• Of recursion and backtracking

  Recently, I was working on a coding kata on codewars.com. Early on, I started thinking that a potential solution might utilize recursion, a concept that involves a function calling itself. However, I quickly realized that my grasp of recursion was not as solid as it needed to be for this task. In this post, I will share the insights gained from deepening my understanding of recursion while working through the kata. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• 4th year, about to fail an entire semester's worth of classes.

  Get more involved. Look into internships and junior SWE positions to get a sample of what you'd be applying for once you graduate. Solve coding challenges, start working on a portfolio of your personal works. I recommend codewars.com for coding challenges, it's fun. Source: over 2 years ago

• Beginner with C++ looking for direction

  I'd recommend to play around with some basic coding challenges on leetcode.com or codewars.com. If the course prepared you well you won't find this useful, but playing around with them will make sure that you are comfortable with basics such as loops, if statements etc. Source: about 3 years ago

• Can you guys recommend an efficient way to learn in advance IT para sa mga walang alam?

• Cloudflare flags archive.today as "C&C/Botnet"; no longer resolves via 1.1.1.2

• Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds

  While on the subject, does anybody know any good ad-blocking solutions for mobile phones? So far I have experimented with NetShield from ProtonVPN and https://nextdns.io/ with varying results. There are also features baked into certain browsers like the cookie blocker with DuckDuckGo which works extremely well, and UnTrap for Safari on iOS which allows for heavy Youtube web customisation. Also, shout out to... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Europe is scaling back its landmark privacy and AI laws

  I work right at the junction of marketing tech -- eCommerce, marketing sites, account management systems. Theoretically I should be living in compliance hell, but here's the dirty secret: To "follow" every rule, all you really need is another layer of UX friction. Another modal. Another "consent wizard."

• Show HN: NextDNS Adds "Bypass Age Verification"

  We just shipped a new feature in NextDNS: Bypass Age Verification. More and more sites (especially adult ones) are now forcing users to upload IDs or selfies to continue. We think that’s a terrible idea: handing over government documents to random sites is a huge privacy risk. This new setting workarounds those verification flows via DNS tricks. It’s available today to all users, including free accounts. We’re... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Tell HN: uBlock Origin on Chrome is finally gone

  NextDNS [0] has proven very useful for me on iOS. Firefox is 99% ad-free. Only for YouTube do I switch to Brave Browser. My home router (Draytek) is also configured to force any connected devices to use NextDNS too. Definitely worth the €20 annual subscription.
