I disagree with this article and most things I read about imposter syndrome. There's usually some good advice in there about self care. But, I think it ends up missing the mark because it leaves out half the story: It is healthy and normal to question if you're over-representing yourself.

A constant feeling of "Am I as good as people think and I say?" is only imposter syndrome if the answer is yes. Otherwise, yeah, you're an imposter.

I've spoken with and mentored many new software engineers. Some of them tell me they're struggling with imposter syndrome. Do I tell them they're wrong and they shouldn't feel that way, baselessly invalidating their beliefs? No! I look for evidence that they can write code. Some live coding, a project that's not a copy-pasted tutorial, just something.

Then, the conversation goes one of two ways. If they can code, then we have a talk about expectation setting. No one knows everything, everyone expects a junior to make lots of mistakes, googling stuff is fine, etc. If they can't code, it's more like "Yeah, you're right. Your feelings aren't just valid but pointing at a truth. Let's work on teaching you to code."

Let's say I'm race car driver, but I feel like I'm no good. Some day I'll be found out. Do I have imposter syndrome? Who knows! Let's look at the standings. If over a season, I sometimes crash, sometimes end up in the middle, and sometimes get on the podium, yeah I'm definitely a race car driver. My worries of being found out are baseless. But, if I'm always coming in dead last and I barely even race anymore, then these concerns seem pretty grounded.

The unfortunate reality is that most things aren't as clear cut as the standings of a race. You can still look outward for external evidence, instead of inward to your own feelings. What do I think someone in this position should be able to do? How good do people with similar experience (very important qualifier) in this role tend to be? How am I compared to that?

I don't think it's healthy and I don't think it's useful to just sweep these feelings under the rug. Which is what you're doing when you share them with someone else and they reactively tell you not to worry. I have never seen that work for myself or anyone else. You have to face these feelings honestly and openly, see if they match reality, and adjust accordingly.
The CPI being that high (and being unsurprising) is supportive of the equity market continuing to do well over the next decade-plus.
I just think it's bizarre to describe not being sexually attracted to minors as inhuman. That seems to imply the poster believes all humans cannot resist flirting with minors due to the power of sexual attraction. To minors.

This is just a very bizarre take.
Such a defeatist attitude. I saved for my down payment for 17 years - because I started when I was 15. It wasn't much of a hardship because my lifestyle didn't need a house before that. And it was just normal, 100-400 per month when I happened to have a job (which was probably only half of that time).
This is actually pretty similar to the censorship being discussed here. If a thread, especially around these topics doesn't go as the moderators please, it is simply shadowbanned.
where does it say that dashlane has access to your passwords, I don't see them saying this anywhere?
I loathe to think that this could have been used as a weapon.
I'm quoting in full a comment on the TFA:

> As always, follow the money!
Laura Deming runs a venture capital firm in the longevity space together with Celine. Celine also runs her own anti-aging biotech company for dogs. They are trying to damage SENS and Aubrey De grey, to get publicity to their own company. People will do anything to get rich. It has always been like that. By making this into a public scandal, they know that they will get the attention from the right rich donors/investors that are interested in the anti-aging space.

The reason I am very suspicious of them is the way they exaggerate by calling Aubrey De Grey a sexual predator, when all he did was some joking and testing the grounds to see if there was mutual interest. She was 17 when he sent the e-mail. 17 is legal in the UK. I have seen many 17-year olds that could easily pass as grown adults. Also, the way the e-mail seems to have been written was not pushy at all. There was no threat or anything like that either. Totally blown out of proportion.

These women are going to become responsible for billions of lives, when they cause delays to the anti-aging research in this way.

They are greedy and egocentric, and should be shamed away from this field.

Keepassxc with Dropbox works good and is super secure!

It accepts Yubikey, is open source, has good reputation and is free.

But please donate. Developers spend a lot of work on FOSS of all kind.
Kinda.

First some terminology.

HVAC mean Heating Ventilation and AC (i guess). It is the name for the general problem of dealing with the environment in the house.

Second, about the Northern states.

It really depends where you are and what your AC unit is.

Some heat pumps don't have the capacity to heat a house in the North. If they're sized just right for cooling, they wont be powerful enough to heat your home [1] . As a result these units will start using resistive heating (emergency heat) which is the worst way to heat your home.

Also, there is the edge case of extremely cold cities in the Midwest (Chicago is not cold enough). These cities have some days where the T can be -20F (about -30C). Not only does the COP start to plummet, the temperatures might be outside the operating range of the coolant.

So you do have to do your homework before you install a unit.

But I live in a Northern city now, with bad lows of 0F (-13C?) and the heat pumps work just fine.

