Fine so they modify the a field in the object, the point made was that you don't want to ingest anything other than what which is provided by the expected and hopefully trusted author.

I'm feeling a bit thick. Regarding the change to the sign-up process...

Originally:

> Users couldn’t get started on their own. They had to first leave their email address and then wait for me to send them an email with a link allowing them to register and start building their Cortado email.

Afterly:

> As soon as users click the submit button, they get an email verification message in their inbox, which they can click on to set a password and get started.

So, what changed? In both cases users have to submit their email address and interact with a(n) (automated?) registration/sign-up email. In the second case there's the added hurdle of a captcha (which sounds worse).
This is false. Tesla's startup plan specifically states employees who choose to remain at home will not be penalized for doing so. If you do choose to return to Fremont, PPE will be provided and social distancing measures will be enforced. These measure were implemented and tested at the Shanghai Gigafactory.

If I get an unsolicited email for a service I don't recognise, that has a link in it and a message asking me to click on it, should I click on it?

Commmon advice is don't click on links in mails you aren't expecting. It just confirms your address is real for spam harvesting.
helping your company save costs (at scale) is almost always stupid compared to selling that knowledge to other companies.
Since solutions for recaptchas can be purchased, I'm starting to wish I could just pay the market rate (< $0.01 each) instead of having to solve the damned things.
holy...This is crazy. I really want to learn game engine architecture. Anyone have any links/recommendations for starting developers?
I completely agree, but it's a privilege to be able to risk your job for such a principle. I hope we can push to level the power imbalance between companies and employees so that privilege is available to more people.
NYC is much more affordable if you're willing to commute from Queens - you can get a two bedroom near Jackson Heights for under $300k and still take the train to work in Manhattan.

If you want to live in Manhattan you pay a lot but it at least feels like you're getting something in return by being walking distance to the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world.

The Bay is nearly as expensive as Manhattan but for the most part it's indistinguishable from any random suburb in Florida or Texas or wherever. Lawns, Costcos, car dealerships - really not worth $4k a month.

I'm not an expert in these things but my understanding is that Unity is much better for smaller games. I think Unreal is aimed at the AAA market.
In B2B, it could be that the person who wants to try out the service is an employee of a company. He/She needs to first test the service before trying to convince their manager (or the company) to subscribe. Such people might not have a corporate credit card to put in, could be company policy that such subscriptions are handled by a different department. They might also not wish to use their personal credit card for corporate services.
People who are facing destitution with no other options frequently become radicals. Especially when there is a clear reason, abuse from powerful, untouchable organizations.

"Desirable cities" for me, as a 30-year-old software engineer, include Brevard, North Carolina and Dahlonega, Georgia. Notably, that list does not include New York City, Los Angeles, and definitely doesn't include San Francisco (I'd quit a job if it required me to move there, without a second thought).

"Desirable" is a multivariate subjective assessment, not an objective trait (or even a mostly-consensus one).

One of the best DBAs I've had the pleasure of working with would, from what I've gathered, prefer to be in a boat on a lake somewhere in rural Alabama than to be in many of the major "tech hub cities". Being a software engineer doesn't mean you have the same opinions as other software engineers (as a quick search of programming language trends might show, at least on a superficial level).
Yeah, good point, I guess most of it comes with practice. Cool article! I really liked that you complemented them with videos.
I had a boss sum it up pretty well for us once. It was stressful and a bunch of people had been arguing at work. The boss rounded everyone up and basically told us all that in the end, the business would go on whether he had to run it alone or not. We could all keep arguing, fucking up jobs, pissing customers off and losing the business money, but then nobody would have work at all. Or we could all get over our differences, work shit out and keep getting paid.

That was pretty much all it took.

And I understand, he'd been running that business for over 20 years and started it from nothing. He was fairly successful while I was working there, but he'd been at the bottom before and would keep working back up from there again if it came down to it.

He's probably one of the best bosses i've had, he was fair and would invest in employees and the business, but the business always came first.
Using homes as investment vehicles never seems to sit right with me.
Yeah I think that's a great way to frame it, historically one of the turn offs for me with FP was that it was overly academic when I am much more about how practical a tool the language is for what I'm trying to accomplish. Elixir was definitely the first FP that felt that way for me.

That said I have grown an appreciation for more esoteric languages and enjoy seeing the way they handle various problems it's just likely they'll never have a place in my toolkit.

It's so funny how you can whip up conspiracy theories just by adding superfluous adjectives. Instead of just saying "radar" you say "wireless radar device", as if prior radars used wires, and then you say it creates "high-resolution images using radio pulses", as if this did not apply to every radar ever built.

