"We don't know if telegram is secure or not." The point was: This is a discussion about Signal, not Telegram. But by now we have gotten pretty used to deflecting every discussion about "is Signal secure" to "lo

And none of that code can be converted to something that is even close to the published app. They might as well just release the source code for the firmware of a fridge.

We don't know if telegram is secure or not. We do know that signal is lying: - About it's code being open source - About it's protocol being open - About it's funding - About it's massive white washing campaigns in

Source: Read and understood the original whitepaper. Plus verified it in the (probably fake) source code. You can do it too. Might take a decade or two depending on your mathematical background.

The random number generator in signal is fully predictable. There is no need for a back door -- when the front door has no lock. :sigh:

Google has been ruining the internet since 1998. So no news here.

Funny how "journalists" who spend their day in a text editor, or at least should, keep saying that 8GB is not enough, while award winning AAA game developers are fully ok with 8GB. Yes, 16GB (or currently 18GB) is nice, but it onl

ML is quite ok at answering questions, but it is very bad at asking the right questions. Engineering is about asking questions. Looks like we are at least 50 years out from "AI" replacing entry level engineers. I'll let me gr

It's genius. And finally my $1/month 50.000 free worldwide texts burner phone is earning some $$$. Well $$$$$ to be exact.

My GF earns more money selling her hand made weaves than the average senior SWE at google. When did they come for the weavers?

Nope. It's nice at implementing simple stuff at a first semester CS student, after somebody over specified it, but that's it. Code monkeys might want to start looking for a new job in 10-20 years, but you asked about SWEs. And les

120 if no major break throughs happen. 150-180 otherwise. Ignoring fatal accidents. The average life span of males in my family is 98. Heavily brought down by two accidents (38 & 17). No naturals deaths below 104. I guess genetics are i

I am saying 90K+ for seniors is what I have seen, and 60K+ for juniors. "Normal" is a bit hard to define, and there will always be wide deviations, but the averages, and ranges in that doc just don't match my numbers. Written

Amazing work, but those salary numbers feel off. Background: I've been a IT hiring manager for 20+ years now, with about 600 hires (and salary negotiations) in total. About 70% gamedev related, and the other 30% classic IT. I have trac

The moment you attacked me personally instead of arguing your case I lost interest in talking with you. Have fun with your holy war, while the adults get work done.

With beeper actively attacking security critical infrastructure it's just a question of time until someone pulls out the patriot act and jails them as terrorists.

This is the post that proves that you never used agile. And nobody you worked with ever used it. Sorry to hear that you have been scammed :( "Standup is a scheduled management upgrade": Nope. The manager isn't even there duri

Quoting Cliff Berg as a source of information? Cliff Berg?!?! I could quote a ton of stuff that Cliff said at conference dinners and parties in the last years, but really -- would anybody believe the world is flat? That guy lost his marbles

Probably one of the biggest waste of tax payers money by the police. Unused cars disintegrate. Literally. The interest that that parked money could have paid for dozens, if not hundreds of more cars. They could have just bought newer, bette

There are quite a few services here that handle everything. Basically you just say "I have $X", and they say "Ok, the bank will add 3X, which will result in 0.5x revenue per year, and a 2x tax deductible". And yes, the p

I stopped doing (for money) side projects in 2015. Instead I started to buy solar farms from my yearly xmas bonus. Invest 40K (10K bonus + 30K loan) -> 6000K/year. Net -- post costs & taxes. On average the loan was paid off in 6

Cute. We currently pay 120/month for 10Gbps. Including 2 unlimited (fast!) 5G mobile contracts, Netflix, Prime, Disney+, and 60+ other channels. Oh, that is symmetrical. Welcome to Europe ;) Sadly our WiFi maxes out around 2.5Gbps.
