max002··on LastPass Login Attempted Activity Blocked – More Information
Thank you very much for bringing me up to speed. And as well to others who provided me with their responses, i kind of get it if you have many machines and even though i'd still try to find best way to sync i understand and appreciate your point of view. I will do read up on links on vaults provided and everything else. Thank you again.
max002··on LastPass Login Attempted Activity Blocked – More Information
Im sorry, but im really missing concept of any cloud/online password manager. I believe this one was hacked some time ago. Obviously the whole thing being online increases attack surface.

Im using KeePassX, when i know i will move/use it on other machine i just transfer it via gdrive or whatever and delete that afterwards.

So... Unless you change your machines constantly or travel all the time and use different machines whats the real benefit of using online password manager? Its not a "nasty" question, im just curious of benefits and hope to get enlighted by people who use it.

max002··on Ask HN: What should I do now as a middle aged developer feeling like a loser?
Keep in mind that E can occupy your mind a bit more than A. Im not a management type, but if you feel good about it go for it. As for l33t code just read couple of books, clean code, design patterns and pragmatic programmer. If you like to code choose a nice framework and get great with it. I understand its hard with kids, but think about it in diff perspective. If sacrificing one hour per day to learn new, well paid tech can get you to make same money or better money in just 4 days instead of 5 in one year, then maybe its worth it? Thats ethernal trade off. Putting more effort when its hard to enjoy early retirement. And keep in mind theres not that many joba where you can work from home and take care of your kids. Devs and it people (not the printer guys) are extremely privilleged we must admit it.
max002··on Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2021?
Surrounded by psychopaths
max002··on Polish opposition duo hacked with NSO spyware
Cuerrent gov is left? Omg. They support and pay money for ultra right organisation and racist movements! Populism is not "left"!
max002··on Linux Has Grown into a Viable PC Gaming Platform and the Steam Stats Prove It
Cant agree, try installing rtx 3090. Even if you manage to there are no games :/
max002··on Ask HN: Can web scraping be the basis of a viable business model?
Sometimes you need custom driver or taking control of real browser (and i mean real browser, not via webdriver), headless is easily detected.
max002··on Ask HN: Can web scraping be the basis of a viable business model?
My only advice would be have a backup plan (redundancy) . I.e. Design basic version that works and dont get blocked as bot, then design another one. This will save you from situation like described below where your original method stopped working, but your client wants data now (because yjey pay for it). And be nice, dont take data you dont need. Keep it easy on servers.
max002··on Ask HN: Can web scraping be the basis of a viable business model?
Amd what if youre scraping data thats... already being scraped? :D
max002··on Ask HN: Can web scraping be the basis of a viable business model?
So for new companies the data (that a lot of time IS publicly available) cost a lot of money, i.e. Api access or charing per requests. A lot of time companies start with scraping and then once they have more customers (and data access price can be shared amongst them) they switch to paying for it.
max002··on Ask HN: Can web scraping be the basis of a viable business model?
From what i know thats how skyscanner started, not sure if ita very popular in US, but it is in Europe. Now they're paying/having deqls for data, but they started with scraping the hell out of airline sites.
max002··on There Is No 'Them'
I tend to get very vary/suspicious of people who tend to use term "them" without specifing who (exactly) them is :) im (so called in my country) "lefty", but i do have some collegeus that are opposite. Ive noticed that when they start to introduce term "them" into discussion the whole thing goes from standard conversion into talking with paranoics :D very nice article, thank you
max002··on Don't start with microservices – monoliths are your friend
Great art, pinning so many pain points.
max002··on 3 lines of code shouldn't take all day
Haha, so true. People are used to old ways. I know its not c++, but If you run docker on mac or Windows for web dev or any other project that has thousanda of deps you know how painful docker sync is and how slow/crash prone. But hey "docker is easy" :)
max002··on Ask HN: Resources for learning how to write more secure code?
Start with owasp top 10
max002··on A Civil War cartoonist created the modern image of Santa Claus (2018)
Before him there was "grandfather freeze" in Russia, in Poland st. Claus from bishop. How he looks? My nephew and niece really dont care :D as long as he brings presents :))))))
max002··on Ask HN: Can you hear other people or music while programming?
I work better with metal, hard rock or trance. As long as its uplifting/fast im more efficient and i get into kind of trance (call it flow if you like it). I cant do the same with people talking. I hear them and it annoys me :D
max002··on I will pay $2000 to the person that connects me with a romantic partner
Btw. Anyone here posting silly comments, laughing off and so on please do f... Off to read how musk met his wife, no1 laughing about him? In past ads like that were normal. If you dont have nothing positive to say and can only do laughter on someone who takes 'novel'/untypical approach youre a very sad sad human being.
max002··on I will pay $2000 to the person that connects me with a romantic partner
Man, you look great (im a man, liking women :D). Just go to local metal/rock meetup/concert and im sure you'll find your romantic partner fast :)
max002··on What happens to developers who never go into management?
Well it depends. I do program in couple of languages, i do re and i still know a bit of assembler. If youve got right skills (sorry guys with just php and js) then i believe its not an issue. That might change, i will let you know when i hit 45 though im planning to be on retirement at that point :) but i do learn constantly, im not sure if thats true for every developer
max002··on What happens to developers who never go into management?
Ive done quite a bit of years in agile and full time office jobds so i've seen some terrible things from full time people (i even got some of them fired because they were straight off *ucking their employers) :) so its a matter of choices and what you want to do, if youre a fordism believer then go ahead and sweat it out. Im on permanent contracts with companies/customers in both Europe and US. Is it so hard to believe that someone is "the captain" of their own ship? Or that you dont need tye sillt standup in the morning if people actually know what theyre doing and delivering great results? I do love to fire customers that are cheap or stresfull or require more than what they want to pay for. Im hiring ppl as well and i dont require from them that, and they deliver 100%. Some times giving ppl more freedom to arrange their work time and life as they want gives you their trust and grattitude and you dont need to worry about keeping them on x to x hour leash.

