Maybe for a free account.

But we pay enterprise license and GitHub is a big dependency in our software flow.

If this continues to be a problem as an enterprise product they need to do something. Otherwise theyre are going to to start losing business

I got robbed by a friend and lost something very sentimental, if i had the security camera set up would have actually had evidence of it.

Most ad-hoc work I've picked up has been people I've previously worked with/for. Maybe worth reaching out to people you have a prestablished relationship with

One of my dearest friends suffers from ME/CFS - she's been bed ridden for 3 years now. Any stimulation is just so painful her. Seeing Dianna actually able to get out of bed has brought a bit of hope back into my life

This isn't working cutting into exercise time. It's getting more out of your working time. If I'm competitively training could be looking at 2 hours of aerobic base exercise a day. If I can do this whilst working - allows me to enjoy my evenings with my partner

I also have bradycardia, one of the goals for having a good garmin fitness age for me is maintaining sub 46bpm heart rate. So I think it takes it into account

I think its more potential, my 5k/10k are quite accurate but my half and full are quite off - which makes sense as they're the distances I train for. It also doesn't take other factors into account like running on track vs road

Just finished reading this, I get why it's done but its really tragic and sad that an algorithm is deciding who lives or dies. Could you imagine working on something like that? I don't think I'd have the stomach.

yeah i know how you feel on the whatsapp/signal, I quite involved in a sports club of 400+ people and along with that and most of my friends couldn't get anyone to leave whatsapp behind, so still with it... After all the data scandals and leaks you'd think people would be beginning to care but no one does

find the social outside of work? Work has always been work for me and nothing more, not really looking for socialising.

In fairness I've been fully remote for 10 years but I see friends during the day for coffees, lunch, exercise. And then multiple sports clubs in the evenings

I've seen this with a lot of tech and younger people.

"Kids" these days are just used to things working and not having to fix things themselves and missing out on getting the better understanding.

The only reason I'm in tech at all is from years of running game servers for my friends, fixing my computer, buying something cheap and putting the time in to save a small amount of money.
