Companies have no incentive to bring you on full time, either. They can lie and tell you that you will at the end of the term, but it'll either be met with "we do not need this position anymore" or continual contract extensions because the market is suddenly unfavorable, there's no headcount, or some other excuse.

Not always: https://meltingasphalt.com/neurons-gone-wild/ though that’s going a bit off-topic.

And, I believe that the distinction with what was mentioned is akin to, say, an actor on stage embracing or embodying the role of a character they are about to perform.

I thought Better Call Saul was an AMC show?
Re:Twitter was down on Thursday July 11, 2019 @03:46PM (#20415055)
Reminds me so much of The Best Page in the Universe.
There's a few articles that go into a loosely defined faulting area dubbed the Walker Lane[1][2][3] in which it's theorized that the East Pacific Rise (a rift), under the Gulf of California, may be expanding directly north. I know some geologists were surprised at first at the 7.4 Landers earthquake in 1994, and the article goes into that the Walker Lane seems to follow US 395, so I wonder if this is just a continuing extension of geologic activity associated with it.

Re:996, GitHub, and China's digital workers rights awakening on Wednesday April 10, 2019 @09:28PM (#19630331)
Apparently tweeting the 996.icu website from the official Twitter Android/iOS clients causes it to refuse to send at all. You don't even need to be in China to see the result, because it blacklists the link globally. It allows the link on web and 3rd party clients, though.[1]

I have been in both red team and blue team security positions, and I'm comfortable being in a lot of tech stacks in reading code and adapting to whatever the company focuses on. I've also written a quick intercepting proxy with TLS support (in Node.js... that was interesting to work on) to capture WebSocket traffic as a part of pentesting, which I presented a couple of years ago at Black Hat Arsenal 2017. I've mentored employees in a blue team role on application security best practices. I'm open to security engineering or security consulting positions, minus software engineering or adjacent roles thereof. I am looking primarily for remote work due to an injury.

Re:Best apps for writers on Sunday March 24, 2019 @01:32AM (#19474572)
On a tangent: one of the things that's been really difficult is trying to find a writing app that is sync-friendly with a co-writer, as me and a couple of close friends work together on scripts for a comic.

That is to say, I want to do a file sync with Dropbox or any other service/application, and the co-writer or co-writer(s)/artist(s) can also either get it, or be notified there's a new version, and not suffer any accidental overwrites or loss of data.

(Scrivener is an option, and it's apparently Git friendly for that purpose, so we have that going for now. Google Docs and Etherpad Lite are not acceptable/usable replacements either.)

Re:What do you dislike about React Native? on Friday December 14, 2018 @05:31PM (#18685497)
I'm a little late to reply. I use Discord and Slack a lot which uses RN but I've noticed that there are frame stutters when scrolling or when viewing gifs, and other chat applications like Telegram (native) do not have this problem. The stuttering is how I notice if they're using RN or not here.
Re:What do you dislike about React Native? on Thursday December 06, 2018 @03:45PM (#18622032)
A few friends and I have noticed that applications that are using React Native, even in the best of situations in optimizing, it still drains battery life faster (sometimes far faster) than something written in Java/Kotlin or ObjC/Swift.
