If you elaborate on specific use cases that will be useful. git as a DB I think is not that useful. I'd guess in most cases you'd be better off with sqlite. regarding the collaboration use-case I think it's also not that inte

I think that's the culture in giant companies. In many small companies, - There is no daily standup - There is no weekly posts - There is no RFC - There is no wiki - Uh oh ... there is no FAANG money Everyone already knows who you are

Not bashing your answer but I just want to say a junior-ish developer who has read some of those books and is now overconfident in their skills is one of the worst and most toxic combinations I have ever had to deal with. Knowing very littl

My CPU is still good but my X99 motherboard is not doing too well and I can't seem to find any good replacements for it online. Bunch of dodgy ones on Ebay from China that are probably no better than what I already have. I wish I could

Wow Rogan sounds very realistic. Is the voice completely generated or are some words/phrases "borrowed" from real sample data portions?

I have this strange gut feel that the only reason Google hasn't killed it yet is because they like to "keep" the brilliant people working on it! It seems to be in a bubble and nobody talks about it. Almost like Google is just

Short answer: No. Long answer: No. The price assumes your cashed up employer is paying. It doesn't make sense as a personal expense just for learning.

I think it has become better over the years but as long as I can remember KDE has always had the "Designed but programmers that don't care about design" feel to it.

Apart from the points that the author makes I dislike the disproportionate political activisim because it's just plain cringe and arrogant. When it comes from a multi billion dollar giant it's still annoying but more understandabl

The only secure way of doing it is to somehow crypotgraphically sign it. You'd have to trade that DB lookup with CPU cycles for a signature validation. For example you can use HMAC. You send the UUID and HMAC-of-UUID to the client. The

It is mostly true. The worst part is in this industry even your junior peers will tend to not respect your experience/wisdom. They will view you as a grumpy grandpa who rants about the good old days. Let alone non-peers. Whereas in man

No it's quite an accurate title and I don't think it's inflated. It's not really considered something prestigious.

The fines nowadays have just turned into a price tag for breaking the law. The firms take a look and say "Thanks, I'll take that!".

I know I'm going to get jumped but let's be real it's a cult behaviour that originates from the cult of extreme programming ("XP"). Some of them advocate for 100% "mob programming" (3+ people working toget

There is still a specific case for password rotation which is to periodically rule out the threat of compromised passwords. Meaning, if your password is 10 years old it's subject to any leaks or security events during that long time fr

Valid TOTPs should still only work once when implemented well. And yes it's not easy to exploit. The idea is something like a malware could sit and intercept a successful login then initiate its own session by re-using the MFA code bef

You can also think of that as an evolutionary advantage. Your biology delays the illness until you are more ready to handle it.

There's not enough realistic/true competition for many of these companies. They realise they can do whatever they want and get away with it. So they keep pushing the boundary.

As much as possible avoid providing your phone number to the services that you use. Many of them don't have a separate toggle for phone-based recovery so as soon as you provide the phone you are opting-in for phone-based recovery which

That's nice but I'd also want it for general desktop stuff. So I guess it would have to be sitting on my machine. For example hand gestures to switch the desktop workspace. Swipe left/right motion to switch desktop workspace.

Very impressive. I want something like this so I can bind hand gestures to commands. For example scroll down on a page by a hand gesture.
