Anecdotally, +1. I’d also say this benchmark matches my experiences and how much I trust the model output

I remember applying for a position a few years back. After I saw a bunch of questions related to high school I noped out due to weird vibes. Sounds like it was a good call

I’d never considered using a reference manager for bookmarks but looking at the feature set, it’s kinda perfect

I envy those with a solid plan to get out. I feel age is going to start to count against me and my passion for programming is dead. But I can’t deny the compensation in this career is great, which makes me not want to move on, for now

You triggered a memory from when I bought Avatar on blu-ray. PC at the time had a blu-ray drive. Booted up Windows. Opened up one of the few dedicated software options I was forced to buy for blu-ray support. Disc doesn’t work properly?? Ch

Perl was one of the first languages I learned and also the first language I used commercially. I have a huge soft spot for it as a language. Still love Perl regular expressions like no other. I loved the camel book and its various footnotes

Poorly thus far. I’ve got stats from when I applied for jobs two years ago and it’s a very different picture. Previously: 19 applications and 4 solid offers. Same number of applications this year. I’ve been ghosted, told my skills and exper

Thank you! That’s very helpful to know. First time I’ve even heard of things like this but when using low quality networks I can see how this would be great!

Can you share more details on the setup of the error correcting tunnel? That sounds very interesting!

This is really great advice and I appreciate it. You're right about having something to start writing in immediately. It's funny getting tied up in the process when I haven't really even discovered if I have much love or knac

This is nice advice. I ended up with choice paralysis even deciding how to set up and publish blog posts. Static site generators with deployment pipelines? Something more traditional like Wordpress? Other?

More than 1000. More than I'd like. I can't help but wonder how many websites my personal information is on at this point between random shopping, forums, and all the rest.

I had a lifetime license with a forum software company that switched to a subscription model. I questioned the fairness, but they claimed the new product was built on an entirely new foundation different, the forum utilises that foundation,

I love seeing alternatives but one thing I really appreciate about ngrok is the web UI. The log of incoming requests, headers and payloads, is very helpful during development. Do any of these alternatives offer something similar? Or is ther

Given the bug was reported 13 years ago and still isn’t resolved, that leads me to wonder what workaround they presumably did use

I think it supports both. There’s options for off grid that includes Bluetooth and multipeer connectivity, and options for multicast dns and relay servers. As for the why: it supports Android and iOS so if you don’t have an Android device,

The “Lite” version is an experimental release that supports Manifest V3. Unfortunately, that has various limitations

Given the title for the 1 cent option is 100-999 Terabytes, it’s presumably 100+ terabytes as the minimum. Took me a minute though!

I’m also curious about the use case. For debugging things locally, it is ideal for my needs.

Ah that’s fair. I used it for a few small projects and personal domains, nothing commercial. Gmail felt way ahead at the time and having it free for my own domains was great.

I find myself in a similar boat. Have you decided on an alternative? I'm not likely to start paying for Google Workplace but am happy to pay for another service. Thankfully my needs are pretty simple, I only ever used GSuite for my own

It does sound as if anyone has G Suite Legacy Free accounts will need to start paying. There is a help article which outlines this in more detail: https://support.google.com/a/answer/60217?hl=en-GB > Can I keep

I’m open to ideas! My poor imagination often seems to stumble across domains already taken :)

I feel like I hear more and more of these horror stories. I’ve been looking to migrate my custom domain away from Google for a while and was also looking at Fastmail. I use an @gmail.com for everyday things because it’s widely recognised an

The data privacy laws makes people think harder about the collection and usage of data. That’s definitely a good thing. What I don’t want to see is big corporations subvert that

I find Ventoy really good! Saves juggling many USB drives and it worked fine with the ISOs I tested including Windows 10, Macrium Reflect’s recovery disc, and Ubuntu. I was pretty close to buying a hardware solution (iodd) but for simple ne

I wonder if PayPal’s consumer protection is also part of the appeal? I had to use the dispute resolution once. The merchant become unresponsive to all other means. PayPal ruled in my favour and provided a refund. I’m not sure a credit card
