But the biggest problem is still the human factor aka "you can't patch stupidity".
Something like having a hideout where you can accept contracts with little info on the target. Then you would gather information, like when is your target arriving at the airport, which hotel is it staying at, etc, so you could choose where, when and how to hit. It would be more tactical, similar to the old Rainbow Six games, where planning was 95% of the game and execution of the plan was more or less a formality if the plan was good.
Then a system like in Hitman: Blood Money where getting caught on camera or having witnesses would raise the awareness in security (they know your face -> you can't get close and have to plan accordingly).
Each contract would get you money for equipment, bribes, cars, better or more hideouts. It would be very complex, but not impossible.
Ok, let's try it with the "Twitter privacy policy inquiries" form (while logged in). Nope, can't submit anything, because of the suspension. So why not have some fun? Just sent a GDPR request via the "suspension appeal" form. Why? For the lulz and to have some legal leverage.
Not even five minutes passed and I got a email. My account is not suspended anymore... WTF twitter?
I tried to contact the support, but they never responded.

On the other hand, H.P. Lovecraft is always a good read.
I had to go to one of the more "exotic" server rooms, placed in a basement and saw a very old desktop stuffed on the bottom of a rack. Covered with dust, open side panels, plastic turned yellow, you know how old and forgotten hardware looks like. This had a new-ish post-it with the message: "this runs all of the fax infrastructure. you turn it off, you explain it to the CEO".
There is the F(x)tec Pro1X [0] which looks similar to the Nokia N900. It's a little bit too expensive for the specs (about 740€ for the 8GB/256GB version with Snapdragon 662), but could be a nice phone.
Or maybe OnwardMobility will succeed and release the new Blackberry this year and it won't be a piece of crap. /s

But there are good resources like the bash hackers wiki [0] and Greg's BashGuide [1] for more shell craziness.

Missing lib's are a big point, but we have to take the age of both languages, the size of their communities and the intended purpose into consideration.
C# was released around 2000 massively pushed by Microsoft with Desktop as primary target. Dart was released around 2010 or 2011 and was more or less intended to be a web language like JS/TS IIRC.
7.5 Test your backup strategy every now and then (nothing is more painful than data loss and dysfunctional backups)
8. "All users lie, there is no exception". Sad but true, get used to it.
9. Automate your infrastructure. If something goes down, just recreate it with Chef/Ansible/Terraform/etc.
[edit: added no.9]
4.0 is released, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Ping me if you have it!

>You can read fast enough to churn out information, but you need to wait for every second to digest the information in a voice call. This can happen, but I can reread the message or just parts of it fairly easy. With voice messages it's getting annoying when you need to rewind to a specific part of it, especially if the message is 2-3 minutes long.
And there is also the audio quality and background noise, but it's a different topic.
Running CMake + gcc on a bigger project? The fans start running like crazy. The performance of the i9 is awesome, at least for the first 1-2 minutes, after that the CPU is throttling you back to the 90's and the fans are spinning even louder.
But this is not even the funniest issue with it. I have the biggest and most performant charger (96W, pretty much the maximum, because the USB-C standard states, you can only push up to 100W through it). You may think, if Apple put that charger in the box, it should be enough to achieve max performance with it AND still be able to charge it. Nope, but maybe it would be at least enough power, so the battery is not discharged. Lol, nope, higher load for a extended time WILL discharge your battery while being connected to the power supply.
I've tested it with two separate MBP with exactly the same spec (i9 + 32GB RAM + Radeon 5500M 8GB) with exactly the same behavior.
Let's say we have a scenario where someone has confident information incriminating one of my theoretical adversaries and configured Zoldy with the data. What if I hire a thug to steal and destroy the phone? Will the owner be able to stop the messages which he does not want to be sent?
Can the app be restored to a functional state on a different device? If yes, then a malicious third party would be able to get access to the Google/Apple account and restore it gaining control of the sensitive information.
The website states, the data is stored in Firebase. But how does the app access it? Is there a gateway server you control? If yes, I wouldn't even bother with the previous scenarios, but attack that server and get ALL the data. Not only from one target, but from all, which would be pretty much a disaster (for you, the app and all the customers).
I have expected something like:
auto foo = static_cast<int>(1.5);
but the first snippet was:
cout << 4.35
and the second:
int n = (4.35 * 100) + 0.5; cout << n;
