  • If you're doing C++ then C++ Weekly by Jason Turner is an awesome must-watch.

  • MOOCs.

    They're free unless you want a "certificate", which has no practical value and is mostly useful if you want to motivate yourself a bit more and want to support their business model.

    Go browse Coursera and edX and learn to your heart's content.

    Also, if you're coding, watch recordings of conferences about your programming language, e.g. CppCon/C++Now/CppNorth for C++, PyCon/PyData for Python etc...

  • Given that mirrors have never been an issue before TikTok, maybe, just maybe, the problem is elsewhere?

  • third choice between Android and iOS

    Apostrophy OS is also based on Android at its core (specifically, Android 13)

    so... basically Android?

  • The article changed their title that's why, I'll update this one too as a result. (edit: done)

  • I don't get people buying HP printers either. They did make really good printers 2~3 decades ago (absolutely loved my Deskjet 695C and the cartridges weren't really hard to refill), but recently their printers are nothing more than e-waste.

    Today you should just get a Brother laser printer.

  • Didn't McConnell himself say it was a "violent insurrection"? So he could probably define it.

    We all were here. We saw what happened. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election, from one administration to the next. Thatโ€™s what it was

  • Make flashcards of short questions + answers from your notes. You can use Anki for that (on Android it's AnkiDroid), and you might want to watch this quick tutorial by Derek Banas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5urUZUWoTLo

    One way you can speed up the process of making flashcards is via an AI (not necessarily ChatGPT, I tried Mixtral 8x7b on a few Wikipedia pages and it also works well for this, it's opensource and you have a free demo here: https://huggingface.co/chat/).

    You could ask the AI:

    Extract a precise and concise answer to the question "[INSERT QUESTION]" from the following paragraph: "..."

    The reverse also works:

    Formulate a few short questions that are answered by the following paragraph: "..."

  • Googleโ€ฆ Data leach amon leeches.

    Perfectly fair but ironically Pixel phones are objectively your best bet if you want to deGoogle and GrapheneOS is an absolute gem.

    The Pixel 8 is a tiny bit more compact than even the Pixel 7a, but if they keep up their trend of making the "a" smaller than their counterparts of the same Pixel series (was the case with the Pixel 6 and 7 series), maybe we could get an even smaller model with the Pixel 8a.

  • Yup but I think what he meant is that AA works with GrapheneOS' sandboxed Google Play, that's the whole point.

  • The only things that wonโ€™t really work are NFC payments

    To be more precise: NFC payments relying on Google Pay (which is sadly the majority). Some banking apps do have their own implementation for NFC payments and people seem to report that these work fine on GrapheneOS.

  • Maybe you were the one supposed to entertain them

  • Something you'll learn to live by once enter the workplace: your coworkers are not your friends. There might be a one in a thousand case that's an exception to this rule, but most of the time you should not think of them as more than coworkers you have to work with to get your job done. I've witnessed too many cases of coworkers backstabbing each other for their own professional ambitions or where a coworker dies and everyone just completely forgets about him a few days later.

    That doesn't mean you should be overly pessimistic either. The idea is to be pragmatic. No one wants a toxic environment, so everyone will put in some effort to maintain a cozy facade, and you should too, as that minimizes tensions for everyone. The mistake would be forgetting that it's all a facade and starting to think of them as something like a family, that's a mistake most juniors make.

    My motto is: smile at your coworkers but guard your damn ass when you turn your back to them.
