You can disable the switch animation, which makes it much nicer to use. Just instantly changes the content on all your monitors then. It even works with fullscreen applications on different desktops...

Knowing how your data is structured in memory is a trivial exercise for anyone working on a game engine like the author of this talk. You don't even need to think about it. The layout of every data structure used by the engine is known and chances are you have implemented a bunch of them yourself.

There are a lot of people who have given up on a) and instead spend all their time trying to tear the stuff other people build down because they got bored.

Why would you? Nobody can connect to it without your private key. Or is there something I am not aware of? Genuine question, as I am running wireguard in a few places and thought it was secure by default.

Can we buy keys for all users in our companies or just one per Cloudflare account?

I'm confused, it seems like this will require processing the entire database for every request, which would be unusable in practice. Did I miss the trick?

The most effective way is to be active in communities for the thing you want to be doing. Get a reputation as one of the people who know what they're doing. Eventually others will start reaching out to you privately when their companies are looking for new hires. If you get your foot in the door this way, your location becomes mostly irrelevant.

Sounds unusual, but I've previously gotten very well paid jobs in multiple startups through this kind of personal networking - you even get to skip most of the interview process. Meanwhile everything I applied to without any connections has been a wash.

Negotiations are much easier if you can deal with working as a US contractor, dropping most of your employment protection laws for more money.

The technology is getting smaller! It's just that at the same time, people still demand orders of magnitude higher performance. There are physical limits to how small a cooler can be, and that takes up like 95% of the space.

It seems like the offense in question happened more than a decade ago. What can this person do to move past it and rehabilitate into society?

What if that application doesn't support that setup either? So many services online barely manage to let you setup TOTP, nothing like this...

I'm curious what's the alternative if the script must have those credentials to do its job.

Seeing these huge companies with practically infinite resources get owned one after another sure makes me wonder if we even have any chance at all to do this correctly in our small business.

Perhaps they just don't care about security?

That's the fun part, you don't!
