If your intention is to show off your skills and network, you're doing yourself a disservice by deleting your LinkedIn on the basis of it being "spammy like Facebook".

LinkedIn's value isn't in it's website or app, it's the fact that you, your mother, your boss, and your boss's boss all have a profile too.

If you don't want to get spammed by people in your network who treat it like a business-oriented Facebook, mute/delete them. If you don't want to receive recruiter spam, I think there's a setting for that too.

TLDR: There are no good LinkedIn alternatives

I don't see how it would. If you make me angry, this doesn't lead me to say "I should not be angry", or to deny that I am angry, or to pretend that I'm not angry; rather the opposite, I will (best case) understand both why I am angry and why I should be angry; what the point of being angry is.

If that's a straw Vulcan, we have moved very far away from Mr. Spock.
In most cases, those ancient cities and temples weren't buried by the people. Egypt is a desert country. Over time, the wind carries the sand over everything. Also, many old cities and temples were flooded by the Nile.
It's not just an Old-Sk00l convention, but the main convention for C programming, alongside avoiding C++ comments. It's cultural and I think C programmers are now trained to worry when you don't write code like this because they associate it with the C code that newer C++ programmers write when they're forced to write some C code or try to convert, inevitably with a lot of unnecessary paranoid cruft and C++-inspired misconceptions.

So in the purely practical sense of trying to write code that doesn't 'smell' or send off the wrong signals it's worth sticking to the conventions. And there's no problem with C++ having its own conventions as well. They are two different languages with diverged syntax and semantics.

Unlike the culture of C++ that has gotten a lot of benefits from the progression of the standard, in C the standard is not that interesting, does not change as much, and unfortunately compiler support was extremely slow (especially with C99, the first revision following the initial standard). In fact, many C99 features became optional in C11, and the attitude of most C programmers has been "use what you need" with new features, perhaps to make it easier to port to the exotic and outdated compilers that are more frequently found in the major application of most modern C code: embedded software.

Good security experts know a security feature can’t sabotage usefulness or usability or people won’t use it.

Another gripe I have about infosec people is that they tend to fear the wrong things. They tend to be paranoid about the minutia of network firewalls and encryption while ignoring the fact that most compromises are inbound and due to malware or phishing.

They will obsess over how “smooth” the firewall is, then type “npm install” as root on production.
You don't need one. The problem of finding a job is a search problem, not a social network one.
Someone else mentioned Spotify, you could try looking into Last.fm[1] (which queries from a number of different sources - spotify, youtube, soundcloud and user contributed artwork).

If your email server supports JMAP (for example if you are a Fastmail user) then that's great – most probably you'd not need anything like EmailEngine at all and can use the JMAP clients. The problem is that almost no email server in the world supports JMAP at this point. It might change in the future, though anything related to changes in email take years if not decades. If you want to communicate with an existing email server then you either have to use IMAP, POP3 or a service specific API (eg Gmail API or O365 API).

Using IMAP seems easy at first, and it is, if all you need to do is to list current contents of a mailbox folder. As soon as you want to start tracking changes, everything gets really messy. If it would be possible to use JMAP instead, it wouldn't be so hard but, as I stated, email servers do not actually support JMAP.
The Unholy Trinity: State, Church and the Market. Despite the common belief to the contrary, they can never be truly separated. They're only distinct in the sense a continuous multimodal distribution has "distinct" modes - the boundaries are fuzzy. Ultimately, they all serve the goal of social coordination, and they all work with means of coercing people to do things for other people.
Why can’t the kernel just generate a random secret at boot and encrypt swap and hibernate files automatically? MacOS does this. I thought Linux did already. With AES in hardware it’s not much more costly than memcpy.
There is something very zen and kind of time-travely about playing a 40yo arcade cab made in the US that still works.

I don’t know anyone who likes modern trek. Except Lower Decks, which comes the closest to that 90s trek feeling.

Makes me wonder what the demographics are of Picard and Discovery’s viewership. Is it mainly younger viewers who didn’t experience trek before?

Just trying thinking about one thing you forget a bit longer each time you encounter it, and trying to rationalise why the syntax is as it is. Slowly build it up. You don't need to remember the whole thing at once.
It really depends what you use LinkedIn for.

