What about for a whole family of iPhone users? I've got the 2TB cloud plan which my elderly parents are on, my kids are on and me and my wife are on which is letting us get away wi…

I think the writer just suffers a huge case of imposter syndrome! Most seemingly 'smart' and 'talented' people are just people who know that 'Hard work beats talent when talent fai…

> Nope. Now I'm just a shitty business person and a shitty dev. Forcing myself to do the actual work of talking to customers now. This level of humility will take you far. You will…

Thanks for sharing publicly. May I ask if the Caduet has any side effects? I'm going through a similar issue. I know that my problem is alcohol, being overweight and middle age (40…

Today I learnt I'm fucking old. My first web programming exposure was Perl CGI scripts

I would imagine in the southern states where it's 40 degrees C+ every day for 3 months-4 months or more on end the heatpump (aka reverse cycle a/c) is basically kept on constantly.…

I'm from Australia and I was blown away by a run of the mill H-E-B supermarket in 2022. The size, scale, selection was quadruple what I'm used to at home. A co-founder took me to w…

I just had to quit Reddit this weekend. Deleted the app off my phone, edited my hosts file on my computer to send it to 127.0.0.1 along with a whole bunch of mass media sites. I no…

Too much of what you pay goes to the rentier that owns the premises. Inflation of ingredients, inflation of wages, inflation of utilities. It all adds up. Something gets squeezed, …

Yes it does. I don't journal every day, I keep each year to about 40-50 A4 pages and I won't write down all the banal stuff. The value lies in the fact that I will usually look at …

I have been journaling for 9 years now. Actually closer to 12 but we'll discount the first 3 years because it was done haphazardly handwritten in notebooks in fits and bursts. Repe…

Man that is so true about 35. I would say it's not about your prime but more about the fact it is the point where you have gained enough experience/wisdom but still retain enough r…

Where I live we have 'council clean-up' days. It's a designated day once per year you can leave a reasonable amount of rubbish outside your house including old furniture, tools, ut…

I think that Atlassian's core issues stem from the CEO who is more interested in activities outside the company. The lack of vision starts from the top and flows down through the r…

My engineering team runs off Github Issues > Projects > Project Boards but it's been hard to get anyone outside of product managers and devs themselves to be fully immersed in it. …

Thank you for writing this. It resonated deeply with me, I spent 2 years in the SFBA and left in the end because I had this nagging feeling that something wasn't right but could no…

This comment deserves to be higher. People just think you can put these anywhere but you need water connection, sewer connection, electrical, telephone line/cable, permits and red …

If I was a sailor I'd rather go around the Cape of Good Hope than deal with this.

I came here to find your comment. All the vivid dreams I have are either 1) resitting an exam from 20 years ago and being completely unprepared for it or 2) running around in an en…

They have a virtual monopoly on the corporate market. At the peak times of Monday morning and Friday evening seats can go for A$300-$A400 or more one way for an economy class seat …

> I have had way too many evenings after I get the kids in bed where I think, "I'll just unwind on my phone for a few minutes and then work on something." There's a hack for this w…

A lot of people who get seduced to work in startupville should heed this guy. The cost is not only the difference in pay for the years you are working in startups but the fact that…

Thanks for posting that. It's amazing how accessible the english language was (190 years ago) to a reader today. Spelling and vocabulary are pretty much the same. Compare that with…

One of the points missed here in the discussion thread is that over and above ethical/moral animal wellbeing concerns we need this as quickly as possible because antibiotic use in …

Yeah but you need to understand it's not the actual coding they sell, it's the 'online business consulting' which brings in the moolah
