Technicalities aside, TS is being pushed by MSFT in their SaaS custom components, and that right there will keep it relevant a while. MSFT is known for changing names a lot, but not for killing technologies.

After over 5 years of writing TS, I have had to do plain JS sometimes, and it is scary. It feels like walking blindfold. I'm spoiled.

Nothing wrong with it if you just ignore the spam and karmawhore social feed. I use it for visibility, so employers can find me if they wish. My current job was from a LinkedIn search from my employer. I get around 2 or 3 legit offers a month.

Spain here. Because calling and messaging (sms/mms) were quite expensive. And still are.

It was somewhere around 2010 when my wife was explaining how one of her coworkers used this application to send messages for free. We installed it and it caught on like fire mouth to mouth. People changed their phones to smartphones just to join the bandwagon. It was wild.

First, decide if you want to burn the bridge and if doing something weird could be betraying the colleague that gave you the information.

Then, being somewhat creative I think you could craft a fake resingment letter and show it to key workers but don't sign it. Let them spill the beans. Depending on your contract it could mean big savings for the employer and it could mess up their strategy.

In any case, make sure to resolve any pending issues and get ready for the news.

Baldwin is old enough to remember what happened to Brandon Lee. Add several workers leaving for safety reasons and it makes Baldwin the Producer and decision taker, responsable for turning a blind eye on all the security violations.

He was the one gambling and taking a chance, as always, for a bigger profit.

Gutierrez-Reed was unprofessional and ignored many safety procedures and is very responsible also, and should have walked out also... but being young and on your first jobs can be demanding and difficult to say no. What a wake-up call for her.

I recall having the image not found error last time. A mix of creating the USB with another program and tinkering with bios solved the issue. Sorry can't be more specific, but Linux is all about tinkering, so have fun :)

Doritos. My dad brought home some bags from USA and instantly got hooked on that shit. Fast forward a decade and now with money and selling locally, I ate them until I got sick.

Doesn't happen as much, but family and non tech friends would present me to other people that "worked with computers" thinking I could take new job opportunities. They were always wildly unrelated to my field.

I know I know,.. they acted in good faith, and probably could have adapted a bit, but like 30 years ago there was a lot of overlap and systems where somewhat similar, but now somebody trained in Linux kernel maintenance isn't going to learn how to create SharePoint SPFx webparts. Development is very specific now!

Yup, 700/700Mb. Also wimax but that only gets up to 25Mb

155.000€ for new 5 bedroom 200+ m2 duplex in my small town in Spain.

No HOAs! supermarkets and schools are in walking distance ;)

Cheapest is around 30K, but why bother?

One line is fine if used wisely, everybody does it for readability. The issue is when you need more than one.
