Their gateway supports ipns but the DHT is so slow that for most people it’s just going to time out. If you try accessing ipns content you just published via ipfs.io it will take ~5 minutes to resolve which is a pretty long time. I think at that point you don’t really care about using something like cloudflare, for the cases where it’s faster it just works the way it is now.
I was just at a beekeeping association meeting on Monday night and listened to a very experienced beekeeper talk about his wintering practice. He boils 1 quart of water, adds 10 pounds of sugar, and then lets it cool off a bit. From there he pours the syrup onto paper plates to form giant "sugar cookies" that get placed in the hive. Each hive is different, but the extra food helps ensure the bees survive if they run out of their stored honey.

Seems like it's a best of both worlds type of arrangement for him. He gets honey and the bees survive.
First of all: thank you for your work on securing congressional campaigns! I can count on my hands the number of people I admire in the intersection between technology and politics, and you're one of them.

I agree it's a lot to ask. But I think it's better to demand extreme security considerations from users and fall slightly short in practice than to encourage any practice that improves account security beyond a single password (e.g., SMS codes).

One frustrates users and makes them abandon 2FA, the other (IMO) encourages some complacency and makes it harder to justify changes to users (especially ones that are really great from both UX and security perspectives, like WebAuthn).

To its credit, cmd-tab is more than just an application switcher. It's also a quitter, and hider, and window previewer/switcher, and drop target, and "click dock icon" (not sure if this even has a name), and probably other things. It offers basically all the functionality of (the top half of) the dock, but in an MRU-ordered and (somewhat) keyboard-friendly way.

> From my perspective, I think partitioning the Google+ team into their own Dark Tower with their own super-healthy cafeteria that was for them and their executives alone

I work in an IT MSP where we do business with lots of small-medium companies, and i am astounded at how much the leadership sets the culture for the company. A sarcastic and passive aggressive CEO will have a company of rude employees. An outgoing confident type A person will work with friendly extroverts.

Separating a team like this guarantees a different culture than the rest of Google, and imherent resentment between the two.
Welp, there it is. As clear cut a case of the dangers of Google basically holding the keys to the internet for the masses as I've ever seen.

Leetcode is the de-facto du-jour place to practice your algorithms chop for interviews for majority of the Valley/Seattle/NYC companies (and maybe extend that to Austin as well, pretty much any big-tech-hub cities). Heck even up north in Canada (Vancouver/Toronto), I heard companies have adopted that model as well.

> It's weird to bring up big companies as they use every language under the sun and of course

Why is it weird? it's the reality and they have massive amount of engineers that use Java/JavaScript.

For those who want massive salary, good-looking resume, and potential to work on solving interesting problem (potential, not guaranteed), they will have to prepare (grind) for the technical interview at Leetcode. Some take months.

> But I do think you underestimate the number of times they reach out for systems languages like C++

I don't. Amazon+LinkedIN+Twitter are super massive Java shops.

Let me turn the table around...

If you haven't heard Leetcode by now then well...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (pardon me, I don't mean to attack you but this uhm... crazy whiteboarding/leetcode movement started in 2016 and have been taking our industry by storm).

Maybe you should try the site and solve 30 problems ranging from EASY, MEDIUM, and HARD to get some idea.

I did this recently and basically there's a way of requesting adding another mobile number to the account as a recovery number.

You put in the application, wait about 4 days and then you'll get auto approved (I can't believe any human looked at this process) and you can then set that number as the recovery number.

It seemed to circumvent the whole MFA thing pretty easily but the penalty was time.

No idea what checks were performed in the background by Apple, I suspect none. It seems like the 4 day wait was just to make me feel the system would be secure if someone tried it to me.
For sure. All the military bunkers I have been in had numerous massive generators and hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel.

Are you German? Or did you learn it as a foreign language? If it's the former, I'd love to know what region you are from because that is never how I would use that word (I'm from SH).

"Beleidigt" for me is absolutely "hurt feeling".

I recently discovered Louis Rossman's Youtube channel and it planted a virus in my head to make me want to try much harder to repair things.

Recently my water bottle leaked on my $2000 Thinkpad and fried the LAN card. Ubuntu started complaining that it couldn't find the Wireless adapter to find wifi networks. I think a couple years ago, I'd have just thrown in the towel right away and bought a new computer. Instead I did some research and found a $20 replacement card on Amazon. It took me 15 minutes to fix my laptop. I felt a great sense of pride afterwards for avoiding a great amount of environmental and financial waste.

