Don't contact me for cryptocurrency or adtech jobs, please.

I agree in principle, but also find myself often doing my best thinking when making coffee or just "idly" staring out of a window, and would find it annoying to be interrupted just because I'm not at my desk. Luckily I work from home.

True. And much of the work at ETH is conducted by foreigners, but the marketing association is still there.

It's only partially patriotism. More importantly, I suspect, just a brand that sells well, no matter what you are selling. That said, EPFL/ETH and CERN have done some important things in computer science.

That's the thing, JWT is not an authentication protocol, that's just one (the most frequent) use-case of "transfering claims". The footguns, e.g. the choice of encrypted or not, or symmetric or asymmetric crypto, are a result of the flexbility required to cover the other use-cases. Maybe what's needed is a subset of JWT that's just for AuthN.

Chile is even worse, at least in terms of clock time, since, like Argentina, we are on UTC-3 most of the year, when geographically we should be on -5.

I only evaluated hasura, haven't used it in production. What made me decide against it (it wasn't an easy decision, hasura does look cool) was the caching and scaling stories. The caching semantics for GraphQL are in general less mature than e.g. REST, but if hasura at least supported queries over GET it would help, by allowing CDNs to cache those requests. On the topic of scaling I was concerned that making a single postgres instance the bottleneck for the whole app does seem a bit of an expensive way to scale. But of course this all depends on the access patterns and the economics of the particular project.

> Each hash is supposed to be unique and you cannot rewrite history with the exact same SHA-1.

I thought SHA-1 wasn't considered secure?

Similar for Angel, which probably includes Ángel. I would consider them the same name. Even with the shared meaning, the pronunciation is different enough.

I think creating libs is one reason, Iirc was not supported by shadow.

Strange. I had to unpack at Schiphol two weeks ago. And go through the scanner even though I wasn't headed to the US. All in all, one of the worst airport security experiences in Europe. In Lisbon I didn't have to unpack.

What are the charger requirements? Mine doesn't charge with the 60W provided by my monitor.

I don't have an opinion on the benefits of schools and degrees, since I don't have one, but I am sure you could have gone work for FAANG after 4 years of autodidact learning and work experience, as well.
