I've worked for startups and established industry giants and being compliant with GDPR did not stifle us in any way at all. It's really not that hard unless the business model depends on profiting off of user data. No good will come from this for the EU.

Also has an instrument panel the driver can easily see.

I’ve driven a Model 3 and its handling and overall feel was worse than a barebones Honda Civic. I’d say a Model 3 is on par with how a low end Chrysler feels to drive.

This is where I started with Erlang, learned it first then leaned Elixir. I really enjoyed working with Erlang/Elixir & OTP.

I’d agree with previous suggestions, either this book or Joe Armstrong’s.

Are you a US citizen? Do you think you can pass a background check? If military and government projects don't bother you than try looking on clearancejobs.com. From what I've seen a lot of big defense contractors looking for engineers just need you to be a citizen, get a clearance and have a pulse. Smaller firms will expect you to actually be capable and you will probably do a couple things across the stack and some dev-ops too.

Have you looked at any part-time/contract work? Maybe that could keep you afloat and activey coding long enough to get a fulltime job.

How much of a jerk is your boss? - of the 7 bosses I have they combine for a low score of 2. All are nice people.

How chaotic is your environment? 10 - Agile doesn't mean 6 week waterfall sprints. Unit tests aren't something you do manually and infrequently.

What have you done that is illegal or unethical that can be used as grounds for firing you? Everyday I stay past 6:00pm but I'm only allowed to be on the property till 6:00pm.

What are you currently doing? Waiting for an IBM source control tool to finish doing something.

What would you like to do instead? Learning Erlang & Elixir

Well just today I called my wife, neither my mic nor the speaker in my phone were working. I couldn't hear the phone ringing and when she picked up we couldn't communicate. She instead called me and everything started to work. I have no clue where the fault lies and it's concerning because what if I was calling 911?

I have a gel mat that is similar to a kitchen standing mat. I forgot what brand it was but it was less than $35 on Amazon. I stand on that without shoes and it's very comfortable. I have a National Public stool to sit on when I need to give my feet a break.

With Mavericks I was okay connecting to two 30 inch Dell displays. Once Yosemite came out, I would face problems with resolution on the displays switching or even better I would be forcibly logged out. So I gave up on dual monitors for a while until recently but now I face CPU usage issues.

From the article linked above it seems like people at Sony were exploiting the security budget, they had eight managers for three analysts: ”documents leaked after the recent attack show the company had just 11 people assigned to its information security team: ‘Three information security analysts are overseen by three managers, three directors, one executive director and one senior-vice president.’”

I host my own Fever[1] service on nearlyfreespeech.net. Fever has a UI to access feeds and some apps, like Reeder on iOS, can pull from Fever accounts. I've had my Fever service running a few weeks before Google announced Reader was going away. I haven't had any problems with Fever.It costs me a total of $2 to $1 per month to host. Setting it up was very easy and the instructions are very detailed.

I'm with you. Helvetica Neue in the screenshots looks like placeholder text, waiting for some better typeface to be applied.
