It isn't a wrinkly mess, it's character.

It's a 70's permission system designed for 70's style computer usage - ie one computer shared by many people, with a relatively high level of trust among all the users.

The app works, and you can ask it why its website is down.

Back in my day... never mind.

In my 26 years of experience I can say that's the only way to advance in this industry. Programmers are just cogs in the machine no matter their skill level. A lesson I wish I learned much earlier. I grew up with a mid-western "loyalty" mindset, and it cost me many years of fair pay.

No. But with hype comes lots of grift, and this is that.

dot com grift, crypto grift, AI grift. The gift is always the same, just the first name changes.

Depends on where you live. In most of the US if you don't have a car you'll be spending hours a day on busses. You have no freedom - you are either sleeping or commuting or working. You can't sleep less, you can't work less. But you can commute fewer hours a day with a car.

Walkable/bikeable places exist in some cities, but are reserved for the rich.

As for the costs of owning a car - these are real, but the cost of not owning a car is much greater. As electric cars filter down to the used market cost of car ownership will also drop a fair amount.

polyfilling and minification both belong on the ash heap of js development technologies.

This article is absolutely worthless conspiracy theory nonsense.

These scenarios are so rare as to not be worth the money or effort. Meanwhile people don't take the slightest effort to defend against things ruin lives on a wide scale - saving for retirement, exercising, eating healthy food, quitting toxic (jobs|relationships|habits)...

I suspect it means the message only exists client side, and they are able to detect that somehow. So if you browse away, or refresh, or whatever, it is gone.

OpenAI etc will be paying irresistible sums of money to companies that promised to keep data private. Think slack (and their recent "opt out" fiasco), Atlassian, Dropbox...

That jet fuel wasn't going to stay in the ground or anything if these people don't fly. Sure - they contribute to to burning it up slightly faster than if there were no private planes, but rest assured people are going to burn everything that burns, until there are no more people.

How so? All you need is money, and maybe a bit more time.

Yes - it is well known there is no "secret investing sauce" - this has been proven over and over. The only people who tell you otherwise are people with something to sell you, or people who have tricked themselves into believing otherwise. This kind of stuff pops up whenever the market is on a tear.

PG can handle billions of rows for certain use cases, but not easily. Generally you can make things work but you definitely start entering "heroic effort" territory.

It appears slow, but tests show it completes most tasks more quickly, accurately, and with less complaining, than most members of the gen z cohort.

I couldn't not look at the timer. I lasted 10 seconds.

I program almost every weekday for money, less vacation, and some days that are just code review and thinking, and I have been for over 20 years.

I think you would typically need a physical ID, not a picture, and one person couldn't tip the scales in any election.

More likely you would use them to gain access to someone's accounts and steal their money/credit/etc.

The AVP is not transparent like a windshield. They make it look like transparent ski googles, but it isn't. It has cameras pointing forward, and it displays that on the screen inside the headset. So all kinds of things will go wrong - the display can lag, freeze, turn off, etc. It would be like driving down the highway in reverse using only your backup camera.

The complications are intentional. It doesn't need to be this way, but the job of a VC is to screw workers out of as much money as possible, as quickly as possible. Complex deals are one tool in the toolbox.

Yes, US engineers tend to be better. In India engineering is not a prestigious career. It is a stepping stone to management. So few Indian engineers stay in the profession long enough to get good.

If by "expand beyond planet" you mean bilk investors out of billions of dollars pretending you have a plan to "expand beyond the planet" then yes.

First of all, they are both just javascript - so to say you are "learning from scratch" isn't accurate - you must already know js. Second - choosing a tool based on "what is best for beginners" not a good way to choose a tool. If you are using something daily you'll only be "beginner" for a few weeks, intermediate for a year or two, and expert for many years (assuming you continue to work in that space). So choose the tool you enjoy using the most, and is a good "expert" level tool.

React and Vue are both quality "expert" level tools, so you should choose based on other criteria. If you really need a job go with react (there are 4x more react jobs than vue jobs on indeed in my area). If vue really clicks with your style of thinking maybe go with vue.

Finally just pick one and get started. They really aren't that different, and if you are in the industry long enough you'll learn many languages and frameworks. Also I would be surprised if React or Vue stay popular much longer - though there will always be work on legacy apps (hello cobol, php, spring, .net, rails, ....) Also the more experience you have the faster you can learn new things. It doesn't matter much which is you first - you aren't getting married!

As for personal experience, I've used both lightly. For each, after a few hours of going through the docs/tutorials I was productive enough to get work done in a production application. Often my code was better than the "experienced" front end devs because I have 20+ years of generalist experience, and I actually read the docs (you would be surprised how many full time react/vue devs have never read the documentation - just learned bits and pieces on youtube, etc).

They are both pretty simple. The complexity mostly comes from the users of the frameworks adding unnecessary complexity to their own applications due to bad architecture, not fully understanding the frameworks (didn't RTFM), and trying to push the frameworks beyond their sweet spots.

Thanks! I've literally had this tab pinned for years. It is awesome.

The current crop of execs grew up watching Star Trek TNG - a flying office building where everyone lives for their work and you could sound a klaxon and everyone scrambles to the conference room. Also everyone loves and is willing to die for the leader. That's all you need to know.

> The incentives in infosec are weird.

Well - only the amateur infosec world where you try and force someone to be your client after you do the work, and then get butthurt when they don't become your client.

In the professional infosec world the clients choose to hire you first.

The best approach is not to do it. Demanding money from someone that didn't hire you is never ethical - just childish. Would you like it if I showed up at your house, mowed your lawn, and then started banging on your door demanding $100 for mowing your lawn?

Also, what marketing value - if you're just pwning random web sites rather than getting hired to test a site's security you aren't in any market.
