I think they now offer one extra domain per user and same space, which I think was not the case earlier (I could be wrong here).

I was about to move from Google to Fastmail (been looking to move away from Google for a while) and then I read your comment. Now rethinking the decision.

That would then include a lot of comedians and many legends. George Carlin comes to mind, to begin with. I do not agree with - you are X so you do X only.

Sounds exciting. I want to know how to make a switch, if one can. I am in the same position (mostly webdev) as the gp. I do understand that "systems programming" is very broad.

Can someone explain to me why is it wrong (cynical) to think they didn't have this capability all along?

I am not sure but I doubt that most people would be able to find a job where you get to work with the most amazing people with skills you do not possess (or are not good at). I can certainly see how you can be the quietest but how does one get hired at a place where you know less then what they already do or are much better?

Vive le france!

> You will need a visa to work in the UK.

Does that mean you won't file for the visa and one has to get the visa on their own?

But if I felt contagious-but-not-really-impaired, just sneezing or whatnot, I don't see any reason personally why ...

Also, possibly save your coworkers from the infection. I'd rather have my coworkers take a WFH than come in if they feel low.

In my case, a 502 means you're going to spend a long time at work fixing that.

Is there any such thing as part-time freelancing? I have weekends and 2-3 hours a day that I can give. In total, I believe I can give about 20 hours for sure but I am not sure if that's something people like. What are your views on this?

dump or upload an entire DB backup from a file (have to use another app for that)

What's the other app that you use?

Not just OSX, it is also just for one single version of OSX (Yosemite) so far.

Is Apple not collecting any user data?

I think one thing that will greatly help mobile experience for me is to add a reddit-style collapse comment section toggler. On mobile devices (and in some cases on desktops), it will help reach the lower comments easily without having to scroll a lot.

I am not sure why you were downvoted. I'd think it is in Apple's vested interest to actually not treat the older hardware so you buy new one. I am no talking about really old hardware. Example: I have seen my iPhone 5S get substantially slower after update to ios 8+.

In Python world deployment is still not as easy as dropping a jar in a container. Right?

Thanks. I did not about Lanyrd. (http://lanyrd.com/)

I am suprised that there is no such thing. Not even a curated web page. Or maybe my Google-fu is not as good.

I am very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.

Companies like TCS and Infosys bring cheap labor mostly on L1 and not on H1. Most of the H1's I know are US graduates and majority are MS/PhD in CS. It is the L1 visa that allows a company to bring in cheap labor because the limitation on minimum salary by the DoL is not as stringent as H1. For H1 visa, a company has to file for labor certification with DoL and they decide what the minimum prevailing wage for a particular zip code, the skillset and the experience is. [1]

Having said above I agree that the H1 visa IS being abused but the main issue is L1, not H1. there was about 20% abuse a few years ago and there was a huge crackdown by the USCIS and DoL on those doing that.

I believe there is legal precedent that you can't be prosecuted for downloading something from a site like TPB, only from uploading to others

I did not know that's the case. Do you have a source to confirm this?

I have become so cynical and scared that I usually do not even click on such websites and links. Can the US police arrest you to visit just the web page and search on it?

I wonder how it is back? Aren't Sunde et. al. in jail for this?

Vaccines build herd-immunity which is very important.

I think the government Internet providers (MTNL etc.) have already blocked it. I cannot access github without VPN.

I am not sure if I get the reference or the story. Are you saying that Google leaked those emails somehow?

Edit: Do you pay for headspace or just use their 10 minute? I just signed up.

Thanks for the book suggestion, I just bought this book.