[1] In the South if you size your heat pump for cooling, you're sized ok for the heating. Even if you get a few days below freezing triggering the emergency heat, that's not a big problem.
> if an app has ongoing development that you benefit from, it seems entirely fair to pay a subscription.

Agreed. Though, this latest development – the move to Electron – is a negative for me, so it leaves a part of me wondering what kind of development I have been paying for. I imagine I am not alone with such a sense of disappointment.
I wrote a simple GUI using C++ a while ago, just for my map editor. It's primitive and only has the absolutely needed widgets (buttons, textbox, one-layer menu which is essentially a button and maybe a couple others). Then I realized how difficult it is to get one right. I think QT is easy to use and C# is another option on Windows.
:D It's not my first rodeo doing high speed design.

> 2. If you want to run an interface faster than a few MHz, you have to be more careful on the electrical level to avoid reflections/impedance mismatch and other signal integrity issues. Essentially, you can't just hook up 2.54mm pin headers at gigabit speeds and expect everything to work fine.

Conversely, we got a gigabit out of a few wires, non-differential, on pin headers UltraDMA/ATAPI over distances of tens of inches, albeit with the insulation displacement connector able to put a ground between each wire on the ribbon to lower impedance a bit.

It would be nice to have some more capable interfaces multiplexed onto the pins. That's all I'm saying.

For that matter, an RJ45 doesn't have wonderful electrical characteristics, but it's a small impedance discontinuity at the ends of the circuit. Industrial uses put gigabit ethernet through all kinds of connectors. Gigabit Ethernet works in practice through a few inches of untwist and would work just fine through a pin header. Already not everything on the header is hooked up to a single GPIO controller-- some goes directly to the broadcom and some to an external GPIO controller on earlier PIs, I believe.
If I found one, I would be afraid to tell or ask anyone for fear of it being seized.
I'm somewhere in between. I also paid for a non subscription version and I also feel like I was forced to upgrade to the subscription. Sadly switching password managers, especially if you share with a family, is really painful.

We now pay the subscription, a tad begrudgingly, but I have to admit 1Password overall does a great job.
I have same exact problem. I enjoy Tower for Mac, but Tower for Windows is hot trash. How close is GitKraken to Tower for Mac?

>His co-founder had a degree in civil engineering (as roads and water infrastructure)

I think this might be something that got lost in translation - at least according to Wikipedia, Martin Lorentzon studied Industrial Economics at Chalmers University.

The Swedish word Civilingenjör translates to Master of Science in Engineering, not to Civil engineer.
> Oh my god, they're made out of meat.

Hate to admit that this has appeared in some of my social bios before...

Anyways, what would the objective of this dispassionate perspective be? Is it possible to have an objective, dispassionate perspective without it being so constrained as to be useless, or optimizes the wrong thing?

What I’m getting is "it’s easier to set up"?

Though one more point that’s more than just "ease of use" is probably shared access. AFAIK Keepass has issues there while bitwarden (IIRC) supports it completely.
From one perspective that's quite thoughtful. From another that's going to significant lengths to deceive your customers into thinking it's much more thoughtful than it is.
That's right. I just think sometimes these are left in as escape hatches, or possibly landmines, for critics. E.g. You and others say he admitted it, later he clarifies what he meant which makes prior statements of others incorrect, which can then be pointed to as evidence of all sorts of things, like a concerted effort to defame or ignore the reality or people lying, which just muddies the waters, and provides a smokescreen for the person to hide behind.

The only defense against things like that are to stick to the facts and be clear and correct based on what other people have said and what we think that actually means. e.g. "I think the implication is clear, even if it's not outright admitted." Anything else helps them by giving them ammunition to lob back later.
It's not just that it can be misused. Hitting on them is misusing it. It's putting them between a rock and hard place. Nothing good can come of that.
What did the vertical tab use to look like?
I have to treat each Electron program as having ~5-20x the system resource footprint of an equivalent native program—because they do. So they're going to get cut, or I'm going to pick a competitor to begin with, more often than a native app. That goes especially for anything I open often, or for anything it'd be convenient or necessary to leave running most or all of the time. Rarely-used programs, I mostly don't care, and Electron's fine.
It’s the opposite which is why the title is misleading - the “Apple ai camera thing” is happening on other Teleperformance contracts but not Apple.

The idea that there is an “Apple ai camera thing” is just the implication from the (misleading) title but it doesn’t exist.

From the article:

> Apple spokesperson Nick Leahy said that the company “prohibits the use of video or photographic monitoring by our suppliers and have confirmed Teleperformance does not use video monitoring for any of their teams working with Apple.”

