Kind replies

More as a way to have historical record of what I've been upto - it also makes a Year in Review easier, as I can look back and pick up on themes - but also as a way to remind myself what good/bad stuff happens, and process the week before a new one starts. It's kinda therapeutic, but also does make it quite visible when I've had a bad week / it's not been noteworthy. I unfortunately don't write as much about how I feel as it's public but I'm going to support writing privately before long which will allow me to augment the posts with more intimate info

People you're not close with / not there yet with trying to hug you - more likely pre COVID, but still a problem!

My personal blog has a mix of all things - it's largely tech related but I have personal things like my Week Notes, and even social media responses like this one ☺ I really enjoy having it as a single view of me

Ah that's a lovely log burner!

Monty Python. Logging into the Majestic Moose always gives me a chuckle

I thought you'd be able to run AWS Lambda all through EU only regions?

Have you looked into #IndieAuth (https://indieauth.net/) it's an open standard from the #IndieWeb community and allows folks to log in via their personal website - it's built on top of OAuth2 so is fairly straightforward to add support for!

Where can one get these? 👀

True, but it does exclude non-binary folks who have vaginas? So using this terminology is inclusive to all

I'm using Zoho and it works nicely - free for your first domain, too! (they've got a load of other business-y things you can use but I've not delved into it)

Congrats!

I'd also say that ads are much harder to block in a native app compared to a browser app

So what? They never said they're only gonna be available once, and you having access to the game longer than someone else doesn't mean you need to be the only person with a pretty cool skin

Just to add another voice to the mix - I've had huge success through blogging about stuff I've learned and want to document for future folks (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/) but also the #IndieWeb side of owning my data, and replying to this post from my website

This sounds like one hell of a jump for an excuse. You can come across a lot more sincere - saying "everyone knows I'm not an asshole" when you're in fact being an asshole and making personal attacks isn't a good look

Thiccen nuggets 😁

This is in £GBP - maybe I should've clarified! I'll update the post in the morning

You've got nothing to apologise for, there's no way you would've known! I have more privilege because people do just think I'm a white dude 😁

Thank you Rachel ♥ unfortunately I'm only white-ish as I'm half Indian, but no one can tell so it definitely plays in my favour!

Haha thanks. Yes public sector are public, and the range for my salary is viewable for people so I'm just making it more specific ☺ Capital One are generally quite visible with their salaries - and a senior manager mentioned they're happy me sharing it, I assume largely because the company is happy with how they fairly compensate employees

One thing Capital One at least does is make it very competitive, as a way of bringing talent out of London - even though we also have London offices - I believe the salaries are higher now too!

I 100% agree 😅 definitely seems a bit steep when you compare to jobs that actually deserve more like nurses, teachers etc

Ooh I love this!

Ooh good shout - would looking at my CV (https://hire.jvt.me) help? Or is a bit more info needed?

While on placement year at Intel I was involved in interviewing for my replacement, and someone demoed "their code" which was a sample project from the Android SDK and despite asking pointed questions, they didn't admit to it 😬

Enjoy the well deserved holiday!

Maybe they're using DuckDuckGo /s

Shame it's throwing shade at you though 😅

Not with that attitude you can't 🙃

Fair. If you find an answer I'd be interested to know - I'd probably go for "let's get it standardised" first if it were my stuff, but I'm sure there's a good reason ☺

How do you feel about pre-processing all the files and making them consistently formatted?

We've really enjoyed Gousto - I wrote about our first few months with it https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/07/four-months-gousto/ but two years on we're still really enjoying it!

I know part of it is that (from what I've been told and understand) if you the customer were to I.e. leak your data accidentally, it'd lead to the bank being reprimanded, and so one way it's managed is that only FCA registered third parties can access data. That being said, I don't really know how some third parties allow programmatic access in this case. Also having worked with Open Banking implementation, it's not as fun to use without having an intermediate API that the third party provides to you, rather than the raw OB spec 😅

Paging the wonderful Pauline Narvas

Nice, thanks! I can't seen to use the groups view on my personal namespace though 🤔

Ah yes, that looks good. Is that only available per repo? Or could I do it against a group?

Yeah some pretty fun stuff can be done with it - with CNAMEs too https://medium.com/@uzakov/how-i-found-a-vulnerability-at-capital-one-66725b67a2be

You reminded me of https://youtu.be/vNIe_UwHPU0 😂

Thanks Joe, I'm really looking forward to it!

Are you thinking webhook style to respond when ready, or having a status URL to query for the response?

Hmm, could be that I need to put my logic into something similar to GherkinDocumentBuilder but that stores the comment in the same place as the rest of the document 🙃

Oh dear, could it be you need a new / higher capacity PSU?

Ah, if only there were men cancelling headphones

Yes worktree is absolutely the solution for this - I've blogged about this in a bit more detail at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/01/29/git-worktree-multiple-branches/

Ooh interesting, yes I recommend blogging about it, that sounds interesting

I've recently been using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.va.mobilehealth.ncptsd.insomniacoach as a way to improve my sleeping pattern and would recommend it!

Thanks very much folks, appreciate it 👏🏽

Sending hugs!

Mine are all Reveal.JS based so I can host them at https://talks.jvt.me as a static site

I think it's more that if you install via the official packages in a Linux distro (as most will) then the packagers would have patched the code to nag the user out of the codebase, as distro maintain versions for a different lifecycle than Docker expects
