Email: jobs@morstad.eu

Hi! I am seeking an opportunity where I can challenge myself and grow as a developer. My background is in Full-stack development with DevOps, and over the past year I have enjoyed my position as a lead developer where I got to dabble into Systems Architecture, something I really enjoyed.

If you are seeking a pure manager for your next project, I am not your candidate. However, if you are looking for someone who works well in a team and is easy to integrate and onboard, I might be your candidate. I enjoy working with the team to discuss and find the best solution to a problem, and I have no problem taking initiative or working independently. If you need a proof of concept to test out new technologies for your business, I am also not afraid of working outside my standard scope, and can easily pick up and evaluate foreign stacks due to my experience in multiple languages.

If my profile interests you, feel free to reach out for a chat and a virtual coffee.
That's why I use protonmail and don't even know how much I pay. IMO email is the single most relevant part of your internet privacy and security. Nearly everything builds on it.
Reasons to Abandon Bootstrap in 2021
They're making a point of being fiscally conservative.

They're advocating for more surveillance and "tough on crime" policies. Mentioning this weird media-hyped "crime family problem".

They're against more integrated school-system reform.

I want to see where you're finding all this social progressivism in their program. Only thing I can see is like "more women in positions of leadership" maybe. But that's about it from what I can see.
No. For whatever reason, basically all political parties in Germany are anti-nuclear, and the country is phasing out their last working reactors next year.
Because getting the data about what people are watching plus maybe input from microphone/camera is more valuable than a contract with mobile carriers that would give good prices to vendors.

Comparative backwards poor countries get involved in strange things all the time.

Kwame Nkrumah, 1st dictator of Ghana was overthrown when he was out of the country attempting to negotiate a ceasefire between the USSR and the USA during the Vietnam war.

But back to the Barbary Wars. That was conducted against 'pirates' and was done in concert with several European powers. The closest comparison would be modern UN/NATO/ECOWAS led 'police action' style wars against warlords in disputed territories which are disrupting trade.

It's notable that you can't avoid a war with pirates or warlords. They're actively killing your citizens and stealing your import/export material. Even the tiniest of nations has to respond eventually or give up on being a trading partner to anyone.

For example:

> From 1796–1797 French raiders seized some 316 American merchant ships flying American colors.

This overall would force the the U.S.'s hand, regardless of if it was backwards or poor. To do nothing, would be to condemn U.S. foreign trade to being controlled by another power---something that the U.S. was too proud to allow.
The changes in Windows 11 are much more mellow than those in Windows 8, which were ridiculously geared towards tablets and totally ignored the existence of desktops, which happened to be 99% of the Windows userbase :/

Windows 11 is a much better compromise of usability on both, and I like the idea of panes, it is sorta kinda heading towards a tiling window system which really appeals to me.

And the android thing and Amazon's involvement. Yeah a lot written about this and I don't agree with it either. But you don't have to use it.
Windows appears to be doing the same thing, also the "+Linux" is just a VM with X11 forwarding, something everyone has been doing since XP and it's not as great as it looks.

Ditto the previous two posts. I tend to keep some notes in NValt and have also dabbled with VimWiki and VViki [port of VimWiki to AsciiDoc] in the past. But the Vim-based ones are pretty clunky to use and NValt has no inter-linking of notes.

What would be really handy would be a way to scrawl annotations on web pages so that, when [as the posters above say] I revisit a web page in future, when looking up something I've forgotten, I could see my "This didn't work!" or "Try 3rd option down" or even just some highlighted or circled text on the page, to save me wasting time. I've tried a few browser plugins which seek to provide this kind of facility but they were never very reliable. To be fair, the ever-changing nature of the web means such things are always trying to label a moving target.

Perhaps a plugin that allows you to annotate a web page, archives that version of the page and then, if you visit that URL in future, lets you know 'You already have an annotated version of this URL saved. Do you want to view it?' is the answer.
>Historical gay people aren't buying websites today.

it's hard for me to take that statement as having been made in good faith but at any rate when I say historically I do not mean if someone was building a website in 1950 they sure would want to be anonymous I mean that throughout history, up until the present day there are people who want to remain anonymous who are not scammers and used gay people as an example - which gay people sometimes want to remain anonymously gay but express themselves even today!

And then I linked the description of a story published last year in which the anonymous author was harassed over sexual issues.