We have been using aircraft to track vehicles since the invention of aircraft. The people and their government have a legitimate interest in doing so. Nobody has a right to go about in a vehicle anonymously and privately.

That is pretty impressive, but I was distracted by the lack of anti-aliasing and the rough edges on all the models when back-lit.
I'll reiterate. Bloomberg had to dig deep to find 3 stories of landlords who by the looks of it are way overleveraged and trying to pull at the American heartstrings by spinning a yarn about "scrappy upstarts landlords"

If I owned more than 1 property I would sell them and the problem resolves itself. There are a lot more Americans who are trying to hold onto the little bit they do have, not 27 properties with a "woe is me" yarn.
I recall seeing it live in a devkit but I can't for the life of me remember the devkit specs. Note that that demo catered very expertly to the strengths of the PS1 hardware, it should run jut fine in a retail unit.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. This was back in 10.4 or 10.5. I remember seeing Apple had fixed it in a later version like how you describe.
Your only commentary here is that it doesn't live up to your expectations. You wanted more.

Technically, that's also is a disadvantage though, Intellij doesn't have constraints because it only needs to cater its IDEs.

But to your point, LSP have brought the IDE experience to others programming editors. Ex: Emacs now can do everything VSCode does for JS because of LSP.

You're out of touch with the reality for a large chunk of workers if you believe it's simple or even advisable for them to "just quit". We should be making the case for better conditions across the board, and this means not leaving it up to those in shitty situations to figure it out for themselves.

It’s a good lesson but let’s not forget that completing the signup is not the goal in itself. If you look at post-signup user activity you will find many users stick around for a few minutes and then leave, never to return again.

If someone can’t be bothered to click a verification email, then removing that step is not going to magically turn them into an active user. More likely they will be one of the many people who leave after a few minutes.

I do a signup/onboarding optimization for startups, and here’s what I found from a recent project:

1) The verification email was NOT a significant bottleneck to signups. That is, most people clicked the link.

2) Removing the verification step did NOT have a meaningful impact on conversion rates.

If you don’t have a problem with user quality then sure, avoid the verification step. But if you have a good reason for the verification step then don’t sweat the drop-off rates.

And more importantly: Treat signups as a leading indicator of success, not the ultimate goal.

Edit: On second reading I see the author is talking about a verification step that requires an admin approval, which could take hours. Yeah, don’t do that.

I'm arguing that we aren't in a free market. The government has stepped in in a very unpredictable way and changed your contracts out from under you.

That isn't "free market: you lose". That's the only claim. And yes, "risky assets in a black swan event: you lose" is a much better claim.
Your software records a phone call an employee made while not on the clock? Congratulations, That's a felony.

Your software reports on their browser history when an employee is not on the clock, Congratulations, that's another felony.

Your terminate someone because the software is saying they aren't at their computers the whole day, that's a class action lawsuit and possibly another felony.

And all of it is EASY AS HELL TO PROOVE BECAUSE YOU MADE THE LOG FILES AND INSTRUCTED YOUR IT STAFF TO DO IT YOU DIPSHIT.

Think that your employment contract which stipulates you get to watch everything and anything they signed to keep or get their job will save you? Think binding arbitration will save you? Not only will it not save you, but it will make your sentance longer.

We have entered a brave new worlds of uncharted territory.

One of the key driving factors of bad behaivour of company staff is the consequences of a fertility rate so bad a newborn male child has a 1 in 2 shot at procreating. Many people in "trap" jobs have chosen to live well and die young; if that means fucking your company over for the maximum dollars than so be it, they will do it, and you are going to be forced into putting up with it. The disconnect of plantation management is unbelievable; they think it's honorable capitalism to cannibalize society and lament they have no choice but to do so. They have a choice, they just prefer not having responsability. And that's when they are not intentionally sabotaging you. Piss off your employee and they might let an APT group in on their personal computer who will then attack your infrastructure.

And if I were IT Staff, I'd asking the question and Nop'ing that and quoting the law.
Yes definitely, I would have never even bothered with Erlang before using Elixir and having it introduce me in a friendly way to Erlang, which is a shame because honestly the EVM and OTP are amazingly strong at what they both do.
Every major browser had put Java applets behind at least a click-to-play safeguard long before that time.

I strongly suspect that the security arguments were always more of a convenient smokescreen than an honest concern. Browser developers wanted to drop Java applets because they wanted to dump some legacy plug-in infrastructure that was painful to maintain, and their management probably viewed support for old and unprofitable technologies as an acceptable loss to achieve that goal.
The second case is immediate, so the user can do it as a single mental session.

