If you're concerned about privacy I don't know why you'd use Tailscale over Wireguard directly. The latter is slightly more fiddly to configure, but you only do it once and there's no cloud middleman involved, just your devices talking directly to each other.

Clearly we're going to need regulations around personal vehicle size limits on the road. If you legitimately need a big truck for your business, get a licence for it.

The one thing that could cause serious porting pain would be the need to support high/variable frame rates. That could require a whole bunch of code to be refactored.

WhatsApp has been exploited before with a zero-day, check the Complaints section in this link:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)

The reality is WhatsApp and Signal will continue to be high-value targets for exploits given the number of users, cloud infrastructure reliance and promise of secure communications, so it's a wise idea to avoid them for defence matters.

If they only released RDR on PS3, this explanation might make sense as the engine would be heavily optimised for PS3. But they also released on Xbox 360, which is the closest console platform to Windows in terms of architecture. It wouldn't have been that expensive to port.

I'd recommend setting up a GitHub profile and developing some personal projects on there, and try to get some experience contributing to other projects (even if they're just simple first PRs). Make sure you include this on your resume, it's a great talking point for juniors to show you're passionate and have concrete examples of your code in the wild.

Also set up a LinkedIn profile (fleshed out as best you can) and start adding people at companies you're interested in. DM them asking for advice, most people are lovely and want to help. While LinkedIn is horrible and needs to die, it's still used heavily by the tech industry and you'll find every tech company and recruiters on there.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! That's exactly what I've done and recently just hit my first half century ride, but oh boy did I feel it! What a great feeling to be getting fitter though, I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner. Bikes are awesome.

Nice, I hope YouTube is next.

Good god, averaging over 450km/day for 30 days straight! I'd be chuffed if I averaged a tenth of that per day for a month straight.

It's just so insane to me that the community is having to make singleplayer Fallout games now because Bethesda aren't interested.

... or worked in a large team with juniors and members coming and going over a long period of time.