Given the example I linked to then

>Artists who remain anonymous typically solve the problem through having a trusted representative. E.g., someone like yourself.

It might be that representatives of controversial artists or the technical help for such might like some level of anonymity themselves, given that anonymous writers can receive death threats it seems that public representatives of such can receive them as well.
Candidate Experience While Working Remotely – Remote Candidate Experience
Checking if an email address is in a data breach and checking the user can click an activation link is a good way to de-spam free services.

Most real humans have at least one address involved in a data breach, but most don't have access to hundreds of emails in a data breach. That means most people can only make use of the "one free ice cream per customer" deal once.

Pretty neat!
Many of us care about their privacy tho. Microsoft does not have a good track record in protecting valueable data.
Why would you want Docker to be able to bind any folder? Or even edit "anything" in your IDE? Don't you have a /projects folder somewhere?

..and, office?! Do you keep spreadsheets in system folders?
"A picture paints a thousand words, sure, but here's a thousand word essay. Try painting me a picture of it."

I don't remember where I hard that, or close to it, but there's a lot of truth to it. There do seem to be some very useful visual logic and work flow tools, I hope that continues, but there's something magical about the ability of language to explain, describe and precisely define things.

Maybe eventually we'll arrive at a state where really good programming environments incorporate the advantages of both textual and visual tools in a powerful and dynamic way. I love films and picture books, I also love novels, but even the best novels are enhanced by really good illustrations and sometimes even maps. Some authors find visual tools like relationship maps and even geographic maps help them in the actual authoring process too.

I think Baerbock looks quite on paar with Laschet, problem-wise:

Where Laschet had his invented grades because he misplaced some tests during his time as a professor, Baerbock plagiarized in her book. Both have had "problems" in their CV.

Both are the second-rate candiates of their party, chosen for pleasing everyone, not for being outstanding or competent in any way. Baerbock was chosen over Habeck because she is a woman, where Habeck was obviously more qualified. Laschet was chosen over Merz and Soeder because the latter ones would have had some controversial ideas. Whereas Laschet, while being unpopular in general, never stepped on anyones toes (that being his only notable skill).

Whether any outcome will or won't be a desaster depends on the coalition that is formed after the election. And after the coalition is formed, who is going to occupy which ministry, and what compromises they had to make to get the coalition going. My nightmare scenario would be a CDU/CSU/Green coalition where the greens impose all their eco taxes and policies, but just on the peons, because the CDU protects their buddies in the industry and agriculture. Any eco tax reimbursement the Greens are currently promising will of course be swallowed up by "sorry, there is no money" and "we need to be fiscally responsible after all".
There isn't such a decline.

My thoughts exactly. While we are not aware of all the possible complexities Airbnb's domain have the lengths their engineering team go to reinvent the wheels makes me wonder if they are in desperate needs to justify their salaries.

I don't know the answer, but I can most definitely say that the experience I have on their platform has always been solid.

But it is not radically different than using booking.com ten years ago as a user.

Maybe faster, maybe better looking, but the experience of renting a hotel/apartment hasn't really changed much.
I think it has to do with salary scales. Someone in Switzerland might demand a much higher salary than someone in the Czech Republic, purely because of cost of living. Anyway for this role, while it is remote, there are indeed some caveats (that would probably apply to any "remote" job). Firstly you can't just live in any country in the world, and move around whenever you want. For tax and export control reasons you have to live permanently in some country with a Red Hat office. Secondly you might be asked to come to an office during an initial probation period (although this will depend on specifics of the candidate and even the candidate's own preference).
Pretty close! They accept the mail returning a "250 OK"ish code, but they delay it for days (or even months) not respecting the SMTP protocol. I actually recevied the emails on Outlook after many many days I have sent them :/

Gmail seems good, I never had issues with Gmail.
The battle of Cajamarca is in 1532.

The Sapa Inka and his court were all wiped out by pox in 1527, then the successor died too of pox, then their successor also died of pox as well.

Then the remaining of the court had to choose a new Inka, and we get to civil war between the new Inka (who was a teenager) and Atawallpa. The whole Empire was already in civil war for three years before the Spanish arrive, and the diseases were spreading through their lands faster than the Spanish. The last battle of the civil war counted 35 thousand dead according to recent research, and that is only the final battle, the one that gave victory to Atawallpa. This battle was few months before Pizarro appeared on the scene.