Discovery: You say you had lots of incoming messages from recruiters but few of any use, so it sounds like you may have interest in discovery (being found by recruiters for opportunities). Unfortunately, LinkedIn is pretty much the standard and there aren't many other places recruiter can go to find candidates en masse. Angel.co is perhaps the closest thing I've seen there.

Resume - If you want to post a resume somewhere that you can quickly send a link to someone looking for it, you could of course use GitHub or any number of other options like a personal website on any platform like Angel.

Contact storage (Rolodex) - You said you had 6K connections, which is a huge number compared to most. It doesn't necessarily matter how many of them you actually knew - what matters more (it seems anyway) is how many of the 6K would be useful to you depending on what you wanted to do. If you want to find a job, or if you wanted to hire someone (which is another reason people use LinkedIn), putting out a message that has the potential to reach 6K people is pretty powerful.

Brand building - Some people use LinkedIn as a publishing method to build some kind of brand or reputation, and either publish material direct to LinkedIn or link material off the site. The competitors for that would probably be social media sites or blogging.
I don't know if New Zealand also does this, but the United States licensing and accreditation boards don't accept a lot of foreign degrees and licenses. I noticed this in particular after the fall of the Soviet Union. When I first went to college, it was LA City College, and in some way, if your grades were curved, it was probably the most competitive school in the country, because so many students in my biology classes had been practicing physicians and researchers with medical degrees and licenses from Soviet Republics that were starting over because US medical boards didn't accept their credentials.
That's interesting. I'm thinking about ways how this could be combined with https://dnskv.com - which allows not only reading from dns, but also storing:

dig TXT content.uniquekey.dnskv.com
--> 'ok'

dig TXT uniquekey.dnskv.com
--> 'content'

Only thing that comes to my mind is data exfiltration from sites with content-security-policy which for some reason allows some DoH site

I too get offended when salient information to the story is part of the headline.

I never want to read "Motorist kills 2 pedestrians", or "Policeofficer accused of planting evidence". It has to be "Person killed 2 other people" and "person accused of planting evidence" otherwise I am personally offended.

That's a significant factor in how those places survived. You could easily drop by there on your extended way home from school/work/whatever. Nowadays people have smartphones, internet, etc. for casual entertainment.

Anything JJ Abrams produces is entirely made to be visually effective, rather than philosophically interesting or even internally congruent.

Occasionally, I want to watch something more for the visual and coolness factor, and I can appreciate when productions don't take themselves too seriously.

However JJ takes it too far, and I've ended up despising everything he has ever had a hand in writing and producing. Aside from the visuals, every single story element is so devoid of any logical coherence, that they are an affront to the mind or anyone who would care about things making sense.

Take a look at some of the amusing "pitch meeting" videos on JJ movies, and you'll quickly see the common thread of nothing ever making any sense. He's a great visual composer, but his story writing abilities is worse than that of an average 10 year old.
New hires at Apple get multiple hours of training in information security and other HR policy. There is warning. It's just ignored by lots of folks.
They missed such an opportunity with that show.

The first Enterprise should have been even more “early” with artificial gravity that didn’t work well and consequentially Velcro everywhere like in the ISS. It might have looked a bit like a bigger ISS. When power came on the bridge display would show a GRUB boot loader and Linux kernel boot output.

Their experiences should have been total immersion in the frontier. Long range subspace had not yet been mastered, so they are cut off after going much beyond our solar system… or maybe they can by stopping and boosting power achieve like 300 baud text links under proper conditions.

No transporters. EVAs and shuttles only. When they wanted to look at something in space it would be like the space walk scene from 2010 (the underrated 2001 sequel).

I'm not sure why you would think about entrepreneurship in particular, it's a small part of "elites".

I think the value of the personality traits you describe changes a lot with culture. For instance, I think the kind of confidence/charisma you're describing would go very poorly in Japan.

My intuition is that what you describe does happen, but it's a very small part of what's going on. I think that people who fall into this feedback loop are already psychologically predisposed, whereas there are plenty of people in the world who display this sort of confidence and charisma and came from nothing. My own internal model is 1st gen immigrants who run successful multi-store businesses.

