The press is partially there to disagree with or at least critique such subjective judgments.

Speaking as a one-time 'high speed internet tech support customer relations specialist' working at a call-center contracted out to Comcast, I was told that it was close to 90%. Tha…

I think OP's point still stands. If the job is done to the same standards (assuming same time frame as well), what other issues does this bring up? An apt comparison might be Jimmy…

I recommend activity-watch[0] if anyone wants a good, open-source, at-a-glance system of tracking for their own computer usage. It's definitely helped me rebuild a memory of my act…

I love mentorship, but I don't feel like I'm in a position to mentor anyone. Learning enough to be able to spread my knowledge (or the beneficial application thereof) is the core r…

What if I just ask pointless hypothetical questions and follow them up with no substance at all?

I've been using joplin for several months now and I'm loving it. The GUI client isn't perfect and there are a couple missng abilities from the iOS app (e.g. duplicate note), but no…
