This is one of those stories that had no relevance in actuality, yet gets brought up in nearly every single mention of Fastmail: The bill applied to a requirement for backdoors/the ability to decrypt data. Fastmail was never E2E encrypted in the first place (like Gmail, Outlook, and most other major mail providers), and hence, Fastmail was always required to comply with lawful requests for your data.

Yep, I wish either nmpjs.com or npms.io would list the total number of transitive dependencies in their search so I could sort by it.

npmjs.com shows the number of dependencies at the top but doesn't total in dev-dependencies unless you dive in further. At first glance, npmjs.com leads you to believe webpack has only 24 dependencies when they have 52 additional dev dependencies leading to ~300 transitive deps with ~200 maintainers I now have to either constantly audit or implicitly trust[0]

Just get a TI-84 calculator: it runs this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_eZ80

Here is the TLDR:

- 24 bit processor

- backward compatible with Z80

- resets into Z80 mode

- Z80 mode has 16 bit addresses and 8 bit registers that can be used as 16 bit pairs.

- ADL mode (address and data long mode) has 8 bit registers that can be used as 16 bit pairs or as 24 bit extended pairs.

- A 8 bit MBASE register controls which bank of address space is seen by Z80 mode.

- ADL mode has two banks of registers: main B, C, D, E, H, L and alternate B', C', D', E', H', L', with some support for fast switching between them.
I dont think "hiring someone who knows the social landscape" for your sales/networking position is a flaw. You really just need to plan for this if you want to start that type of company. A company needs more than just product builders.
As bilekas was saying, the one fundamental reason why growth must not be so important is that it cannot continue ad infinitum, thus we will have to learn and cope with that.

While you state an important point, the issue of growth having to stop (sooner or later) cannot be ignored.

It took me years of cooking every day to get to a level where I'm confident in my cooking skills. It's a lot of trial and error. Look up a recipe that looks good, and try to follow it exactly. There's no eyeballing when you are learning. There's a reason those ingredients are added in that particular order and quantity.

I've come to a point where I can whip up a recipe and improvise some, but that's after years of following recipes, experimenting and eating a fair share of disappointing meals.

It's amazing how many websites don't verify email addresses.

No, Google has paid to be the the default in most cases.
My bet is that the contractors were incompetents who were hired based on political connections, and they both 1) just finished the app within the past week, and 2) never tested it after it was officially finalized. By bet is that they tested it weeks ago, it failed, they blamed the failure on a few bugs, they eventually marked those specific bugs fixed, then just prayed after shipping it. I know I'm being too specific, but past trauma.

Major sign: Not only wasn't there a dry run before d-day, but they didn't even train the people expected to use the app on the app.

The corruption is traditional corrupt procurement (apparently connected to Buttigieg and the Clinton complex) rather than an attempt to fix the primary. Primary fixing will be done out in the open with sudden rule changes.

Buttigieg is probably hurt the worst by the confusion and delay. His probable second place finish is unexpectedly good.

He probably is also hurt by Biden’s bad finish being lost in the chaos.

Agreed. The skill I'm working on this year seems to be woodworking. I made my wife a little box to put her Christmas present in, and designed and built a storage system for the garage over the holidays. Now I'm working on building a new set of workbenches for the garage to replace the ones the previous owner built.

Hey all,

We've been building a webapp that is pretty much a mash of Medium.com and a social network. The core feature is a multimedia writing tool to write about something you built or publishing a paper or presentation - e.g. a github project.

Cheers,

P.S. the idea for it came from us having had projects, presentations and papers at uni and during work that ended up collecting dust on our harddrives, even though tons of work went into it.

All that page claims is that one or more members of their team worked at the DNC at some point. That's not exactly persuasive evidence that the company is some kind of purpose-built DNC kamikaze cruise missile. It could just as easily mean they've got some people who worked low-level jobs at the DNC, and are now trying to leverage that connection to sound like bigger deals then they actually are.
It seems like you're getting at discounted future cash flow. But this has an easy explanation for why assets are more expensive. Interest rates are incredibly low which discounts future cash less.

We're also in late-stage capitalism and on the cusp of something new (either fascism/feudalism or democratic socialism). The AI/automation juggernaut will displace millions of jobs. Climate change is coming fast and is going to challenge our survival. Free markets are a wonderful thing but we're well past Adam Smith territory now.
> Is this a 16 bit or an 8 bit machine?

