Telemetry is not mentioned. Many apps nowadays are extremely chatty and record a wide range of details of use. In theory this helps to optimize usage and discover blocking bugs, but in reality it is mostly just an annoyance that enables service providers to spy on what users are doing.

And asking for permission for location comes up often. If you say no it will keep asking. Also asking for access to contacts, photos, etc...

Not sure if anyone else has experienced issues with the keyboard. Sometimes keyboard is blocking the screen and I can't get it to go away or the opposite where I can't get the keyboard to come up when I need to use it.

That stability existed due to half of the population (women) not having the option to attain high paying jobs.

While it's true that women's professional opportunities were limited in the past, I disagree that this was the sole or even primary reason for single-income stability. My grandparents' generation, for example, often saw one parent (usually the father) working a manufacturing or union job that paid enough to cover a mortgage, raise several children, and afford basics, even with the mother not working outside the home. The purchasing power of those wages was simply far greater.

I am in a similar boat. My problem is that once I lose momentum on a project I have no interest in every revisiting the work I have done. Sometimes it is a full day of coding, sometimes it is a couple continuous days coding. Once I break away from the computer and start living life it feels like to much work to load all of the project back into my brain. I would finish more projects if I didn't have friends, family, a house, or a life and sometimes I wish for that.

We've lost the fundamental stability of a time when one income could comfortably sustain a family. There has been a systemic shift that undermines family well-being.

If the author was really done with social media they would delete their accounts. Since the accounts are not deleted the door is still open. I deleted my accounts over 5 years ago and don't miss anything. In fact I think it has strengthened my connections with friends pushing me to text and call more people. The only regret I have is as a security researcher I lose out on some good OSINT data. There are ways around it but the walled gardens are quite secure and require ID to enter.

«XBOW submitted nearly 1,060 vulnerabilities. All findings were fully automated, though our security team reviewed them pre-submission to comply with HackerOne’s policy on automated tools»

That seems a bit unethical. I’ve thought companies specifically deny usage of automated tools. A bit too late ey…?

They acknowledge that in the article and all submissions are human reviewed before they are submitted.

This looks like a much more sophisticated version of my setup. I had Aider vibe code me a script that just manages cloning a repo into a subfolder, optionally with some kind of identifying suffix on it, and then wrote a tiny script to automate calling that script, `cd`ing into the directory, and then running codex-cli on it. The resulting workflow: I open a new terminal, type `vibe --suffix=<suffix> <prompt>`, and then I can go do something else.

Could you share your scripts?

How do you even manage 15 good friends as an adult? That would be 1 friend a day rotating every 2 weeks. Seems like a lot

8200_unit · 8 months ago

typically in groups. You can see multiple friends at once
