Actually pretty good advice in this article. I work in an email-heavy industry and my advice would have been exactly the same. I have to declare email bankruptcy once a year though, so I might not do it properly.

> Maybe they don’t start as a “computer programmer” there, maybe they start as an analyst or some other role. But the ability to program on top of that role will be very valuable and likely set up a great career.

I believe this is the best advice in the thread. The ability to build custom programs that solve real corporate problems is an invaluable skill: - An accountant who can code is a 10x accountant. - An analyst who can code is a 10x analyst. - A procurement manager who can code is a 10x procurement manager. The list goes on.

You don't need to be part of some new 21st-century enlightenment of Rust programmers. A bit of JS, Ruby, or Python here and there, layered on top of an existing corporate skill, is so valuable to a company it's crazy. I think this is a way to be explored for juniors struggling on the job market today.

As CEO of HTMX, I am very proud of the work achieved by the team.

Just made a donation. LibreOffice is not going in the direction I would like to, but this software is bringing so much to the community.

It’s not like this issue had been solved like… what… 15 freaking years ago in China.

The fact that this is shown as a « big step forward » is a a great example of how much the EU is lagging behind. It’s honestly quite sad.

Anyway, let’s wait and see, I already used Wero, it works OK, I don’t really get what the difference is between this and instant bank transfers but again, let’s wait and see.

I tried Datastar and it was great, then I saw this kind of move and it turned me down immediately.

I don't believe it is the right way to play. A Pro support would have been better. Plus the fact that the licensing prevent to use the Datastar Pro in any kind of open-source project. Very strange move.

I read a lot of negative/pesimistic comments, but just to put things in perspective, this phone was developped by a middle/high school guy when he was 13~16 years old… come on guys…

Don't understand shit, but congrats on the website. Is this React 19 ?

Firefox might be irrelevant in terms of market share but is more relevant now than ever as it is one of the few browser that is independent from Chromium.

Mozilla really need to get its shit together and double down on Firefox development and improvement.

The de-facto apps should have been PWA, free, open, accessible, cross platform.

Holy shit (hits the fan). For sure CrowdStrike will be held accountable in several countries, but I believe that some conclusions need to be drawn also from a customer/user perspective.

- Is it reasonable to grant such privilege access to a piece of software that ultimately is a black box ?

- Is it reasonable to put a Microsoft / Commercial / Closed source OS in critical infrastructure ? If not considered as critical, then “important” infrastructure ?

- Is it reasonable to have more than 70% of the computers/servers that run important infrastructure on the same OS / software ? How about the mitigation of the risks etc…

I sincerely hope that all of this CrowdStrike mayhem will push stakeholders to draw some conclusions and actions.

It's not a question of fragile, it's a question of constantly bypassing the security that is supposed to be in place.

I can perfectly understand that my company refuses me to install an app on my laptop because it may cause security concerns (it my case, it was Tencent's WeChat app). What I don't understand is why I can't install my apps (which are very "normal" third party applications) on my company laptop, while at the same time there's apparently no issue to grant insane privileges to a third party application that allows god knows who to push updates without any check and literally brick workstations.

Regardless of anti-virus, threat detection, online games anti-cheat or whatever, no third party applications should be able to push updates over the air without the user being warned and consenting. period.

Another thing that also need to be highlighted is why everyone runs Windows ? We have all seen the pictures of the displays in the subways stations or the advertisement displays, screens showing the gates numbers at the airports etc... Does this kind of tool really requires a paid MS license to fulfill its purpose ? I mean, why MS Windows is necessary to display the number of a boarding gate & flight information in an airport ? Why not using a Raspberry Pi or something ? And most importantly, why a display showing the gate number in an airport has to be connected to the Internet ?

You forgot something. It’s from FT, so there should be something about “deregulating national industries” and el famoso “open public strongholds to the private sector”.

I'll try to build my own corne keyboard so I recently dived into custom mechanical keyboard rabbit hole, which seems to be more of a black hole from which nothing comes out, not even light. (Plot twist: I have no experience in soldering, so that's gonna be fun...)

Otherwise, ThePrimagen pisses me off always talking about Neovim and Vim motions, so I am right now in the painstaking process of learning Vim motions and I want my life to end because of the learning curve.
