Wondering what would happen if they actually paid using bitcoin. How does refund works in this case?


Fine!


This is kind of the main problem. You should't have employees at IC2 if they are IC4 worthy. They will just try to find another job, instead of waiting 5 years before reaching a level of someone who is performing same or worse.


Maybe starlink?


Starlink is not live for general usage yet.


I think the main advantage of go is it's learning curve. Standard lib is quite small, so even with no experience, in a few weeks you could be fully productive on any go code base. With e.g. C, Rust, Java, Ruby this would probably be months.


Would it though? They already had matching, smaller size, RAM modules. If they went this far, they could definitely get the proper tools as well.


Did anyone here start learning PHP in 2020? How were you introduced to PHP? Are there any good resources to start with?

When I was introduced to PHP everything was still in a single file, PHP, HTML, JS, CSS.


Based on personal experience from using both Thinkpad T series and MS Surface Book, keyboard on Surface Book feels even better than the one on Thinkpad.


To add to that, trackpad on Surface Book (can only talk about the first gen one, haven't tried 2nd or 3rd gen yet) is also by far the best trackpad I've ever seen on a non-macbook laptop.


Thanks. Will take a look at that.


I actually hope they will just fix all of their security/privacy issues, and that we will end up with a decent video conferencing app that actually values users privacy.

I don't get why people are so negative. I mean zoom is not unique in this sense, many of the everyday apps we use share at least some of these issues.

How many of us use Intel CPUs that had (still have) infinite number of vulnerabilities? Or MacOS that at some point allowed root to login without passwords? How many security issues we (software engineers) create on a daily bases simply because the management needs something for yesterday?

Yes, me too! I was going to edit my comment again to clarify, but I figured it wasn’t worthwhile trying to list all the caveats explicitly. But yes, if they fix this stuff and continue to be successful, that would be good.

I disagree with your premise there. Sure, security bugs can sneak in if you’re rushed, but that’s qualitatively different from actively exploiting security holes and using dark UI patterns to make your own life easier. I hope most engineers would refuse to implement feature requests like that. It should be considered a form of malpractice.


> I mean zoom is not unique in this sense, many of the everyday apps we use share at least some of these issues.

Very few. Zoom is written with a total disregard to security.


I see that most of the `don't use mongodb for analytics` are being down-voted, however I tend to agree with them. For all the people out there looking for the database for analytics please check Clickhouse from Yandex, it's easy to get started, amazingly fast and open source.
