A collection of information security essays and links to help growing teams manage risks. I found these helpful.

The agency was a JS abusing their client so idk why you would just lash out at new great technologies when they weren't part of this.

Nix documentation is such a clusterfuck. You have to basically forage some kind of "most up2date understanding" of basic best practices from random ass blogposts / digging into other people's configs. This is a major red

I guess it used to be more of a problem before languages started shipping their own linters and code styles (like Rust does), or agreed to use a single tool. Kind of a legacy artifact.

Maybe I chose the wrong word. It is intentional result of the policies, so how can there be a 'crisis'? Everyone knew where the path would lead, so how can there be such a thing as surprise, as if it were an accident?

"Crisis" is the wrong word to use when the actions taken by governments and endorsed by the democratic voters logically lead you to the obvious conclusions. Sure, we have a hilariously rocketing energy prices. But this is not an a

Can't do that when Firefox simply isn't good enough. Vivaldi beats it in features and what I need from browser as a power-user.

Of course the rules don't get applied to Western companies, that is a ridiculous proposition: to ask a state to limit its own power. > The problem should be that the data is collected and provided to the government whenever they wa

It is underrated how hard it was Microsoft with VSCode that made e.g. Language Server a mandatory / must have for any non-joke language.

The 'hardest' part is realizing that basically everyone reasons this way unless taught otherwise. The books do a lot of hard work to cover this up.

I use Vivaldi, it is slowest of them all, but it is the best browser overall ime.

I doubt companies would hire interns (here, internships are paid at roughly junior wages) if they didn't create value.

Build a system. That's how you learn.

Sometimes you don't want to use `?` though, not every function is made to return a Result / Option.

It stops when NATO deploys there. NATO will not deploy there. So, more sanctions I guess. It is immoral if any EU citizen has heating this winter when that could be going to Ukraine.

How are you in charge of not giving or giving some East European watering holes to Russia? Can you establish the set of facts here. I can tell that a real NATO deployment to D & L would dramatically change the strategic goal setti

The sanctions do nothing to stop this. They're not acting like they're a marketing firm that gets shocked because of some red in the GDP, they're on a war footing. That will only react to, you guessed it, equal force (war).

It is moralistic because moral hysteria ("goons raping children") is driving the fate of the entire trade block right now, your post was a perfect example. Poor, lights out EU with 10-20% inflation will not in fact be a 'stro

Yeah, so you build nuclear reactors and raise the standard of living in that case, which would be the exact opposite of what EU is doing (recommendations to reduce energy density and carrying capacity, ie. you own nothing and will be happy)

It is absurd that we're having "energy crisis" when we have the technological know-how to build nuclear energy, literally a solved problem.

I am not even using hindsight though. Even in Feb 1st you'd have to be ignorant to think the self-sanction regime will do anything.
