Readit News- Deleted files and development artifacts that were never meant to go public.
- My name and email address.
- Cringy commit messages.
I assumed these commits and their metadata would be private.
It was embarrassing. I was in high school, I was a noob.
I got pwned this way before (by a pentester fortunately). I had to configure Apache to block the .git directory.
(“real” deployments would use systemd-networkd and config files but for simple things…who cares)
No matter how good computers and networking get, text-based tools always seem to win for remote administration. I’ve tried forwarding X servers, mounting remote file systems with sshfs, vscode’s remote features, VNC, RDP, but I always seem to revert back to just tmux and TUI tools.
Social anxiety is a condition that cannot be thought away, you cannot rationalize social anxiety nor can it be represented as a cost/benefit analysis of risk of being disliked vs. reward of being liked. You can feel socially anxious without having social anxiety. You can be depressed without having depression. You will be depressed after your beloved pet dies. You will be socially anxious walking into a room full of people you haven't met before.
Psychiatrists are way better equipped to diagnose these things not because they can read diagnostic manuals (anyone can) but because their training exposes them to real cases.
There’s a world of difference between feeling awkward and quiet at a social event vs having heart palpitations and panic attacks that prevent you from even going outside.
ARM seems to be popular in the server space and it’s nice to see it trickling down to the PC market.
What has Google been doing all this time?

Did Section 174 changes accelerate tech job losses? It's unclear from the paper because they only look at the data excluding tech firms, not only tech firms.
I want to see cause-and-effect: the cause being tax changes, the effect being tech firm layoffs, but they don't analyze the effect.
I tried leaning in. I really tried. I'm not a web developer or game developer (more robotics, embedded systems). I tried vibe coding web apps and games. They were pretty boring. I got frustrated that I couldn't change little things. I remember getting frustrated that my game character kept getting stuck on imaginary walls and kept asking Cursor to fix it and it just made more and more of a mess. I remember making a simple front-end + backend with a database app to analyze thousands of pull request comments and it got massively slow and I didn't know why. Cursor wasn't very helpful in fixing it. I felt dumber after the whole process.
The next time I made a web app I just taught myself Flask and some basic JS and I found myself moving way more quickly. Not in the initial development, but later on when I had to tweak things.
The AI helped me a ton with looking things up: documentation, error messages, etc. It's essentially a supercharged Google search and Stack Overflow replacement, but I did not find it useful letting it take the wheel.
