Nearly a decade ago, transitapp.com had a premium app that costed $2.99 to buy. Most users opted for free options, but I saw the value in the app and bought it. The company later switched to a free model, and then more recently a subscription model. I tried getting customer service to honour the lifetime license, but they only offered 1 year of subscription for their Royal plan.

I've had other lifetime licenses that have been honoured even after those companies shifted to subscriptions. I always feel bad using the Transit app because of that experience. Wouldn't recommend.

Have you made any progress on the ADHD tool?

I'm 23 and have lived most of my life without having close friends. I'd say I'm very extroverted and can strike up engaging conversations with most people I meet. I'm easy going and don't really have a fear of talking to new people.

The problem is that I end up with dozens of friends that I regularly have good banter with, but it just never feels like one of those "best friend" or "close friend" situationships. Most of my own problems or vulnerabilities are dealt with by myself, internally, perhaps with some advice from others if I discuss it. It feels like you need to lean on people emotionally in order to actually become closer.

What OP has mentioned does actually work and I have used some similar approaches, without knowing it, to improve my friendships. But you also need to attach a high value to regular conversation and communications. If you don't keep in contact on a regular basis, the friendship will diminish, regardless of the closeness.

OF COURSE IT IS because its about British Columbia

Getting hired is just applying to another job posting. The interview process is two-step, with a project-based technical component. The job itself is also two-step: first year is similar to contract work, with good employees brought into the fold not long after.

It looks like DOJ is trying to make an example out of some lowly frontend/freelance developer. Her work includes:

- creating a "web panel used to access victim data stored in a database"

- added a feature that "showed an infected computer or ‘bot’ status in different colors based on the colors of a traffic light"

- added a feature that "allowed other Trickbot Group members to know when their co-conspirators were working on a particular infected machine"

One thing DOJ accuses her of is "developing tools and protocols for the storage of credentials stolen and exfiltrated from victims infected by Trickbot." But its pretty obvious they don't know what "frontend developer" even means.

Money talks

Maybe it'll reduce the number of trading days in a year from 252 to 251. All the quants will need to update their models :)

@TikTok employees: any thoughts?

I agree that the post isn't flag-worthy, but I don't think the content is very relevant to the community either. Although the Gates Foundation and Microsoft share the same founder, the former is nothing like the latter.

For overall memory, I generally just remember things instead of using all these fancy apps. Sometimes I'll make some notes in Typora (clean .md editor), but more often than not, I'll never revisit the file.

I'm a visual learner, so its really easy for me to recall past snapshots (static, not like a video) from my life, or how certain things looked at a point in time. It's not quite an identical memory, but it's not too far off either. Maps are a breeze, and even complex tunnel systems like the PATH in Toronto are easy to navigate.

For learning, it helps if you just throw yourself into it. Take 5 minutes and try to work at the concept. Usually this will turn into 30-60 minutes. I learned Kubernetes and AWS EKS this way.

For problem solving, I'll make some notes for brainstorming, todo lists, and any questions I have. Then when I go for my daily walk (~15km/2hrs), I reflect on the abstractions again (from memory) and try to refactor what doesn't seem perfect.

I do have a mind palace set up, but I don't really use it.

Meanwhile people are going outside more because of the pandemic. So much for lockdowns.

Unless you opt for SpaceX's Starlink. Still expensive, but bandwidth is usually better than without it in remote regions.
