His argument is essentially that people are not toxic enough in online meetings to innovate.

Yeah, I saw this coming at least 5 years ago.

It’s the way Linus talks and acts, how their whole business revolves around a parasocial relationship with the viewers.

He actually became what he hated about NCIX so much.

Public key auth, and fail2ban on an extremely strict mode with scaling bantime works well enough for me to leave 22 open.

Fail2ban will ban people for even checking if the port is open.

A ‘no take, only throw’ mentality.

1. Copy/Paste
2. It seems like a lot of people are talking about twitter even if mostly negative. I see it in the news and online way more often than before Elon bought it. And we are talking about it now ;)

Maybe that’s the point though? You were able to type it into a comment and have it pop up on our screen identically to the actual logo.

He wants people to type the symbol instead of ‘X’

The worst part of it is that the author also included this quote from the creators of the technology.

“Operating in the optical spectrum, rather than the limited amount of licensed radio wavelengths”

Like it’s right there and they still didn’t clue in.

That’s not what they are trying to do at all though.

The article makes it sound more so like they want their own ‘great firewall’ like China, or to go even further and create something akin to North Korea.

No reason to reinvent tcp/ip in any case.

I see your point, but I would almost argue that starting out with all these shortcuts available in high level languages is ‘jumping into the deep end’ itself.

When a newbie sees obscure error messages in some of these libraries they might not have any idea what they mean or why they were triggered. My opinion is that having a smaller set of tools to start is actually simpler despite being able to do less with them.

I’m slightly biased because I started with C 😅

In addition to what this guy said, don’t just use libraries to skip steps when writing small programs.

For example when parsing a file you will often use the split and strip functions in python, but learning how to implement these by yourself will teach you more.

To really learn fundamentals you should try and implement most operations yourself. It’s why in my opinion C is a better language to start with, because it forces you to learn the fundamentals.

That’s all tier 1 help desk ever does anyway.

From my experience they know less about the product than I do when I try to get support on it.
