knee or something. Had similar happen at a start up years ago and seems more plausible than being attacked. If he were attacked like I think

The vagueness of that part reminded me of a time I worked at a small startup several years ago, and the owner got angry about something and kicked a chair which partly hit a couple of us. The damage was pretty mild but one of us did get ban

Ive been looking for more 'technical skeptic' posts about cash-grab cryptos, so this author better post more articles like this. Got tired of hearing about some new amazing, world changing crypto coming out and then spending hour

I think a lot of people, me included, play on both sides of this fence too often. Where we shun companies that host this content, but will also blame them for restricting freedom of speech if they remove it. I definitely see both sides to t

Totally agree. It was years ago when I found their blog post about hexagonal grid generation and it was the most informative one I had seen anywhere. Still is today. Plus the interactive parts give the sections so much more meaning. I often

I definitely agree. And for some reason your comment reminded me of something a sales guy who used to work for a fairly large online company told me. He said the way they see it, is that it's similar to a company sending out kiosks to
