You can disable the email you use publicly as a login email.

I would recommend you look at some other guides before you do this but the gist is My Account > Your Account > Manage Account Information. Then you can add a new email that you do not share as your primary login email, and disable login from the email you use to send emails.

New comment by azthecx in "Make tmux pretty and usable (2024)"

It is actually true though, I only use tmux nowadays when I am SSHed into a server that I need to do some work on.

The only issues I've had with it is that sometimes it's hot keys conflict with vim, but you can easily turn it temporarily off with ctrl+ g.

If you're already used to tmux I'm not sure you would benefit much from changing, but it definitely has a better out of the box with pane hints, names, and more user friendly hot keys.

Not all companies operate like this, but many large ones do. Smaller chops can have exactly the kind of culture that you describe, but they're also quite often hard to find as they tend to have some stable business and long employee retention, it's unlikely you will find them at the same time you're looking for a job.

I currently use Headscale, can you give some more details on how you use this to the same effect as Tailscale / Headscale?

With this type of experience and knowledge requirements, even Cryptography, that pay range seems quite on the low side. Someone with those skills can get paid far more in the Netherlands

Did you really notice a significant drop off in connection attempts? I tried this some years ago and after a few hours on a random very high port number I was already seeing connections.

Please don't put words into other people's mouths, I've never made that claim nor do I agree with it.

    Margin stock accounts also exist, although I don't know enough to know what situations it makes sense to use them in.

I was obviously replying to this part of the parents comment.

As a software developer do you genuinely believe that it is harder for indie game developers to build online infrastructure and pay for its hosting costs rather than build some LAN feature into the game, or to package local server binaries into the game as it was done just a few decades ago?

There are arguments to be made, especially if you're young and just starting out to take a reasonable amount of margin and kickstart your compounding growth.

Say you just started working, have no use for your money and are willing to bet 20k on index funds vs a 90% market drop, you should be able to take 2k in leverage and set up your position be auto closed.

But of course as you have more money this type of market exposure starts shifting as you have shorter timer horizons to rebuild and are instead going into more of a wealth conservation mode.

Interesting slides, it's always nice to see different ways to set up these kinds of systems and with a practical git repo to boot!

In general the public transit system in the US is so underfunded and badly executed when compared to road infrastructure that only disadvantaged people that can't afford car transportation will even consider using it.

azthecx — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 17:36:28 +0000

No, with vibe coding you are not a reviewer an editor or an author, quoting from the source:

    There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding", where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.
    ...
    I "Accept All" always, I don't read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it.

At first glance it's not immediately obvious to me, why would you pick Sentry or Bugsink over something included in the Grafana stack? What's the use use

It really tends to be because the philosophy of homerow / economy of movement is quite high on the split / ergo keyboard communities, combined with the ease of creating temporary layers (imagine you had multiple programmable shift buttons).

azthecx — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:37:02 +0000

It's such a new language, not even in 1.0.0 You won't really find companies willing to bet their livelihoods at such an early stage.

You can make your own though :)
