The diagrams at "check your understanding" sections are great.

Here are plans from the argentinian governent.

I don' know where are you from, but be advised that construction techniques that we use are mostly brick based with reinforced concrete structure.

There is a new response from Jason Evangelho about this:

-Our top 3 donors last year gave 3000 EUR, 2500 EUR, and several that gave 1000 (in both Euros and US dollars)

-We had ~76 donations last year that were $500 USD equivalent or above (these were made by individuals or small businesses that use Thunderbird, and totals less than 1% of donations)

-Donations higher than $100 USD (or equivalent) were only 5% of total donations.

-43% of donations in 2022 were between $5 – $20 USD.

In our view, we don’t have mega-donors. We have normal, awesome people

I was getting a 404 error. Apparently, because the site redirects me to a non-existent localized version of the page. You can bypass this by forcing English in the URL https://www.uber.com/en-US/blog/devpod-improving-developer-p...

Probably.

In Postgres, WITH queries are not "optimizer fences" since version 12 [0].

But I discovered many other usefull features/tips.

I'm a 34 years old father living in a smal but beautiful town. Thirteen yeas of experience as an administrative clerk and three as professional developer in the same org. Attended three years of Systems Engineering. First time writing a CV. Love to work as the wildcard guy, and focus in solving the problem, regardles the size of the project, the sponsor, or the tool. I find making people happy easing his daily work very rewarding. Bonus if I can learn new things.

Some of my work:

- Setup an openvpn server and several clients. Finding out with the user how to do homeoffice with high latency network.

- Optimize dozens of SQL query written over 15 years.

- Make an arduino based scale, with auto logging capabilities and powered/managed from an Android app.

- Working in a web based invoice system (AngularJS, Symfony 2.8, Postgresql) as a solo dev, but teaming with several accountants to interpret our complicated tax system and translate legal text to programs and business rules.

- Improve a wifi network installing APs, setting up vlans and configuring routers monitoring/filter capabilities.

- User support for a 80 employee company, helping with Excel, Outlook, printers, loose wires, bad internet connections, and people's bad days. Always (well, usually) trying to make them smile (maybe the next time they will make the same for me).

- Maintain web and mail servers (Apache, NGINX, Postfix).

- Improve an 20 years old, no support, web based vbscript ERP. Adding features and fixing administrative circuits (meaning talking/convincing people of a wide age range).

- Contributing in an open source Gps-tracking Andoid app.

- Experience with integrations (webservice and txts -I know, not exciting at all- of government agencies and banks).

- Various automations scripts (bat, bash, powershell) and web scrappers (php, puppeteer, regex).

- University or side projects to taste some tech in: QuickBasic, Pascal, Smalltalk, wxPHP, Java/TS (Play! framework, Jhipster) and C#.

I’m eager to work in a remote team as a part time Jr. dev. Not experience at all, but willing/wanting to learn new things and work hard to earn my place.

Related discussion [1] about using Rotor ships [2] and the Magnus effect [3] to reduce carbon emissions and shipping costs. IMHO a much more interesting tech/physics phenomenon :)

Im using this add on on Firefox for Android: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/text-reflow-w.... Maybe it can help you. Be aware it's not perfect: >This add-on is my attempt to provide the "reflow" option for text in Firefox Android. Warning: It is very limited. It will only reflow one paragraph at a time. You will have to tap/click on every single paragraph that you want to reflow.

keep your hands on the keyboard

It is probably a question of generation, but young people do not want to use the keyboard and do not value the agility that can be achieved. Not so long ago, I spent some time adding keyboard shortcuts to an ERP written in Angular, just to realize that only ~ 30% of users (those who had used the old DOS-based ERP) saw value in that requirement.

Good tip. I recently did some research on email with free custom domain (well, really just googling and visit the first results) and did not know about them.

So for the moment I'm using zoho.com.

It's really sad how we lost control of our data.

I always refused to inform my phone number to facebook. But they definitely try to guess it . It's funny how sometimes the FB app ask me "is xxxx xxxx your number?" Well, luckily it still has not succeeded.

Once, I grabbed one of those guessed numbers and asked (over SMS) to that unknown person what was his name. It was no surprise when he told me that we have the same name and our surname started with the same letter.

I think now they will stop guessing.

They are both base units of the SI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

Nethogs [1] groups bandwidth usage by process. Very handy. [1] http://nethogs.sourceforge.net/

Does anyone use zpaq[1]? It has compression, deduplication, incremental backup, encryption, backup versioning (unlike bup, with the ability to delete old ones), and its written un C++. But im not sure about performance over network and how its compare with bup or rsync.

My first comment and I get down votes :(

Please don't get me wrong, I was just looking for confirmation of the same error. I love Firefox. Even I never switch to Chrome for common office work. I know microsoft will stop supporting XP, but hopefully Mozlla don't [1]. Unfortunately, in some third world companies (like where I work), IT guys prefer not to change what works until it is absolutely necessary.

Sorry for my English. PS: I'm not that IT gut.

Windowx XP give me the blue screen of death, with Firefox 25.0.1
