what’s really federation on a system that isolates conversations per server? can you reply to a message from one server on another? maybe the main thing would be single account, because even friend lists from multiple accounts could be merged

I think you’re overestimating how much services care about retro-compatibility of clients. Try opening a YouTube video in the iPhone 6 app, you can’t, and not because the video is now incompatible, it’s because the old app has not been updated, and YouTube changed their API, so even if the software doesn’t change, services are not being provided to it. Same will happen to the Tesla app, Navigation, Netflix, everything that relies in external services to work. Sure, the car features will probably still work, but in the case of navigation, for example, even if it uses an offline database of maps and it calculates routes directly on the car’s hardware, new versions of the maps will not be available, or, routes might not be able to be calculated.

I wonder if in the future, installing your own software in the car will become illegal: given that car software can even control transmission, a car manufacturer could argue that it could compromise safety of the vehicle and pedestrians, an unsafe car framework could mean that someone can potentially program the car to accelerate when frontal sensors detect someone, to be a bit extreme, but don’t tell me its impossible.

what I’m saying is that there’s no path of thought and desire that goes “oh man, I feel so good that I want to celebrate by smoking this thing”, when you say that it starts socially, I wonder how much of the need one feels to smoke is derived from social pressure, anxiety at the thought of not fitting in, or fear of missing out, or simple boredom.

I agree with every advice given here, I’d just add that you need to be proactive: in some interviews you’ll be given a very lax list of requirements and that means that your capacity for risk assessment is being tested, you need to ask questions so that those very lax requirements slowly become very specific requirements. Risk assessment also play a part when you’re determining scaling, security, and deployment concerns, and you win a lot of points by at least mention them, that’s what is expected of you as an engineer with experience. Maybe you’re interviewing for a junior position and the interviewer will say “don’t worry about that for now”, but what if he’s expecting you to worry and you didn’t?

are you saying that there’s no organized crime in Brazil?

correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s up to 1000 in Spanish, right? I’m wondering if I’m saying 9 right.

I used Skype a lot to call landlines from outside the US, but now I need a replacement, do any of you have recommendations? I’m testing Rebtel, but it isn’t cutting it for me, it connects like 1 out of 5 times.

my theory is that (most) people want their money’s worth. if you have two phones, one bigger than the other, but you don’t know the prices of each, the perceived value of the bigger one is higher, even in they’re both the same price you wouldn’t assume right away that the bigger one had to cut things out to offset the bigger display.

phones are also a big gift item, and people are not concerned with niche likes in those cases.

I’d say that the increased popularity of foldable phones currently speak of our desire of smaller phones (my partner at least says it’s the reason she loves hers) with a higher perceived value. I hope marketing departments are taking the right notes from these and not that foldable is better.

you guys got those too?! 🥲

just don’t drink dishwasher

I love the Cerritos being in this collection. If a nu-trek show needs all the appreciation of their audience is Lower Decks. I’ll never lose hope that there will be a comeback.

1. Odin Sphere

you have access to the internet, an eng degree and you at least write English fairly well. Are you looking for only local jobs? how about remote opportunities? Many companies will hire remote work with no experience, there’s also job brokers, where you are hired for a project and then moved to another. These are by no means the best kind of job, but they can get you back on your feet.

I stopped watching after the Head & Shoulders commercial

those are 20th century

I read through the docs of pygit2, how is it too low level compared to using direct console output?

if you need complex workflows, couldn’t they be built over the convenience of the library?

all good! :pixelated-hug-emoji:

I was taking about icon packs. I didn’t know about the Memphis designers, thanks for the nice write-up
