Would opening them in the browser be "more" secure than opening then in a regular PDF viewer program?

In the context of companies: if you don't have your own cache of github,npm, etc., you're doing it wrong.

Doesn't your bank require a mobile app to do "2FA"? If not, what would you do? Change bank?

Agree. Interviews taken into account side projects are biased towards: - people who have free time to work on side projects (usually young people have more free time than people wi…

As someone not familiarized with background checks, why is it weird to do bg checks after handing the offer? If the employer does the bg check before handing the offer, that means …

I'm the only one still listening mp3s? I have a sandisk mp3 player (size similar to the classic ipod shuffle) and I use yandex to get the mp3s. And I transferred all my old CDs to …

Why not both? Keep getting money from employer X, and experiment with your ideas until one works out.

Why only the french market then? Shouldn't they withdraw from all EU markets?

They tried that, but they couldn't because: - my contract says the place of work is city X - they don't have an office in city X - they cannot unilaterally change the contract (Eur…

For Spanish speakers who know English, reading Don Quixote in English is probably easier (and more pleasant). The Spanish one is full of words that even though a native speaker can…

Same. I always work on any given (hard enough) problem twice or three times. The first time I come up with some kind of prototype that may work or not, but it gives me foundation t…

The dragon book is a theoretical book. It's like any other (good) OS book out there: good source of information to know the foundations. After reading it, go out and read something…

We can use ChatGPT for that.

The problem, I think, is what kind of employees may leave. If it's the best of the cream, then the company is in trouble. And frankly, the best employees can allow themselves to sa…

AI should follow the same principle. It has the potential to become as widespread as the web... And yet here we are paying a fee per N tokens to use GPT.

Just hire hundreds of people to manually check the uploads. Easy. Sometimes, some things cannot be automated.

Is not ok, but Microsoft couldn't care less (because they are not going to get fined).

Narrow perspective. What about all the other non-tech jobs?

Even though I know OP lives in US: in Europe you get written down the notice period on your contract. If you decide to quit or if your company decides to fire you, both parties hav…

If you get fired in Switzerland, your employer gives you a notice period of 3 months as well. Which is nice because it's plenty of time to find another job.

I can recommend multipass to run (Ubuntu) VMs on M1. It works out of the box.

> I believe knowing their data-structures and algorithms is the difference between an okay programmer and a good one For me, the difference between and okay programmer and a good o…

But even if the job actually requires solving puzzles like that one, what's the point of asking the candidate to solve it in 45 min? Without googling? That's what it's actually tot…

That's why I don't use Hetzner. I don't really want to handover my passport to any company. How come digital ocean doesn't require that?

I think one disadvantage of putting everything (nginx, web server, database, monitoring tools, etc.) in one machine is that suddenly your machine is exposing a myriad of ports to t…
