If it's improving, it sure isn't including me. It's been 14 months since getting laid off and all I'm getting are rejection e-mails, scams that say I got a position without any interviews, and recruiters who call/e-mail…
Because there's plenty of other types of parties that don't involve booze or loud music while still presenting an opportunity to start friendships or acquaintanceships. Sometimes they're a simple as a gathering where…
They're not embracing, extending, and extinguishing everything for starters.
They don't have to be funny. They just need to provoke thought in people like any other witty writ about the situation at hand.
A couple of other underappreciated tools I've found in writing stuff are things that help with writers' block and determining what would happen. In my case, the Mythic Game Master Emulator[0] and the Adventure…
Check out Git[0]. Using a version control system is a critical skill in modern software development where you can check a "blame" report on a file's contents to see what last touched that place or to check a log for a…
A Framework laptop. The replaceable extension ports were a godsend at first but since my current configuration was found most effective (2 USB-C ports, 1 USB-A port, 1 HDMI port), that's been static. It's a nice feature…
Probably the cubicle. It doesn't seem as lonely as the private office but gives enough privacy one can more easily have a meeting with the remote/out-of-office people, to pick your nose, or to get work done without…
And I thought I was unique in being sought out like this... They must be hurting pretty bad to be contacting anybody with a pulse about AWS roles.
The AeroPress[0] really is a wonder and a half. The AeroPress Go (more portable) version is perfect for taking to an office if you want a cup or two instead of chugging the whole pot. Definitely seconding the decade-old…
You're likely right. I was remembering having to disassemble old iMacs (pre-2009) for a college job but they were ancient enough to be Torx instead. Not a fan of machines that require a plunger just to get the RAM out…
At least the parts and DIY effort to fix it along with the cost of two pairs of joysticks is equal to the $15/yr service (via Amazon). Not that it justifies the flaw, but that coupled with playing while docked via Pro…

Anecdote, but it seems to be a more common thing in Americans since we tend to idolize the rich and consider wealth equal to success. That's why Bezos, Musk, &c. show up more often than they need to in discussions for…
In other words, it's something like monads: everyone who learns what they are truly capable of suddenly loses any way to put their knowledge into words as they have tapped into the dark and hidden secrets of the…
Ah. Guess I still have some learning to do with how things work here a little differently than elsewhere.

So it's back to the realistic grimdank art style? Aw. And I liked the tricks they pulled in D3 to look beautiful and run smooth on a Switch.
If you want it 98% of the time, try it in a pressure cooker. Egg setting to five minutes instead of three. Bam! You got yourself some hardboiled eggs for your sandwiches, for your toast, for your whatever. Come to think…

Welcome to the Gopher/Gemini mindset, thinking technological restrictions can solve a policy problem.
Same question can go for half of any Wikipedia links here.
There isn't a minimizing button since the idea is that basic apps are generally meant to be ephemeral; that a task should be a quick one-and-done (or so I was told when I asked on IRC years ago). You can add the button…
