[07:10] schestowitzWhen writing a document using LaTeX, if you are prone to procrastination it can be very difficult to focus on the task at hand, because there are so many yaks to shave. Here's a few points of advice.

[07:12] schestowitz[07:12] schestowitzGetting started with a new device management platform is a drag. You have to get familiar with the terminology and the environment. You have to create new devices, dashboards, widgets, and read a lot of documentation and thats usually very time consuming, even if the platform is very easy to use.
[07:12] schestowitzFurthermore, it is even more tedious if the platform is targeted to manage physical devices. You need to have some devices close at hand, you need to learn how to code your hello world or getting started examples and subsequent programming. Even if the platform is very intuitive, this is something that usually pulls users back.
[07:12] schestowitzAt the end of the day, what users want to have is a straightforward way to evaluate what they can achieve with the platform, the performance, the look and feel and the global interaction experience.

[07:22] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-blog.josefsson.org | On language bindings & Relaunching Guile-GnuTLS Simon Josefsson's blog [07:23] schestowitz[07:23] schestowitzThere are many ways to separate a project into two projects; just copying the files into a new git repository would have been the simplest and was my original plan. However Ludo mentioned git-filter-branch in an email, and the idea of keeping all git history for some of the relevant files seemed worth pursuing to me. I quickly found git-filter-repo which appears to be the recommend approach, and [07:23] schestowitz experimenting with it I found a way to filter out the GnuTLS repo into a small git repository that Guile-GnuTLS could be based on. The commands I used were the following, if you want to reproduce things.

[07:25] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-iTWire - LinkedIn kicks out Infosec expert, then restores his profile [07:25] schestowitz[07:25] schestowitzOne of Beaumont's jibes at Cloudflare was to list himself in his LinkedIn profile as the unaccountability manager for the company. He then got a message from LinkedIn citing this entry and saying that it had received a claim his profile contained inaccurate content.
[07:25] schestowitzThis led him to surmise that he was later cut off from LinkedIn due to a complaint from Cloudflare.
[07:25] schestowitzLinkedIn temporarily suspended Beaumont's membership and asked him to verify his identity. Of this, he said; "The recovery process is mad, it asks you to take a photo of the front of your passport, which I did.. and thats it. You would have thought they wanted the ID page itself."
