This is the most annoying thing about 2FA apps. I once dropped my phone and broke it. It wasn't in a repairable state. Lost access to multiple accounts due to losing 2FA apps. Sometimes, I think security people make them unnecessarily complex just for the sake of it. Not all services need 2FA. And SMS is fine for most of the things.
This was my anecdotal evidence as a person from a developing nation as well. Parents around these parts give utmost priority to children's education because its the only way they can get out of the vicious cycle of poverty. Add free education to the mix and, you have a lot of people with a less privileged background getting university degrees. A Lot of people moved out of poverty within past couple decades.
If memory safety needs this level of fuckery to get going, it's not worth it for vast majority of software. Maybe stick to a GCed language until we can come up with a sane way to do it. These examples look cryptic as hell.
How come the desktop UI frameworks have this issue solved for decades and CSS/Web still screwing around with mishmash of solutions? I guess, people were afraid to break stuff and kept piling garbage on top of garbage. I think it is safe to assume that the web layout systems suck.
Seems like Mozilla still hasn't learnt their lesson. Cut the crap and focus on Firefox. Too bad browsers became too large to maintain an independent community fork.
This was my observation as well. Python and Node still don't have perfect support on ARM (And no, this was not 10 years ago. Couple months ago tops). Not the core language/runtime but libraries. They still rely on native libs for some stuff. The platform I haven't experienced any issues at all was the JVM. Worked perfectly all the time. At least for my use cases (Web API services).
Oh please, AMD's offerings are worse than Nvidia's in every imaginable way except the open source nature of their Linux drivers. ROCm is shit. Nvidia actually supports CUDA on almost any Nvidia card. ROCm not so much.
This is one of the most selfish arguments you can make for having kids. You just want someone to take care of you when you are old. If we'll ever have capable robots, you people can stop having children.
I find it interesting to see how would something like Javalin work if coupled with Spring DI. Throw the Spring web stuff out and use Javalin instead. Spring web always felt archaic to configure when you want to go beyond simple CRUD operations like implementing sophisticated RBAC.
I've encountered a couple of NPM packages with native components which didn't work on a M series MacBook. Languages that uses native libs as part of their own packages are still a risk to do multi arch development/deployment.
Mozilla should handover Firefox to a separate entity and continue with their wishy washy projects. Only thing they are doing right now is ruining Firefox. I'll surely donate to such an entity if they solely focus on Firefox.
That's too long. I just bastardize an existing tld on local network like home.net. Some browsers don't even allow made up names. Internal is too long to type.
Yeah yeah. Haven't we already seen this going on again and again. Companies love OSS until they get some amount of traction in the market. And they'll jump ship to being a proprietary vendor right away after that. Can't believe people fall for this shit all the time.
They might not release a separate version for OSS, but I've seen this pattern in some "OSS" companies. They allow the OSS version to lag behind in terms on bug fixes and security updates. Some things are hard to achieve without paid support. These days it's not unbelievable that they are doing it on purpose. After all, we've seen some vocal OSS companies go proprietary after gaining some traction. The lesson is that you absolutely cannot trust corporations to uphold OSS ethos once they get a reasonable amount of traction.
As I see, the only purpose of Kotlin is a be test bed for novel features to JVM based languages. And eventually Java is going to integrate those features better than Kotlin. And Kotlin's advantages are gone like that. To be honest, I have never seen Kotlin used in environments other than Android. The day Google decides to move Android development to another language will be the day Kotlin dies. Or becomes a zombie.
We extensively use CloudEvents at my current company. It does a good job standardizing the event structure. It does pose some challenges in statically typed languages when it comes to deserialization of event data. We use typescript, so no complains in that regard.
Well, you can always turn to good ol' piracy. Nobody has to pay for dozen or so streaming services ever. And now you want to shove ads down the throat too. No thanks.

This is my second laptop running as a headless server. I had a shitty consumer i3 2nd gen latop running things just fine. Haven't had any battery hazards. And I live near the equator too.
Laptops make great home servers. I have a Thinkpad (broken display) with i7 8th gen, 16gig ram running quite a few workloads for me 24/7. Due to exorbitan cloud costs, I use it as a sort of staging area for apps from my side projects. Tunnel it to a $4 digital ocean vps and voila you have a serious cloud instance at a fraction of the cost.
One of our clients had a consultancy agreement with TCS. As one of their software vendors, we had to work with some TCS guys. It looked like their job was to make other people's work harder. They were full of work politics, bad mouthing other people, and shit like that. They didn't seem to be good at their job either.
I would consider Firefox if Mozilla wasn't a total sucker for Google's money. They'll get onboard with anything google does sooner or later. As it stands now, I don't see much difference between aligning with either of them.
