This drove me absolutely crazy as well and I was equally shocked that anyone thought it was a good idea. Ended up going through several rounds of password resets before figuring it out. Further reinforced the perception…
This has been bugging me as well for years. Only found an app called Sharedr recently which replaces the sharing dialog. It's not perfect and has a limitation with sharing files, but it's a million times better than the…
Another happy PushBullet user here. Extremely useful for receiving text messages from my phone while on my laptop, especially for web apps that insist on sending security codes that way instead of TOTP. This sort of…
Same here. I wish everyone company with a subscription based licensing model did it this way. It should be noted though, when Jetbrains initially decided to move to this type of licensing, it was a bit different and…
You're not alone. My kids are 4 and 9, and I've got a similar experience. Used to try and take on freelance work, but after missing some commitments, I've stopped doing that now as I don't have the time or energy for…
John Resig does deserve a lot of credit for his work on jQuery and at Khan Academy. Small correction though, he wasn't a founder of Khan Academy. It was started in 2008 by Sal Khan, and Resig joined later in 2011.
Might not necessarily mean they are _physically_ stranded. Booking holidays often means scheduling time off work, around children's school holidays, when prices are reasonable, etc. Not always a trivial task. Having…
Looks good, though no category for .NET? Would've thought that would be an in-demand skill in London.
Female genital mutilation doesn't actually have anything to do with Islam, as Reza Aslan points out in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV0QXO6YfzA
I was a freelancer for nearly 6 years, but eventually got tired of the inconsistent income and the type of work I was doing also got boring, as well as time and energy spent dealing with issues like invoices, taxes,…
I'm also wondering the same thing. This new trend of putting a create button in the bottom right of the screen seems counter intuitive and annoying. Fortunately, both the Mint and Reddit apps allow it to be turned off,…
Most important takeaway about salary negotiation, by the way: disclosing a previous salary is almost always against your interests because it pegs your new salary to that plus 5% rather than your value to the new firm…
Yeah, I agree with this. Been contemplating whether to invest time in learning RoR for a while now, though I've also been using ASP.NET for over a decade now, and leaving the Microsoft ecosystem would be a drastic…
I'm not sure I that I agree with this. I've worked on plenty of projects utilizing ASP.NET during my days as a freelancer where I was the only developer. However, it might be that this is primarily a perception problem,…
Absolutely. Usually read the comments first, before the linked article. There's nearly always an interesting discussion going on.
It's a pity there aren't more Senior .NET developer positions for remote workers. The vast majority of them seem to be for Ruby on Rails.
I've had similar problems with pain and discomfort when using a mouse. Was using an Evoluent Vertical Mouse for about a year, which helped, until the left clicker started playing up. Replaced this with an Anker vertical…
Asking me to enter my Amazon username and password makes this a complete non-starter. Might be the best idea in the world, but I'm not going to risk handing over my credentials for something as sensitive as my Amazon…
Thanks for the link. That's a fascinating read. Being a Muslim man, I've been stopped and questioned by CBP numerous times when entering the US. It's interesting how they they always seem to ask the same types of…
Any plans to add .NET to the type of leads?
As justinreeves said, I choose to give that information to Facebook. It's absurd having to share all of this information to Tinkercoin so they can supposedly verify my identity to allow me to purchase $20 worth of BTC,…
"Tinkercoin will receive the following info: your public profile, friend list, email address, work history, status updates, education history, hometown and current city." No thanks.
Not Fox "News" I hope ;-)
My thoughts exactly. I'm certainly going to be looking at other options, including BitTorrent Sync. As useful as Dropbox may be, it's something I'd be willing to do without if this is true.
Lol, true, true. Everyone who buys one of these things will end up sending them to a landfill soon enough.
