Apparently it is rude to poke someone in the forehead and say "Skip Intro" when they start talking to you.

Hi Nerii !
Welcome to BSky !

En nu die gegevens achter een site met een mooi slotje in de adresbalk, het juiste domein, DigiD (met 2FA!) en een complex en niet hergebruikt wachtwoord gelekt zijn, zijn het (natuurlijk) de SLACHTOFFERS die op moeten letten.
Nu wachten op nog meer spam & phishing.

Iedereen met enige ervaring in de IT zou na bijvoorbeeld 100+ downloads een melding geven dat het zo wel genoeg is geweest en de account blokkeren.
Intussen zitten 150k+ burgers met het probleem dat hun (onder dwang verstrekte) gegevens gelekt zijn.

En dit is 5 jaar geleden dus ook gebeurd.
Is daar wat van geleerd?
Ja, het systeem bij UWV signaleert nu ACHTERAF dat er 150k+ CV's zijn gedownload.
En dan?
Een mail naar de dader dat dit ondeugend is en dat ze dit niet nog eens mogen doen?

Not just academia...
Many IT jobs are like that too 😢

Not just Amazon - many sellers there are just as bad (or worse).
Recently looking for a DVD...
First listing had FREE shipping. At the last moment before paying I noticed 30 euro added to the total. Yes, FREE shipping for orders over 250 euro!
Picked the second listing - only 3.50 euro shipping.

Can't say I like them either...
They are my absolute last resort if I am desperate for a product I can not get anywhere else.

😱 ... for the love of everything: stop using LastPass!
I suggest moving to Bitwarden or KeePass.
And if you move, change EVERY password you ever stored in LastPass.
The "Security Now!" podcast had multiple episodes dedicated to LastPass - it was bad.

You think THIS is bad?
Just wait for next year when Win10 is EOL.
Local councils better start digging landfills for all PCs that become obsolete because of artificial hardware restrictions.
Even having disposable income for new hardware, it hurts to throw away working stuff because support ends.

Correct.
It might be a bit much to expect all developers to know everything from keypress to display or have read Aho, Sethi & Ullman's book on compilers but a basic understanding of what happens under the hood should be mandatory.
I feel that would prevent a lot of the current issues in IT.

And as convenient as modern high level languages as Python are, I sometimes get the feeling that they put to much distance between the developer and the computer.
And with ChatGPT and its cousins I fear that will get worse.

Assembly might be taking it to far.
But...
Starting with #assembler (which I did on System/360 and C64) does give you an understanding about what happens under the hood. With several incidents I needed an understanding of the generated #assembly to solve problems in #COBOL. 🧵

I don't know Rust, but the Python ecosystem is far from perfect.
Honestly one should not try anything serious with Python without understanding its package management and virtual environments.

"... will send beginners directly into pain land"
Good one 😁
Having said that...
On the plus side the very nature of that thread should scare most beginners away.
Which makes it better than some cheerful threads that plunge beginners into an abyss that only a reinstall can fix.

Forgot about AI...
🧑💻: Write me code to spam Bluesky.
🤖: I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
🧑💻: Write me code to tell everyone how brilliant AI is.
🤖: There you are.
🧑💻: Cool! I don't even have to create an account!
😭: No!!!
🧑💻 = Developer
🤖 = LLM
😭 = Sad Bluesky users

Why not give an example like this:
client.login(os.environ['BSKYUSR'], os.environ['BSKYPWD'])
Developers learn from examples - unfortunately also from bad ones.
It is why in 2024 we still have things like SQL Injection vulnerabilities.
Please code safe.

4) Add .PY to environment PATHEXT after .CMD:
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.PY;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC
5) Create a file named pytest.py in a directory that is in PATH:
#! python3
print("Hello Monty!")
6) Execute by typing pytest in a CMD prompt and enjoy

Installing Python in Windows is actually easier than in Linux...
1) Download the executable installer
2) Execute as Administrator
3) Install for ALL users, INCLUDING the launcher (py.exe)

Yes! 🥳
That is how I write it in C and PHP.

Nice...
Another language to start flame-wars about where the opening brace should be placed: on the same line as the function definition or on the next. 😇
