I mean it’s a pretty damn generous package. Hell, I’ll take it and chill for a month or two before jumping into another job.

I’d love to get laid off with a quarter+ of a year paid for.

IMO having the option to work remote is fine but I think a hybrid model works best. A career is not just about working and cranking out code, it’s about making connections, networking, and building relationships. Most 100% remote workers will soon realize they are limited in their career mobility because they won’t have the option to foster great work relationships and make friends. Humans collaborate best when in-person.

Remote work has also made it easier to feel like you’re always on the clock and can fix and do things from home at any time.

It’s important to have a work life balance and separation of the two. Sure, some people are excellent at time management and 100% remote work is perfect for them, but most are not.

I miss having an office and seeing my colleagues face to face, getting in the conference room and white boarding through a complex problem in real time.

Remote work is fine as an option, and everyone has things to deal with every now and then that makes it easier to have the option of working from home, but I do believe a hybrid model is the best solution. Both from a collaboration point of view and social networking.

It was a long time ago. It was a flagship Motorola phone or something. Either way, the fact remains that android is fragmented as fuck. Has to support a whole bag of different hardware configurations and is quirky, then manufacturers abandon the hardware and don’t provide android os updates. Each manufacturer adds their own bloatware apps to the android ecosystem.

There’s a reason even 5-6 year old iPhones still work like a charm on iOS even today. The hardware is much better integrated and supported by the software.

MVP can be as small as you want. Best thing is to just build it one feature at a time until it becomes a usable coherent product at minimum. An MVP can take as little as one day, depending on what MVP means for you.

It’s all relative and it’s important to set small achievable goals that you can increment continuously with consistent effort.

I used to be a die hard android and Linux user, cuz you know it was all hip. I got frustrated with android phones never being updated in the early days. Linux always having video driver issues with multiple monitors and a crappy UI. A buddy gave me his old iPhone 5 to use when like the 7 or 8 was already out. The 5 was still better than my 1 year old android phone that I broke.

Apple just gets hardware right. Id never buy a non Apple product for my phone or laptop. They have the edge now especially more so with the latest silicon.

Vertical integration works when done right and Apple does it best.

Just use voice to text / siri when possible. It’s a blessing when driving being able to dictate to the digital assistant and send texts or type up emails with your voice. Most underutilized feature of siri and Google assistant. If you have to be quiet, autocorrect seems to work quite well for me when typing. I literally get 40% of the keystrokes wrong and it works fairly well.

Reddit UI slowly converged to the digg UI that killed it.

I use old.reddit.com

The newer UI is just so much bloat.

Bring back IRC style UIs that are data rich and don’t have a million pixels of white padding cause some UX graduate thinks it looks cool.

Most places will tell you 40 hours a week, but in reality if you want to move up you gotta be the person that puts out fires and is available on call to fix shit when it breaks out of the blue.

There’s some companies that have solid process and don’t require more than 40 hours a week with the ability to advance, unfortunately most companies aren’t like that.

One mistake I’ve made that I won’t in the future is to stick my nose and fix things that aren’t really my responsibility. There’s a fine line to walk between revealing your other strengths where you can help other teams, but more often than not you end up with more responsibility and doing 2-3 other peoples work.

You have to be careful getting involved in other departments even though you can do it better than those employees and can fix urgent problems. You get stuck with more permanent responsibilities that weren’t part of your main job duties.

Django Rest framework and django admin are a god sent for getting a quick mvp app up and managing the data.

It's not really a comparison, but more so used to show you the perspective of the university's deep pockets and just how deep they are.

If a single university has a bigger endowment than the entire monetary value of produced goods and services of a country for a whole year, it gives you perspective on what that money can do when poured specifically into a single purpose (education, R&D, attracting academic talent, etc)

Similar to uber with their subsidized rides. Early on uber was dirt cheap, now it's 3x for those same fares after they drove the taxi businesses to the ground.

I do that sometimes but I started going for thinner cuts of meat and just grill them in 12-15 mins. Sousvide is nice but sometimes takes too long and you still gotta sear.

For nicer cuts of meat, sure, but for flank steak and such, I find it much easier to just let the meat marinate for 24-48 hours and then grill it.

Taxes are escrowed and bundled in with the monthly payment to the mortgage provider though.

My taxes went up quite a bit this year, which reflects in the monthly payment. Of course the mortgage part of it stays the same, but the overall monthly payment which includes the taxes and insurance goes up.

