Maybe I'm just not in-tune here, but I really can't see any difference in the two side-by-side examples?

Similar situation and probably the same city. I really miss my Fiber but have been pleasantly surprised with Spectrum so far. I have far better network hardware so for what I do I can't tell much of a difference, for now.

Amen to this. It's a pain as a seller, but it works out for them because I use PayPal whenever possible on a subscription requirement solely because of this. Why is this so hard?

Great point. With everything going on in the world and myself being a new father, I've recently reflected on the costs of these as well. We were gifted a "base" so that I can keep one in my vehicle and my wife can have one in

I was an Avionics Tech in the USN. I remember my initial electronics training being very accelerated and intense. I still remember much of it and use it from time to time even after not using it for many years - so I guess it worked!

I got into facilities management. I get to create / manage construction projects for my "company" from planning all the way to final acceptance. In my area, the whole industry is quite behind technologically. Using tech has h

I have had similar experiences. I've taken very tedious tasks that involved a lot of monotonous paperwork and automated them and that turns everyone's problems into my problem when they don't work the way the user thinks they

This articulates almost every experience I've had with trying to contribute my time to any open source project that has any size. I really think I've figured something out that'll help. I spend many hours getting X codebase t

For me, which was just before stack overflow, it was dodging and weaving through forums and getting grilled on rather it was a homework question or someone copy and pasting the forum FAQ about searching the forum, etc, before posting. Also,

I work for the gov, and accidently moved up faster than I thought I would. Not very satisfying work, but the benefits and pay (vs an entry level dev job in my area) are unbeatable. I'm 28.

I've been developing for 12+ years in many different languages & frameworks. I don't code much anymore due to having to support myself financially, but I certainly didn't find that anyone was impressed with the fact that

Doing something that I love to do, like programming. The hard part is that it'd greatly reduce my quality of life in the short term (gaining paper credentials, finding a job). Along with the fact that I've never programmed as a pr

Do you have any reasons other than having a somewhat decent idea of how much time you have left? Battery power doesn't work on a time basis as power expenditure isn't consistent.

I got into building up my arsenal of tools about 4 years ago and have found that there are quite a bit of programmers and engineers into the hobby. It can also be a decent source of side income, even starting out (cutting boards for myself)

You also have GL (for law enforcement), WS (Wage Scale), WG (Wage Grade), and for contractors the Davis Bacon Act. They all also change depending on locality. I don't know what all goes into determining locality pay, but I can say with
