On a journey to discover the real Jesus of the Bible, not the twisted evangellical prop.

Turns out living paycheck to paycheck is better than working in corpo tech.

I'm loving the home school stay-at-home parent life

Luxuries be damned, I'll never regret trading my windowless office for being with my kids everyday.

    I do like being able to easily bundle properties and functions together. I think objects are useful if kept in their simplest form.

    Though I think some would argue that not using inheritance and interfaces and such precludes it from really counting as OOP

  • @tiramichuIt's this mentality that shows you aren't mediocre. Simplicity requires more skill, not less.@mesamunefire

    I totally agree on this. I found that often things that appeared to need inheritance at first glance often didn't if I gave deeper thought to it.

    Granted I was working on much smaller projects rather than crazy huge multi team enterprise apps, but I'd guess that even then this is a good "rule of thumb".

    Historically I'd say Emacs plugin system predates atom and sublime, and was certainly as impressive in its flexibility.

  • @Dozzi92it's also important to remember that different kids have different needs. Some kids can handle it fine, others may be more at risk due to past trauma or developmental delays.

    I do agree it's all about teaching them safety and guiding them rather than forever sheltering them.

    What's most dangerous is completely leaving them to fend for themselves.@rumba

    I have spoken to multiple parents about how dangerous this "game" is.

    I tell them that I'd let my kids walk across times square in NYC alone before I'd let them play Roblox.

    Honestly times square is pretty safe these days, but it seems to be an effective analogy to other parents emphasizing the kind of danger that roblox presents.

    Don't worry it's completely different now. Martha retired so now Mary Ellen sends the emails.

  • @WizardPope oh yeah they do that for everyone. It's a safety feature called puny code.

    people were using weird chars to impersonate well known domains for phishing, so if you register a domain using unusual or mixed language characters it renders it as puny code to prevent spoofing.

    Then how do I know what I am not allowed to access?

    In this specific case there was no (formal) indication that the data was out of bounds.

    I can't put 10 pdf files in a web dir and claim 5 are public and 5 are private, then charge you with a crime for viewing them.

    You can't have "unauthorized access" when there's no authorization at all

  • @iii

    Yeah the internet by design is a public space, and we must be responsible and treat it as such when handling sensative data.

    Again, it was very wrong for people to take that data and especially to post like that.

    The company also has to do their part and produce at least some kind of barrier to the data.

    Even using UUIDs and making sure the data wasn't query-able would have been something.

  • @SpaceCowboy @JackbyDev

    In a legal context there's also the concept of a "reasonable expectation of privacy". The computer abuse and fraud act defines hacking as accessing data or systems you are not authorized to access.

    A better analogy is putting your journal in a public library and getting mad when somone reads it.

    I'm not saying what these ass holes did was right, I'm saying that the company weakened their legal position by not protecting the data.

    Security isn't binary, it's a spectrum. You apply the level of security that is appropriate for each situation.

    Of course it's possible to brute force it, but by the same logic you could brute force jwt tokens, or api keys, or even ssl certs.

    It's literally impossible to apply "max security" to everything, so you have to prioritize.

    What happened was unconscionable, but insisting uuid are mathematically breakable isn't helpful, and can make it worse.

    sounds like firebase itself is a hack.

    I'm honestly embarrassed by my fellow devs more often than not these days.

    What the fuck happened to craftsmanship? Or taking pride in your work?

    oh right, techbro startup culture garbage ended it.

    Right?

    pretty sure there are more possible chess positions than atoms in the earth (universe?), so even if every atom of our planet were converted to transistors there'd be no way to fully represent all possibilities.
