Sounds like you are made for a full-remote position
Exactly what I thought.

For anyone unfamiliar with the term: As an example, gaslighting is when Alice and Bob had an argument. Alice slaps Bob in the face. Then, three weeks later, Bob goes back to Alice and asks "why did you slap me during that fight" and Alice would go "That never happened, Bob. You slapped me. Are you insane?" Thus making Bob question his memory and sanity by insisting on a false narrative.

What Facebook is doing is simply trying to lure people, it doesn't mean they are trying to question their sanity.

Re:Russia Is ‘Ready’ to Disconnect from Global Internet on Monday February 01, 2021 @04:32PM (#25994265)
If this is the response to mass protests I wonder which kind of protests will happen in response to this.

This is not just another great firewall of China, this is more like a nation-wide intranet. I do not believe that the Russians are as indoctrinated to this as the Chinese are.

text-transform: uppercase would also have worked I guess. Although .toUpperCase also normalizes
Re:Creating my awesome Windows 10 dev setup on Saturday January 30, 2021 @11:54AM (#25970633)
Windows for development for me is not a question for the filesystem alone.

Deleting a large folder like node_modules seems to take ages on windows as compared to macOS or Linux.

Not a telegram fan at all but their clients are also open source

Of course Facebook is the prime example of user privacy. Throwing stones in a glass house.

My guess was that BTC correlates with the stock market lately and most stocks have seen a pretty big drop in the last days

Apparently they do. See AMC, BB, NOK...

It is pretty damn powerful and quite elegant. What do you find bad about it?
Re:React created roadblocks in our enterprise app on Saturday January 23, 2021 @05:10PM (#25886620)
Yes that I completely true. However, not sure of you know @ngrx/entity but it solves 80% of all business logic I need in a clean way. An most of the time creating services I end up building exactly what the framework gives me

RxJS is not a replacement for redux, in fact ngrx is a redux implementation based on RxJS and Angular. It brings everything, including effects with their own plugins and it is quite a pleasure to work with.

It’s sad that Angular still has a bad reputation from AngularJS. Basically all the pain points the author mentions (deciding on router, DI, http client, working in multiple teams, reliable hot-reload, deciding between class or functional components, whether or not to use hooks) are all things in which angular shines. They could have saved a ton of money here by choosing Angular over react. In fact in comparison over the last 5 years, angular has been much more consistent whereas react has become a scattered mess.
Still a favorite of mine:

Re:Please Stop Encrypting with RSA Directly on Thursday January 21, 2021 @06:04AM (#25857654)
Disclaimer: I am not a cryptography expert at all.

That point about the maximum length of RSA messages is something I encountered while tinkering with encryption for chat purposes. It's dependent on the size of the RSA key. I ended up slicing the string into pieces that were short enough. Seemed to work fine, as long as the array of encrypted slices stays in the same order. For performance reasons though it makes sense to use a RSA/AES hybrid where you encrypt the actual message with AES and then send that AES key along, itself being RSA-encrypted. It took down the time to decrypt large messages such as pictures by a lot!

Still don't trust them at all.

I can also recommend contabo for exceptional pricing and service. They are very quick and friendly to respond. Maybe you can work out a custom plan with them if you contact them.

High-speed, on-ground (or underground) transportation will be the future for the average Joe. While low-orbit flights may be a viable solution to transport for the upper class I bet that a sustainable railroad network will keep the folks moving in the mid term. It is not so hard to get carbon free and yet so effective.

I generally really like DuckDuckGo's widgets. Just typing in currency conversions from and to crypto e.g. has always worked much better for me with them. Happy to have them as my default.
Re:Deno 1.6 supports compiling TypeScript to a single executable on Wednesday December 09, 2020 @06:40PM (#25367151)

I can kind of feel this articles point. Due to some life-changing events and a bipolar disorder I have developed quite some of these dark traits. But they do tend to come and go. I am not proud of them but they did help me establish myself professionally on some levels while dragging me down on others.o My soft side would usually be very sorry and forgiving while the darker side would push my ego.

I had one episode where the darker side took over. I felt like a king, not respecting others opinions on me. For the first time I had this self-esteem which my soft side was lacking. I did actually double my salary with that dark side but ever since I feel completely lonely.

Re:GitHub Dark Mode on Tuesday December 08, 2020 @12:56PM (#25348910)
Just using black often feels like enabling accessibility features for contrast (as iOS has one) but at first glance I feel like the GH version is just fine for me due to the usage of grey instead of white for outlines and fonts.

Feels so much better on the eyes.
