What does the year have to do with it? Aesthetics and appearance have a lot to do with our decisions every day. The people you date, news you read, shoes you buy, etc.

There's nothing wrong with having a preference and/or being put off by something. I'm not bringing her down, her appearance and vibe just isn't for me.

I do like some things she has built and said, but I don't go out of my way to follow her or keep up with her.

I have been using vim and tmux for over 10 years as my primary development setup. I have tried others things like vscode, jetbrains ides and even cloud based ides (like cloud9, before Amazon bought it).

I have always gone back to vim and tmux for everything I do.

She speaks the truth often, but I never really got how she portrays herself. Not a huge fan... regardless, she should be able to say whatever she wants and use the platform she built.

It doesn't have user IDs... seems like an odd selling point... if you have good end to end encryption who cares if you have user IDs? I imagine you could do network analysis and so on to try an determine a network of people to deanonymize... but if you have encrypted chats, you have no context... unless guilt by association is enough.

On the other hand, a bigger problem than IDs would probably be IP addresses, etc. Random IDs per-conversation would also go a long way.

I stick with vim. It’s already installed anywhere that matters. Why bother installing neovim? I don’t rely on neovim only extensions.

In my experience, most people using neovim are really turning vim into vscode.

Yes… I agree. However, I imagine one handwritten letter to a friend or loved one would be far more enriching for most people than 100 published blog posts.

This seems like a long shot and a very optimistic view of a public presence. It’s equally likely anything you put online will be used against you in the future.

I doubt the risks out weigh the minute possibility of a benefit.

You don’t need a public presence in code or writing to be a valuable person.

Why publish at all? Who cares if something blows up and goes viral? Why should I spend any time publishing anything?

Personally, I’d rather spend time doing something that enriches my life and/or the lives of people I care about.

It isn’t clear why the discussion is around flutter.

The problem is when you define yourself by the technology you know. You’re an app developer or an engineer, not a flutter developer. Focus on showing your ability to make apps or whatever the target company does.

Is it just me, or is this over engineered? Brings me back to SOAP services and WSDLs.

My idea of a C development environment has always been Vim, Tmux and a decent compiler.

I am not sure it's so black and white with encryption. It depends on your threat model. Keeping it secure from an angry ex-girlfriend is one thing, but keeping it secure from a three letter agency is another.

The mistake you are referring to is someone that assumes "encrypted" means three letter agency safe, which is a pretty terrible way to leverage encryption. In that case, it's exactly like hopping in a Tesla and assuming auto pilot will take you home without your supervision.

Was this kid arguing about the automatic encrypt/decrypt file capability and Bram's unwillingness to use a cryptographically secure algorithm? It was a long, long thread that got heated.

I was with Bram though! It was never meant to be secure in a cryptographic sense...

Recession is fake news at this point.

If you have a gmail address, you already failed.

I can somewhat understand the idea... but I don't see this as my mistake. A person agreed to pay for something. They signed an agreement. The payment terms were specified (N-30). The person used the product but decided not to pay.

Not sure what I can learn here, besides not allowing an enterprise access even if they have agreed to terms and signed the agreement... but that is not common. As far as I am aware, it's common to give an enterprise access as soon as the agreements have been signed.

The debt is too much for small claims court, not too little.

This has been done, but they already used all of the plan that was agreed upon.

I understand-- what about the use of a debt collector? Wouldn't it be better to settle for N, where N is greater than 0? Especially if the collector does all of the work/time investment?

Sad. I didn't interact with Bram much, but I did have an email exchange with him early in my software developer journey. I submitted a few patches to Vim and he helped me work through them to get them approved/merged. He was very patient and kind even though I was a complete newbie.

Alternatively, search the web for everyone implementing "/ip" and random load balance between all of them and let them handle the load for you.

I paid off ~65K in student debt in one year (first year as a developer)... it's totally doable, especially in the USA.

I gave Tailwind a shot but ultimately settled with Bootstrap. It wasn't because Tailwind was bad-- I thought it provided a lot of value. The issues that ultimately made me switch to Bootstrap were:

1. I don't need a build tool for JS/CSS, so introducing one _just_ for Tailwind was a pain.

2. In order to really take advantage of Tailwind and speed up development, you need the Tailwind vim plugin (which doesn't work in vanilla Vim, only Neovim from what I can tell.. I don't use Neovim).

3. The html gets bloated pretty bad and it does get hard to read.. especially without the extra tooling like the Tailwind plugin to sort class names, auto complete Tailwind class names, etc.

If they wanted to be anonymous they shouldn't be using Facebook or any Meta property.

Honestly, who cares? It's not like people had no idea smoking caused cancer to begin with. They certainly don't care, so why should we?

Because I don't support people/companies/technology that go against basic human rights and you shouldn't either.

In chrome or chromium it would be in the settings somewhere… reopen tabs when you open the browser?

Any fork of chrome is probably doing the same thing with regards to session resuming and session cookies.

If you put your session to resume where it left off, all cookies are stored as session cookies and last forever.

How much can you trust a man that has spoken out against gay marriage and rights as much as Brendan Eich has?

I find it hard to trust a framework that looks so "cutesy".