The linked page answers that. It has a 14MHz Z80 and a separate 16b coprocessor that does as yet unspecified tasks.

I'm (a) surprised it is only 14 MHz seeing that it is running on an FPGA. Secondly, I'm surprised they didn't go with a Z800 or Z280, which run legacy Z80 code and have 16b extensions and an MMU for a larger memory space.
American party nominations have been, are currently, and will forever be a total Charlie Foxtrot.

The Democratic 1860 Conventions were so bad they decided to put up two candidates, had to do it over a few times, had many walkouts, and effectively seceded Lincoln the Presidency and engulfed the nation in war as a result. It was so bad it literally was a cause of the Civil War.

The 1912 Republican Convention literally split the party, with the fisticuffs and black eyes to prove it. Edumnd Morris has a good bit on that one and the hijinks, corruption, vote-selling, and smoke filled rooms in his Theodore Rex series. To us today, it's ghastly.

I think it was the 1952 National Conventions that really exposed to the public what a mess it all is, as they were the first ones to be televised. During the process people intentionally lit newspapers on fire in order to cause chaos (my memory is a bit fuzzy here though).

The 1964 Republican convention at SF's Cow Palace, dubbed Conservative Woodstock, was more of a Nazi rally than anything else. Reporters had racial and sexist slurs screamed at them until they ran for their lives.

The state caucuses are a reflection of these conventions and America itself; drunken, insane, corrupt, spectacle.
Recent history has proven out time and time again that all sorts of organizations that should know better about securing their applications and data, absolutely don't. Just look at the Equifax breach or the OPM breach for examples.

For whatever reason, many, many people in positions of leadership have a hard time properly evaluating and mitigating risk when it comes to cybersecurity. Even when it's obvious that risk can absolutely destroy their organization.
> > Experiments may be further limited by country (determined by your IP address)

> They even admit to inspecting the IP address...

I don't think that sentence admits what you say? Chrome could be determining which experiments to run client-side.

Of course, when you visit a Google property, they needs must inspect your IP address to send a response to you, at a minimum. That goes for any site you might choose to visit. The existence of sufficient entropy to personally identify a site visitor is not a state secret. They do not need this chrome experiment seed to identify you, if that's a goal.
No, it's what unethical A/B testing is.

You don't need to (un)marshal necessarily; stuff like strings, or arrays of integers, can go straight across. And if you have to pass large amounts of data, they'll probably take a form that's something like that.
Apparently nobody in the DNC has heard anything about electronic voting being inherently flawed. It's astounding they encouraged the use of this app.

I used to have this 65c816 fantasy. That Atari or Commodore had put out a machine in this lineage rather than jumping to the 68000. On paper it looks appealing -- 6502 compatibility, 24-bit address bus, super fast interrupt responsiveness, very cycle efficient.

So I wasted some time last year futzing around on the C256 Phoenix project -- wrote an emulator for it (or some aspect of what it looked like on paper) since I didn't have a board yet, wrote some code for it, had a falling out with the creator, a bit of a saga. In any case, what I learned in this process is that I really don't like the '816. It was a hack bolted onto the side of the 6502. Bill Mensch couldn't or wouldn't add new addressing modes and register sets to the instruction set to allow 8-bit and 16-bit to co-exist, so there's a constant awkward mode switch back and forth in terms of how the registers are viewed. Even worse, it has a 24-bit address bus but no registers can deal with 24-bit pointer values, so a constant awkward play with using indirect addressing or using multiple instructions to modify addresses or switch pages and so on. And then on top of that the physical chip doesn't break out all 24 address lines, so interfacing the thing is a pain.

The 816 is still produced 35 years later, and available in PLCC and SMT form factors. But they've had this 35 years to make a version of the chip that breaks out all the address lines instead of multiplexing it, which would make sense with the higher pin count available in SMT. But they haven't done it. Why? They went through the effort of making a microcontroller version of it that actually does break out all 24 lines, which nobody really uses. But no MPU.

In the end the 816 was a bit of a hack done especially for Apple. I understand why Mensch did it, but they could have done better.

