I have never dealt with HR and came away happy or less stressed.

With all of the annoyances that Safari ios provides, I genuinely consider it the spiritual successor to IE.

Also thank you! I went with Mullvad and it has been good!

Just to catch up, thank you, I used mullvad and been happy. Connecting to Germany or Netherlands is no problem for speed.

Do you have any recommendations for VPN providers?

Is there anything I can do about this as a citizen to protect my privacy?
Nailgun | 5 years ago | on: My bank sent me 64 copies of the same debit card
Shouldn't that be taken care of? I just mean I made terrible Flash Games once and learned that on the first week of the job. I actually still see this on payment gateways with banks. "IF SOMETHING DOESNT HAPPEN IN 60 SECS DON'T TRY AGAIN UNTIL YOU CHECK PAYMENT WAS NOT TAKEN".
Nailgun | 5 years ago | on: The Importance of Learning CSS
I am totally feeling this!
Especially your last point. I want to do something with B, but I break A and C somehow. Or I change A to fix B but all of A breaks down. I google it, and there is a menu of choices. On week 3 the first one worked, on week 6 it all breaks down, so I go back to A and C, but it breaks A again.
I am really lazy with this.
I feel like no one knows CSS properly, whereas for my previous listed technologies, you can learn it without the "shotgun" approach.
I have always known I am missing something but never been able to put my hand on what that lightbulb is.
Edit! Also due to the "menu" effect, when I do put my trust in someone, it doesn't actually apply. Like an OOP programmer using global constants everywhere! So what I learned was actually incorrect, but now I am polluted by garbage...
Nailgun | 5 years ago | on: The Importance of Learning CSS
I got into Javascript, the DOM, SVG, Canvas, WebGL but never CSS. I genuinely hate it with a passion. It is just one of those things that always annoy me and can't really explain why. I came from the Flash Runtime a long time ago where I used to easily control the display list. It might be that.

I had been letting reading slip this year, and went to see what Bill Gates was doing (his reading list has been reasonable).
So this comes at a perfect time for me. Thank you for sharing. I will certainly be going through your stem list.

Go "inconito". I think something I had filled the date to make me too young. It's ridiculous that entering drop down fields proves your age.

Ha this always made me laugh since 96.

Nailgun | 5 years ago | on: Mars becomes the 2nd planet that has more computers running Linux than Windows
I agree, I can't remember the last time windows crashed. My home PC is a 2014 low-budget build and I don't recall any blue screens of death or freezes.
I often wonder if people run Windows on a potato to account for all the crashes people seem to have.

Nailgun | 5 years ago | on: How to lower the price of plant-based meat
Are there any commercial products and has anyone tried it? I do recall some video somewhere of a US restaurant and people said it was reasonable but that could have been plant based.
