Is the Blind the only acceptable place to have this discussion?

I am a little sad that there's no conclusion after the introduction of the spectrum, which most people are already aware of.

I would like to recommend checking out /r/ExperiencedDevs/[0] on Reddit. It's a much better place than most other general cs subreddits because the questions are from and geared towards senior engineers.

This comes to my attention at a really convenient time. As a teenager, I initially got interested in Computer Science due to cryptography. Over a decade later, I've gotten into the subject for the first time since then.

For the last few days, I've been writing my own encryption for fun even though it's 100% not secure enough or powerful. My belief is that even though it's not super useful, the experience of attempting to write one is teaching me a lot more than I would have by simply studying it.

Hey, thanks for this; but on hover, they all show up as `undefined:undefined`. I'm on Firefox 96.0(64-bit), if that's any help.

Take a look at Tiny Acquisitions[0]. I stumbled upon it on Product Hunt a few months back, and is possibly a good fit for your needs. All the best! [0]https://tinyacquisitions.com/home

Thank you! I appreciate this. I picked up software development to build my startups, but now realize that working at a FAANG has immediate benefits to me - financial and social; as well long lasting benefits - better opportunities, peer network, etc.

I've been looking for something like this. I'd rather read this crass/vulgar document than a 250 page books on algorithms and practice leetcode without a direction. This also seems to be full of insider knowledge and your review makes me feel much more positive towards it. Here's to making this year count.

There are a limited number of ways you can link your images on a Github README. The format is the same for all methods.


1. You might upload to a bucket online and link them individually.

2. Upload the images to your Github repo in a folder and relatively link them.


3. Edit your README on the WYSIWYG editor on Github itself and paste the images using Ctrl+V. Github will automatically host and link the image in your file.

I hope this has been helpful!

I'm not the OP but I wanted to reply to a couple of your queries about life in India.

What do you use when baking sweet pastries? Crushed sugar cubes? :D

When OP says sugar cubes, he doesn't mean the sugar cubes you might be thinking (large cubes of sugar used for tea, or fed to horses), although that is something found pretty ubiquitously out here too. Our sugar generally comes in a grain-like consistency shaped as tiny cubes measuring about 1-2mm squared, in general. A simple Google search for "India sugar" should provide visual reference. This is a personal anecdote but the size of these sugar grains vary in size based on how expensive they are. More expensive = finer sugar.

At my home, we either use icing sugar or powder the sugar in a spice grinder attachment on our blenders. That's how I prefer my sugar, just so much easier to work with. Wish it was more common around.

Again I don't know what the limits are over there.

We don't have any limits, AFAIK, but that's mostly because without a PIN/OTP, no one is going to get any money out of your debit/credit card. I should mention I've used my card on a few US/EU-based websites and didn't need to input any PIN/OTP so it's still possible.

You can only live in the past for so long. To bystanders, you're falling behind by being cynical and ignorant of newer solutions.

Don't get me wrong. The world still uses the technology you mentioned at large, but the industry has in-fact built upon and grown alongside older technology.

I really want Pieters to write about the thousands of robots that do stuff in the background.

You can use Nomad List[0] to get an idea of possible options. Eastern Europe, South America, South East Asia are all viable options with vibrant communities with people like you.

I am so glad I invested in an Oculus Quest 2 recently. So far, I've been having so much fun just exploring the various things to do in VR.

I initially bought this to explore UI/UX for VR, but with AR, it opens up the technology and my personal research to a whole slew of challenges.

I like using Nvidia Shadowplay to do any video recording on my screen.

I obviously haven't finished reading the entire post, but I wanted to simply appreciate the hard work that has gone into this. I absolutely love interactive articles. Great job!

The Government pretty much caused this.

You might want to let your customers know that explicitly on the Store page.

Nonetheless, fantastic idea and good work.

How to reclaim RAM from Vmmem when you're not using Windows Subsystem on Linux)WSL.

TL;DR Takeaway

WSL does use a really low amount of RAM but it is allocated about 4GB by default when it is started. If you think that’s too much and would like to decrease it, Windows Insider Build 18945 brough customizable settings for wsl.