The article also never makes the claim that the cameras are observing people doing work on an Apple contract - it says that it is Teleperformance who ‘has contracts with Apple’, but not that this is used on the Apple contract.

I know one guy that managed to retire before 40 (he's now 45), following the boring route. Roughly, it went like this

- He chose to go to trade school, and become an electrician

- He chose to live in his small rural town

- He worked overtime whenever he could, but not at the cost of his social or family life.

- He saved around +/- $30k every year, for almost 20 years, and invested it all on index funds.

- He didn't splurge on excessive travel, electronics, cars, etc. lived a modest life.

After he "retired", he enrolled community college to study Electrical Engineering, and now does smaller contracting work that he finds interesting.
Thanks for clarifying! I understand the architecture but perhaps didn't explain it properly in my comment.

It does honestly strike me as the best approach given the constraints, but here in Canada almost none of my banks are supported with OAuth flow last time I checked so giving the 3rd party providers my credentials and having them log into the bank both violates the TOS of my bank and is also far less secure than I'm comfortable with. Storing my financial details in YNAB / their partners is one thing, storing credentials that can be used to actually move or spend my money is another.

It's honestly not a huge deal for me personally. Entering the transactions manually is a good habit as I can see the balances update and mobile app is easy to use right on the spot.
Indeed: I think it's important to remember that Warren Buffett is a genius at personal marketing. That's why he appears in so much public media, so often. Being an aw-shucks, down-to-earth guy from Nebraska is part of his brand, and the house is part of that. Maybe the idea is that you want your fund manager to be frugal and not flashy.
They've heard complaints about Electron since the Linux beta. They do the same thing basically when anyone asks about buying instead of subscribing. Or any of the removed sync options. It's #2.
KeeWeb + KeePass + Dropbox gave me everything I needed to emulate 1Password, and I definitely recommend that stack if you're greatly opposed to this 1Password change.

That being said, the thing that got me to change was when I tried out 1Password for a month and ran into a few minor accessibility issues on their web frontend. I sent a support ticket and very quickly got a response back, was told those issues would be fixed, and then notified me several days later when they were. Like I'm paying 2.99 a month and still received some amazing support. I use a lot of open source projects, and if I have an issue then I try to upstream a fix because the maintainers are usually volunteers, but I've spread myself thin. 1Password gave me the impression that it's in good shape and has great support which was a burden off my mind.
> but for chatting, you're not gonna be able to build a better solution than already exists. And if you can, then you should spin that off into its own business like Goldman did with Symphony

The implication that Symphony is a better solution for chatting than already exists / existed.

As a (non-trading) user of the platform, I strongly disagree.

I don't know what the traders think, but I'd hope there's a USP in there for them besides "it's cheaper than a Bloomberg seat."
Thanks for the link. Will investigate further.
Isn't it something that the sender decides?
It also seems like just a big reach for a story. Musk twited a black and white photo and somehow that's referencing a specific historic skyscraper photo, and not only that, the purpose is to send a message to the FAA? Seems like an absurd leap.
Was the windows app native? I haven't used to to often, but when I did (end of 2020) it felt fairly clunky.

I think the whole idea behind Electron is that they've also put out a native Linux version. Which is much, much better than having to run an extension in the browser, and gets some system integration (unlock with yubikey).

From the screenshots, it would seem the Mac version is the same as the Linux version (currently version 8.1.1 on my machine). One big step back is if you have multiple vaults (say personal + company) you have to open each one individually. No more one password unlocks everything.
There are different risks, but there is not necessarily more risk. Does Codespaces have lower or higher than the availability risks of your current environment?
Anybody who is developing a COBOL compiler should know that there's a test suite for the language. See here (https://www.itl.nist.gov/div897/ctg/cobol_form.htm)

Also, I haven't seen any mention of any of the bits of the COBOL ecosystem here? No DB2, IDMS, IMS DB/DC, VSAM, CICS, REXX, JCL? These are a big part of why COBOL applications are sticky.
The gaslighting also makes me very uncomfortable:

> The overwhelming majority of people (97% in fact) choose to subscribe to our new service and many of those who initially purchased a license later changed their mind and traded it in for a membership.

With each of the last two versions, they hid the standalone version more. I'd hardly characterize all 97% of those users as voluntary.

Their PR doublespeak isn't helping either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28143821

I don't think I can trust this new AgileBits.
Not about Codespaces, but about Web IDEs in general, they're amazing. I've not used Codespaces but I have used what is being talked about here [0]. It's one of the biggest productivity improvements I've seen from Google. I never really have to think about what packages or software is setup on my laptop and I can change laptops or computers while having the entire state of my IDE preserved. It's a pretty amazing experience.

