In the end, they both end up learning effectively the same lesson

Car manufacturers should get out of the dashboard design business. Just have an API standard for devices to control the car, and a USB port for users to plug in whichever device works best for them. You want a bunch of physical buttons? Cool, go down to AutoZone and buy a button panel that matches your needs. You want a big screen with carplay and a bunch of widgets? Mount your old iPad there.

The regulatory side would be the hard part. Devices would have to meet some safety standards and the car would have to refuse to drive unless an approved dashboard was connected, but it could be done.

Only 20 tickets? Sounds pretty stable

This is one of the things I talk about when people ask what the difference is between junior and senior developers.

A lot of security is just box-checking. A lot of it is hypothetical and relies on attackers exploiting a chain of multiple bugs that they probably won’t ever find…. But you still gotta fix it.

There’s no point in being so proud of your code and dismissing security concerns because you’re arrogant enough to think it can’t happen to you. Just learn to fix it and move on with your life.

Poor statement of her mission. IIRC Janeway says pretty clearly in one of the first episodes that they're still going to carry out their duty as a Starfleet ship to seek out new life and new civilizations, boldly go, etc. That's their mission, and getting home is an important part but not all of it.

You get two options.

Normally it’s a squashed commit of everything in a feature, with a commit message like:

[JIRA-1234] - Descriptive but Concise Name of Feature

But every now and then it’s multiple commits like:

quick fix
Ugh, fix typo
fuck fuck why doesn’t it work
Oh, I’m stupid

You’re supposed to wait until they re-release it on a new console with the same graphics for $70, then pay for it then, dummy.

Usually I mind when lemmy surfaces 2 year old posts as "hot", but this is pretty fascinating

console.log counts as “a debugger”, right?

Pretty cool. It’s great to see so many clients on the market.

One minor feature I wish every iOS client had is better password manager integration. Normally on login forms, the app can provide a hint to the OS of what domain you’re logging in to; then when you click the password box, the password manager can suggest to autocomplete that domain’s password. Currently every time I set up a new app, I have to type programming.dev twice. Once in the “which lemmy instance are you connecting to” box and once in LastPass’s search bar. It’s. A minor inconvenience, but I wonder if clients could pass along the lemmy URL to the password manager after I’ve typed it the first time.

Every time I’ve heard somebody referred to unironically as a rockstar, they’ve treated the company’s code base exactly the way a rockstar treats a hotel room

Now include links to their preferred lemmy alternatives
