I was struggling to find a job and my friend looked at my resume and was like, dude you need to put more bullshit there, add a bunch of stuff, even if it’s fake, no one cares, everyone does it. After so much rejection I was willing to try anything, fortunately a company hired me just around those days. But next time I’ll probably have to take his advice…

Yes indeed it’s pretty technical and content-heavy. It helped me that I took a class in university that covered many of the topics, still a few things went over my head. Maybe it’s time I do a re-read of selected chapters

If you’re asking for real, Designing Data-Intensive Applications is probably the best I’ve ever read (if you’re into that kind of thing)

I remember when I got here it was a nightmare for the first few months when I didn’t have strong auth. It took several months to open a bank account and you basically can’t do anything without that stuff

Oh yes this QR code bullshit drives me nuts back home too

Been thinking of trying this. Thing is nobody uses cash anymore around here (Nordics). In supermarkets I know for sure I can use cash, but restaurants, bars or small business it’s going to be hit and miss. I guess I’d have to endure the awkwardness of asking in every single place if they take cash or not

“Your friends and family understand what you do”

Sounds like JavaScript

Just a little nitpicking, O(N+10) and O(2N) are not “effectively” the same as O(N). They are truly the same.

Oh man I hadn’t seen a git checkout -b in years haha since they introduced switch and restore, never looked back

Can relate. With colleagues we have daydreamed about opening a bar, a bakery, a hostel on the beach, yet we’re all still here, pressing buttons to make the lights on the screen change.

You need to add the repository to fdroid

Been using it for over 6 months and I’ve found it’s everything I personally needed. I’ll be buying the lifetime plan next.

If you’re asking about the encryption, they publish a whitepaper on their website with the details. I can’t really comment on that since I’m no expert. But I did a quick online search back then and found good comments so decided to trust them.

Wait, so it’s either targeted ads or pay? Damn… Silly me thinking if you don’t pay you still could opt out of targeted ads.

But yeah, isn’t this against GDPR?

Damn, is it really like that now? I created my accounts for IG, Google, Discord, years ago and without a number. I refuse to provide it when they ask now and never had an issue.

Looks promising, I’ll try it out. Thanks!

Snowden

Because it’s privacy focused. Also because it’s not based on Chromium. It’s the only one keeping us from having a Google browser monopoly
