As someone with a light phone 2 who hates cellphones, I love this company. The light phone is a breath of fresh air.
For 90% of people it seems like it would be unusable so I’m glad they are still going hard to expand their market.
My biggest gripe is that companies in the USA like Verizon have really fucked me swapping to the phone. I recommend you FIRST get a SIM card and then and only then attempt to swap phones.
Not that there’s anything wrong this this, but I tend to see them focused around 3D printer stuff and rarely much software. I’d love to see more software hangouts
Yeah it's legit. Never bothered to create a HN account but caught wind of this post and had to come drop some good words about the team. I use it (for free) and have no skin in the game. Just want to let folks know of a free tier that is literally 10x better than the next best thing!
Not if 1000 lines are written by you alone and not checked by anyone else vs 5 million lines of code written by thousands of people and checked by countless more. Linux is probably more secure than 1000 lines of C code from a junior developer.
For a blog? If you don't put anything important on the server itself I can't imagine a hacker could do much. Maybe put a nasty image on your front page, or put their Bitcoin address pretending it's the place to send donations, but it would take a lot of time and effort to remain hidden for hardly any gain.
Unless your server has very unusual features, or there are VERY serious kernel vulnerabilities, all an attacker can do is read files accessible to the server's user or run code as the server's user.
And possibly serve attacker-controller content to other users.
It's a hardware description language. We used VHDL (not Verilog, but equivalent) for some custom processing in a radio, sped things up versus running in software or with a DSP (at the time, DSPs today may be able to replace good chunks of what was in VHDL running on an FPGA in that project).
The trick is balance and if you don’t practice it, you won’t achieve it.
I tried to make my work the same as play and it burnt me out. I’ve tried to recover with play and lost interest in work.
The trick is to build a routine where the expectation is that you work whatever is required, but not overwork (time and energy are finite), but you prioritize play just as importantly. Play (exercise, social, travel and experiencing life) fuel work. It’s a circular dependency that is key to a happy life. How much of each you do, for how long and what exactly falls into each bucket is what each person on this planet needs to figure out for themselves.
I’ve read the books and tried the apps, but at the end of the day none of that stuff really unlocks anything. For me, baseline is to eat healthy and sleep a lot. From there, things unlock
