  • I remember navigating for my dad as a kid using a physical street map. It was a great feeling tracking your position on the map and telling the driver what turn to make next.

    But nothing beats the convenience of having a small rectangle that automatically calculates routes for you, especially when travelling alone.











  • That’s a bad take. Unless you get your knowledge purely from shady tutorials or have a fast track bootcamp education, it’s unlikely you never touch on security basics.

    I’m a software design undergrad and had to take IT Sec classes. Other profs also touched on how to safely handle dependencies and such.

    While IT Security is its own specialisation, blindly trusting source code others provide you with is something a good programmer shouldn’t do.

    If you need a metaphor: Just because a woodworker specialises in tables, doesn’t mean they can’t build a chair.

    Edit: Seems like my take is the bad one 😂

    I certainly think so. Social media and all those publicity-hungry news publishers have contributed to fostering an image of men and women that is unrealistic and without nuance. Not just regarding aggressiveness of men or chronically dtf women.

    This might be a weird take, but Ted Bundy was only so successful because his victims inherently trusted him. In today’s world I believe he would have a lot more trouble to find a woman that assumes he has good intentions.