It may look more consistent, but it misleads the reader about the (inconsistent) way the C declaration syntax works: in

int *const p, *q;

p is constant but q is not, while in either of

const int i, j;
int const i, j;

both i and j are constant, and

int i, const j;

is a syntax error. (This is still true but less relevant in C++, which made such an unintuitive mess of the declaration syntax that now the usual advice is to avoid declaring more than one variable per declaration at all.)
And this doesn't even cover the sub rosa truth that the degree was never the actual ticket to aristocracy. The degree is a necessary, but insufficient, cause of aristocratic acceptance. There will be plenty of skilled yet mysteriously impoverished basketweavers; they aren't allowed into the Serious basketweaving studios because they, er, aren't a good cultural fit. Yet, thanks to cultural factors, basketweaving has never been more popular! Bright young people pour into degree programs and reckon they'll change it from the inside! There's even good examples of that sort of thing on TV all the time!

The problem with .NET Core is that while the runtime is truly multiplatform, the development experience is not.

The performance improvements on each release are trully impressive, but I think at this point the focus should go towards a better development experience.

Developing on VS Code is such a hurdle thanks to the Omnisharp language server that constantly crashes, and the project does not seems to be among MS top priorities for .NET platform.

Restarting the IDE every few minutes is very frustrating and hardly justifiable from a productivity point of view.
The reason usually given by people (and even argued in liberal political philosophy) is that the possibility of wrongfully killing someone is not worth it. It's considered not only an injustice to the individual but also harms others effected by the loss of the person.

I agree, but I tend to think life imprisonment can be as bad or worse. Imprisoning someone for life is in many places simply torture, so we're wrongfully torturing someone for the remainder of their life instead while the effects on others can't be that much less, in fact it could prolong their suffering.

The question you have to answer in order to form your opinion is: Given that you are charged with a crime that you did not commit, would you rather serve life in prison (especially given the chance it could be a nightmare prison) or get the death penalty? Personally, I'd take the latter, as I see the former as torture.

My Trekkie friends (also mid 30s) are into Picard for the nostalgia factor. At least, during our pre-COVID watch parties, the talk before each episode was almost always about which TNG and VOY stars were appearing and in what capacity.

So far, have been liking the platform. But I don't know, LinkedIn's ide was nice in the first place, and then came people...
Actually yeah, from the content creators I know and have talked to, as long as you’re verified on the platform you can still post whatever. The assumption seems to be that solo stuff will still be fine, but maybe not the actual sex.

But it will still effectively be a crackdown on marginalized sexualities seen as “deviant” (aka the trans and bdsm communities). That was honestly the majority of the sexual content on Tumblr back in the day; they were on Tumblr because the mainstream porn industry doesn’t create a space that isn’t exploitative and fetishy.

The same is true on OF - trans men and women making porn are way disproportionately represented in the top creators lists. Sex work is how a lot of trans people have had to survive, and OF has made sex work much safer than it’s ever been. It would be a shame to lose an outlet like this — tempts me to go out and create one specifically for porn.

Yo can show it physically by inflating a balloon or pushing things in a weak cardboard box (or marbles on a table and a cord, if you insist on circles). Intuition building is very useful to build concepts, even perhaps more than proofs. See https://betterexplained.com/articles/adept-method/ for a discussion of this.

You can also introduce the idea of problem decomposition: first identify target shape, then argue how to approach it with 36 fences, then try to derive the formula for the area.

At the end of the day, a good teacher will try to do their best with the curriculum, and a bad one will find a way to proselitize wokeness if they chisse to do so; in my opinion the good direction is to empower teachers with resources and curriculum discretion, and in turn require them better results.
I invested about a decade in my LinkedIn profile, putting stacks of reasonably high quality posts and articles on there. I got up to around 20k fairly organic connections/followers. The content was good too. All in all it was a big part of my career and business.

About 2 years ago I really started to feel that LinkedIn jumped the shark. The (left leaning) virtue signalling, constant boasting, aggressive sales just destroyed the signal to noise ratio and it felt like a time sink. Their algorithm also became very unpredictable in terms of reach of your content.

I ended up putting the profile in the bin, and will concentrate on other platforms. I think YouTube in particular is still early for B2B content in the grand scheme of things.
You don't have to restart the IDE. Usually you can just tell Omnisharp to reanalyze your solution and wait a few seconds for that to complete. If Omnisharp has actually crashed, this will start up a new instance, too.

It would definitely be nice if more resources were put towards making Omnisharp smarter and more stable, especially as it seems to be the premier implementation of an LSP server.
