The reply is suggesting it as a solution to the problem for apps other than Discord, which the parent comment mentions.

The only reason I use chrome is the easy debugger hookup for VSCode. If anyone has any tips on how to get that running with FF, I'm all ears!

Yeah, I think I would rather wait 10 minutes in my car than 5 minutes in line. I'm sure other people may feel differently. And something about the drive-thru still "feels" faster, even if it's not. I think it's just the idea that you get to pull out and be on your way after you've gotten your food.

I know the type of comment I'm about to make is discouraged here but...

That was really funny. Thanks for the laugh, needed that today.

Normally (i.e.: the vast majority of the time), games don't simulate pooping.

One reason I think Netflix has a lot of those 1-season, low budget, 4-8 episode flops is that producing them is a lot lower risk. Unlike a TV network, they don't have to take up time that could be filled by something else, nor do they have to lose money on advertising slots to promote it. And if the show flops, they have no real reason not to keep it up on the site.

For a Netflix-produced show, the first season is almost like an extended pilot who's only judge is the viewership instead of some network executives.

Yeah, I've never seen anyone have their backpack/purse/jacket searched at a movie theatre.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

Thanks for the tip on that, bro! That will really come in handy.

I don't use it, but I do think it's pretty cool. It's small, as a 6'1 male I would say it's just big enough.

My girlfriend uses it when she's having troubles sleeping, she says that it really does put her to sleep quite well.

However, she says that there is a bit of adjustment, when you wake in the night or in the morning, there is a slight moment of panic when you don't have your strength back and are in a sleepy haze, because you have a bit of trouble moving around. But you get used to that.

When you receive it, you have to tie the weighted insert down with cloth ties inside the washable cover. I wish there were more of these on the inside though, the weighted part of the blanket can get too out-of place for my liking, and I also don't trust the ties to hold up for very long if you're not careful moving it. It definitely takes two hands and a good grip to get the blanket on top of you.

I was targeted by an ad for those Gravity Blankets (as I'm sure many others were). I bought one as a gift for my SO. The whole time I was looking at the Gravity Blanket website, I was thinking to myself "dammit, they got me."

What I was even more impressed by is that after I bought one, I never saw another Gravity Blanket ad again.

The latest versions of 1Password (I’m on 7) have great HIBP integration. Really pleased with it so far.

Yep, that's how it works for me, working from Canada. I invoice on the 15th and the last day of the month, wire transfer comes in a week later (just because of how the company chooses to do payroll).

I don't know where you are in Canada, but I would not consider $100k a good rate for a contract position. I would double it to consider it a "good" salary for a contracted position.

>I put out several long reads. It helped us to improve our SEO and led decent traffic to our blog on Medium. Overall, my posts received 150k views in 2017.

My takeaway is that it helps people find the "magical thing" in the first place, especially the people who didn't know they were looking for the magical thing.

>If you care about keeping your shit secure, it shouldn't be on the internet at all.

If only we lived in a world where this was practical.

I don't think it's unreasonable to be concerned about privacy this way, or to take issue with the possibility that this acquisition could make it easier for one to be spied on or surveilled. However, we should also cautious that our tin foil hats do not grow too heavy.

Tasks assigned to older devs I've worked with generally sail through QA. So even if they're not as fast to put in a PR (though this has not been my personal experience either), they're a lot more efficient getting their code into production.

Yeah, that definitely has to be factored into the salary. I choose to pay for an individual insurance plan for these things, including disability insurance which should be accounted for as well.

I don't have any dependents, but that would certainly change things as well.

If you are working from home in Canada (as a self-employed individual), you can claim some of those expenses on your taxes entirely, and a portion of some others.

I can write off my entire phone and internet bills and all office supplies. I can also include a portion of my rent (or mortgage) and utilities proportional to the size of my office and the total square footage of the dwelling. The actual list of claim-able expenses does not end there.

I also burn a hell of a lot less fuel since I have no commute.

It's a Canadian invention, and to this day quite localized to Canada, where it's nearly the standard for carpentry (at least, every deck screw I've ever seen here is Robertson drive). It's good that it's catching on, it has a few distinct advantages over Phillips, my favourite being that you can mount a screw on the driver and it will stay on the driver due to an interference fit, freeing your other hand to secure, support, or stabilize.

I did exactly this, and have been working remotely for a Californian company as of two months ago. All I had to do was open a sole proprietorship (a trivial errand) and a USD bank account (technically optional), and report in via email on my first day.

As a self-employed contractor, my costs are lower (working from home), I get myriad tax breaks, and my salary is not even comparable to what I could expect locally, even with having to pay for my own health and dental. I can't see myself ever going back to working locally. Hell, I have been thinking about moving into the mountains recently, just for the scenery.

This resonates with me. In a recent stint with a Canadian startup, an exorbitant amount of attention was paid to strengthening and increasing the number of ties we had to Silicon Valley. It seems so often that the end goal is to be able to move to California.

I heard someone say that A.I. is just what we call technology that doesn't work yet. Once it works, we give it a specific name, like "natural speech recognition".

Sexism aside, the morality of this service is interesting. What if this service was involved in a match, and some time later the couple married?

I think remote work definitely favours the introverted personality. I have started a remote gig as of four weeks ago, and I was surprised that I did actually miss the water-cooler/coffee machine conversations. Based on my own personality (and the reasons I chose to pursue a remote position), I didn't expect to. It's harder to talk about sports or make wisecracks over Slack.

On the whole, I am happier working from home for a variety of reasons, but it definitely hasn't been without it's trade-offs.

That was my immediate question, as leather is one of the most hard-wearing upholstery materials available. As far as price goes, at first blush I would imagine this would scale fairly well, at least much better than livestock.

What an unfortunate acronym!

I had enough hiccups getting a clean install of Windows 10 Pro to function fully featured on my XPS15 (6 individual drivers to get full support from the Thunderbolt dock), I couldn't imagine getting a Linux environment going.

+1 to this, currently typing from a two-weeks new XPS15 9560. Manually installed Windows and graphics drivers, I have tinkered with the Intel HD Graphics settings a fair bit previously, however. Would not be surprised if that were the culprit to some extent.

That's a good tip. One would think the same should happen after clicking "no thanks" on the banner.
