> I'd be very happy if some expert could tell me that this is completely worthless. Is Dr. Larry Appel, director of the Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research at…

I'd genuinely like to see what moderate right leaning content is even available for consumption. The only thing anyone seems to talk about anymore is the grifters and lunatics.

Yeah discord and slack are the only places I recognize people anymore. Reddit is a hellhole. I lived on Lemmy for a while and its really just as bad.. maybe worse because you have …

I've been using zshmarks or bashmarks for years now. I couldn't get by without it at this point. https://github.com/huyng/bashmarks https://github.com/jocelynmallon/zshmarks

> I have a leetcode account but I can not force myself to solve puzzles in my free time after solving them all day long at work. And dare I say puzzles at work are more interesting…

Yeah you're not entitled to anything in the States. There are no employment contracts and you can be fired for any reason without notice. The only reason to give severance is to av…

I kinda feel like the comparison between an on-prem vs cloud. For the longest time, big, old companies clung onto their data center spaces. No new start-up would ever dream of that…

My MKII Das Keyboard I bought in 2008 is still my daily driver.. It works flawlessly so why would I replace it? In the same neighborhood, my daily headphones are the wired Beyerdyn…

Ok.

Probably ok for very small startups but it should be a priority to remove this for the first SRE hire.

I wonder how that would be calculated. My salary is comfortably into the six figures but my taxable income is below the $55k threshold.

I basically haven't used an apple product (outside of the ipod) since my powermac circa 2003. I got an iPad pretty much entirely for the pencil and Procreate. Both are wonderful bu…

My career path started in Ops, which evolved into SRE. I never did any formal training of any kind really. I'm entirely self taught. I feel confident in my skillset for the most pa…

I read Bloomberg and listen to their podcast as well. I am often in strong disagreement with the writers or guests being interviewed. Al Jazeera's English broadcast is actually qui…

Could terraform be Zap Brannigan? Overly confident but often trips over its own feet?

Agreed. The Russian central bank did not invade Ukraine but it provided a mechanism to pay for that invasion. Her Patreon account may not have actively promoted disinformation but …

I read an analogy years ago about how stupid the logic behind most promotions in software are. Think about a sports team.. "That guy is our best player! He scores more points than …

Anta is doing exactly this. With major labels refusing to use Xinjiang cotton, Anta has said they have no problem with it and are building an empire based on forced labor.

It's been a few years since I've seriously looked into some of these places so things may have changed or I am not remembering 100% correctly. Also, some countries listed below req…

Pre-covid I bounced but also set myself up to have relatively stable home bases. This includes resident visas in countries that do not require me to spend a lot of time in those sp…

I left the US ~5 years ago after getting a fully remote position. I'd probably quit if they ever told me I had to come back. I miss family and old friends of course but I can't den…

Local to wherever your customers and/or employer are. They can use their normal process for expenditure or payroll or whatever in their accounting software to pay him.

Being understanding to the fact that the CDC is made up of people who are fallible, dealing with an entirely new situation for our species, that information is more often unknown t…

Agreed. Partially completed might be nice if you're tracking someone else's work (subordinates) but for my own, I would need at least one more item saying where I left off or why I…

I think there is a significant amount of companies (and a substantial portion of the government) in the US that operates on a philosophy like "How much can we extract from people b…
