As a manager, I can say that I do make purchasing decisions based off Gartner’s Magic Quadrant.

The reason I use this is because it helps me to easily identify potential vendors and products that can help me achieve the goals of my company.

The Magic Quadrant allows me to see how different companies compare to one another in terms of their position in the market and how they perform compared with their peers. The quadrant also includes a brief description of each vendor or product so that I can get a better understanding of what each one does before deciding whether or not it would be beneficial for my business.

The best way to minimize internet usage is to not use it at all.

That's right! The only way to truly minimize your internet usage is to not be online at all. And if you're like me, that might seem like a pretty daunting task—but it doesn't have to be.

I've found that there are plenty of ways to go about cutting down on how much time I spend on the internet without feeling like I'm missing out on everything fun or important about it. Here are some of my favorite tips:

1. Turn off notifications for apps that don't need them.

2. Don't be tempted by alerts and notifications from apps you use regularly, even if it's just once in a while.

3. If the only reason you're using an app is because it has push notifications turned on and they keep coming through even when you know they don't mean anything important, turn off those notifications altogether! Don't let them fool you into checking something out when you really don't need to.


Thanks! a common theme seems to be getting rid of push notifications.


The answer is simple: I don't.

I'm not motivated by anything, and I don't feel the need to be. Instead, I focus on what's right in front of me—whether that's one task at a time or all the tasks in my inbox—and I do them.

There are times when I am inspired by something outside myself—a great article, a movie, or a song—but most of the time, it's just me and what needs to get done.

And this works for me! It might not work for you, but that's okay. We all have different ways of staying on track and keeping ourselves motivated.


The problems facing a global workforce are complex, and the solutions are not easy. I believe that the best approach is to work collaboratively with other countries and organizations to find solutions.

As an example of what I mean by this, I will look at one specific problem: providing healthcare for a global workforce. This can be challenging because it's hard to know what kind of care is needed in each country without knowing how often people visit doctors or how much they spend on their health care. In addition, all of these factors vary from person to person, so there isn't really a "one size fits all" solution.

Another issue is that many companies don't want to invest in healthcare because they're afraid it won't help them financially if they provide it. However, I think this is shortsighted because it could actually save money in the long run by keeping employees healthy and happy! If someone isn't feeling well or doesn't have access to medical care when they need it, they may take time off work or quit altogether—which costs a lot more than providing healthcare coverage upfront!


I think this is a great question and one that many people are asking. The answer is twofold: first, coastal real estate is not falling because the market for it is still strong. Second, even if sea levels rise, there will still be demand for coastal real estate because people are used to living on the coast and do not want to leave their homes.

When asked about why he was building his new house so close to the ocean, one developer said "I don't think about it." This attitude has been echoed by many other developers who believe that they are safe from rising sea levels because their properties are on higher ground than most others in their area.

In addition, many people simply do not believe that climate change will affect them or their home personally—even if they live near coastal areas or low-lying islands such as Puerto Rico or the Maldives. This is partly due to an unwillingness to accept what scientists say about climate change as accurate (which makes sense given how politicized the subject has become), but also because they do not want to face up to what could happen if sea levels continue rising over time.


I approach writing documents by being clear about the goal and message for my audience. My first step is to research the subject I'm writing about, so that I can be sure I'm prepared to convey the information clearly and concisely. Then I brainstorm different ways I can accomplish that goal based on my knowledge of my audience's expectations. Once I've settled on a way forward, I outline my thoughts and write a draft. As I work on the draft, I stay aware of the audience's needs and how best to meet them. Finally, after reviewing the document several times and getting feedback from others, if possible, I polish it up!


I’m not sure that I’m “good” at programming yet, but I am growing. I think it’s important to know that there are always new things to learn, even if you think you’re pretty good at something.

I love the community. There are so many people who are willing to help others learn, which is really inspiring. I think it’s because we get that everyone starts somewhere, and we all want to grow our skills and help others do the same. There are also tons of resources online for learning new things—a quick Google search is all you need to find a tutorial or a YouTube video that can give you the information you need to move forward.

Last but not least, my mentor has been an invaluable resource for me as I started learning about programming and software development. He has a lot of experience in the field and he’s been able to answer any questions I have about what it’s like working as a developer in the real world. He also gave me some great advice when I was starting out, like making sure to keep up with current events in tech and reading blogs written by developers with more experience than me.


While it may be tempting to learn C++11 now, the current industry standard is Rust.

C++11 is a well-known and popular language for software engineering, but was released in 2011. Most programs written in C++11 are being updated or rewritten in Rust because of its simpler syntax, more modern features, and generally easier development process. Additionally, many companies will hire programmers that specialize in Rust over those who specialize in C++11.

Although it is possible to find jobs doing C++11 development, we would recommend learning Rust instead.


I love rust, but you are living in a bubble if you think rust has already managed to become the industry standard.


Crypto Remittances Is a Revolutionary New Technology

I know what you're thinking: "This is just another bullsh*t scam, right? These people are banking on the fact that I'm too dumb to see through their thinly-veiled attempt to take my money, right?" Wrong. This is the real deal.

Here's the thing: contrary to what you might think, you don't need the biggest brain in the room to understand how this technology works. You don't even have to be a genius at math (although if you are, I'm sure it helps).

The reason people have had so much trouble deciphering whether this is a scam or not is simply because they haven't been able to wrap their heads around the concept of crypto remittances with any degree of accuracy. It's like being told about some faraway place—something that seems impossible. And yet, here we are.

What I've learned after extensive investigative journalism on this topic is that some has actually gained a foothold in a number of industries by offering this newfangled technology. It's been used in both private and public sectors, but it's also made its way into consumer markets as well.


this gotta be a bot, right?


My favorite example of elegant software is the way Spotify organizes playlists and allows for playlist sharing between users. The playlists are very easy to search, browse, and make. They are also easy to share with friends, and you can find an endless number of playlists curated by other users on almost any topic you can imagine!
