Here's the problem with this game: - Blizzards slew of beloved franchises makes it easy to entrap nostalgia addicted masses to a number of pay to win clones. Or slowly implement th…

Pretty common scenario in tech engineering.

I think inevitably, the labs will make something, "close enough to meat". Then corporations will strip that down to the most cost effective model of that "meat". This will be sold …

Every time I see a job listing with Unlimited PTO, theres always some accompanying verbiage that makes it sound a lot like that unlimited PTO will be unavailable.

Perhaps because there is a metric ton and a US ton.

I am unfamiliar with Robin Hobb, but I thoroughly enjoyed this short read. Now I see that she has books and she may have inspired me to get back into reading books.

I usually check the rating. If its 4-5 stars, then I will proceed to reading a few 5 stars, and a few 1 stars. You can usually tell if the reviews are real and this also helps you …

Sure can! I contributed on this project a few months ago. Hoping to use it soon on a project. I implemented a portion of crud with a vuejs app. It's a pretty neat setup. Just autho…

Yeah! Front end apps can skip the server and get data from the db directly. There's OAuth2 setup and you can authorize users to have crud access to tables, or even a granular as ro…

Are startups any better? From what I have seen it's, "work for low wages in a high stress environment, and pray we go public in 5 years".

I enjoy the nihilistic morbid humor here. I too question the futility of my work as I waste away in this cold expanse.

I put 2k in at one point and was up to 40k in a month trading alt coins. Then btc started to tumble. I realized it caused a massive amount of subconcious anxiety. I ended up walkin…

Sort of seems like everyone is going off. When this article doesnt really give any examples. It just says there are lots of examples. I have around 8 gmails. Theyre all connected t…

Full stack engineer Location: Salt Lake City, UT, US Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: Unlikely, but perhaps. Technologies: JavaScript(NodeJS, VueJS, D3JS), MySQL, PHP(Laravel), AWS…

I haven't done much open source contribution, but it seems like we should be able to write some kind of flagging/filter system to check if PR's are quality. One-liners and comment …

After reading a bit, I realized I have misrecalled it. Woops. Thanks for pointing it out! :) The referrence was to the Sun being the center of the solar system, and not the Earth. …

Who gets to decide what is a detriment to society? Going out on a limb here, but at one point everyone thought the world was flat. Preaching that the earth is actually round, was s…

This is awesome. I have taken a number of code challenges and walking away with neither, compensation nor explanation is rough.

This is inspiring. Its amazing that he was able to bust this out for his community. Its mind blowing the amount of perserverance. I really want to break free from my job and build …

If death scares you, I would certainly not recommend eternal life. That, to me, is far more terrifying.

I'm what some would call a gym rat. I have my own home Gym though. Working out has solved a ton of problems for me. Anxiety, Depression, Mood Swings, Rage. You get into a routine, …

The average sedentary individual is way more likely to be dehydrated. Physical exertion is going to deplete both hydration and salts, via sweat. I am a runner and a weight lifter a…

I have been fully employed for years. Though I have sought a less abusive relationship a number of times. Obviously, should my current security evaporate, I would resolve to deal w…

Contract work would work similarly for engineers. Do it on your own time if you have a job. They can ask the current team questions via chat. Get some real code into PRs and prove …

For those wondering, I just accessed and parsed a .FIT file. I plugged my watch's charging cable into a USB port on my Linux rig (works the same for windows). Navigated to GARMIN. …