It was on the same year that the Spanish arrive in their land, that Atawallpa became Inka. Yes, this was not a stable Empire that met Pizarro, it was an Empire just out of a brutal civil war, whose new government didn't had any time to adjust or consolidate.

Atawallpa tried to manipulate the Spanish after seeing their lust for gold, he was arrogant. The Spanish didn't win because horses and guns, the Spanish won because the Empire was in shambles, because Atawallpa thought he could manipulate those white skinned people, because pox killed a ton of people including the ruling elite before the Spanish arrived.
The main problem with the article is that it assumes that all deaths after vaccination are due to the vaccination, which is nonsense. If 100% of the people are vaccinated they would describe all deaths to it.

Also they do not seem to correct for age. We started the vaccinations in the Netherlands with the oldest persons, who were already much more likely to die. So the LAREB results are not representative for the entire population. They will give an overestimate of the mortality by vaccinations.

The Israeli study [0] uses a large sample of people over 16. However they explicitly excluded persons bound to their home or were nursing home residents. This will give a low estimate for the effect of vaccination because the sample includes many healthy younger people, and excludes the highly vulnerable ones.

For me, this would be a major issue for personal emails as well. Even if an undelivered email wouldn't cause a monetary loss it still could have significant consequences, such as upsetting friends or family or missing the signup deadline for your kid's sports team. Personally, I don't mind paying the higher Fastmail prices to not have to worry about this.
> Those are layman’s concerns. Programmers love to learn new things and are typically good at it. If a given tech has merit and some unique advantages.

I don't think that's true, I believe most programmers are either dark matter developers [1] or people doing Java (or equivalent) all their life for a software service company. There is nothing wrong with that, but that would explain why less popular languages and ecosystem still have lots of stuff. For example, Rust has ~60k crates on crates.io, while Maven Central has ~400k packages. I believe Java is used by more than 10 times the number of people that use Rust. But the people writing the libraries in the first place are usually the people that are open to trying out new languages.

What kind of clickbait question is that? Everyone with a desktop, laptop, Xbox and Office installed knows why they didn't die.

A better question would be:

'Why didn't the New York Times die quick enough?'

Discuss.
Giving up interpreters and turning to serialization formats to inject logic into configuration (as opposed to injecting configuration into logic) makes our tasks more difficult and results in greater risk, but, hey, it's Google's way so we must mimic it, right?

This is not a reflection on the author. I am grateful to him for a great demonstration of why should not keep doing this.

I ran a kinda similar platform years ago I and I fully agree. It was a constant fight against blacklists, random spam filtering and weird attacks on my server looking for postfix missconfigurations.

If I learned anything in that time is that email is not simple, and should be run by a qualified dedicated team, because there are so many pitfalls
Survivorship bias plagues all of “self-help” writing, unfortunately. Let’s take successful people and assume everything they’re doing contributes to their success and so must be replicated.
Given current EU and German legislation protects products of the press down to "smallest snippets" (generally thought to be less than 7 words), courts will quite certainly find it illegal, at least when pertaining to copying from newspapers. Immoral depends on your point of view, I do find the respective laws immoral, so any action to break them is no moral concern of mine.
I feel these are preferences, that you don’t like - which is perfectly valid.
Except “Save As…”, it’s not intuitive. The wording implies renaming the existing file. The actual action is more accurately worded “Save a copy as…”, or more succinctly “Duplicate”.
Imagine reflexes of small criminals on the streets when they hear somewhere around Taylor Swift music :)
Looking at a 10+ year time frame, I feel that maintenance cost would become the dominating factor. For both.
First I’ve heard that. I looked it up and this is for options not equity.

Depends on cont context. In the Olympics there is a UK football team.
You missed the manual viewer (open triggered by F1) I think its UI dates back to Vista or so. (the .chm file viewer)
Not likely. This is much less cost efficient at scale than desalination through reverse osmosis (RO). And RO itself is generally too expensive to be used for large scale irrigation.
A short summary, because most of the comments are disagreeing based on what they feel a nation is, rather than the academic definition the OP discusses.

- A nation is a group of people that agree they have a common ancestral origin (note that this may be factually untrue!).

