Luckily, there are also all those shady eBay “key resellers”. (They are all cracked of course, but they also work, so it’s worth it.)
I remember that in order to get my passwords from Chrome to Firefox on macOS, I needed to install a virtual machine with Windows, and log in to Chrome and Firefox there.
There are good ones and terrible ones.
The business model doesn’t seem to make sense to me either.
And don’t give me duckduckgo, that one regularly ranks spam domains and typo domains higher than the real results
Booking Group websites (booking.com and agoda) are still doing great in 2019 as the article states, because they don’t suck
But I have never run Windows Server
Be right back, solving some Windows backslash and CRLF issues.
One is that JavaScript is bad. It’s true, but strongly typed languages built on top of JS improve it immensely. Most people today use TypeScript, I used to use Flowtype but the history went the other way, oh well. So that part is being fixed.
The other part is the package management, and the ecosystem, and that’s almost independent on JavaScript the language. And well, the situation there sucks so much that I needed to escape to backend world, since I don’t want to deal with broken webpack plugins anymore.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s also broken in python and golang (my current languages), but people at least ADMIT it’s a problem, and in golang folks try to fix the vendor/ mess with modules. (Python... ugh.)
I wish the npm mess was getting better, but while yarn at least solved some sub-problem, the whole thing doesn’t get better. Back to golang I go, I feel happy here.
(Well unless I have to copy paste Apply for the 30th time.)
There is much more freedom of speech than in China, or compared to other SEA countries (maybe except for Thailand, but that has a military coup every 2 years in average).
There is no censorship of foreign media, internet is basically free. You can say whatever you want and nobody cares, people complain about party and officials on Facebook constantly.
On the other hand, they keep arresting people for public protests (google “formosa protests vietnam”), for crazy numbers of years (10, 20 years for protesting). And there are rumors censorship of internet is coming - they made a new law just this January that will allow them to censor Facebook or Google unless they host data here and give data about citizens to the government. It is a question how will they proceed; the party is similarly opaque to Chinese party.
All in all though, it’s around better than other countries in region on average or China but worse than Europe, US, or even Taiwan
You can complain about Party, but once you start actually organizing protests, they will come knocking. But since the economy is growing so crazy, people are generally happy.
and of course as a white expat you are put on a pedestal here and a bit untouchable. It’s bad but that’s how it is.
Which leads me to think they are not actually PR professionals (they would actually not talk in such a robotic way), but really low level employees that are paid extra to talk good on social media, and are repeating from some officially sanctioned book of “what you should and shouldn’t say”
they don’t sound like Borg, they sound like McDonald’s cashiers, just doing their assignments
When a company switches from their own e-mail server to hosted Google Mail, their uptime improves.
However, from what I read some time ago, it’s actually connected to Pirate Bay, and when Pirate Bay used to be down, OpenBitTorrent was also down.
