@valentina I hear you, especially after all my tacos this weekend in san antonio. I had bbq, nopale and egg, chorizo....just yum lol. I did have it in my mind to go up to the register and say "yum install BarbacoaTaco" but I didn't because I figured I would be the only one laughing as I went back to my table.

@EddieJennings Good luck Eddie!

*We currently run on an hourly payment model. The time you bill to clients is what you are paid.
There is no vacation, but the hourly rate accounts for that. If you can't swing taking time off, it is your own fault.

Wow, seems like a tough gig.

From your perspective maybe. But I take off when I want. I work when I want. For 2019 I put in 40/week most weeks.

You might have missed where the rate accounts for the time.
I worked 1983.5 hours in 2019. That is 96.5 less hours than 40 hours a week. Basically, I took 12 days completely off.

In reality, I took off more than that, and worked more than 8 hours a day often.

Fuck your old school 8-5 bullshit concepts of a job.

Hey i think that makes a lot of sense and who doesn't love flexibility! If I loved anywhere close I would do it. Being remote and being able to choose vacation time when you need it mean a lot when your kid surprises you with an event they should have told you about.

I finally got Log.io running and I like it. It will be really useful on the server for my website.

Hi, I'll email this evening when I have access to my personal email.

@nerdydad I am in Waco as well so will report anything of significance that might help others be safe.

Good video. Possibly another video idea, if you want to get into it, is a break down on how you make the decision on what operating system or software to use and how to run the numbers. I hear that a lot and I personally would not know how to do this reliably. Maybe others would not either .

@Dashrender said in Will Tech Giants actually adopt WFH?:

some employees just can't do it - they can't stay on task while at home

But can they in the office? These are the same people who derail others in the office.

Studies show that people stay MORE on task at home. If we cared about people being on task, the office would have been ruled out long ago. So clearly, no one using an office is concerned with this, so this is moot.

Sure, a few people are useless anywhere, but the majority work better at home.

Yeah I agree with this. When I'm at home I can just focus on whatever tasks I need to until each is done. At the office, I have 50 different requests/favors/distractions a day. I also bounce from building to building and each takes a while to walk to. I'm far more efficient at home.

Can we implement something like the daily challenge here as well?

Good video, thanks!

I would agree with this also. Postgres is a very mature and solid product. Unless you have a specific reason to not use it , it would be my first choice

@momurda yeah in my opinion witcher is too much for my 6 year old

safe mode in wordpress is like disabling all of the plugins and setting theme to the original and then work from there.

It's $25 a month 8-Core Intel / 16GB RAM / 2TB SATA / 100 mbit unmetered internet / 1 public IPv4.

That's not too bad. Of course, I'd argue that it would be way cheaper to get four people together, and get a "real" server in colocation and split it. Each of you getting way more than this.

Cheaper? Yes. Easier? Nah. I don't want 3 other people mad at me when reboot the host randomly.

It really isn't bad, and as far as I can tell, they've had amazing reliability at the facility.

I bet that they are using something like SM Blades.

It's actually pretty cool.

that is pretty cool. does the technician at the end really need a hard hat?

So someone left this next to my desk over the weekend

nice present!

@dashrender Yeah I agree with that. I think I will offer to do it for free this time and explain to him its a learning opportunity for me.

Glad i invested in zoom and ring central in february. Zoom is up 295.19% and ring central is up 252.05% per share.

summer hours started this week so I'm off every friday. Going to hit a few gold balls, see what new Linux stuff i can install and get running, and watch Deadpool

@scottalanmiller Yeah but these are the stories the news media runs with. It doesn't matter if it virtually no one is affected:/ Dumb media.
