Companies have no incentive to bring you on full time, either. They can lie and tell you that you will at the end of the term, but it'll either be met with "we do not need this position anymore" or continual contract extensions because the market is suddenly unfavorable, there's no headcount, or some other excuse.


Not always: https://meltingasphalt.com/neurons-gone-wild/ though that’s going a bit off-topic.

And, I believe that the distinction with what was mentioned is akin to, say, an actor on stage embracing or embodying the role of a character they are about to perform.


That's a good link I've bookmarked for later. Looks interesting.

The person I was replying to stated:

>I know a significant percentage of furries where their fursona is considered a real second personality.

That's what I was referring to, not furries as a whole but the people they know.


I thought Better Call Saul was an AMC show?


Reminds me so much of The Best Page in the Universe.


There's a few articles that go into a loosely defined faulting area dubbed the Walker Lane[1][2][3] in which it's theorized that the East Pacific Rise (a rift), under the Gulf of California, may be expanding directly north. I know some geologists were surprised at first at the 7.4 Landers earthquake in 1994, and the article goes into that the Walker Lane seems to follow US 395, so I wonder if this is just a continuing extension of geologic activity associated with it.

That was fascinating. Thanks for those links.


Apparently tweeting the 996.icu website from the official Twitter Android/iOS clients causes it to refuse to send at all. You don't even need to be in China to see the result, because it blacklists the link globally. It allows the link on web and 3rd party clients, though.[1]

Have just tested. I get "Failed to send tweet" if sending from Android client, and I leave in the page preview when composing the tweet.

- It works fine from web interface, problem is specific to Android - The problem doesn't show up for "123.icu" so it seems specific to 996.icu


What's your phone maker?


Nokia (recent, it's really a Chinese company). Also I'm in Vietnam.


Why would Twitter censor something like that?

Edit: if this is a glitch from trying to combat bots Tweeting the URL, that just means you can trigger automatic censorship of any URL with a bot farm.


Just tested myself and the official client refuses to send. Third-party clients are unaffected, good thing I still use one really.


Not to defend twitter, but could this be an anti-spam measure?


This is very unlikely because it seems to be something that happens in the official client rather than server-side. Spammers are unlikely to use official clients and blocking them there doesn't make any sense.

Having said that, if they were intentionally trying to block this then using their anti-spam mechanisms would be an obvious way of doing so, so I think it's definitely a possibility that this is some accidental side-effect of something else rather than a simple intentional block.


An anti spam feature should not links typed by real humans on purpose. Lots of popular links are shared on twitter and don't get blocked via anti spam. This seems like something deliberate, even if the global part of the impact is a deployment error.

I have been in both red team and blue team security positions, and I'm comfortable being in a lot of tech stacks in reading code and adapting to whatever the company focuses on. I've also written a quick intercepting proxy with TLS support (in Node.js... that was interesting to work on) to capture WebSocket traffic as a part of pentesting, which I presented a couple of years ago at Black Hat Arsenal 2017. I've mentored employees in a blue team role on application security best practices. I'm open to security engineering or security consulting positions, minus software engineering or adjacent roles thereof. I am looking primarily for remote work due to an injury.


On a tangent: one of the things that's been really difficult is trying to find a writing app that is sync-friendly with a co-writer, as me and a couple of close friends work together on scripts for a comic.

That is to say, I want to do a file sync with Dropbox or any other service/application, and the co-writer or co-writer(s)/artist(s) can also either get it, or be notified there's a new version, and not suffer any accidental overwrites or loss of data.

(Scrivener is an option, and it's apparently Git friendly for that purpose, so we have that going for now. Google Docs and Etherpad Lite are not acceptable/usable replacements either.)


A few friends and I have noticed that applications that are using React Native, even in the best of situations in optimizing, it still drains battery life faster (sometimes far faster) than something written in Java/Kotlin or ObjC/Swift.


Do you have any examples of that, and how do you determine which apps are built with RN?

I've noticed a similar thing, but have nothing to go on but my gut instinct. For instance, I'm pretty sure that the food ordering app Ritual is using RN, it just doesn't feel quite native.


I'm a little late to reply. I use Discord and Slack a lot which uses RN but I've noticed that there are frame stutters when scrolling or when viewing gifs, and other chat applications like Telegram (native) do not have this problem. The stuttering is how I notice if they're using RN or not here.
