What does the year have to do with it? Aesthetics and appearance have a lot to do with our decisions every day. The people you date, news you read, shoes you buy, etc.

There's nothing wrong with having a preference and/or being put off by something. I'm not bringing her down, her appearance and vibe just isn't for me.

I do like some things she has built and said, but I don't go out of my way to follow her or keep up with her.

I have been using vim and tmux for over 10 years as my primary development setup. I have tried others things like vscode, jetbrains ides and even cloud based ides (like cloud9, before Amazon bought it).

I have always gone back to vim and tmux for everything I do.

She speaks the truth often, but I never really got how she portrays herself. Not a huge fan... regardless, she should be able to say whatever she wants and use the platform she built.

It doesn't have user IDs... seems like an odd selling point... if you have good end to end encryption who cares if you have user IDs? I imagine you could do network analysis and so on to try an determine a network of people to deanonymize... but if you have encrypted chats, you have no context... unless guilt by association is enough.

On the other hand, a bigger problem than IDs would probably be IP addresses, etc. Random IDs per-conversation would also go a long way.

I stick with vim. It’s already installed anywhere that matters. Why bother installing neovim? I don’t rely on neovim only extensions.

In my experience, most people using neovim are really turning vim into vscode.

Yes… I agree. However, I imagine one handwritten letter to a friend or loved one would be far more enriching for most people than 100 published blog posts.

This seems like a long shot and a very optimistic view of a public presence. It’s equally likely anything you put online will be used against you in the future.

I doubt the risks out weigh the minute possibility of a benefit.

You don’t need a public presence in code or writing to be a valuable person.

Why publish at all? Who cares if something blows up and goes viral? Why should I spend any time publishing anything?

Personally, I’d rather spend time doing something that enriches my life and/or the lives of people I care about.

It isn’t clear why the discussion is around flutter.

The problem is when you define yourself by the technology you know. You’re an app developer or an engineer, not a flutter developer. Focus on showing your ability to make apps or whatever the target company does.

Is it just me, or is this over engineered? Brings me back to SOAP services and WSDLs.

My idea of a C development environment has always been Vim, Tmux and a decent compiler.

I am not sure it's so black and white with encryption. It depends on your threat model. Keeping it secure from an angry ex-girlfriend is one thing, but keeping it secure from a three letter agency is another.

The mistake you are referring to is someone that assumes "encrypted" means three letter agency safe, which is a pretty terrible way to leverage encryption. In that case, it's exactly like hopping in a Tesla and assuming auto pilot will take you home without your supervision.

Was this kid arguing about the automatic encrypt/decrypt file capability and Bram's unwillingness to use a cryptographically secure algorithm? It was a long, long thread that got heated.

I was with Bram though! It was never meant to be secure in a cryptographic sense...

Recession is fake news at this point.
