Wasn't worth it for me. A lot of time chasing imaginary internet points. No one gives a shit what you or I have to say or think. Why waste time on shadow activities like that? I quit my blog and focused on my projects in the dark.

I don't think the law has done much at all. I operate a business that serves as a data broker / processor under GDPR. I have had a total of 66 data requests in 4 years. I handle data requests and follow the laws, but I also unders

The last part was just for fun. I was originally going to throw in a "Start a cash business and launder your drug money through it." which is probably more useful.

That's what they say now, they don't exactly have a good extension record themselves. I operate some popular extensions and I now maintain a v2 and v3 build (make file). I'd love to nuke the v2 build tasks and only operate in

Great news. Now the only required extensions are an ad blocker, tamper monkey, no script, multi-account containers, container proxy, tree style tabs and auto tab discard.

Mm, I am a paid customer as well. I use proton mail exclusively and I like the calendar. You can add events to your calendar from an email/invite. I also share calendars with non-proton users (my wife uses user iPhone/calendar app

You do realize Firefox is going to V3 as well?

Alternative strategy, buy a few dozen bags of uncle bens instant rice and a dozen Psilocybin spore syringes for like ~$100. Grow a few tubs full of mushrooms and sell them online and get paid in Monero. Cash out a small portion of the profi

1. Pick an industry you know well. 2. Look at the most popular monthly paid tools in that industry. 3. Pick a tool that seems interesting and not too difficult to duplicate. 4. Build a competitive product. 5. Sell it.

This may be somewhat anecdotal, but I founded a product in the recruiting space and my daily active users and key metrics are all well within expectations and trending up. I would say we are doing fine, do not let the fear mongering get to

What's the alternative then? From the looks of it, this individual offended in 2011 and did his time (120 days in prison). Hasn't offended since (nearly 11 years). It seems to me like he made a mistake, did his time and did someth

It's a tough position to be in. I think the CoC is fair in that you shouldn't discriminate the ex-felon. You can't refuse to work with someone because of something they have done in the past and paid for (with jail, presumabl

Actions speak louder than words. Put together a strong portfolio and demonstrate what you are capable of.

The post struck me the same way as well. In particular, how he mentioned more than once that he was ready to give it an "earnest attempt" this time. As if there were other times he was on his way up but didn't fully commit (I

Well, Udacity is 90% SPA (React) and it's a content/page driven site.

And yet, a large portion of big websites using SPAs don't seem to have functioning back buttons. If a billion dollar company can't get it to work properly I doubt anyone else can.

I use Stripe. I require logging in to a service before the extension can be used.

I have a number of popular browser extensions (10,000+ users). I don't see any barriers. It's quite easy to do, fun and profitable.

I highly, highly recommend cgit. It's a lot safer than hosting accounts, databases, etc. It's a read only frontend for bare repositories.

It was all a set up. It was glued together with Ruby.

To be fair, investing half a million is nothing if it results in the improvements they want. It would be far costlier to rebuild infrastructre, train and shape a culture around another technology stack in an already monoculture company like

Not quite. Cgo makes static linking not possible, reducing cross platform ability.

Probably. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I still prefer overt rudeness to silent back stabbing, one upping sabotage though.

Consider yourself lucky. You got to find out the place wasn't for you before accepting an offer there and wasting more of your time. They did you a favor. It didn't happen to you, it happened for you.

Well, that would only mean they raised subscriptions last month to then add a "new" low price with ads. In reality, they increased prices for everyone and added back the original plan with ads. I'd say my confidence in Netfli

I only pay for Netflix because it is ad free. I would simply go back to torrenting everything and tossing it on a hard drive attached to the tv.

Read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. Cut off social media, gaming and other distractions. Figure out what you want and what your goals are. Figure out the things you need to do to reach your goals, and then do it (every day).
