How much money (hourly) are you offering and how much does your product cost? I'd be willing to accept $100/hr from someone I'm paying $100/month to, but I wouldn't care for $25/hr from someone I'm paying

Is this pattern of responses from him, the same to everyone, or just to you? If it's the former, it's probably just them and not office politics.

Their answer sounds fine to me. Stack trace usually means a full stack trace. I've rarely seen one in production - it's usually for unhandled errors. Usually it'll be a one line log which will point you to the point in code w

I think it's an apt analogy. If the store manager has never seen you before, the store manager would not know who you are at all unless you introduce yourself. The only thing they would learn about you would be characteristics like hei

We recently got Liraglutide for a family member and it's worked wonders. (It's an alternative to semaglutide, and only available as an injection). They've lost weight for the first time at age 64, mostly because they just don

There's quite a few VPNs who have been asked to keep logs by the authorities but the VPN providers contest it in court, and since their jurisdiction laws don't need them to, the courts side with the VPN providers. Mullad, OVPN are

I find it varies a lot from day to day and time to time. It probably has to do with a combination of sleep, food, type of contexts and tasks I'm working in, distractions (active and passive/background), and probably other factors.

I would've 100% sued and paid for PR releases if they deleted a domain name I owned. I'm sure I could make decent money off punitive damages based off the email they sent, and these headlines would be pretty catchy - "Tech gi

Have you looked into Bareos? I'm setting up backups and looked into most available solutions, including restic, borg, and duplicity, but Bareos by far seems the best one. It's just a little harder to set up, but totally worth it.
