And Little Snitch and TripMode, and various other apps and *nix command line tools lol

This was really interesting, thanks for posting! I thought I already knew all of the internal details, but looks like some things have changed since the 32 bit days and also as new features were introduced over the years, and I realized I never really knew the internals of toll free bridging either.

I was surprised the prices aren’t even that much higher than single actuator drives of the same size. I might be picking a few of these up for my next capacity increase.

I’m glad they shut it down. An inaccurate tool is worse than no tool, especially if teachers are using it to check student essays and punishing students for false positives…

Even just more generally, people were trusting these detection tools not realizing how inaccurate they were, which causes huge problems both due to false positives and false negatives. Better to remove the useless tools now and work on a better solution, if one is even possible which I’m not sure it is.

That’s the problem, a lot of CS professors never worked in the industry or did anything outside academia so they never learned those lessons…or the last time they did work was back in the 90s lol.

Doesn’t help that most universities don’t seem to offer “software engineering” degrees and so everyone takes “computer science” even if they don’t want to be a computer scientist.

You shouldn’t pad your resume with certificates at all.

I view all of them equally negatively in the sense that I don’t care about them at all. When I’m hiring I’m looking at experience, not pieces of paper (certs or degrees). More corporate companies probably do care more though, at least in the automated portion of their hiring funnel.

Though with that said, from anecdotal experience, a lot of certifications tends to be a red flag as I’ve found those to usually be the weakest candidates.

For standard software development jobs I think they’re completely unnecessary, but I could see something like an AWS cert being valued for a dev-ops job though I’ve never hired for dev-ops so I can’t speak from experience there…

It could have just said: c++ programming

I guess it’s not so much “hosting” as having it on your home NAS with some scripts to backups channels and videos that you like. At least that’s what I do.

Thought I should make a point to mention youtube-dl is dead, yt-dlp is the replacement and it works great. Even has a command line flag to make its options work the same as the options in youtube-dl so it can be a drop in replacement for existing scripts.

I haven’t don’t much programming in Rust yet, but just based on the syntax and apparent complexity (at least it looks quite complex to an outsider like me) it always seemed more like “C++ but better” rather than “C but better”.