Create a %UserProfile%\.wslconfig file and use it to limit memory assigned to WSL2 VM.

```

[wsl2] kernel=<path> # An absolute Windows path to a custom Linux kernel.

memory=<size> # How much memory to assign to the WSL2 VM.

processors=<number> # How many processors to assign to the WSL2 VM.

swap=<size> # How much swap space to add to the WSL2 VM. 0 for no swap file.

swapFile=<path> # An absolute Windows path to the swap vhd.

localhostForwarding=<bool> # Boolean specifying if ports bound to wildcard or localhost in the WSL2 VM should be connectable from the host via localhost:port (default true).

# <path> entries must be absolute Windows paths with escaped backslashes, for example C:\\Users\\Ben\\kernel # <size> entries must be size followed by unit, for example 8GB or 512MB

```

Therefore, in your situation, all you need to include in your file is ⤵

`

[wsl2] memory=1GB

`

Customize it as necessary with the available options.

Tell me something new.

Censorship has been happening in pockets on Reddit for years now.

That's just awful.These deep rooted issues plague so many good movements around our country.

Hi Pieter,

Thank you for sharing your story again.

I am one of your biggest admirers and you have been a constant source of inspiration for me for a very long time. I'm currently working on my MVP to do something similar to you.

Thank you so much for everything. Hope to catch up for coffee or something when it all clears.

I really liked the beta but the pricing is just unfeasible for me specially when there's GraphViz.

Give it a minute or two, after you press start. Also, try a different browser.

Very impressive! Could we get a demonstration or screenshots?

Very interesting! Congratulations on building that.

I intake WSB content like any other meme sub.

The site helps you figure out what glue works best to attach two items to each other. It provides links to glues/compounds, and also has helpful tips to help you better.

-------------------------------------------------

From their Philosophy page:

"We are here to help you choose the right glue for your bonding requirements. We are committed to keeping current with the adhesive market, but we don't claim to know everything about every glue on the market. We recommend the glues that we have found work best for us. We do know one thing for sure: there is no such thing as the All Purpose glue. Every glue has its pros and cons. The secret to a successful bonding challenge is to consider the following glue philosophy:

The primary principle of glue is much like any relationship in that the adhesive must fit the adherend. (Kinda Zen, eh?) All glues work best when aided with a physical attachment. When ever possible the combination of glue and a screw, nail or staple, a glue and a joint, a glue and stitching or binding, will guarantee a successful bond.

Any glue is only as strong as the weakest material in the bonding union. There is no point in using a glue stronger than the materials you are bonding.

The success of a bond is dependent on the amount of surface area. The more surface area you are able to incorporate, the stronger the bond.

Always use the least toxic material that meets your bonding requirements.

Understanding how a glue works will help you choose the right glue for the job. The manufacturer knows their glue better than the cashier at the hardware store. Reading the label thoroughly will help you know if a glue is appropriate for your needs. Also, many glues have a help line or a website. We have found some sites for you."

I am waiting to purchase this : Nokia 2720 Flip [1]. I think it would be a great replacement because it has 4G support, Google Assistant, Maps, and Whatsapp. Pretty simple but also, suffices basic needs.

This makes sense to me, as a dev from India who's currently learning a variety of technologies.

I could never afford college, so I took it upon myself to learn whatever I wanted from the Internet. It is astounding how rich the resources for CS are, if you know where to look on the web.

Going back to the topic at hand, I often find myself being defensive and supportive of stacks I use and learnt about. When I dig deeper, I find myself at a lack of words, regarding why I like React or Python. It mostly boils down to "I like x because I know x". I often don't have reasons backed by technical knowledge.

Many times I've not given a certain language/stack a chance just because I heard/read one guy write something negative about it online.

I see my error and will try not to be blindly biased.

These are some wild numbers. Please recheck. I don't know anyone that can survive in Calcutta on $70 a month. Out of college, people earn about $350-$650 dollars on the monthly.
