I've been a developer, system administrator, co-founder, and everything in between. I have links to my GitHub and LinkedIn accounts in my profile. Here's what I've been working on lately: https://github.com/CtrlC-Root/mdcs.
In my opinion it all comes down to putting your money (and time, effort, convenience or lack of it, etc) where your mouth is. I don't like Google, Amazon, or Facebook's policies and practices so I choose not to participate. That most people around me are subsidizing their lives (free storage, free email, 2-day shipping, easy home automation, etc) in exchange for their privacy and independence doesn't really factor into my own decision. I do try and raise awareness and encourage others to take similar steps but ultimately they need to make the decision for themselves of they won't commit to it.
Not necessarily. I find it helps readability to do this:
def prunde_indices(indices, cutoff):
def match_old_index(index):
return index.timestamp < cutoff
old_indices = filter(match_old_index, indices)
# ... do things with old_indices
On a side note, manufacturing guns and ammo at home is not incredibly hard. Granted, you won't get the same result as if you bought something from the store, but they will function all the same.
