Yes, it's an invasion of privacy. You can't really opt-out of it currently.

There's a few ways to do it and some clients even has built-in tools for it. Often it's done by adding an image to an email which when is loaded by the email client is logged by a backend. They're abusing and circumventing how emails are supposed to work.

It's something that is pushed by people who do marketing so they got more metrics. However there's so many invasive things they currently do. Which is why I love stuff like the Brave browser which has built-in functionality block or even feed websites fake data to prevent fingerprinting (which is a currently a serious issue and super easy to do) and behaviour analysis on the fingerprint across the web.

Does it have anything to do with using an older iPhone (hardware issue) or is it a common issue among all iPhones?

@killames What do you mean? The http spec was great!

I do recommend trying NixOS. It takes some time to learn but it's an insanely well made OS with focus on Devops.

I'm trying my best to make WSL to work (because gaming) but 99% of my problems come from WSL and a bug ain't one.

I recently had one of those. Didn’t feel like the challenge was too far off what I'd usually do and the whiteboard interview actually had something to do with the architecture they're building. I got the job with no prior experience doing those interviews.

Yeah really love it when I try a design framework and I have to use the important tag on critical in-line CSS /s

I did end up nailing the test-case and after a long wait I was actually offered a job! I start in January, I'm so damned excited!

I’m a node.js developer that has never used express or react, bite me. I do use template engines, static generators and API'S though

@cmarshall10450 Do you work in Norway? If you do, it seems like just a bit experience within a company goes a long way. Though, don't leave your job unless you're guaranteed another one.

@Rebane Yeah it requires a bit of basic knowledge of how to use a computer however if it's anything like i.e my mother, she knows how to do it but has such a defeatist view so it's easier to give the job to someone else than actually trying.

It's like asking a painter to help hanging up a painting.

Also I bet the concept were based upon the types of sensors that measure the resistance in earth. Those cheap humidity sensors often corrode fairly quickly (due to electrolysis) unless you mean the ones that are expensive as hell which I doubt most people would buy for their plants (and you need several). So the project would never actually help reduce waste as you'd need to buy a new sensor every week or so.

There are actually some good applications of using IoT by using stuff like node-red (i.e a sensor reads a number, something turns on or off etc.) and using the proper protocols that are made secure. There are of course things you wouldn't want to add to the list of IoT.

I can think of one application to the thing they made, plants often need sunlight or a strong grow lamp and how fast the humidity changes or how much water it requires actually changes by the day, a plant might actually also get too much light and get sunburned. If you connected up blinds and a local weather station, you can actually control the humidity, sun exposure and with the pump add additional humidity as it's needed (tons of sun one day or clouded another day) rather than just controlling the watering. A good system often consists of things that actually seem redundant to add IoT to.

*simulates slow internet by switching out all internet equipment with dial-up*

@wolt Half a year later, yes, I started with it and still do it. No clue how I got referred to more places :') + I got a really large budget now for later courses that I am in charge off!

I feel your pain, I got shared internet with horrible coverage. Have to sit in specific angles and places to get internet connection and often the internet just drops out randomly from seconds to minutes to hours. I often experience very slow speeds as well.

My landlord is supposed to send down a LAN cable from his modem but it's taken 6 months so far. Worst is that I got a $300 pro router that's just collecting dust.

Eyey, this has nothing to do with that person being 17, they're almost young-adults only separated by a year. I've met pretty smart kids that actually understand that programming is feeding a computer/device very specific instructions one at a time, word by word, which may eventually be made into a reusable script. It's not that stupid saying that jailbreaking is script making, however it's on a different level than app making where you fuck around directly with the OS instead of in the environment that the OS has made for you. Should just have told the kid that they're two different things. Developing for the phone instead of tweaking the phone.

@DenRand Seems good on paper when it comes to size and memory usage and I've gotten some time to test it the local dev server, seems like a fairly good framework! Already working on localisation and migrating to the proper dev server :) Thanks for the great tip!

On my Macbook quantum actually draws more power and lags when showing CSS animations. Chrome runs smoothly but consumes waaaay more RAM

I used name.com (for com, today I use others) and then just point the nameservers towards the serveres and handle records there instead. No variation in performance whoever you pick to resell you a name.

@BitFlipped Uh what, how is that related to having options for girls where they can join a course (once a week) where they're sure there's other girls? Note that having courses for girls does not mean not having courses where everyone is included. It's just that from the course's where everyone is included there's usually a big ratio difference between girls and boys.

Not to mention that those courses are only marketed for girls, there's not much different from the normal courses.

I'm gonna hold a course for girls most likely in the near future.

Had some experience with courses before and there's already girls that are interested, there's usually at least one girl but they tend to need to be really interested to actually decide to even finish the course. Why? Because girls often hang out with other girls, being the only girl in a class of 5-15 guys is not very including and 75% of the learning process is often being social, seeing what others create and showing others.

Unless if you're more outgoing than a the average fellow or end up being comfortable with the opposite gender from a young age, well shit, you need the interest, strong interest before even learning what programming is.

"What the fuck"

Well there's tons of people who die each year trying to fix washing machines. If you opened the machine you just got lucky you didn't screw it up. After 7 years of doing electronics I would never touch anything that runs on 120v or 220v AC, it's a serious concern if you didn't properly secure everything inside it. Maybe it works but maybe the earth is lose and eventually the case goes live due to a broken cable.

Got engaged by the comments, just gonna shoot an illustration into the mix. If you're going to throw away privacy that includes having the camera on your phone always online - which someone (or everyone) can access at all times and look at just like an IP camera. Imagine your whole house having glass walls that all sounds pass through which can be recorded and brought back at any time in your life, not so funny when you got the running shits.

Another thought that terrifies me is that suddenly something you can joke with a good friend about has to be avoided because you can be misunderstood and you can end up being prosecuted. No privacy means everyone can know everything you say and do, both in the past and present. Free to interpret it any way they want even if they know you or not.
