Is the Secure Boot shim thing related to Windows breaking dual-boot setups of late? Are they all updating to avoid some kind of Secure Boot issue in general?

I just found https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/ today. Structured course developed by Google for its Android devs.

I found it completely by accident. Was looking at their GitHub repos for something, and saw this in there. I might even try to go through some of it (though I also want to get better at Nim).

I got on Hired; the other three seem to be more for full-time devs (I’ve done dev work in support of my jobs, but not as a job in itself).

I’ll have a look! Thanks!

Indeed bought out GlassDoor, so I’ve been using that instead; as well as LinkedIn & whatnot. Market’s also apparently more amenable to novices and specialized folks right now, so you’re going to have better luck than a lot of us I think!

Thanks for digging into this on your end. Yeah, that 7 year stint was with an outfit wherein I was the constant, and everyone else kept coming & going. The 3 year job, I got canned for an overtime dispute; and they replaced me with two people after. The rest are a mix of layoffs or other reasons for not staying: I’m not one to just “quit”. Give me the right org; that’s not overly worried about being cheap, or has too many people coming & going; and I’d be happy to stay. Otherwise, I feel like my career has been more or less a “firefighter” vs a “builder” (I had to do both in the 7 year job). I hope that makes some kind of sense?

By fake recruiters and spam for PMP training…

Struggling a little with this too. The distance of time is my biggest grief: it’s hard to apply for jobs, when my most relative experience for various roles is 5-10 years old. And the further along in my career, the less there is to show, or people to speak up for what I accomplished. “Did I really do that, at all”… worst case of imposter syndrome I can think of.

I think that’s been asked before. That’d be a massive undertaking, and they also support architectures that I don’t think Rust does (yet).

A lot of commercial apps are built with it. And if you’re not using Kotlin, you’re probably using Java for Android dev.

He went from a let-and-let-live, free-loving libertarian; to a more “kooky” libertarian. IMO, he was more palatable 20 years ago than now; though it’s hard to top the fall-from-grace Stallman has had…

I saw that list, and figured that they were distancing themselves from obsolete encryption (MD5 & SHA-1), as well as remove database management from their scope (which seems like the right move, IMO).

If any of you happen to still be on Reddit, I actually maintain a “catalog” of these newer languages, as they come across my radar. One of my more recent finds is MiniScript, which the author of that has been using to port a fair amount of classic BASIC games from that GitHub archive I posted about recently. I got sucked into Nim, which seems like a good synthesis of Python, Javascript, and C++; c/nim exists for anyone interested.

I saw some folks posting that they were doing Lemmy instances with cheap Vultr instances. Are you using something similar? And how’s the bandwidth going with peering to other nodes? I’ve toyed around with the idea of starting my own node.
