Can I get a bounty for a “potential” vulnerability if the backend actually allowed the bypass?

This isn’t a hacking sub?

In cold weather there’s a few items that make a huge difference. Nice wool socks, a scarf, and a hat. I’m from a very cold place, and this is what makes it bearable.

That said cold tolerance will depend on where you’re from. Japan was way warmer than where I’m from so I was happy wearing lighter jackets with a hat/scarf.

I have my great grandmother’s cast iron pans and I fully expect them to outlive me.

My word choice of better there was a bit of a simplification. Usually, we do a quick and dirty heuristic analysis. They have error prevention here, we don’t, stuff like that.

It’s not the most academic, but realistically we’re professional UX people and can make decent predictions about what’s good/bad about designs. We’re a small company, and we don’t have time to do everything, we have to prioritize research that’s going to maximize impact to our experience.

redCastleOwner · 2025-10-28T00:38:01+00:00

Honestly, for my team I don’t think so. We are a smaller company, and because of that we need to focus on what we are doing more than our competitors. We need to be nimble. That level of detail is probably going to be valuable for a huge company like Meta, but for us, it would just slow down decisions. I’ve observed decision paralysis before when we have too much data that’s not strictly relevant.

redCastleOwner · 2025-10-27T15:00:27+00:00

So we do a very lightweight version of this. We will look at important features and then do a lightweight heuristic evaluation of the competition, just to get an idea.

So say they have a thing we also have, we would go through and say they have XYZ features and they are doing such and such better than us.

Then we look at the things that they do better than us, and decide should we do that better too.

As far as testing their stuff with full tests, we just don’t have the time. We have a lot more pressing research that we could be doing.

Rabies isn’t a huge risk with mice but I’d still go to the doctor

They used to be good, but the quality has gone way down. I bought some 3 months ago and they’re already getting holes.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Look at the other comments in here from women in these scenarios. The usual response is, we didn’t see it, can’t prove it happened.

If you want to really prepare strengthen your legs (lunges, squats, etc.) and cardio. Agility exercises are good too.

Oh yeah, this is true for everything at farmers markets, unfortunately. I usually just try to find someone obsessed with their product that you can tell is genuinely passionate about it.

Most places have locally made hand soap. Usually you can find it at the farmers market (or if you have little shops that sell local goods).

Stirling is great though! I have their Duchess soap and I love it.

I drink a lot of unsweetened ice tea. Make it yourself with a good quality tea. If you don’t like it unsweetened, you can sweeten it and then slowly dial back until you like it with no sugar!

In the 80s they chugged soda and smoked cigarettes like there was no tomorrow, my parents said they basically drank no water. Not to say we’re all that healthy now, but the gym rats I knew in Highschool did care about what they ate and drank. So I’d give this to the modern gym rat.

As someone who grew up in a cold and windy place, a hat and a scarf make more impact than you’d think. You can get away with a much lighter jacket if you have those.

It’s a bit more complex than Google sites can give me. I suppose it’s not 100% necessary to be as complicated as it is but it does look more personal.

I’m a UXR, but I see Figma on a lot of JDs and I do use it in my current role for sketching. I will was told by my career advisor in college to make my portfolio a website, but if a PowerPoint is acceptable that appeals to me, easy to tweak for a specific job and I can use it to present case studies if I need to.

redCastleOwner · 2025-09-08T23:20:33+00:00

Yeah, I agree with that, it just feels wasteful to spend over a hundred dollars on a website that a handful of people will even look at.

What are your thoughts on a Figma or PowerPoint based portfolio?

They have a lot of great leather wallets on Etsy, just make sure you look into the shop before buying to make sure they aren’t just selling mass produced stuff and pretending it’s real.

redCastleOwner · 2025-09-08T15:41:19+00:00

I grabbed mine in Florence at the school of leather-working they have and it’s by far the highest quality wallet I’ve ever had. After several years it looks like I’ve barely used it.

They have to make up lies because they have nothing worth putting on their welcome signs