Same thing with my $200 coffee grinder. It stopped grinding beans properly. I did some research and found the usual cause was a thin plastic piece inside the grinder would crack and become loose. After 5 years of ownership I had previously considered just buying a new one because "well it's pretty old". But instead I found the small plastic part on Baratza's website and successfully repaired my grinder. It cost me $8 and 20 minutes of my time.

I think I'm becoming a repair extremist and will probably start to annoy people by insisting on taking this route whenever possible. It seems like American culture cares very little about repairing/mending things. It seems like people expect everything to break and use it as a cue to buy a new one. It's really sad, especially because I think we were intentionally trained to think that way.
More Americans travel to India on business than Indians seeking H1-Bs.

Already did that. It doesn't do anything if the side of the laptop is pushing into my leg or the side of the couch or something, which is where it usually happens.
I find it frustrating that any kind of stereotype is now considered "racist", as if there were no cultures anymore, only a uniform global distribution of individuals. At the same time, how is it better to claim that all Germans have become less focused on honesty in the last 50 years?

I agree that the stereotype is not wholly accurate. German youngsters spend a lot of time maintaining their thoroughly fake Instagram/YouTube personas. Nobody with a love of order would tolerate our terrible trains. But the culture shock I got from visiting Australia and California somewhat resembles the stereotypes in the article.
Indeed, however, there are certain "no brain" borders we can cross right away. For instance, it should not be illegal to repair your device. But ouch, we have already made ourselves an enemy of huge parts of several big industries.

The world is a bit crazy sometimes.
I've started using web components in my last project and it has been very helpful in compartmentalizing functionality and promoting resue. Things are a bit different in my experience than what're described in the blog. Here're the points as seen differently.

1. Good point, though someone is going to write a server side renderer to pre-generate the custom tags into regular html tags.

2. A web component can import its own CSS file, no need to put styles in JS code or string.

<style>
@import "/css/shared-styles.css"
@import "/components/my-widget/my-widget.css"
</style>

5. Composing with sub-components works just fine with or without slotted content. What's wanted in item 5 was a special case for dynamically including content at runtime. That's best left to Javascript when triggered with property setting.

6. For properties and attributes, it's simplest to just reflect all property get/set calls to attributes, using attribute as the only storage. I have some helper function to do that.

attrAsProp(comp, attr, property)
Object.defineProperty(comp, property, {
get: function() { return comp.getAttribute(attr) },
set: function(v) { comp.setAttribute(attr, v) }
});

9. Global namespace is a problem but it also makes things simple to use. We don't want complicate stuff like xmlns.

>maybe what you consider an ideal world or even positive outcomes or even onerous regulations are not what others have in mind, what with your "dark views of humanity" and all?

Many people (dare I say the overwhelming majority) on HN agrees that real estate needs a heck of a lot less regulation so supply can do better meeting demand and costs can drop.

We may argue about the minutia but pretty much everyone on HN also agrees that medical (in the US) is nowhere near a free market and substantial de-regulation (so the "race to the bottom" can control costs) and/or (but probably "and") a government option (to provide a cost and quality controlled baseline of care) could/would improve the situation.

"Ideal" or not a heck of a lot of people believe that deregulation (within reason) of some/all of the things you listed as free market failures would result in a large improvement from the status quo.

>hmmm you elsewhere, on a topic about the harrowing conditions of FB moderators, claim that "there's a lot of variance between individuals ... I'm not the kind of person that's particularly bothered by graphic violence. My opinion of humanity is dark enough to accommodate it"

If you think you can "win" an argument by saying "hurr durr, this guy I'm arguing with has opinions other people don't like" then you are sorely wrong. That is how Reddit works but thankfully HN has still not stopped that low and FYI the comment below the one you linked where I expanded on and clarified my point is highly up-voted. ;)

I'm not sure I'd say that. It greatly depends on the issue but regardless, what is wrong with that?

> Great managers give clear expectations. Even if you operate autonomously, they still provide you guidance on "this is what I expect, and this is how and when you should communicate <X> to me".

In many places, managers are subtly discouraged/disincentivized from doing this by not being given enough power to properly reward their people.

Being granted poor rewards or being denied a raise or promotion by organizational powers-that-be for reasons like budget or priorities is a morale killer when your manager has given you nothing but positive feedback and affirmation that you are clearly meeting/exceeding clear expectations. Being able to say "well, you were given a lot of freedom, and you chose to pursue things that didn't have the right kinds of impact" is an easy get-out-of-jail-free card for a manager, and is only really effective if you've been stringing someone along with arbitrary mixed feedback and unclear or constantly shifting goals.

