I still use my System76 Gazelle Pro laptop I bought in 2014. The battery lasts for barely an hour but the machine still works great and is still my daily driver for my personal use…

To an extent, I agree. At the same time, Karen may be in a similarly desperate situation. While the morally correct position would be to stand up to what is obviously wrong, Karen …

Sure, the USA is in the top five in terms of median income. They are also tied for first for having the highest cost of living. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/c…

Tetris-clone in vanilla JS with some interesting game modes I haven't seen before.

https://www.openhab.org/ is a pretty established one (written in Java). Although if you're interested in one that isn't established and is very open to tweaking I've just refactore…

My apologies, I'm in Pittsburgh in the USA and currently making 90k just for front-end work. According to the research I've done, 120k is on the low end for senior devs across the …
