    In fact, this is an opportunity to anticipate what is going to be written. I studied maths, so I am not sure how it would work for other fields of study. But one thing that worked …

    I am Italian and at my previous work at a bank, I had a two month notice (originally one, but increased with seniority). As far as I know, it is pretty common in Italy, and employe…

    I was going to write the same thing. I checked the first three problems and all solutions are partial at best. Now, don't get me wrong, this is still impressive. But putting the pr…

    How complex is it to configure? I have an instance of NextCloud from Hetzner, but I would rather not misconfigure it. Also, is there a mobile app? Most of the time when I look at p…

    For what is worth, I do appreciate their links, and their resources are pretty informative (I am not by any means affiliated with Pinecone)
