JSON5 is seriously what I feel JSON should've been. Comments, trailing commas, hex numbers, etc.

Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here's everyone that upvoted this thread.

Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.

Huh. Turns out I had to clear cookies and site data, and now old is working again.

I've not logged in for a couple of weeks. Is old. deprecated now? Or is the fact that it won't load any comments part of the corruption issue?

Honestly interested what makes something not an IDE but can be one? The fact that it requires plugins to turn it into an IDE?

Does that mean Eclipse is not an IDE either, since it requires either JDT or CDT to be anywhere near useful?

Desktop FF here, been getting kicked off roughly once a day on default.

Not happening on Mlmym (old.), which I found to be better anyway. Wish I'd know about it before. Please keep it maintained!

break and continue are just goto in disguise ... use return instead of break

An if statement is goto in disguise. So is a return.

Some would argue having 10x 4-line functions are worse for readability and debugging than a single 40-liner, because to actually understand the code you have to jump around all over the page (another disguised goto - for your eyes!)

I can certainly symphatise. I've been pushed to temporarily take management roles, either client-facing or reporting directly to a C-level. Been encouraged by the team to take on the roles permanently.

What they don't see is how mentally exhausting it is to actually shield the team from the BS on the other side, when you genuinely care about the people in your team. Yeah, I could use the money, but I don't trust myself to not act on the homicidal thoughts that pop up once in a while during those times..

based on curiosity, which was short lived, because Linux (Mandrake) at the time was too challenging.

Story of my life back in high school. Except it was Slackware, from the back of a magazine.

Wasn't until I took Operating System Design in university that the whole linux/unix philosophy clicked.

some general computer science knowledge would be helpful

I honestly couldn't think of any compsci knowledge that would not be useful in cybersec. Dealing with exploits would require some pretty in-depth knowledge of how computers, OS, and applications interact with each other. Network intrusion would involve some in-depth networking concepts. Encryption has some very heavy math.

But yeah, I agree, it's such a wide field that there's as much stuff outside of compsci that would be extremely useful.

Or, someone donated 2.5-12, Apple matched it and filed the whole thing under their corporate account.
