I was looking into just getting a 3060 Ti for starting on my main CPU, do you recommend that or going for whatever gets a bigger hashing rate in one unit like the 3080 or 90 it seems, they are hard to get!

Thanks!

Domain it's letsdeel.com, they act as intermediaries and you invoice through them..

I've worked for american startups, and the contract/invoicing was through them

remote.com is another such similar service.

I got some wisdom! Funny bug though

You're right, only hides it from home screen. Good thing is UE recently passed some legislation regarding this, so it might be there in the future at least for European users! yay?

They seem like a very bright team capable of tackling it to me. Alfred was cool 10, or like 5y ago, but like last time I got into packal (alfred community marketplace) it was all errors over the place, which didn't inspire much confidence to a casual user...

I don't know, I just like what they're doing, The new Extensions api looks really powerful. I ported an alfred script to raycast in like 2min...

YMMV

I don't care about the paid/team offerings honestly, I use it myself, my teammates can use whatever they want. But hopefully they will have enough enterprise customers to make the company thrive

Would you people gift something like an expensive cruise travel package in a gift card?

If you want all this and some more without setting it up yourself, oh-my-zsh spaceship prompt theme is great...

I don't feel at home at a terminal without it by now, so one of my first installs after brew ;-)

Marketing. Good (looking) design. Money for patents and more marketing.

I had one at some time in my life, it was OK but not life changing to cost 10x what a normal regular vacuum would cost.

It's just like any luxury item mostly flexing and status signaling through purchasing stuff, or so it seems to me

Can vouch for both apps! They're great for offline mode.

No but he peddled brexit and then moved production to singapore... You might default to not trusting a guy who does that...

Well ageism is a bitch in our sector, but you certainly have to have in mind that maybe for the same reason past-entrepreneurs are frowned upon, if they know you don't need the money, they know they can't force you to do stuff you don't want...

It's a bit like when they want to know if you've family/responsabilities, I doubt it is to pay you a salary going with those, but more to gauge if you'll be a good slave or not...

Anyways, if I was in your position, I would do whatever I want, but without working for a company anyways, is not fuck you money (or attitude) at leaat, if you still have to obey the boss on all the bullshit right?

Best of luck!

PS: Oh now I saw your username, I've read you a lot arund here Chris, I think you're doing great with your own libraries/iOS stuff, I don't see why you might need to apply to a company, maybe you should start yours instead. You would make a good leader

react-testing-library also emphasises this albeit not so much focused on accessibility, but writing good semantic code with stuff like dom-testing-library https://testing-library.com/docs/dom-testing-library/intro/

Github was acquired and isn't open source though.

VSCode is nice and open-source core maybe, but most important parts like server plugins remain proprietary.

Found this about TypeScript, Guessing some times the people can change the company? Maybe? https://www.zdnet.com/article/who-built-microsoft-typescript...

Thank you microsoft, just don't do anything stupid to the great commons and trust you have build out over the last years..
