I’ll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager’s job seems a lot easier to replace instead.

Perhaps this was written much earlier than v5.

Maybe this is useful https://tunnelbroker.net/

Same. If a newbie can’t get stuck inside, is it even a text editor?

Sorry, probably not.

This is meant to run hosted (like a website), so it needs a server setup.

If it all sounds like gibberish then you don’t understand what a lamp stack or a docker container is it’s unlikely you’ll be able to install it on your own in a way that is useful or that you can maintain for security.

You could possibly hire someone to install it on your behalf - but given that it’s dealing with your finances I would be hesitant to do so.

If you are on Android try the Cashew app - has a paid tier but it’s unlikely you’ll need it and is minimally intrusive.

The Organic Maps app implementation is pretty neat.

All business models are aimed at company profitability. Customer satisfaction is an expensive early necessity which you can largely do away with as you become entrenched.

Unless you want a hosted solution I find pdf-arranger to be lighter and self contained.

I’m assuming it’s aimed at people trying to avoid tying the hosting IP to the publicly consumable service.

Brilliantly described. Just one more thing : be kind to yourself.

You are always listening to your own negative self talk and, if you find yourself in a big hole it can become overwhelming as you oscillate between absolutely abusing yourself, trying not to think about it, and giving up.

You wouldn’t put up with anyone else treating someone you love that way, don’t allow yourself to self-harm that way either.

I was scanning it for the “we’ve been played for ABSOLUTE FOOLS” part.

…the itch wasn’t scratched. :(

The problem is that most of us have swallowed the ‘competence uber alles’ ideal that school fed us through exams and scoring, when the game really is mostly politics (as in interpersonal relationships). So we are understandably disappointed when the incompetent get promoted through brown nosing or luck, when we should be reevaluating the rules of the game.

Fuuck

Yeah. That’s the source of suffering. At some point your bar for good enough is so high nothing brings you joy and all your past “accomplishments” bring you pain.

Exactly: do the task, feel either nothing or like a fraud depending on if it meets your self-imposed ludicrous standard.

News inflation. If everything is “breaking news” all the time, nothing is. There’s no space for discussion or action - we’re just looking for the next “hit”.

What’s the downside for them? They either win big or things stay roughly the same and they might pay some extra tax but not much. No one (of them) is losing their bulk of their wealth or their freedom. Might as well roll the dice.

No probably about it.

Mechanical watches lose 10-15 secs per day which declines as they get older or aren’t serviced, a $40 Casio might miss 30 secs per month, never needs servicing other than a battery change.

Mechanical watches are no longer utility items, they are fashion items that happen to tell time.

From someone with a passing interest, Krita seems on a similar trajectory to Blender - gathering momentum and going from strength to strength, whereas Gimp seems rather stuck.

Ideally you need a double-blind checking mechanism definitionally impervious to social engineering.

That may be possible in larger projects but I doubt you can do much in where you have very few maintainers.

I bet the lesson here for future attackers is: do not affect start-up time.
