The diagrams at "check your understanding" sections are great.


Here are plans from the argentinian governent.

I don' know where are you from, but be advised that construction techniques that we use are mostly brick based with reinforced concrete structure.


The Mexican government also has pretty nice plans:

They target different climates and some of them can be built in multiple stages. I'd easily live in some of those renders.


There is a new response from Jason Evangelho about this:

> -Our top 3 donors last year gave 3000 EUR, 2500 EUR, and several that gave 1000 (in both Euros and US dollars)

> -We had ~76 donations last year that were $500 USD equivalent or above (these were made by individuals or small businesses that use Thunderbird, and totals less than 1% of donations)

> -Donations higher than $100 USD (or equivalent) were only 5% of total donations.

> -43% of donations in 2022 were between $5 – $20 USD.

> In our view, we don’t have mega-donors. We have normal, awesome people


I was getting a 404 error. Apparently, because the site redirects me to a non-existent localized version of the page. You can bypass this by forcing English in the URL https://www.uber.com/en-US/blog/devpod-improving-developer-p...


Probably.

In Postgres, WITH queries are not "optimizer fences" since version 12 [0].

But I discovered many other usefull features/tips.

I'm a 34 years old father living in a smal but beautiful town. Thirteen yeas of experience as an administrative clerk and three as professional developer in the same org. Attended three years of Systems Engineering. First time writing a CV. Love to work as the wildcard guy, and focus in solving the problem, regardles the size of the project, the sponsor, or the tool. I find making people happy easing his daily work very rewarding. Bonus if I can learn new things.

Some of my work:

- Setup an openvpn server and several clients. Finding out with the user how to do homeoffice with high latency network.

- Optimize dozens of SQL query written over 15 years.

- Make an arduino based scale, with auto logging capabilities and powered/managed from an Android app.

- Working in a web based invoice system (AngularJS, Symfony 2.8, Postgresql) as a solo dev, but teaming with several accountants to interpret our complicated tax system and translate legal text to programs and business rules.

- Improve a wifi network installing APs, setting up vlans and configuring routers monitoring/filter capabilities.

- User support for a 80 employee company, helping with Excel, Outlook, printers, loose wires, bad internet connections, and people's bad days. Always (well, usually) trying to make them smile (maybe the next time they will make the same for me).

- Maintain web and mail servers (Apache, NGINX, Postfix).

- Improve an 20 years old, no support, web based vbscript ERP. Adding features and fixing administrative circuits (meaning talking/convincing people of a wide age range).

- Contributing in an open source Gps-tracking Andoid app.

- Experience with integrations (webservice and txts -I know, not exciting at all- of government agencies and banks).

- Various automations scripts (bat, bash, powershell) and web scrappers (php, puppeteer, regex).

- University or side projects to taste some tech in: QuickBasic, Pascal, Smalltalk, wxPHP, Java/TS (Play! framework, Jhipster) and C#.

I’m eager to work in a remote team as a part time Jr. dev. Not experience at all, but willing/wanting to learn new things and work hard to earn my place.

Related discussion [1] about using Rotor ships [2] and the Magnus effect [3] to reduce carbon emissions and shipping costs. IMHO a much more interesting tech/physics phenomenon :)

Im using this add on on Firefox for Android: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/text-reflow-w.... Maybe it can help you. Be aware it's not perfect: >This add-on is my attempt to provide the "reflow" option for text in Firefox Android. Warning: It is very limited. It will only reflow one paragraph at a time. You will have to tap/click on every single paragraph that you want to reflow.


>keep your hands on the keyboard

It is probably a question of generation, but young people do not want to use the keyboard and do not value the agility that can be achieved. Not so long ago, I spent some time adding keyboard shortcuts to an ERP written in Angular, just to realize that only ~ 30% of users (those who had used the old DOS-based ERP) saw value in that requirement.


While I get you on the under-appreciation of keyboard shortcuts, I think in this case there is some overlap as a selling feature with both user types since the actual application itself (vs navigation) is a text note-taking application...


I use the keyboard for everything - but would probably ignore your shortcuts because I already have extensions that let me use the keyboard efficiently in the browser environment.


Good tip. I recently did some research on email with free custom domain (well, really just googling and visit the first results) and did not know about them.

So for the moment I'm using zoho.com.
