I added the ability to reference other response fields a few releases ago. As the developer, I'm obviously biased, but here are a few advantaged of Insomnia. (1) It's open source, (2) it's cross-platform, (3) the UI is simpler and easier to use (subjective). Since Paw is a much more mature project, it has more features (so does Postman) but, if you don't need them, Insomnia is very comparable.

Aside from the obvious huge national security implications, this hack has been a pain in the ass on a personal level (the wife and I literally have a "days since someone tried to use our identity for fraudulent purposes" counter, it rarely gets above 30 days). We are both victims of the OPM hack.
A simple checkbox list at install would be nice. Hide it under "Install Windows 10 (Advanced)" Even.
For C and C++, the cost of proving a compiler correct seems hugely out of proportion to the actual benefit gained from doing so. Most critical security bugs in C++ code are found in code that the compiler had no obligations whatsoever to compile "properly", because they are the result of undefined behavior (use after free, buffer overflows, stray writes, etc.) A perfect, proven-correct C++ compiler would do nothing to protect against any of the famous vulnerabilities you've heard of. Even the famous "null check eliminated by a GCC optimization" Linux kernel bug would be unaffected, as that was a valid optimization per the language definition.

By contrast, I think JavaScript VMs are the target of miscompilation attacks many of orders of magnitude more often than C++ compilers are. They actually have to compile untrusted and hostile code. A miscompilation can be disastrous, and in fact actual browser vulnerabilities have traced back to incorrect JS compilation. So I feel this impressive research might have a more practical impact if applied to JS (or Web Assembly!)
Eh seen this submitted before, totally agree with the early criticism here because it's the same as the last time.

Woo hoo you built a noise maker! Kazoos for everybody!
Three pieces of feedback:

1. The tutorial is really long. It would be better if it was broken up by campaigns that use what you've learned so far. I just got to the fire mage section, and am starting to lose interest.

2. This really drove home how much sound matters. Even just some background music and simple attack sound effects would go a long way to make the game more immersive.

3. The other player's turn happens so fast that I don't get a sense of what happened on it.

Yes, that is what I am saying. My respect for self-ownership and individual choice runs so deep that if someone truly wants to die (not as in voicing suicidal thoughts as a cry for help, but actually wanting to die), I'd respect that. If someone has the right to live, they should have the right to die.

As for telling them to keep it a secret (at least to the public) - that is not because I would mind. It's just an advice to protect themselves because society tends to react to this stuff in extremely retarded ways.

I dislike the whole app store process in general & can't wait until web apps are mainstream. First you have to download 5GB xcode even if you're just packaging something like a Cordova app. Then you have to login to Apple's developer center & manually upload (or you research 3rd party tools that automate this with unofficial APIs) Then you have to wait anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks for the app to be approved, then you notice a typo & start all over.

Luckily there is a way around this when using hybrid apps, by having your app hot load new JS & HTML.... Meteor does this. Ionic Deploy does this. You can also do it yourself in a few lines of code. Its great being able to just fix a typo & deploy instantly. It is allowed since its considered content updates & not code updates. However you still need app store updates sometimes, like adding a new permission for your app.

Allow me to take the easy answers off the table and ask you to remove the scandals ongoing and ask: what would it take for Uber to go under enough for those conditions to take place as you put them?

I ask as a person who lives in a town that watched both Uber and Lyft leave in protest of local regulations, watched those same companies lobby my legislature for laws that effectively neutered municipal code, watched Uber and a Lyft return operations, and is watching competitors that sprung up in the vacuum quickly die.

With Truckload of chagrin.

It's a very strange but fascinating thing to watch at the local level so I'm always curious to hear how others look at the behemoth.

If you think sexism is unfair, don't call it unfair unless you have a solution.

If you think racism is unfair, don't call it unfair unless you have a solution.

Suck it up women, people of color. If you stop complaining, and just work harder, eventually you'll make it. It might take generations, so just maintain a multi-generational view! I mean, many women say that to get the same recognition, they had to work twice as hard as men. So there you go: Shut up and work twice as hard!

If you think Capitalism is unfair, don't call it unfair unless you have devised the next generation economic system to replace it. The only person who had a right to call feudalism unfair was Adam Smith. Everyone else, especially those damn always complaining peasants, offered nothing.

"Here's the problem. Windows is for everyone"

No it isn't. It's just another OS. My wife (who no-one would ever describe as a nerd) uses Arch Linux on her laptop. She doesn't really know that and does not care - it simply works. My support burden dramatically reduced when I removed the pre-installed OS.