Btw. Your contract will be as you make it and as your customer sign it. Thats it. Theres no point in labelling contract is this or that. Its unique per situation.

max002··on What happens to developers who never go into management?
I do love your reply :)
max002··on What happens to developers who never go into management?
Yes, in EUrope its much harder to fire employ than contractor. In some countries you need stuff like 3 written warnings and so on
max002··on What happens to developers who never go into management?
I dont (try much harder) :) and as you said, i keep bumping the rates after some time and work is done and customers are happy. No agile meetings (those extras that are not really in agile apirit, but managers think they are :D). I get to work on what i wqnt and when i want. Its fun, but as dev you should be full stack for it or have someone ready to come in when you hit the wall while configuring servers or needing to use some tech that you'd need to learn and its no time/place for learning.
max002··on What happens to developers who never go into management?
Im 35, programming since 15. great dev, never gonna be manager, simply dont want the responsibility and headache. Im good with code, not with managing people who code. The assumption that devs should go into managment seems alien to me :D but nice art
max002··on Ask HN: Framework to explore multiple topics of interest?
If you want to learn a lot/explore a lot of areas i highly recommend spending some time on proper mind mapping (not just same color boxes with same thickness of arrows) those sujbjects. I used to have them drawn and update directly on wall or on paper sheets sticked to the wall. Then you see all that stuff all the tine. CherryTree or mindmaps for logging your day too :D and a paper diary
max002··on Ask HN: Where should I buy my next book?
Safaribooksonline :) jjk, i like the real thong too, dont get angry :)

max002··on ProctorU is dystopian spyware
If your customer is loosing 10k per minute while you google basic linux command youre just being unprofessional dickhead.
max002··on ProctorU is dystopian spyware
Wow... People cheating their way through exams :D hopefully im not gonna ever hire one. Ive met ppl who said they go to interview, lie about their skills and say its 50/50... Usually get kicked out after their lack of knowledge surfaces in a month or two. Gods please save us from ppl who cheat on their IT certs and unis. And on top of that bragging about... 0mf gds, grow up.
