You’re going to get a lot of advise about what makes life worth living, but it sounds like you have low level depression. Talking to a therapist and looking at an antidepressant are your first steps, along with the other things that can help with low level depression.

“Subtle” thirst trap. Trying to get people to click on the profile which will have a link to whatever spam they’re peddling.

I moved from IC to full time management this year and I’m struggling with this. I don’t control the money, the most I can do is give a glowing review and argue for my team members to get raises but the budget is not in my hands. I do have a small “team building” budget that I can spend on food and drinks so I take them out for a nice meal as often as I can. What else am I supposed to do?

Thanks for the explanation! It makes a lot of sense.

How do you find having the navigation buttons in the middle? It seems like it would be a bit harder to hit them?

Not everyone is used to pressing back and forwards on there browser

Because your browser has one. Why would you need a second?

I recently rewatched all three, and they all hold up as I remember. The first one is great, the second could be great if there was a bit more editing to trim down some overly long monologues, and the third one is a bit meh.

In The Matrix 2, Trinity uses nmap to check for an ssh exploit, then cracks it using a cli tool, all from Linux.

Edit: The ssh exploit was a real, known vulnerability at the time.

Big mood Jennie, big mood.

I once worked for a small company that was based around using a patented variation on this. It works really well and creep can be basically eliminated by using multiple counter-tensioned steel cables instead of rope and running a burn in process to let the tension settle evenly. You can even get an arbitrary number of rotations by extending the capstan.

I think the main reason it isn’t used more is that assembly is more difficult due to needing to deal with winding the cables and a general lack of knowledge on how to do it well.

It is such bullshit that it works. It doesn’t fix everything but damnit it does enough that I have to keep doing it.

For the same reason that everyone used the Knights Templar or Venetian bankers to pass messages and money.

EDIT: And you’re talking only 100 years ago. We had radios, telegraphs and telephones 100 years ago. It was reasonably common knowledge that it was possible to listen in on those even if you weren’t the intended recipient. Heck, part of the plot of The Count of Monte Cristo (1846) involves hacking a telegraph system with a MIM attack to manipulate international financial markets.

Honestly, it’s not as difficult as you might think. People have been using codes and cyphers as long as there has been writing and probably much before then. Explaining the need to keep things secret while communicating to people who are modern enough to have radio? Pretty easy.

The first one that comes to mind is Jimmy Hoffa, but they never found the body. He was almost certainly killed by the Mafia, but no specific person was ever prosecuted for it.

But we’re in the bad timeline, so a congressional logjam means that he takes lots of executive actions, the bought SCOTUS lets him and Congress can’t pass anything to stop him.

To claim a subdomain in the DNS system you have to have the domain first.

My motorcycle dealer has a similar sign about being sad and ugly.

“That that” can and probably should be replaced with “that which” in almost every instance it is used.

Edit: or “when that”

I’ve left two jobs because they were toxic. I always had something else lined up beforehand though.