In contrast, the Z80 has continued to evolve. You can get a brand new eZ80 etc. with large address space and higher clock speeds and excellent cycle efficiency, etc. and not have to muck around with demultiplexing the address bus, etc.

So all said I now understand why engineers at Atari and Commodore and Apple said "f it" about the 6502 and switched to the 68000. The real tragedy of the late 80s/90s era was that Motorola pissed away the excellency of 680x0 by jumping first to the 88000 (failure) and then the PowerPC (less of a failure but not a success for Motorola). Meanwhile Intel kept backwards compatibility and squeezed every ounce it could out of the existing x86, and that's one reason they did better and Wintel maintained dominance.
Google employees are not a random sample of their user base, so such experiments would be meaningless.

See the fiasco where they broke Terminal Services last year as an example of what can go wrong even when doing experiments on the whole user base.

Also consider how to measure the usage of web features Google's own websites don't use, but are popular on e.g. intranets in Korea.

A/B testing isn't bad, it's a good thing. People are notoriously not very good at giving feedback. Experiments and usage statistics let you get the ground truth about what they really value, and what's really working.
One way I've seen this happen is images have UUIDs (or just incrementing), they're base-64 encoded somewhere after security checks, and someone accidentally called `toLower()` on the id.
I could not have put it better myself.
Load handling is part of a normal security check.

If they're unable to determine the veracity of the story, they should retract it. If they're convinced of some elements of the story but not others, they should say so.

The failure to follow up with either affirmation or retraction seems dishonest.
My library adds the piped value as the last parameter but if you read the docs, you'd see that you can use a placeholder to change its place:

ppipe([1, 2, 3, 4]).pipe(Enum.filter, _, x => x % 2 === 0)

Not that filter fn in js is in the prototype of arrays so you'd need to extract it. There's a shortcut when using my library though:

ppipe([1,2,3]).filter(x => x > 2)

I made the practical decision to provide prototype functions from the piped value while chaining.
Why does the developer have to have any political tilt to it? You're paying a contract developer to develop an app that tallys numbers together...I would pick a shop that has experience with security over any political tilt.
> Programmers should stop pushing buggy or incomplete software as is, and start releasing software that works

If you demand a perfection-of-function guarantee from something as complicated as a web browser, you'll never get a web browser with more features than the ones released in the '90s (and I'm not even sure we'd be that far along by now).

If I'm given a forced choice between "more privacy" and "the software ever having the features I want to use" I'm also going to lean towards "the software ever having the features I want to use." And we know this is true for users in general because of the number of users who had Flash installed back-in-the-day in spite of the fact that it allowed a total bypass of the browser security model, because it had features that the browser lacked otherwise.

> Why are they there? Are they just taking this class because they are pursuing the money

Yes. Having a piece of paper makes you more qualified when competing against thousands of people. Of course you can do other things to make yourself stand out by showing off your projects you've worked on, but that's a lot harder than gaming the system to get good grades.

As it stands now, a college degree is just a qualifier that tells companies "this person is willing to play the game that current society has established, and will make a better employee than those that aren't willing"
It's a complicated issue. I am very privacy focused, the kind of person that doesn't do facebook, burns accounts on different forums regularly, etc, but I have to admit I enjoyed the information I got out of twitter while not enjoying some of their recent changes.

Since the spam calls and the phone link in though, I have already changed my twitter-name and lost all followers, and since then I pretty much stopped tweeting. Haven't logged in in at least a month now.

The main problem with adoption of an alternative is that I was using it to keep up with the kinds of people that aren't necessarily going to move to an alternative until it reaches some sort of critical mass. My RSS feeds are already full enough without having to add a bunch of random single person blogs to keep up with, so I'm not sure to be honest. Twitter was my main compromise to stay more socially connected with a wider array of people and it's hard to let go of that.

Despite my desire for good federated and open source social networking, it isn't quite there yet, and so for the time being the one social outlet alternative I see glimmers of hope in is WT.Social.

It's almost as though having a US office contributes to the US economy regardless of whether there's foreign or domestic workers there. It's a net positive for the US regardless, even if 100% of workers at that office are foreigners if the alternative is moving the office to a country with a sane immigration program.

Folks in the office have to rent/buy property, buy food, supplies, etc, all from local workers too. Taxes are paid. You know, business.
