MacOS file sort by name?

Shripathy 🚀 — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 10:58:06 +0000

What type of sort order does MacOS finder use? When it's sorted by name, it sorts numbers first and then moves to alphabets. Also symbols have higher priority than numbers. Is there any algorithm that follows it?

How do I convince people about the importance of Privacy?

With all these controversies around Facebook reading people messages and Google with all the tracking they do, how can I convince people that their privacy matters? My friends think that it's okay for these companies to use people data because we use their services.

I deleted Facebook, I don't use Instagram often, I delete myactivity from google but I end up looking like a weirdo. Why do people value privacy so low?

Dear dev.to, I made it.

On November 23rd, 2017, I wrote here seeking advice from the community about an important career decision. You can read that below...

I am quitting my Job as a Project Co-ordinator to pursue my passion as a developer. Am I doing the right thing?

Everyone was supportive of the decision that I was about to take and reassured me that I was doing the right thing. Thanks to all of you, I quit my job a week after that on November 30th, 2017.

The following month, I didn't do anything about my career and decided to have some "ME TIME". From January 1st, 2018, I started looking for jobs and also started working on my coding skills which I had lost touch because of my previous job. I wouldn't say I improved a lot over the past three months but I definitely learned few important skills for the job.

After a lot of rejection emails(my lack of experience was the main reason), failed interviews and sleepless nights, there was one person who saw the passion in me (I am not going to mention his personal details here as I need to ask his permission before writing about him). He is not an HR person but the CTO startup called Paperflite and he asked my mobile number after seeing my resume on AngelList. Of course, I gave him my number and he called me up and we had a solid 30 minutes conversation about my previous jobs and about his startup. After that session, he sent me a task which I successfully completed and then I was called up for an in-person interview(it was just a face to face discussion about my previous jobs and the task that he had given me). The interview ended on a positive note for me as I was selected for the job.

So yeah... Here I am... 4 months after writing the above article... working as a developer for a startup called Paperflite. I would like to thank every single soul who encouraged me to take that decision, CTO who believed in me, the founder & co-founder of Paperflite who also believed in me and were supportive of my CTO's decision.

Dear dev.to, I made it <3

P.S. Pardon if the story was boring and not well written. I expressed it as much as I can 😬

Hi, I have been Project Co-ordinator development team for the past 10 months and I have been mostly co-ordinating with the clients rather than actually managing my team (because my company is like that). I've always wanted to be a Software developer and I think this is the right time for me to quit my job and develop my skills on programming.

P.S. I graduated(CSE) in 2016 and this is my first job. I think it not too late to make career switch.

Hi, I'm Shripathy
