If you want to reduce you intake of animal produce but still have fatty meals your choices are limited. Avocado, olives, nuts and some oils are exploding in popularity due to this I believe.

I have seen this first-hand before. Corps with good salaries but no public ranges. Every time they have to hire out of core competencies and the local market is not too strong for the roles, it can take up to a year for the whole process.

Even smaller ones are not immune. I found myself in the same situation in Cambridge and Venice. Cambridge one was very, very sketchy.

You totally can. I have seen people living in them for months. To learn a language, or in party hostels to enjoy the summer. When I was young spending a few weeks in a hostel was my favorite way to spend time between house hunting in a new city.

I think I know who you are talking about. He was unfailingly polite with me, but it was very clear that he was not very interested too. I also was coming back from a semi-academic position.

Do not be very hard on you (or him). Every job opening I interview candidates for we receive piles and piles of academia refugees, mostly postgrads fleeing their postdocs. They tend to know very little about software (or domain knowledge of our field) but they will try anything: junior, senior and even managerial roles. Signal to noise tends to be very low, so any competitive places ignore most of them. It is a problem for competent people in this life situation, because they get ignored too.

This is fascinating to me. Is there any particular kind of profile that hired you as a ghostwriter? Do these people know how to do their work and decide to outsource it or they have no clue and just got lucky in the interviews?

Works like a charm, thank you.

This is something that I never learnt how to do with Xterm, I put the keybinding in Bash:

bind -x '"\C-T": _terminal_here'

I would love to know how to execute a command from Xterm directly, I am sure that it is possible.

> I know xterm is the slowest of the bunch, but it always works with minimal putzing.

I though that Xterm was the fastest in terms of latency and configured adequately, pretty going dealing with big amounts of text:

Xterm*fastScroll: true

I am really grateful for Xterm, it is a great default for all my machines.

What do you mean by scrollbar? Xterm has a scrollbar, and you can customize it with plenty of options.

Tabs I agree that it may be a showstopper for some, however in X you can use suckless tabbed to add support:

For some of us, we just want the fastest terminal out there (in latency and startup), because everything else will be taken care by the window manager or Tmux.

Cannot you that with Xterm too?

XTerm*fastScroll: true

I started web dev in 2012 with a MEAN stack. Now I work with a LAMP stack. I deal with far less migrations and dead packages, but that's probably because Node.js was not very mature back then.

The real question is why someone like me should pitch JavaScript to my Django/Flask shop instead of technology with clearer competitive advantages: Elixir/Rust/whatever.

If I want better CPU usage I can get halfway there it with FastAPI and other Python frameworks.

Exactly.

You end up cobbling together half a dozen plugins (auth, forms, orm, admin) and adding dependencies that, albeit useful, are complex themselves: Celery, SQLAlchemy, etc.

Prioritize games without grinding or fluff. Short games or skill based. Start with games that can be finished in an day or afternoon: Mirror's Edge 1, Braid, Machinarium, Hotline Miami 1...

And if you do not enjoy games anymore, that's fine. Plenty of things to do in the world.

For me this does not work anymore. What I do is redirecting the domain to the Wayback Machine.

I am not 100% sure that people got over it. Facebook lost me over changes to their feed:

1. Linear to non-linear

2. You need to pay to reach all your subscribers.

3. News, ads, noise in general.

I think is very common for free apps to reduce the user experience quality after they reach a certain size. Quora lost me in a similar way.

My personal laptop has 4Gb of RAM and terrible CPU (HP Stream 14). I only need more when I run an IDE or HD video.

For lots of cases, 1Gb-2Gb of RAM and some computing power is more than enough.

I use Stow, it is simple and only does a few things, but for a lot of users like me it is more than enough:

1. Probably it will not receive more features any time soon.

2. You can have several configurations and mix them, also it makes very easy to adopt changes from the current system and/or rollback changes.

3. No, it is not programmable, but you can have several folder for different systems and configurations. I for example have a folder called unix for all *nix systems, other called x11 for x11 programs, darwin for macOS, etc. You could do the same with roles.

If you want really fine grained control over machine/user/role, it is not enough, and it does not take into account package managing at all.

I use a mix of Stow/Ansible for Desktops and HashiCorp/Ansible for the `cattle`. Nix is more powerful than my setting, but I still need to evaluate if it is flexible enough for the orgs I work with.

And in Germany, Spain, etc. Plenty of places.

> The UK follows the Bologna process and bachelor degrees are 3 years, masters 1, PhDs are 3 years.

That is not true for every European country. In lots of them bachelors last 4 years, and some degrees just morphed their old plans in undergrad+masters as a way to keep them longer (5-6 years). As far as I know, placements years are unusual too.

You also does not need a master to get a PhD in the UK. I have met plenty of 23-24 year olds with PhDs there.

And again, the biggest problem is than most teachers cannot fail more than a small percentage of their students, even if they are absolutely terrible.

> I'm not, Oxford and Cambridge are always in the top 5 universities in the world don't see how you can argue they are not.

Even if Oxford/Cambridge/Imperial have excellent undergrad courses (as I am sure they have good PhD courses), that does not change the reality of the other 200. At some point, by the way, I was doing a PhD in a top 4 UK university. And I can tell you that the quality of undergrad courses I saw was questonable at best.

> the UK has some of the best universities in the world

Let's not confuse leading research groups with general education quality. UK undergrad and PhD courses are short and their funding model makes difficult for universities to fail students (this is similar to what happens with master degrees all over the world).

I was not even programming at 20, let alone working as a Professor.

Poland and Hungary are catching up with western countries. But they are starting with the poorest ones, like Portugal.

If you are using Linux put the (ttf) fonts in ~/.local/share/fonts/TTF/ instead.

I could not delete my Discord account, for example, even talking with them several times by mail.

If we are talking about content you can find plenty of advice here or elsewhere. But do yourself a favor and pay a tutor and/or find a study group. As in writing, dancing, etc. you cannot evaluate your own work good enough.

You will not improve your math watching youtube videos and reading books. You need to produce stuff that pass the "sniff test" to your colleagues.

For me writing is too slow. I carry a tape recorder and every couple of months I transcribe the ideas that I consider worth my time.

Lots of things sound stupid in retrospect.

There might be some problem with your certificates, I am getting:

NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

You would be surprised how hard is and how many years takes to be a good cabinetmaker.
