Most of the tech YouTubers are really noob engineers.

Joma was a data scientist. He is an L3 engineer at Google and he hasn't done much during the last 1 year based on his internal stats.

I saw tech leads stats while he was at Google and that dude did nothing during his time. I'm sure he was an IC before he became a lead.

Clement talks about system design bull shit but he's a math major who worked on some angular front end while he was at Google. Basically his experience in tech is mostly involving using mat-button and mat-input. He also quit FB in a month.

Listening to tech lead gives me cancer. That guy was also some front end/ mobile engineer. I don't think any less of mobile engineers but tech leads acts as if he built some large scale systems at Google and FB. His opinion about react native shows how much of a noob he is. He also talked about docker in one of his video which showed he had some fundamental misunderstanding of what docker is. In his courses, he struggles to explain simple algorithms.

I don't know how these people have the courage to claim themselves as some sort of experts in the field when they are extreme noobs. They also sell some shady courses and are robbing innocent college kids.

One thing they all do well is talk. Which I give them 10/10.

Mah noob wannabe language designer side here again...

...Idea: Automatic/implicit interfaces.

1. do you know a language that has (something like) this?

2. good idea or a bad idea? why?

3. thanks :)

So i wanna get my hands dirty in tech hardware. i have learned the abc of computers only 7 years ago, and i still consider myself a very noob in computers since my first computer was a laptop and even today ita still the laptop.

i got 0 experience with assembling, 0 experience setting up my network cards, cpu disks , ram in slots and what not.

but this changes in next few weeks. i am fed up with ugly jamf limitations on my office laptop, fed up with the 20-mins-to-run emulators on my personal laptop , and overall fedup with this capitalist mindset that goes into making these "4 years until shit is weak" laptops.

the only exception i find in laptops are the mac laptops which are delightful to be used , especially there hardware. however they too seem to be made with $$$ in mind and i am not going to spend $4k on a piece of beautiful metal which can't run emulators properly.

so my dear seasoned professionals, can you guide me with how to build a PC? the only requirement is smooth experience with android studio emulators and a possibility to upgrade processor, ram , ssd, etc whenever the tech grows (which i guess is a possibility with PCs, right?)

So i wanna try explain the concept of JWT to a 5(+55) year old, and also to myself who is noob at web stuff. please tell me if this is a correct analogy, because i am myself confuse regarding how its secure?

So A wants B, a blind jeweller, to keep his super valuable notebook page with bank passwords safe. B says "give me your sheet and 5 nickels". (Assume that every nickel is always 1gm, made up of pure iron . Assume these statements to be true and world-known )

B takes A's nickels, melts them, adds 20gm more iron, adds 25gm copper, adds 25gm aluminum and then adds 25gm carbon dioxide and makes a mixture that is impossible to revert , but will automatically disintegrate after 24 hours due to CO2 (again, pure true statement, but this formula is only known to B) .

He makes 2 exact copies of keys from the 100 gm mixture, gives one to A and says
("Anyone can either give me 5 nickels of same name, markings, and year and i will give them back this secret sheet. or they give me the same key fo next 24 hours,and i will still give them back the sheets. after 24 hours, this key will also not work. I will even keep this on public display that i make keys using the materials I just showed, and then also no one would be able to create he exact same replica because they don't know how much percentage of each material went into the mixture"

So is this true? I have heard my friend boldly claim that they don't store user passwords as plaintext or even encoded text but rather doing this :
user password + company's private key --->[public domain encryption algorithm] = irreversible public key which is saved against user profile as "password"

public key + other info + time bound expiring logic ---->[public domain JWT encrypted token maker algorithm] = reversible JWTToken which is sent back to user

if user sends back token, then
token --> [JWT decoder] = public key + other info

if public key matches the stored public key , then user is a real user and should be given data

if user sends back the original password, then
user password + company's private key --->[public domain encryption algorithm] = irreversible public key .
again if public key matches the stored public key, then user will again receive access?

So this means all the time we are transmitting a lightly jumbled up version of public key, which is itself a hard, almost irreversible jumbled up version of our passwords that can only be unjumbled via a private key (or jewellers mixture ratios) that companies hold dearly ?
