Yeah I hope that music, art, nature, sports etc. are non financial reasons to do things, get out of the house and interact with people.

I actually had the experience of using meaningful identifiers in a previous company. At that time it was really handy in a lot of day to day stuff, but I'm now thinking we might not have used them long enough to have run into the problems described here.

Yeah, I've also been using screen for years without ever feeling the need to switch to tmux. Although remote ssh work is relatively rare for me (eg a couple times per month)

I will try this, recently mine got truncated (don't know why) and it's super annoying.

Surprisingly if you put it to 20 meters the effect globally seem insignificant. Although 80% of my own country would be flooded, so that's not great.

Have you tried to buy a new GPU recently? :P

Yeah a friend of mine had that. Almost drove away in the wrong car, luckily he noticed "weird CDs" lying around.

Efficiently using multi-select to edit multiple lines simultaneously (e.g. cmd-d in Atom)

Oh my god! Who in its right mind comes up with this? The boilerplate is 10x the size of the actual code :'(

I've been using Atom for a few years, with a few Python plugins it works really nicely!

I still think for very small stuff it's easier to just write a shell script. For instance a docker entry point, where you set a few env vars, download some required files and start your main application.

And the public transport bikes you can hire for a couple of euro per 24hr are very popular. This way you can do the last part of your journey easily without taking you're own bike on the train. (This is actually cheaper as well, since the price of renting the bike is lower than the price of bringing your own bike on the train)

I’ve spend 10 minutes on this and still have no clue what it actually does. Seems to be focussed on beginners with very trivial and general tips on Git and terminal commands.

Yeah,Epic Spell Wars is awesome!

Would be interesting if they would give examples of ICOs or other crypto related investments which turned out to be Ponzi schemes or fraud.

I totally agree, I have a few shortcuts in my GCE dashboard, but I seem to always forget which one is which. For instance logs, DNS and storage have super similar icons.

"Keep off grass" :D

Blendle Data Scientist here (living said dream). I'd like to mention that users do have influence on what is done with their data. We currently provide two ways of determining what data is collected, one setting (which is switched on by default) makes us collect data for internal usage. Switching this off will make us stop sending analytics events from the frontend and we will stop aggregating your data into a profile used for personalization. Note that these profiles are currently being developed and are not yet in use anywhere and once they will there only use case will be making Blendle better for its users. The other setting is switched off by default and allows us to share some data with one specific publisher (which is very clearly mentioned).

Looks nice, but skimming through it I saw loads of typos. Makes you wonder how much effort was put into this.

Ok, if you are indeed asking the same questions that helps. I would add some information per item with some explanation or definition, so it is as clear as possible what is meant by the different terms.

So instead of the ambiguous text 'Software Engineer' we now have 10 ambiguous texts ranging from 'Analysis' to 'Data Science'. I don't really see how that solves a problem, since these underlying concepts are also quite hard to define consistently.

Looking at the url, it seems they don't want someone to accidentely delete the article!

Neverwet? Soylent?

This picture shows quite nicely what might happen when having too many parameters (or too little data):

For those too lazy to learn the right shell commands ;)

That is quite a long TTL!