The only people who I don't think would instantly like this sort of thing are people like game developers who basically don't do any unit testing of their code and run the binaries they generate. For those users you could find quite a few ways around that.

Oh well. I've been a 1password user for maybe a decade. I don't mind paying for a subscription, but they have become increasingly user hostile over time. Pushing the in-browser versions of the product, hiding the steps to enable local vaults, and now removing local vaults entirely.

Custody of your secrets is something thing a password manager should move away from, not toward.

I moved my data to Bitwarden this morning.
This is just Mail Merge 2.0 and it feels just as gross as companies trying to pretend they send "personalized" emails when it's all automated. I half-expected this to be a story about a new approach to support/outreach but no, it's just the newer version of "Hey $firstName!".

It's astounding to me that the founder not only did this but then wrote a blog article bragging about it as if this was good idea. Clearly the customers thought this was real (as seen in their replies), I can't imagine most of them would feel the same way if they knew it wasn't personalized at all and was just a deepfake.

The bit about "I would clone myself to greet people so I could work in the back", is super cringe. I'm not even going to open that can of worms... I don't believe this is ethical at all unless there was a clear disclaimer (which it appears there was not). Lastly "the genie is out of the bottle" is a terrible justification.
Do smartphones get their time from GPS?
I asked for it in conversations with a Signal developer. Also that it stop recording the timestamps of when adjustments to the disappearance period were made.

While you make some valid criticisms this functionality seems firmly related to Signal's core goal of truly private messaging.
I've stuck with 1Password for a long time, because it will work on the occasional Windows machine I need to use. However, it doesn't integrate as well as Apple's native key manager. I've been on the fence about just giving it all to Apple, but it's, like, the one thing out of literally DOZENS of services that I use that Apple does NOT control, and it's kind of important. So I'm really conflicted about the whole thing.
I hate the term "bootlicker" but it's apt for a forum that's more or less about people sharecropping on big platforms in order to attract investor money. That most people here think this sort of thing should be ignored is completely unsurprising.
Don't know about USDC, but USDT almost instantly locked the funds, making them unspendable.
There's a difference between not considering other people's concerns vs disagreeing with their rationalizations of them.

> That to me suggests you've made that position part and parcel of your identity.

I genuinely feel like I'm making a fairly sober, rational and considered point. (Of course everyone thinks that of themselves but hey)
I'm a big fan of Marshall but this is just so clueless. People appreciate the video *because of the cost* that... that's the thing! This is not genuine, at. all.

>If I was a retail store owner greeting customers at the entrance and someone came to me and offered to place a clone to do the same job, so I could be productive in the back, would I take that offer? Yes.

No you wouldn't. Because a creepy clone at the entrance that is unable to reply to customers or interact with them in a genuinely dynamic way would be terrible. Which is what this is.

I don't like being negative but this, this just sucks. You're tricking people in believing you paid a higher cost for that video than you did and thus about the amount of fucks you give about them. Furthermore once more companies start doing this, this format will lose it value because it no longer demonstrates anything even from actual genuine people.
I don’t think that’s true because we seem to be adapted to life in parts of Africa where temperatures sometimes exceed that mark.
> I worked with a few masters of this craft, and honestly, they are all magic on any team.

Any advice you'd like to share regarding this?
Even with Codespace your company will still have to buy you a laptop, to run corporate VPN, security/virus software, background screen recording, and zoom/video calls. All of this will still need powerful reliable business grade laptop.

The cost difference between laptop meant for remote development vs regular dev laptop is less than $1k. ($300 for CPU upgrade, $200 for RAM, $200 for SSD upgrade)?
Ship code that works, do it quickly, and do a lot of it.

A common mistake is to focus too much on the technical aspects and not enough on shipping. It’s easy to get lost in over-engineering the hypothetical perfect system that doesn’t ever shift to customers. You don’t want to be that person.

Instead, focus on simplifying implementations and shipping simple, trustworthy code as quickly as possible. A reputation for getting things done will go a long way.

Beyond that, focus on area under the curve. The more code you ship and the more tickets you work through, the more experience you’ll acquire. Cut through the time wasters and get coding as much as possible. Over a decade you can accumulate multiple times more experience than someone who moves slowly and puts in the bare minimum. This doesn’t mean kill yourself by working 50+ hour weeks, but it does mean you need to learn how to cut through the slack in a workday and eliminate procrastination and distraction. Learn how to get down to work and focus efficiency. It’s a learnable skill.
