I dunno, plenty of those sound pretty reasonable.

I'm a senior software engineer with a pretty uncommon skill set. Recruiters are the primary way that companies hire in my industry outside of networking contacts and I get contacted frequently. The job before my current one was through a recruiter.

I very much dislike Microsoft and LinkedIn in general, but not using it all is a huge handicap that isn't worth taking on.

It's how recruiters find me, so unfortunately I can't. I almost never open it, though.

Obviously there's a small handful of things that would require a reboot, but unlike Windows, the vast majority of programs in user space don't require reboots on update.

There's also the fact that restarting Windows to update is a much slower and more disruptive experience than restarting Linux.

Yeah, this person posts a lot and is weirdly consistent in how much they fuck up post titles.

It really has nothing to do with whether or not they can have sex. That's just a pretense for really fucked up ideas about sex, relationships, and women as a whole.

The manufacturer obviously also makes the app and can control the encoding.

You don't have to take arbitrary bytes. UTF-8 encoded strings are just fine and easily handled by libraries.

At minimum you need to limit the request size to avoid DOS attacks and such. But obviously that would be a much larger limit than anyone would use for a password.

At least it's been brought back from extinction thanks to conservation efforts.

All it means is if you were to reverse the order of the characters, you'd get the same string you started with. So "dog" isn't a palindrome because when you reverse it, you get "god". "dog god" is a palindrome, though, because if you read it backwards, it's also "dog god".

It's not complicated at all: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome. Not really something that's education-specific, in this instance (though I suppose it's commonly used in entry-level programming classes since it's a simple concept).
