OK I get it, makes sense.

BTW One thing I've always liked about dotnet is the binary is an executable and you run that not the interpreter/vm process. When you look at list of prcesses running you see your process, not java or python.

On windows the dotnet runtime is so ubiquitous I'm a bit surprised this is needed.

> We live our lives as if they were a business enterprise with a balance sheet, always selling, always advertising, always figuring out how to put our personality on display,

I think this is a very American thing to do. In most other cultures this is not true. Notably the OP is presumably British and my British grand parents most definitely were not "always selling" nor "putting their personality on display".

Word and Excel have Review menu items that allow fixing documents then adding edits and comments which need approving. Make sure you know how this works because most people dont use it.

I have a six year old i5-2500 and a 10700K is quicker but still not twice as fast as the 2500. Its really not worth the upgrade.

Many CCs are great for micropayments, its just bitcoin that sucks - it shouldn't be that popular.

Now compare to nj.com

4k is more than resolution too, has more colors that can't be shown in regular RGB formats.

The bundled cooler with the Ryzen helps a lot as well, as those low tech hunks of metal are crazy expensive.

>The fair market price for content is $0.

I would have agree with this two years ago but things have changed. I'm just worn down with the huge volume of free dross that doesn't tell you anything. This year I've started subscribing to a bunch of resources and stopped with google news/fb noise.

With the many covid websites out there its surprisingly difficult to find the information you want. https://www.syracuse.com/coronavirus-ny/ is quite good in that it shows the total number of people in hostpital over time, and change in intubations. NY State only.

Agreed but with touchscreens the trackpad isnt so important.

Are there any authorities that help track down stuff like this now? If you can pay taxes on it you'd think the police would help investigate a theft.

Sorry dont get me wrong, its probably still the top FANG to work for. Just that it isn't elite.

Google is too big to be elite now. 120,000 people, they're just another corporation.

I liked Founders at Work by Jessica Livingston, but it isnt clear what you mean.

At least TP orientation is semi-public. Wait til you think about debate over how many TP sheets you should use and if you're a folder or a scruncher.

I dont understand why the size of bathroom isn't taken into consideration for this important debate.

I've been in small bathrooms where your knees are basically touching the wall, under makes sense because it isn't hanging out. Other American super sized bathrooms you have to reach to get the paper it makes sense to be over.

Lol I'll probably buy it and put on my bookshelf with all the others.

Great I thought I'll take a look. Three volumes each over 1000 pages? Any other suggestions? Did you mean all 3 books?

Wow never heard of it before. The biggest problem is Excel and text editors rule the small data world.

We should rename SV to Social Media Valley :)

> I maintain a file of headhunters that I have come in contact with.

Its definitely good to keep in touch with a list of people like this. I think you'd be better off to ask your friends for recommended people. Most recruiters that randomly contact you are crap.

I usually work many years at the same job. I think its worth talking to agents and applying for jobs each year even if you wont move, its a good way to keep track of the market and realize where you're behind, before you need to look.

It depends on which state you are in, but if you have a non-recourse loan and bought the house with a small deposit which you can lose, it might be a good strategy just to stop paying the mortgage until you get repossessed. In many states it takes a long time even when things are normal. In 2008 many people got to live in their house for years without paying. You'll screw up your credit and probably lose your equity but might be worth it. Do some research.

Agreed, isn't this what bookmarks are for? BTW I always use bookmark toolbar, maybe this is similar to keeping tabs.

no

The crazy thing is for most of the world people use Windows and SAP and firewalled intranets and no external email. Apple laptops and free access to the internet and SV culture is a tiny minority of what the world's computing looks like.

I worked on a derivatives system for a bank where we had a few thousand servers globally running distributed calculations. We chose C# over Java as it was more powerful at the time. Windows server was rock solid throughout, it also had the benefit of being integrated with Windows security. Now Linux you can run dotnet applications OK we'd probably choose that because its cheaper not because its better. Most server applications you just need a bare OS and run a process, it doesn't need much.

Any reason why they would continue to hire American Developers? Our shops in Moscow and Bangalore probably have better developers than our US office at <10% of the salary.
