And TLA?

all those examples you listed have restrictions and regulations in many places in addition to services that provide help to the affected. Doesn't have to be one OR the other, can do both

I think that's a very interesting question. "Gamer" has always been a bit of a niche tag but with games now becoming more and more mainstream it will be like calling people that watch m…

That is a great system, but there could still be coarcion to show your "prime number" token to someone, say your employer. Probably not common in the US or the EU, but in Venezuela for examp…

Regarding sexual orientation I found this bit of logic interesting: “By discriminating against homosexuals, the employer intentionally penalizes men for being attracted to men and women for being attr…

I would really dig lists from people I trust or follow. Get directors, actors, artists, editors, critics to really curate some lists and I'm in. Even better if they can add a couple of lines to t…

That's only true for the bigger companies that can afford it. Smaller ones usually ask for you to be legally allowed to work in the country, at least that's been my experience. Also your ski…

I don't think word processors are the right analogy. In your example programmers are the monks or the press makers. At some point we're not needed any more (at least at the same scale) since…

I also struggle with phone calls (or even ordering in house). Apart from the empathy side that you mention my reasoning is also that confronting the anxiety and getting used to it is the only way to m…

Some others have already mentioned it but you should give some co-workings a try. These are some of the benefits I've found: - I chose a co-working space that was more aligned to the type of pers…

that's another interesting point, you could potentially remote desktop from/to a different OS as well.

You reckon these kind of tablet/laptops would be able to handle remote desktop smoothly? Since the quarantine started I've been using my laptop to remote desktop to my PC in the office (I ne…

Get the same with Firefox. Tried it with Chrome and it works. Makes me sad :(

I also thought it had to do with that, but given the parent's edit it seems to do with ideas floating around because of money issues given covid-19

I really like Qt for desktop development, use it everyday, but this post makes me feel uneasy. What "discussions on various internet forums" do they mean? there's been plenty. And, whic…

No idea about Armenia, but that wouldn't be that strange in latin america. Of course not everyone would take the day off but many would offer to go to the hospital with you.

On the Aphex Twin's topic. An article about automatically generating or extending a very relaxing Aphex Twin song: https://medium.com/@metalex9/generating-more-of-my-favorite…

I've been using Parsec, it's marketed as a game streaming service but it just streams your whole screen at a very good rate. It works perfectly for me. Before I tried Windows Remote Desktop …

in reality is the opposite, the footprint is huge in terms of environmental impact, the cruises pollute the air of the city. Also, cruise visitors use the city's facilities (roads, trash collecti…

Where is that? I think internet quality varies quite a lot within the EU, urban vs rural, etc so we can'treally generalise. I pay less than 40eur for a 600mbit connection.

I really enjoyed "Thimbleweed Park" also by Ron Gilbert. It came out a couple of years ago, the look and feel is just like the old ones, the humour as well. I was completely immersed.

but that list is >8hrs of back to back chores (according to his estimates) for a non-work day without any of the ones your parent post mentions. I don't think that's realistic.
