Engineer and coder that likes memes.
While he advocates for it, that’s also a point that Martin brings up multiple times when he talks about his project “fitnesse”.
Basically saying that they left it open how stuff can be saved, but the need has never arisen to actually pivot to a different system.
Introducing a Captcha on a form on my website basically blocked bots 100% of the time. It’s arguably good enough from a practical standpoint.
If someone really wants to exploit my site, then they will find a way. You can only make it harder but never truly impossible if you don’t want to dispose of all convenience.
Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.
EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.
Not really. Exceptions are a controlled way of indicating something went wrong in an application.
The only point where you wouldn’t know about the possibility of one is when you don’t know enough about the language features you’re using or when you use a badly documented library or framework.
Yeah, I had a similar case with some authentication middleware I used that was part of a library.
It would always throw an exception when a user wasn’t authenticated instead of just giving me some flag I could check.
Wouldn’t have done it that way, but it was okay for an API controller.
Another upside of Jetbrains over Adobe is that you can get edu-licenses that allow you to use every software of theirs.
The best deal our university could get from Adobe was 25% off on Photoshop if at least 200 students bought it.
I’d have recommended it as well.
Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.
Meme is funny, but that exception used as flow control hurts.
Neither young or naive. Just assuming others share my experience.
Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)
That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.
I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.
While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.
If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.
It’s sad that this works. You’d think especially software professionals would be the most vigilant about running unknown code.

Like many others already said. Being self taught is ok, but employers need at least some kind of confirmation about your skills. So getting some kind of officisl certificate will make your job search a lot easier.
Microsoft offers a bunch of .NET certificates if you do their C# courses for example. You can also become a certified Linux professional.
Find something that interests you and then start learning by doing some tutorials. The most important thing is that you have fun and won’t burn yourself out working in a field you don’t enjoy.
Where I’m from there’s demand for Web Devs, Java devs, .NET devs, It Support, Network Engineers, Embedded systems, whatever.
My immediate thought. And no worries about ink drying up and whatever else might break suddenly. Just pay a shop if you want printing as a service.
There’s a joke in there about grannys with boob jobs, but I’m not yet depraved enough to try and find it.
Agreed. It’s really shit for new code, but if I’m writing glue code stuff or repetitive code it saves a lot of time spent on typing.