You've been speaking of bosses, but I think the topic is of management. A subtle difference, but alas this is not word-play. A "boss" does not work for you, "management" works for you.
Yeah I get it, I just don't buy it. Move to a higher COL area, and you tend to get access to a market with expanded labor demand. So, it's $HIGHER_COL_MARKET_EMPLOYER (or $HIGHER_COL_MARKET if you catch my drift) increases your wages which pays for your mortgage.

But the competition tends to be fiercer in a higher COL area, so you are still not guaranteed even a median pay job in that area if you cannot get it. Many do not. The "higher COL area = higher pay" equation seems magical except it hides that it also includes higher competition.

That seems like a case where a reverse proxy like NGINX[1] would be useful. The configuration would basically be:

User->HTTPS over public internet->NGINX->HTTP on your private network->Custom appliances

The most vulnerable link (the public internet part) would still be encrypted, and browsers won't show the scary warnings. The HTTP connection would be confined to your private network, where MITM is less of a concern.

You can use one NGINX instance to reverse proxy multiple different appliances, so the maintenance overhead wouldn't be that high.

Most often I've seen this kind of thing done with software build pipelines where most competent engineers already have an understanding of the requirements, but this can be seen in other systems as well.

The point of these house of cards systems is that there is far more incidental complexity than there is essential complexity. The requirements are not enormously complex. The problem is that the incompetent engineer is only thinking tactically within the bounds of the system as it is currently implemented, they aren't thinking strategically about how the design could be improved to require much less work.
You've got a pretty simplistic view of freedom there, bud. Regulations often increase freedom for some while decreasing it for others. Constitutions are just regulations for government--does preventing the government from infringing on the right to free speech, for example, increase or decrease freedom?

Employers have immense power over their workers, and regulation is one of the tools societies can use to make sure that power isn't abused.
I also suspect that the high level of environmental certification the condo I live in has is not helping, because the ventilation is desperately inadequate.

JP Morgan is not your friend if you deal in Crypto.

Nobody is your friend if you deal in crypto. That's the whole point of crypto.

Or are we going to forget all the times that Coinbase and Bitfinex prevented customers from selling their coins as the value was falling, or when Tether promised an audit of their supposedly 1:1 USD-backed currency and then never did, or that time Mt Gox failed and took down several billion worth of coins with it, or that time Ethereum unilaterally changed the ledger because of the DAO scandal and wiped out $300 million of holdings?

The banks at least are governed by laws and regulated by governments. Many of the exchanges don't even bother to pay lip service to regulation.
I'm not sure why you say that sound has three dimensions -- for the most part we can treat sound as one-dimensional; just pressure at a point in space as a function of time. For a complete analysis of sound we need more than that, but that just inherits from the fact that space is three-dimensional so for a complete analysis we need the three-dimensional spatial distribution of pressure.

On a similar note, color is not fundamentally three-dimensional; that's a function of our eyes having three band-pass filters. Light itself is infinite dimensional; any function mapping frequency to intensity corresponds to a "color" of sorts. We can only perceive colors in terms of how they activate the three different sensor types (four including intensity).
Because you're applying a definition of freedom so absolutely and narrowly that it ceases to be useful.

Assault being illegal increases my freedom because I can freely walk down the street without threat of harm.

Prohibiting outside doors from being locked in a factory increases my freedom as a worker to leave whenever I choose.

And theoretically at an absolute minimum any time you see a prisoners dilemma regulation is how you prevent it and make sure that everyone gets their preferred outcome.

If your definition of freedom can't explain why voluntary enslavement makes people less free then it's useless.

This sort of behavior from Google really is infuriating. How they can just decide to boot an app from the Chrome Store that is installed by over a million users is mind-boggling.

It's a pity that Chrome doesn't allow extensions to be installed from the new Edge store, like Microsoft allow Edge to install extensions from the Chrome store. With both built on Chromium, that could've potentially been a workaround (though you may want to consider adding this extension to the Edge store anyway).

Hopefully someone from Google will see this and stop the madness or be able to provide more details on exactly what needs to be done, though I wouldn't bet on it.

It depends heavily on the interpretation of the CARES stimulus act [1], which provides requirements and guidance under what circumstances allow for unemployment benefits beyond the typical loss of employment. For example, if you are required to quarantine, are sick yourself from COVID, or need to provide care for someone else, you're eligible [2]. If this is a gap, it requires a legislative and fiscal policy fix.
