I use Revolut. It generally works well but I distrust them after they arbitrarily froze my account for ~3 days and never explained why. I didn’t have any cash on me at the time and had to actually starve

Sure but if you’re coming in to learn computer science or software engineering, you should at least know how to use a computer. I’m really baffled how the system fails to filter them out. I’m not being malicious towards them, most drop out

If this causes a blue screen on login/boot, it’s hard for me to see a way to deploy a fix organization-wide since it doesn’t really give time for remediation to run before the crash. I’ve never been part of a large org before; is this

Impressive if true. Unfortunately not open source and scarce on exact details on how it works Edit: not sure why I just sort of expect projects to be open source or at least source available these days.

I think a major problem is the abundance of entertainment in modern times. Rather than hacking out of curiosity and for fun, there are so many substitutes like games and social media that a high number of young developers simply don’t feel

I also hate selfie based authentication because some tasks it asks for “liveliness checks” are downright impossible for some people. For example, my smile simply doesn’t pass as a one for some reason and has prevented me from getting a bank

WiGLE severely rate limits their APIs and don’t even allow normal people to pay for more access. They refuse to provide a data dump since they sell it for enterprise. No academic access either. People literally spend their time mapping APs

I really don’t understand why they do such airdrops. I got $300 from Starknet for doing nothing and immediately sold it. From what I understand, their community is pretty pissed that some randos got more money than they did despite actually

There are so many things sites need to protect against these days it’s making independent self hosting quite annoying. As bots get better at hiding, only companies with huge scale like Cloudflare would be able to identify and block them. DD

Race doesn’t tell you much about a patient’s possible afflictions. While there may be some predispositions, there is also a lot more nuance than the color of their skin. Environmental factors play a much larger role (e.g “Chinese” Malaysian

No it still works, just completely bypassing your environment variables and/or proxychains. I spent a good few days when it first came out trying to integrate it into neovim but ultimately gave up since it was too much work and I don’t

Run MITM. There are parts of the code that disregards proxies, so you also need to extract the resources and replace URLs to a reverse proxy you control with logging. It’s an electron app so it’s quite easy to poke around in