At the risk of sounding like a complete wanker: I will almost certainly know more about Windows than you will ever want to know (but I have never had source code access). I used to be able to get around 620Kb free RAM available on DOS 6 (nee Quick and Dirty OS) without resorting to QEMM and have dealt with all the weird shit that your employers have chucked out since then.

At some time in the early nineties I discovered there was choice. Your employer was no longer the only game in town. Ok there was Acorn and Apple and stuff.

Nowadays, I see your employer as a bit of an inconsequential (with history) hindrance to progress - soz

Chile was a democracy and US helped overthrow the democracy and install a dictatorship. The citizens managed to resist and recover their democracy after 20 years at a great cost to the country's poor and privatization of Chiles public mineral wealth. Also known as Chiles 9/11.

Also, are you seriously suggesting that no former communist country is a democracy now? How is this completely random false statement relevant to this discussion?

I think the confusion is semantics. Most people think of a startup as a growth business. A startup is different from a small business. Whereas a small business may aim for $10M in revenue per year in 5 years (and maintain that), a startup may aim for $1B in revenue per year in 5 years.

So, if you're the CTO in your second year of business and still writing most of the code, you're probably a small business.

That said, in my experience, if you're a CTO and not able to at least understand the source code, you're a liability. I've worked for CTOs like that, and they were unable to manage risk or estimate beyond random guesses. And, it's unlikely that such a person can forecast or expand business safely without at least some trusted advisors.
English Conductor Sir. John Eliot Gardiner, who grew up singing and learning Bach cantatas as a child, he has published a lovely book "Bach: Music in the Castle of heaven". I think these lines from the very opening of his book will also enlighten us --

"Bach the musician is an unfathomable genius; Bach the man is all too obviously flawed, disappointingly ordinary and in many ways still invisible to us. In fact we seem to know less about his private life than about that of any other major composer of the last 400 years. Unlike, say, Monteverdi, Bach left behind no intimate family correspondence, and very little beyond the anecdotal has come down to us that can help in painting a more human portrait or to allow a glimpse of him – as son, lover, husband or father. Perhaps there was a fundamental reluctance in him to pull back the curtain and reveal himself; unlike most of his contemporaries, he turned down the opportunity to submit a written account of his life and career when the opportunity arose. The limited, heavily edited version that we have inherited is one he himself spun and handed down to his children. It is not surprising some have concluded that Bach the man is something of a bore."

Yeah, I tried to shrink the tutorial as much as I could to just be the core gameplay elements. Nothing fancy. When I was first showing the game to people they would have a really hard time knowing what to do in a real game so I figured this was better than being totally confused when they do play :(

Sound definitely matters in the gaming experience, a part of me is torn because I hate websites that make noise when I didn't ask them to, but I suppose this is a game so people can expect it, and maybe I can have it off by default?

With the way the game is set-up currently, you only get the end result of a user's turn. One day I do hope to have a turn history or previous-turn display though.

Looking at that Wikipedia page, the composting toilet sounds rather more complicated and expensive. Also potentially it does not destroy pathogens completely. The approach of the "Loowatt" keeps the residential installations simple, sanitary, and inexpensive, and locally centralizes the composting in a process that uses high heat to completely eliminate pathogens.

Generally campaign hard against nuclear and hydro. There hasn't been any new hydro in Australia since The Wilderness Society blocked the Franklin Dam project[1].

I'll admit that no new hydro is arguably a good thing for certain aspects of sustainability, but it could be argued that new hydro is better than new coal or gas. That's sort of a false dichotomy because there are other options:

An in-principle agreement has been reached to build a new 144MW wind farm in central Tasmania[2], the first new wind project in the state in almost a decade[3].

The Franklin Dam project was to be 180MW, with arguable much greater capacity factor than wind.

At the end of the day, there are no rules and YMMV. As a curiosity, I wonder how much time John Carmack spent coding as CTO of Oculus. Chances are there are very few people in the market with his coding talent, and if someone like him wants to code, you're going to make it work.

They should not try to emulate SQL databases, there are other ways to manage inventory without transactions.

One way is to add a field to an item that show its status: whether it is in a warehouse, in someone's cart, ordered or sold. Then adding an item to a cart means updating those fields. There probably is a way to do several similar updates atomically.

Another way is to use append-only collection, that keeps a list of events, like "Item X added to cart Y", "Item X sent to delivery".

But I guess when there are more entities and relations this would become too complex to manage. While SQL databases have no problems with hundreds of tables and thousands of columns.
