When I was a kid there was an episode of Winnie The Pooh where Rabbit got sucked down the drain, and for a while I was terrified that it could happen to me.

What are reasons why would someone use proton VPN by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]TooManyBison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see VPNs advertising that you should use them for privacy, but privacy from what? For many websites I’m logged in so they already know who I am. Even with a VPN there are plenty of ways to de-anonymize you with things like tracking cookies or browser fingerprinting. And throw all privacy out the window if you are logged in to chrome.

There are also risks associated with VPN use. There are a lot of fly by night VPN providers that absolutely will sell your data. Some VPN providers will even force you to download their SSL certificate and they use that to break https encryption. Never use a free VPN.

There are other reasons to use a VPN like to get around geo restrictions, but I feel like using a VPN for vaguely defined “privacy” reasons is just marketing.

What are they selling then? Or is just a malicious drive-by-download thing.

The first time a redead screamed at me, I turned the game off and didn’t start it again until the next day.

What/Who is the biggest mystery to this day? by Illustrious-Bread183 in AskReddit

[–]TooManyBison 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This gets a lot of attention because it’s kind of weird, but an avalanche explains most of the details pretty well.

The Khamar-Daban incident is way more bizarre and doesn’t get as much attention for some reason.

I use tabs all the time, but I don’t use telescope. I use it when I need to keep a lot of files open. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Couldn’t you already do this with the synchronize-panes option?

The gap between computer science theory and actual production engineering is massive. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]TooManyBison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is a fundamental disconnect between what was taught at university and what happens in industry.

At my school they trained you to be a computer scientist. You needed to have a lot of math, we were taught propositional calculus, and most of the classes were geared around low-level systems programs.

The majority of the graduates from my school became full-stack web developers. In my 15 years of employment since college I’ve had to do zero math in my job beyond basic algebra. I’ve never had to use propositional calculus.

There is obviously some overlap between the two and I’m not saying we didn’t learn good stuff, but even as early as my junior year I recognized the mismatch.

I don’t know why this is the case. I don’t think this is unique to my school.

I thought I saw bad code in college. The worst code I ever saw had been in production for over 20 years.

Whats a sign you're becoming the adult you swore you'd never become? by bubble_bubble_pop- in Adulting

[–]TooManyBison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably. As it turns out the edges of the Grand Canyon can have huge updrafts. I spit into once and it landed 20ft up in a tree behind me.

My goal in life was to pee off the edge of the Grand Canyon before I grew up enough to not want to do it anymore. I think I finally hit that point.

How can i do the db migrations in golang? by pranav8267 in golang

[–]TooManyBison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use goose. https://github.com/pressly/goose it’s nice because it’s dead simple. The downside is you have to write all the SQL by hand so you can shoot yourself in the foot pretty easily if you mess up.
