If you haven't used any source control at all, I don't see why svn would be easier to understand than git? Using git will save you from a lot of pain up ahead so I would definitely go for git.

Hehe, seeing this I thought "Cool, this is exactly how Spotify handles separation between the GUI frontend and the backend in the Spotify app" and then I saw the organization name in the URL.. doh!

Actually, __FUNCTION__ won't work as it only expands to the name of the function, not any templates or arguments. It's actually a pretty clever way to automagically deduce not only names of variables but also of enums :). Too ba

Hehe, when teaching my 8yr-old programming (in Python) I call (function call) parenthesis a hug to explain that a function "hugs" all arguments to it. She seems to get that :).

Without knowing almost anything about Firefox Send, it does seem that the key is embedded in the link you give to your friends. In that case E2E means that the key is not stored on the server. In order to guarantee that, the link is proba

This is the case with all E2EE tools. You have to trust that they do their crypto correct and that they aren't evil. As Firefox Send is open source you can setup your own server if you don't trust Mozilla, but then again, if you

> In a web app, a single compromised server will compromise all security instantly. This is only true if the server has access to the keys of your data. E2EE typically means that it doesn't, only you do.

Some ideas can be great in the small even if they won't scale. Not everything needs to be built for massive scale.

There seems to be a conflation of toxic and productive which I don't think is necessarily true. In my case the most toxic coworker I ever had was one who was notoriously unproductive but managed to kiss upwards and kick downwards in wa

I'll give you the benefit of a doubt that you are arguing the general case, but I'm talking about this case specifically. If all you need to do to access the data is to just browse to a specific address, it matters not whether

So your reasoning goes that if I leave the front door to my home open, it would still be more secure if it had steel bars on the windows?

If I record a phone call between you and me, then put said recording on pastebin or what not, can you honestly blame your phone company or mine?

Still, sending the data unencrypted wasn't so much the issue here as the server was open to anyone.

Not sure it's the right thing(tm) to do but I generally make it "worse" for both of them if they ask me to solve their fights. E.g. if they fight and shout "Mom! Dad!" I'll tell them "Great that you'r

> Other commands like stash, checkout and branch are equally simple Ok, so they are the simple because you say so? Stash in all but the simplest cases is a sure-fire way to shoot yourself in the foot. Checkout is a weird guy, he does too

Ah, irony. Or maybe you could explain what's intuitive about the number of completely different things that for instance 'git checkout' is used for? I like git, but the cli is only usable after a dash and a spoonful of aliase

It may work well to purge the civil service of those not loyal to Trump, but it will also work to purge the civil service of the most competent workers.

Git is after all designed for this distributed scenario, so you'd think it would be possible, what about something like: Setup: git add remote gitlab ... git add remote github ... Then whenever you need to sync: git

BLE has support for encrypted communication so should be ok, at least in theory.

My thoughts exactly. I've mostly worked in small companies with tiny engineering teams but I've had a go at some larger companies as well. Personally I thrive in the small companies and wither in the large ones. In the small compa

I was asked in a Spotify interview to reverse a string as a warm up. When I wrote std::string(s.rbegin(), s.rend()) the interviewers seemed pleasantly surprised.
