"wibbly wobbly system which needs thousands of marketing companies which maybe fulfill their corporate promise" I am afraid that's not how it works. This is not how the government …

Yup. Here's the thing too. When people troll online, they think hiding behind an alias is enough. You can still be traced back. I am sure the government keep tabs of all your histo…

i bought an iphone 7 specifically because it protected user's privacy a bit more than android phones. so i wouldn't say they don't matter at all. to some people they do.

I just bought an xps 15 running arch linux to replace my mba 13. The build quality is poorer for sure. My main complains. Keyboard: - Cheap plastic that doesn't feel nice to type f…

Pressure is given by yourself. As long as your are happy with what you learnt, then it's all fine. I am in a similar boat, but I have a lot less pressure because I saved enough and…

Quitting your job isn't the problem. It's takes courage to do what you do. The problem is coding boot camps. They promise things they can't deliver. As a programmer I can tell you …

I don't know about you guys, but I am quite sick of these messaging apps that don't really provide any added-value over their competitors. Moreover, these message apps are not dece…
