A lot of banks in the UK have mobile-app-exclusive features / services. I imagine this is because of security, but it also makes little sense. If you don't have a smartphone it is about 5x harder to do anything online-banking related here. I remember when I went camping a bit ago my phone died and I was unable to unfreeze my card.

Also, cool username =)

> I remember when I went camping a bit ago my phone died and I was unable to unfreeze my card.

Not even over the phone? I'd be furious. Cell phones die, get lost, get stolen, get run over, etc. I'd personally hate to feel so entirely dependent on my phone being there 100% of the time. I don't even always carry mine with me.

Does this I can finally add it to my NixOS config without having to use `permittedInsecurePackages`?

You'd need to keep the python 3.3 plugin host disabled, but otherwise yes. OpenSSL 1.1 will be removed along with 3.3 in the next development cycle.

I think it's a little dishonest to say they don't care. They made proton, they put out patches for their games on Linux fairly frequently.. in comparison to 80% of companies they go above and beyond.

I think this is just a symptom of Valve neglecting their (old and new) games as a whole.

Is this a common problem? I've never had it :P

So industry experience is more valued than a proper degree in CS?

Thank you!

I am thinking if I get a London role I will take it 100%. If I get Manchester I will have to weigh up the two some more.

Can I ask - did you use to live in London? Is it feasible for two 18yos to rent together in a not shit place for like £2000 a month? I'm not really familiar with the city

I’m from the US so I can’t advise on costs in London. But I did pull down a two pounds a night in East Acton at a place called Tent City in the late 80’s. I do not recommend it.

I think managing debt load is important. After you get skills, you can go the contracting route and double your salary. Those things are easier to do when you are younger, can take risks, and are not constrained w debt.

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it =)

Yeah I was unsure if I should stick around or not.

I know someone who is a contractor and it seems having a broader range of companies on your CV looks better. At least from my perspective. He previously worked at a company for 15 years and got an ok salary - after about a year contracting he doubled it.

Job with worse degree (potentially) vs Degree which might get me a (better) job in the future.

Honestly, I'm unsure. I figure if people say experience is more valued in SWE / cybersec / devops then I will go for the former. If education is valued more I will go for uni. Looking for experienced people's thoughts