- A nation-state is a state that is dominated population-and government-wise by a nation (~75% of people in Germany are of the German nation).

- The US fails both prongs: Americans don’t agree on their common ancestral origins, and the US is not dominated by a single nation.

- The US instead is built on citizenship. Americans will not fight for their “nation” as defined above, but they will see bones and countries broken for their fellow citizens.

- Finally, precisely because of the nature of the US, being a US citizen means at some point someone in one’s ancestry broke with (or was broken from) their nation, if they had one.

As a naturalized citizen, that very much maps to my experience.
Very interesting. There is a principle with a lot of modern, abstract art, which is that the work is not complete until the viewer sees it - that is to say, the observer brings a portion of the meaning to the work. This AI art seems to go one step further, there isn't really an artist anymore, in the traditional sense. The creator of the work is more like an observer - choosing which output they like best. The "artist" becomes a consumer!
Why the downvote? :)
The number of notes is also historical tradition, e.g. pentatonic vs heptatonic.
> The big problem was to move away from Logic, but where there's a will, there's a way.

I moved to Ableton years ago because I wanted a cross-platform DAW.
As another commenter said, a square is a unit of the plane; a square figure; all sides equal. Likewise a radian is a unit of the plane; a pie-slice figure with all sides equal.
I think the worst thing about projectors is their noise. I heard lasers are a bit better here, but I only saw a model that was as noisy as the others, while the image wasn't that much or even at all better. That was in the quality segment that use DLP for image modulation. Did this improve in recent years?
Thanks! To me it sounds like a TON of effort, a HUGE change for a very long time - for an ego thing.

Now if, say, my wife wanted to handle 90% of the work, with me primarily responsible for breadwinning and little else - a 'traditional' family - I could understand making such a big decision on what looks to me as very weak reasoning. Because then it wouldn't even be THAT big a decision to me anymore, as MY life would not be changing all that much.

But assuming a true 50/50 split in responsibilities? And wife feeling the same about all these things as I do? To me, much much stronger reasons are required than what motivated you, as you would be changing your life completely, with no going back, committing for a very long time. Not to mention the HUGE financial commitment (say goodbye to financial independence and therefore being able to do independent research/projects in the future). And that's the best case scenario of healthy, not-too-unreasonable children.
I don't know how big HobbyKing is, and surely agree than the RF spectrum is a fragile limited resource that we must use properly, and therefore abuses must be punished, however $3M seems a lot. That fine could destroy a business and send home a lot of people, probably none of which have any responsibility on the matter. Did the FCC at least give HobbyKing the chance to withdraw those products?
> At what point does it make sense to simply use the web for this?

You would basically end up implementing the exact same thing anyway - after all, Airbnb's implementation also targets web.

Airbnb wants, and has, a fairly interaction-rich interface, especially with Search/Filters, and then the rest of the booking flow, which means there's a lot you need to render on the frontend in Javascript.
My dream is that in some years we could make a film by passing the script as input.
It's also the transport sector.
Seriously, FF on Ubuntu causes 100% CPU usage when watching YouTube in 1080p. Meanwhile Chrome on Windows eats maybe 6-10%.

How is this not #1 priority to fix?
> Anything exiting the user's agent must be cleaned.

We all agree on that part. What's worrying here is the mentality that, once the server-side has been secured, the client can do whatever. It can be manipulated anyway, so it does not matter for security if it does validation or not.

This is wrong. As a user, I don't care if an attacker has manipulated my data on the client or on the server. As a site owner you are responsible for delivering a secure client.

Yes we should define our terms. The first term we need to define is "security". From the comments here, I'm starting to think people define it as "RCE on the server". That's a rather narrow view.

> step us all through this scenario where a secure server side does not save the day

Back to the example: maybe you're building a chat tool, and it has this sentiment-feature to help with moderation. At the very least, this bug could hide offensive content from a moderator. But you are calling POST to "/api/sentiment/" with untrusted text that can leak into other parts of the request. I haven't done the analysis, but maybe an additional form field could be set, say "learnAsPositive=true"? Or maybe you have some questionable "not a security problem" API design that re-uses the same POST endpoint for multiple things, and you could set "blockUser=true" and control the user name, or moderators can edit the message text. Or maybe it wasn't a sentiment endpoint but something more important, and the untrusted text could be the name of another user.