Bank account balances aren't money, they're IOU's, a record of debt - a bank handing out a statement that shows an account balance of $100 quite literally means the bank saying "we acknowledge that [as of date X] we owe you $100" and nothing else.

The standard money transfer from Bob to Joe is a deal where the bank says "ok, Bob, we owed you $100 but if you want that then we'll now owe that $100 to Joe instead".

It's also worth noting that's just a record of debt not reality - there has to be some legal basis for that transaction to actually change the liability between the bank and the account holder, simply changing the balance in a database doesn't change the amount of debt but just the record i.e. "bank's opinion" of that debt; and if that record/opinion is wrong, then that balance can and will be disputed, and if the dispute can't be resolved otherwise, then it'll be up to courts to decide if that debt is valid or not.

If you record just the credit without the debit, then it's the equivalent of the bank unilaterally agreeing to new debt, the bank asserting that it now owes $100 to Joe just because. It's free to do that, but it would mean that it's "books won't balance" i.e. their accounting isn't consistent with itself and doesn't match reality, so to properly account for that transaction they'd have to book a debit to their profit&loss statement since they lost money by acknowleding that balance increase i.e debt without an offseting balance/debt decrease to someone else.

Well, as a someone who had the same initial feelings with TypeScript when it came "oh it slows me down, these types are just a waste of time", I get where you're coming from but think that you have some other issues than TypeScript with your team and project. First of I'd want to say that most of your complaints about "no runtime type validation" in the context of TypeScript/JavaScript is just how unreliable JS is as a language. You just can never be sure and even with TS you can get all the boilerplate of TS with zero benefits if you resort to using `any` anytime you feel too lazy to add difficult types.

Which leads to my next point, the slowness of writing TS compared to JS. I don't know how you maintain your code bases but from my experience any time a new programmer comes in who doesn't know anything about the code, they'll be from time to time wondering, in their heads or aloud, what the hell is the type of some parameter or why something fails on some weird undefined value bug. There's just so much trial and error with JS whereas with TS I don't have to look up at the broken website to see all the errors hitting me as it's all caught with the compiler. Pretty basic static typing stuff but it all comes down to more time writing code, sure, but less time over time maintaining it. And overall the readability of your code is just night and a day with special emphasis towards young programmers or those unfamiliar with the codebase.

What I think has happened is, that you've been bitten by some weird problem regarding API endpoints and incorrectly assumed your typings would hold with an external data source. That just sounds poor programming (don't you use validation libraries such as Joi?) and frankly, a problem entirely of JS itself that such anomalies would happen. If my API starts returning arrays instead of objects sure as hell I'd be angry too but that's just not how it should work. Not a problem of TypeScript, at all.

About the other problems - haven't faced those myself. Most problems I've had have been with writing the correct types especially when they get complex with generics. Sometimes TSC has been annoying and also exporting types into a single typing file seemed quite laborious last time I tried.

Browser support is necessary for a website to communicate with a hardware key (such as Yubikey). Yubikeys aren't automatic; you press a button to authenticate.

Maybe you don't like those, but they work well for many people. Even non-technical users are less likely to lose a key on their keychain than to lose or damage their phone. (I've lost Google Authenticator keys to phone hardware failure.) They can also be used by people who don't have a cell phone at all, or use it rarely.

They're also resistant to phishing attacks since they authenticate the site, and users are not good at checking domain names.

Anmäld: While my sample used a CH German word ("verzeigt") vs the normal German ("angezeigt"), you arguably _could_ go with "gemeldet" (officially reported).

So understandable German _could_ be "Rechtswidriges Parken wird gemeldet". Understandable, perfectly fine, just not .. the way it's commonly used, I'd say.

This. A person that gets their work done is not a slacker. I mean when I was in university there was a lad that did nothing, doodled in his notebook, smoked a lot of weed every day. And then aced every exam. He didn't need to appear "busy" to accomplish what he needed in his mind.

Likewise a lot of people work obliquely, letting problems percolate in their subconscious until it comes together and they can put together a solution quickly. These people may drive others crazy with how they work but that is not the profile of a slacker.
I use some CLOS, but most of it is plain old Lisp trying to avoid side-effects. Deploying is just dumping an SBCL core with the right functionality in it. It lives in a private server inside a VPN, listening to a port. Nothing fancy, really. I did consider at some point serving the web with Lisp as well (https://edicl.github.io/hunchentoot/, because I trust Edi Weitz's code) but I ended up doing it in python.
