Install a 3rd party launcher if you want to get rid of those too

I like the idea, but I can’t come up with any method that won’t devolve into most reviewers only checking the highlighted parts tbh.

No, this is actually the first time I’m hearing that this exists unfortunately.

I was obsessed with making variations of it on TI calculators in high school lol

I did recently discover you can turn off “Web and App Activity” for your Google account, which seems to disable Google saving most of your data (searches, viewed places, etc), for what that’s worth. It definitely cripples Google maps even more than I think it should, since now I can’t even search for labels I’ve added to Google maps myself.

I’ve been meaning to try Organic Maps as well, but haven’t even gotten around to installing it yet.

1. Android has motion photos, which i think is on by default and is more or less the same as live photos.
2. This is just a coincidence, I know Apple maps is good these days, but just the other day my friend was using Apple maps to guide us and it hallucinated a restaurant wholesale. Like, this location for this restaurant has never existed as far as we can tell.

I think someone else said what it actually is in another comment. It’s functionally identical 90℅ of the time for me anyway,and I use CLI and vim on it.

It works fine for small projects. I think that with more than 2-3 devs a PR based strategy works better for enforcing review and just makes life easier in general, since you end up with less stuff like force pushes to fix minor things like whitespace errors that break everyone’s local.

If it’s a private repo I don’t worry too much about forking. Ideally branches should be getting cleaned up as they get merged anyway. I don’t see a great advantage in every developer having a fork rather than just having feature/bug branches that PR for merging to main, and honestly it makes it a bit painful to cherry-pick patches from other dev branches.

Everywhere I’ve worked, you have a Windows/Mac for emails, and then either use WSL, develop on console in Mac since it’s Linux, or most commonly have a dedicated Linux box or workstation.

I’m starting to see people using VSCode more these days though.

The Android TV app isn’t great either. I just cast to the TV from the mobile app, which is still slightly buggy but generally works fine.

I didn’t realize just how siloed my perspective may be haha, I appreciate the statistics. I’ll agree that cyber security is a concern in general, and honestly everyone I know in industry has at least a moderate knowledge of basic cyber security concepts. Even in embedded, processes are evolving for safety critical code.

… You know not all development is Internet connected right? I’m in embedded, so maybe it’s a bit of a siloed perspective, but most of our programs aren’t exposed to any realistic attack surfaces. Even with IoT stuff, it’s not like you need to harden your motor drivers or sensor drivers. The parts that are exposed to the network or other surfaces do need to be hardened, but I’d say 90+% of the people I’ve worked with have never had to worry about that.

Caveat on my own example, motor drivers should not allow self damaging behavior, but that’s more of setting API or internal limits as a normal part of software design to protect from mistakes, not attacks.

My take was that they’re talking more about a script kiddy mindset?

I love designing good software architecture, and like you said, my object diagrams should be simple and clear to implement, and work as long as they’re implemented correctly.

But you still need knowledge of what’s going on inside those objects to design the architecture in the first place. Each of those bricks is custom made by us to suit the needs of the current project, and the way they come together needs to make sense mathematically to avoid performance pitfalls.

I was gonna say, the OP here sounds perfectly good at computers. Most people either have so little knowledge they can’t even start on solving their printer problem no matter what, or don’t have the problem solving mindset needed to search for and try different things until they find the actual solution.

There’s a reason why specific knowledge beyond the basic concepts is rarely a hard requirement in software. The learning and problem solving abilities are way more important.

I assumed they misunderstood how a 4 1/2 year master’s program works, since the masters part is technically only half a year on paper. But I don’t think that necessarily makes sense in context…

I’ve been using this pretty happily for at least a decade. https://www.exotac.com/collections/key-accessories/products/freekey-system

The Adobe photography plan costs me $120 a year, and honestly includes more useful updates than not. Their AI masking upgrades the last couple years are saving me hours to days of editing time per photo session.

$120 a year is worth maybe one hour of my free time. Even just migrating to Darktable would take me weeks or months of dedicated time to migrate my existing catalog.

For a person making $30,000 a year, a $1,000 fine could mean very significant impacts on their daily life.

For a person making $30,000,000 a year, a $1,000,000 fine may mean they can’t afford an extra Ferrari.

For a person “making” $30,000,000,000 a year, a $1,000,000,000 fine may mean they can’t… Buy another island? You still have $29,000,000,000 that you can do who knows what with. This is the entire GDP of some countries. I also don’t know if this one is a realistic example.

Anyway, proportional is nice, but really you need a progressive system to really match the weight of punishments, as far as impacting your daily life or happiness.
