This made me giggle like a little girl. Oh sweet summer child...

Try Hack Me is another one that is great. More hand holding and easier for beginners.

Next up: Trauma Team.

One of the main things I do when doing any application security tests is - you guessed it - read the documentation and source code (if it's open source).

It's basically like reading a manual on how to exploit the application.

I don't think I've ever had more than 10 tabs. Why on earth would anyone have more than a few open at the same time?

While true, we as humans can't even fathom how an alien lifeform would reason if they came here. To base how aliens would act if they came here on how we as humans have acted throughout history is kind of stupid in my opinion.

As a swede and an introvert I feel the opposite whenever I'm visiting the US or some other country where people just can't seem to leave me alone.

I remember the first time I went to LA and people were walking up to me and started talking to me out of nowhere and I was like "what the hell is wrong with these people and why are they talking to me? I don't know them". I was so exhausted after two weeks that I basically stayed inside my apartment for a week when I got home to Sweden.

Reminds me of the type of websites I and a lot of people used to create in flash in the early 2000.

Not to be that guy but some of the worst security vulnerabilities I've seen has been from senior devs with college degrees. Having a degree =/= you know your shit or being "immune" to absurdly stupid mistakes like this.

You'd be surprised how often I've found leaked API tokens, passwords in plaintext etc on github for instance.

So I'm in infosec and I know a lot of americans and some of them work with OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and some things that they spend hours on, a 10 year old kid can do in 5 minutes here in sweden.

It's kind of hilarious.

Exactly, meaning it's not good if comparing it to PC.

I tried Stadia this christmas and while I'm not surprised, I'm disappointed. Everyone says that it runs well, no input lag, great picture quality and so on. But that was a lie.

While playing Destiny 2 and Hitman on a laptop running Ubuntu and over wifi with a controller, it felt ok-ish. Almost on par with playing on a Xbox Series X but not quite there.

However, when I tried the same games on my gaming rig, on a 1 Gbit fiber connection with a mouse and keyboard it was completely unplayable for me. The input lag is just too high for me to enjoy the experience. On top of that the picture quality is pretty bad compared to running the same game on your own machine at 4K.

My conclusion is that Stadia will not replace a high end gaming rig for the type of gamer with higher demands. I even doubt it will replace xbox or playstation for the console players.

Class action lawsuit, incoming. WE LIKE THE STOCK.

The vast majority of SWE in the US doesn't even make $150k/year so yeah, good luck with that $150k extra.

Last time I checked the average salary for SWE in the US was roughly $110k.

It's still sharing data. Sorry.

I hope you're fine with Telegram sharing your location data.

When you're starting out making music having just one computer for everything is fine but once you've reached the point where you spend a lot of your time on it, it quickly becomes a no brainer to at least have a dedicated computer for just that. It's about putting yourself in a productive setting where you only focus on creating and you have minimal distractions.

Besides, a dedicated computer for music production has a low entry cost since you basically only need a decent amount of ram. My studio computer has an old i7, 32 GB ram and it doesn't even have a GPU and the price was less than $500 a few years ago. It's going to outlast my current gaming rig and probably my next one as well.

We're living in a snowflake society. Everyone gets offended by everything and nothing.

You have a vivid imagination, that's for sure.

It's amazing how far behind the US have been. I remember getting 100/100 Mbit fiber included in my rent 15 years ago here in Sweden.

There's no "overpopulation situation". It's a matter of over crowding and lack of distrubution of resources.

I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of recreational users of mushrooms grow the mushroom themselves because of how easy and risk free it is. Meaning the quality is as good as it gets.

Or so I've heard.

If you add anything to your coffee you're in fact breaking your fast so you're not really intermittent fasting any more.

Yes, it's super slow abroad. Especially in the US.

All you need is a DAW and then import the song/track you want to recreate and you're basically good to go.

Been prepared that it will sound absolutely terrible for the first few months or even years.

I don't think it matters what kind of musician. I'm mainly a electronic music producer and I've done exactly the same thing; recreate entire tracks from scratch from some of my favorite artists. It has helped me a lot in understanding every part of music production. Everything from designing every individual instrument to arrangement and finally mastering.

Jesus christ. Just get a cheap wacom tablet.

Why are so many people starting businesses without even knowing how to sell their service/product?

No service/product is so good that it automagically sell itself.

Tinder is shit, that's for sure. But blocking it for the entire population isn't civlized and so isn't the Pakistan government.

Maybe it's time for the rest of the civilized world to block Pakistan.
