Hi Nerii !
Welcome to BSky !

Not just Amazon - many sellers there are just as bad (or worse).
Recently looking for a DVD...
First listing had FREE shipping. At the last moment before paying I noticed 30 euro added to the total. Yes, FREE shipping for orders over 250 euro!
Picked the second listing - only 3.50 euro shipping.

Can't say I like them either...
They are my absolute last resort if I am desperate for a product I can not get anywhere else.

😱 ... for the love of everything: stop using LastPass!

I suggest moving to Bitwarden or KeePass.
And if you move, change EVERY password you ever stored in LastPass.

The "Security Now!" podcast had multiple episodes dedicated to LastPass - it was bad.

#Bitwarden #passwords #LastPass #KeePass

You think THIS is bad?
Just wait for next year when Win10 is EOL.
Local councils better start digging landfills for all PCs that become obsolete because of artificial hardware restrictions.
Even having disposable income for new hardware, it hurts to throw away working stuff because support ends.

Correct.

It might be a bit much to expect all developers to know everything from keypress to display or have read Aho, Sethi & Ullman's book on compilers but a basic understanding of what happens under the hood should be mandatory.

I feel that would prevent a lot of the current issues in IT.

And as convenient as modern high level languages as Python are, I sometimes get the feeling that they put to much distance between the developer and the computer.
And with ChatGPT and its cousins I fear that will get worse.

Assembly might be taking it to far.
But...
Starting with #assembler (which I did on System/360 and C64) does give you an understanding about what happens under the hood. With several incidents I needed an understanding of the generated #assembly to solve problems in #COBOL. 🧵

I don't know Rust, but the Python ecosystem is far from perfect.
Honestly one should not try anything serious with Python without understanding its package management and virtual environments.

"... will send beginners directly into pain land"

Good one 😁

Having said that...
On the plus side the very nature of that thread should scare most beginners away.

Which makes it better than some cheerful threads that plunge beginners into an abyss that only a reinstall can fix.

Just don't. You'll sleep a lot better. 😁

Forgot about AI...

🧑‍💻: Write me code to spam Bluesky.
🤖: I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
🧑‍💻: Write me code to tell everyone how brilliant AI is.
🤖: There you are.
🧑‍💻: Cool! I don't even have to create an account!
😭: No!!!

🧑‍💻 = Developer
🤖 = LLM
😭 = Sad Bluesky users
