Yeah thats what i meant. The coloured in button to catch your eye if you're in a hurry. I was quite surprised to see being asked for such things. Whether that actually makes a difference or not i guess we'll never know.

I'm in Europe (England) and when i fired up facebook on my phone this morning, i got the option to opt out of this. The accept it button was the default and obvious button to click on though.

indeed. I've played a lot of mmos, from UO and onwards. Nothing really compares to EVE in the slightest. Perhaps SWG to some extent but EVE is like the Dwarf Fortress of MMOs. lots of levels of details and harsh

I started in 2004, and played semi seriously for big bouts until probably 2012 or so. Every year or news story would get me back in...and i'd recognise less and less. I stopped myself reading eve politics not that long ago, as that w

I miss Eve so much, there isn't a mention of Eve on this site that doesn't get me pining for the game again. Sadly everyone i flew with no longer play :/ What the status of the game, last i looked i barely recognised any

This was pretty much my route too. BBC Basic (Albeit on an Acorn Electron). Whilst my friends we're rocking the much "cooler" Spectrums, i didn't have people to swap games with so got my interest in programming there.

I'm at around 8 years as well and have the sames as you really. I love working from home, but social isolation is a thing. I should have probably had those 5 to 6 1:1's. Whilst I'm in a team, my skill set is different from

Wow the people you find in the most random of places. Spent many good hours with RR2. Good times, thanks for your energies on that.

Was nice to read. Would love to read more of this "After sinking 10-20k hours into a single MMO and accomplishing a lot of unbelievable things within the confines of its gargantuan ruleset"

sounds about right. I've been remote for coming up to 10 years. I've had numerous offers for more than double my current salary, and meh I like the 4+ hours a day extra i have free. Thats glorious, but "first world problem

Initially Windows 10 felt fresh and nice, combined with all the other 'nice' things Microsoft have been up to...i was happy. Being able to ssh from windows cmdline...excellent stuff. But... ...with every stupid update, and after

Maybe these types of people are too busy to be on HN, but let's hope not.

Just commenting to say that you worded that very well. I'd have just linked 'New Dawn Fades'

Agreed. Those semi regular approached by Work to relocate perhaps shoudln't be dismissed out of hand. Would love to leave the country until all this brexit shit washes over

Unless they are vaguely techy, i generally just say "with computers", or perhaps "safeguarding data for disaster recovery, for a company in Movies/Advertising"

by sshagent 9y ago
I agree with that completely. I'm actually a team of one, no one else does my work. So there isn't any random coffee chat, or overhearing someone talking of a problem that i can help with. There are two big negatives i find from

Well I am primarily a NetBackup guy, so those emergencies happen a lot more frequently than you'd think :) And yes, I'm fine with working late when needed.

exactly this. I've been working from home for about 8 years now, and even those days when i don't have 100% concentration I'm still a lot more productive than in an office environment. I've been offered and approached a

Similar for me really. All my school friends had spectrums, i had an Acorn Electron. Nothing wrong with it at all, but i had no one to swap games with...and being poor led me to messing about with the code side of it. Well done to my par

As someone who has wasted far too many hours in games, i believe that DF to be simply the best game ever made. The UI is rather horrific but something you can get used to. Admitedly it took so many efforts to figure out the game but that

Whatever you end up going with you have to actually regularly restore the data and simulate a disaster recovery. Whilst it makes sense to have automatic checks in place, IMO its always worth manually doing the recovery. Prove it all works

This rings so true, i had to check i hadn't written this last night. Whilst onsite on that once a fortnight visit, i can't do anything that involves real concentration. I detest open offices, but working from home has just made

this is pretty much what i took from this story. its not pleasant granted, but really you need to push back occasionally. Constant call outs is really an issue the management need to resolve so its not such a burden.

thats exactly my first thoughts. Seems a bold claim to travel so far, with such a seemingly small potential battery space

perhaps that one year was to reach top raider kind of level. probably a lot easier to summarise as max level than them letting us know what dungeons and raids he spent his time in.