What I do is buy meat in bulk from costco and marinate and preseason then cut it up and vacuum seal it with a $30 vacuum sealer and sousivide bags from amazon.

I can then stuff my freezer with ready to cook chicken, steak, fish, etc. I just take it out the night before to thaw in the fridge.

Decentralized, meaning can't be controlled by a single government or entity.

The price is rising due to speculation. The supply hasn’t changed. Like literally the price is going up because speculators think the supply of Russian oil and gas will be reduced, but it hasn’t yet!!!

The markets are a curse and a blessing…

The case for a decentralized Web 3.0 grows by the minute.

I get multiple per day sometimes. Definitely 3-4 a week.

It's all software vendors or consulting companies or recruiters trying to hit me up and win our company's business by pitching how they can staff me with resources or provide some service we don't need.

I just ignore them to be honest. I'm swamped with work as it is, juggling multiple projects, and most of them offer things we're not interested in.

The worst is when I get calls on my phone from rando sales people. IDK how they got my number.

Basically a 0% chance I'd respond to any of those cold outreaches be it via email or phone.

Snake Island - ukranian soldiers were actually captured not killed

Ghost of Kyiv ..

it's irresponsible sensationalist propaganda by MSM

the IAEA has already confirmed the plant is fine

https://twitter.com/iaeaorg/status/1499562515340177416

"#Ukraine tells IAEA that fire at site of #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has not affected “essential” equipment, plant personnel taking mitigatory actions."

I get it's a war, but I can't take the news cycle anymore. Full of unconfirmed BS. Ghost of Kyiv, Snake Island, etc.

news spreading about "elevated radiation levels near the power plant" and the plant being on fire are also fake https://twitter.com/iaeaorg/status/1499562515340177416

#Ukraine regulator tells IAEA there has been no change reported in #radiation levels at the #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant site.

anyways, the news cycle nowadays and the misinformation is insane

CNN literally reporting "Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is on fire, according to the mayor of a nearby town."

Which again, sensationalist title the plant itself is not on fire. CNN and FoxNews literally saying it's another Cherynobyl - "Fears of disaster greater than Chernobyl as Putin's forces attack largest atomic plant in Europe"

Idk man, I get it's a war and shit is serious, but the information overload of propaganda from all sides is insane and is really fucking with people's anxiety and mental state.

AT&T customer service, sleazy ass door to door salesmen and their website and support sucks, as I agree. Their fiber is good though. Unfortunately I had a horrible experience with AT&T as well and if I had another option for fiber I would switch. Alas, the American regional monopolies persist. Internet infrastructure should be govt owned and you should be able to get quality service at a decent price.

Your only option is to escalate to a higher tier support engineer or manager to resolve the issue. I’ve had to deal with their support system for billing errors on their side and once you get to the right person they are very helpful but getting there takes hours on the phone.

Could be worse. My buddy ordered a basic trim Jeep Wrangler. Was supposed to get it in September then didn’t hear anything. 2 weeks ago he went to the dealership to find out his order was cancelled by the factory and had to fight his way up 3 levels of managers until they told him and gave him his money back for the deposit.

I feel like it'll only get worse as we move past covid and everything is open at 100% like it was pre-covid.

Ughhh the loans were meant to be forgiven if used for payroll and to help the business keep people employed. It was a stop gap measure to prevent further layoffs. My company hired employees with the PPP loan and had to submit a lot of paperwork to get the loans forgiven. As long as the loans were used for payroll, they can be forgiven. We had to get our employee count back up to pre covid layoffs and show proof of hours worked, еtc.

Ask for a raise and bring up these points.

You're doing a lot more work, but never got paid for it. Doesn't hurt to ask, or go get an offer from another company and use it as leverage if you want to stay at your current company.

Value of crypto got too big, now the govt wants in.

Can't say we didn't see this coming.

This is good for crypto as it opens the doors for mainstream and institutional adoption at higher levels.

Plus, stable coins should be regulated and audited. Looking at you tether.

Glad he had the balls to step down and call them out. The other committee members and people in charge of the project should be embarrassed as they failed to represent the best needs of the university and its students.

Windowless dorms, crazy 97 year old billionaire amateur architect and a bunch of corrupt university staff and committee members who would do anything to save a few bucks. What could go wrong? Humanity at its finest.

PoS blockchains like cardano have solved the carbon and energy problem. Move over bitcoin.
