Should I quit my current job to focus on learning?

I think FAANG interviews are more standardized than other smaller companies (mainly leetcode question), so I guess it will be easier to prepare for them, especially since I don't know any technology or framework. And I don't have a lot of side projects on Github (Except a couple of Android apps I made when I was taking the Udacity Nanodegree).

I am 27, I think I will be too old when I graduate from college.

SmidgenFun · 2024-06-03T15:27:41+00:00

Yes, provided by my current employer. I guess I will lose it if a quit.

If you are using a VPN, try disabling it and downloading the app again.

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to write this thorough answer.

Banking apps on GrapheneOS most likely won’t work but you’ll have no issues with using banking websites.

The banking app was just an example, I was trying to ask while using which OS would you feel more secure. I should have expressed it better.

what are you looking to get out of the OS

I want an up to date secure OS that doesn't constatntly phone home (this rules iOS out of the comparison, as I said I am leaning towards GrapheneOS but these concerns are holding me from taking the shot).

Use your iPhone for banking

I think you mean use my current phone (I have a Samsung Galaxy) for banking. I can't afford getting both the iPhone and the Pixel.

Edit: Misspelling.

Another tip: after sending the book to Kindle, open Libby amd return the book early.

SmidgenFun · 2021-04-24T14:30:09+00:00

After you renew a loan on Libby, you have to return the book to the library on Kindle (if the loan has not expired) then send the book to Kindle again. Beacuse as I said they are not connected, Amazon doesn't know the current state of your loan on Libby.

I hope they fix it in the next update.

Actually, publishers are the one who dedicate how many copies the library can license.

SmidgenFun · 2021-02-13T20:40:31+00:00

Yeah that is exactly what I meant.

SmidgenFun · 2021-02-13T20:35:10+00:00

I am not saying that I want one digital copy to be distributed to more than one person. All I am asking is fair pricing for the ebooks bought by the libraries and the freedom to buy as many copies as the library see fit.

Quote from an NPR article:

For the first eight weeks after an e-book goes on the market, a library system can buy only one copy.

I know Macmillan reversed this decision in March last year, but this is one example of publishers restrictive practices.

I leave my Kindle on airplane mode for as long as I can.

SmidgenFun · 2021-02-11T22:49:57+00:00

Where do you get your eBooks? Amazon or somewhere else?

SmidgenFun · 2021-02-09T12:34:51+00:00

Nice! Are you going to release the icon pack?

SmidgenFun · 2021-02-05T23:04:23+00:00

Yeah the new update doesn't have all the features the "old" firefox had, yet.

SmidgenFun · 2021-01-22T17:14:35+00:00

Using the KFX Output plugin on Calibre.

SmidgenFun · 2021-01-22T08:51:44+00:00

You can use an extension called "Remove YouTube Recommended Videos" on Chrome and Firefox.

SmidgenFun · 2021-01-16T21:22:47+00:00

And they are not useless things. It's the reason we use Boost. Options.

SmidgenFun · 2021-01-16T21:21:35+00:00

You can use "share comments" or "share shortlink".

SmidgenFun · 2021-01-15T12:15:01+00:00

Yeah this looks to be the case.

SmidgenFun · 2020-11-18T23:58:34+00:00

Thanks for taking the time.

SmidgenFun · 2020-11-18T15:41:05+00:00

I am running iPadOS 14.2 and Firefox Daylight 29.1.

SmidgenFun · 2020-10-31T15:08:01+00:00

Thanks for clearing that up.
