This pinephone project was the last thing I remeber looking into. Not sure where they are at now. But I think they have a number of OSS you can look to contribute to.

Is this similar to running an append only data structure in a normal tsdb, and then querying by date time and taking the most recent value in that data set? Or is it different.

Also keep hacking. Very cool to hear that you found some workable bypasses. Loved beating school IT in my day.

If you're trying to make the argument that because they can be insecure, we should not use JWTs. Thats not really a great argument for most people. JWTs provide a lot of value, and the idea of having some secure, validatable, and no network required check for authentication, or transporting information. Is too valuable for businesses. So we all use JWTs, they are a decent standard.

At the very least you should propose an alternative that people use besides JWTs if you're going to vaugly hand wave about the scary security issues of 2021 firebase, and 2020 Npm packages reported by Auth0.

So then you could say it was programmed in english*

*Or whatever human language you want.

Didn't those people get an education? Didn't they go through school?

I did a quick search and linus has a masters in computer science.

What is a self taught engineer then?

I would expect that an article with this kind of claim in the title, would have some data about code quality, qualitative reivews from coworkers and managers, with different cohorts of devs, over some time frame.

This piece right now, just seems like an opinion without substance.

Additionally for what it's worth, I personally think of myself as a self taught engineer, so I'm biased to actually agree with the author. However I feel like this claim lacks substance.

The latency used to really bother me, but if Claude does 99% of the typing. Its a good idea.

The package system is very important to learn in Linux. People have 12 ways to install an app, and they are far from equal.

Basically like Java Spring Boot or NestJS type projects.

Because they can just create and write to random directories whenever they want. And any Uninstaller, either provided by the app or Microsoft could just miss these files, because they aren't recreating the full program control flow.

I am not affliated with them, I am a customer and I like their products.

I think there is a feeling that klarna, and other bnpl companies just lend without checking or caring of consumer credit, or buying power. I've never used them before, so I don't know if this is a case.

With credit cards there is the "appearance" of them checking credit scores, ability to pay , etc.. before giving a credit card.

I say appearance, because as we all know cc companies will just lend cards to anyone, and then charge huge interest rates.

Ultimately it's another form of credit, and it's a minor change on the current system. But since it's finance and lending, it's a step to make lending easier.

The "Well I could just work harder" is valid to a point; if you're not putting in enough time it will show. But I think you are since many of these failures are not you "just giving up" which YC tells us is about 60% of startups. So as long as you're constantly improving I think you're heading in the right direction.

Its possible that you never make it, and that is a reality we all must face when starting businesses. But if you have the energy, and you find fulfillment in the work. I would continue.

We mainly use it as a prospecting tool.

Your channels are dependent on your product and market you're trying to serve. For us it's b2b enterprise customers in the United States. So email works well. If you are trying to sell to developers, or union carpenters in venezuela its going to be different per case.

Personally, I think that with devs, we have a lot of work mobility, so generally people can leave to find other jobs with similar or better pay if they wanted to. So really see this as a "soft choice" at the least. If you work in games, you expect overtime. Many devs now have on-call schedules that wake them up at 2am for support calls. It's apart of the life that we sign up for and agree to when we sign on to orgs. Why is overtime here seen as terrible? I mean its not fun, but its agreed to and generally devs are compenstated at least fairly if not well.

To be clear I'm not "rooting" or trying to "defend" the corporate overlords here, it sucks that the devs need to work overtime, and its likely due to poor management choices made months ago. But I don't think anyone working on star citizen should see this as a surprise.

If the devs are compenstated unfairly for their time, or don't get to be apart of a games success, thats a different story and should be discussed, but overtime two weeks up to launch doesn't seem to me to be a big deal.

Am I tone deaf?

I think its apart of a media campaign to highlight the best parts of the agency to the public, which can be used for attracting talent, convincing voters that the agency is good, and convincing leaders the agency is necessary.

Additionally, its also a defensive move against other powers that want to discredit the NSA and sway public opinion. Many security professionals talk about cyberspace being the new territory for warfare, and there is a significant amount of astroturfing, manipulation and falsification of information which occurs in social media. No one else is going to try to make the NSA look good besides the NSA.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the NSA, just that the basics of the increased media coming from their office is to attempt to make the NSA look better to all parties who have some level of power over them.

Bonus points if it's the version from March 27th 2012.

I don't think anywhere its stated that the author wanted to leave a game unchanged. Or as unchanged as possible.

In this perspective I think this article/exercise is not "an utter failure". Its pretty decent.

The issue isn't that these jobs pay well and are great to work in so we should deal with any bs that flys. It's that people don't deserve to be harrassed, regardless of how "good" their work is.

If you make 2 million a year as an investment banker, you don't deserve to be unfairly humiliated at your job more than any part time fast food worker.

Update you policy, wait for some period of ykme, hopefully test it.

Doesn't work?

Maybe you didn't wait long ebougb, maybe you're dumb. Who knows!? Not me.

I can see it the same way on how drug abusers will quit it entirely and rather than trying to have a moderate take on using since it's too much work to be moderate. Although, sugar is not the same as a drug, the response of cutting the substance out entirely has some parallels to drug recovery. So the movement makes conceptual sense to me at least, and it's not like cutting it out is actively unhealthy. So I don't think it's a big deal to be a "zero sugar" person
