That's a generous interpretation of the article. This line in the article shows the author's purposefully distorted view:

> For open source, poor-quality software is a problem to be explained away or a reason to eschew the software altogether. For free software, it is a problem to be worked through.

I cannot think of an OSS project that tried to "explain away" the quality issues they have (as in "It's poor quality because it is open source"), as opposed to working on them ("Yes, this is a bug. We'll fix some time in the future.").
We don't have that unfortunately. However, a quick hack is to upvote an issue related to the feature you like the most, or create an issue in case it does not exist.

Ofcourse, everyone has their own preference. Thats an interesting perspective as well. My only counter to that would be that its time consuming to roll your own auth for a complex or large scale app. It starts off easy but soon you have to make significant investments in various aspects of auth. That isnt true for all apps ofcourse. Definitely good to keep learning though!

They talk about what a challenge it will be to remove the malware from the systems. In our municipal IT department, whenever we've had a major infection the users will just have to feel the pain for a day while we pull the systems for reimaging, which takes about an hour to do, with up to another hour to redeploy and install and configure software.

In some cases, we had systems standing by ready to swap out. Trying to find and remove the malware can be a needle in a haystack and next to impossible to find, and take longer that just swapping them.

I looked at Airflow a long time ago, and it seemed focus on running tasks based on a time-based schedule. For example, if I needed to create a daily sales report every night, Airflow would be great because I could set up a timer to kick off a reporting process every night. Then I could do things like rerun the last 5 days of reports if needed, etc.

I was more interested in event-based tasks though. For example, a sale happens, and then a report about that individual sale gets generated. At the time, this seemed to require some Airflow hacks and would cause me to miss out on some of its features. Is this still the case?
If you're looking for wealth & asset management, wouldn't you want a more general purpose enterprise like Wells Fargo? If you're wealthy enough to need that sort of management, you're probably going to want a decent level of diversification, which Wells & others can provide, but Coinbase does not.

Although I suppose Coinbase could be the platform through which those general purpose companies work for clients that want crypto.

This fact was obvious long before 50 years ago! For starters, just go back to Marx and Engels in the 1840s.

The longstanding problem with that trickle down argument is and has always been that the rich have always had the money to: (a) effectively lobby politicians into accepting that viewpoint, and or (b) becoming politicians thus enabling them to enact laws that benefit themselves directly, and (c) to purge or whitewash arguments/statements to this effect from history (such as my comment here) by the effective use of propaganda. Ordinary people simply don't have the financial resources to effectively counter these self-serving actions.

It really is time we stopped mucking about and called this economic nonsense for what it really is—a charade or justification that only fools the gullible.

For instance, we could begin by abandoning the Nobel Prize for economics, this would bring the artificially-propped-up status of the Milton Friedmans of this world back down to earth.

Entomologist E.O Wilson said about communism, "great idea, wrong species". It's basically how I feel about 'free software'. There's a very straight forward reason why, as the author points out, free software projects are run by lone developers and lack resources. Because free software, by its own stated mission goal, basically has no good way to reap the rewards for the benefits it brings to the public. It's a great idea in the wrong economic system.

> Its not like "processing" makes something more or less poisonous

I completely agree with this. There's nothing inherent to processing food that makes it less healthy. In fact it could potentially make it even more healthy, e.g. adding fiber or protein to a starch. Heck, even just like at the original processing technique. Cooked vegetables are more nutritious than raw vegetables.

But the reality is that 99% of processing is directed at making foods hyper-palatable, calorically dense, and easy to digest. Because that's what consumers crave. If someone's investing the capital necessary to process foods, it would not be smart to do it such a way to make their product less appealing.

So the reality is that avoiding processed foods in favor of whole foods winds up being a pretty good heuristic. The only real exception I can think of are products marketed explicitly as health food, and even a lot of times they're not actually that healthy.

This one change was huge. And now gui emacs works perfectly in windoes, backed by wsl.

Only if there is a bijection between the identifier and the IP address, so that you could re-derive the IP address from the identifier. Otherwise, I do not see how the identifier itself would count as PII.

This way of divorcing data from PII by replacing it with pseudonymous identifiers which cannot be linked back is a relatively standard technique for this.

SpaceX aiming for quantum computing breakthrough – Morgan Stanley
So the core is written in Java. The core is a http microservice that contains the main auth logic + interacts with the database.

The backend API queries the core for sign in / sign up / sessions etc... This can be in any framework, and we decided to choose NodeJS first. Here, the user does not have to interact with Java at all.. just simply use our NodeJS SDK that internally calls the core's APIs
I had the same question so I did some digging. Here's some relevant excerpts from the decision from the US Court of Appeals:

> A district court may consider as part of its sentencing determination uncharged conduct proven by a preponderance of the evidence as long as that conduct does not increase either the statutory minimum or maximum available punishment.
> ...
> Here, the six drug-related deaths (and more importantly, Ulbricht's attempted murders for hire) were uncharged facts that did not increase either the statutory twenty-year minimum or the maximum life sentence applicable to the crimes of which he was found guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, by the jury. [1]

And later:

> Thus, even without considering that enhancement, the drug convictions yielded an offense level of 48, which is higher than the maximum offense level recognized by the Guidelines, for which a sentence of life imprisonment is recommended even for someone who, like Ulbricht, has no prior criminal convictions.
> ...
> Accordingly, while a life sentence for selling drugs alone would give pause, we would be hard put to find such a sentence beyond the bounds of reason for drug crimes of this magnitude.[67] But the facts of this case involve much more than simply facilitating the sale of narcotics. [2]

To summarize, Apprendi v. New Jersey says that facts not found by a jury cannot be used to raise sentence maximums. However, sentencing guidelines for the crimes Ulbricht was convicted of give a maximum life sentence. Therefore, using uncharged facts to inform sentencing is permissible because it doesn't actually increase the maximum possible sentence. Had evidence to those things not been presented at trial, it's possible (probable?) that his sentence would have been shorter.

Personally, this seems problematic as while it doesn't technically increase the sentencing maximum, it allows the judge to bypass the jury to determine guilt on certain facts.

If this is what you think, the headline is truly awful; git commits are stored as diffs where possible.
If it wasn't about money, surely they could have a second index for old code? And then asynchronously query both, filling the fast results in first.

Or maybe have a keyword for searching old code, or search if current results seem bad, etc.

I agree that auth is still a damn pain in the ass.

My last two experiences have been with Firebase and Django, both with React front-ends.

I think the state of JWT auth in Django with Rest Framework is dire. I've used the most popular packages (dj-rest-auth, which uses simple-jwt for JWT under the hood) and I've had to tweak way more than I would like to make it all work. I've been shocked to learn that this is not a solved problem in one of the world's most popular web frameworks, and I'd definitely consider using external auth in future projects.

The Firebase experience on the other hand has been outstanding. The front-end SDK is great and so is the documentation. I had to implement SAML SSO for a massive corporate customer using Microsoft AD and was able pull it off in an afternoon without a hitch. The ability to add custom claims and the like is also great - the whole thing feels really feature-complete. But then there's the fact that I don't trust Google with my user data and that I fear that at any time they could start charging onerous amounts for the service, or worse.

In both cases, the most painful bit however has been by far implementing the React front-end. Wiring the views, Redux async actions, etc. That's the part I wish I could get rid of. I see you provide some sort of front-end, but if you provided some sort of adjacent, standalone React library offering views and auth state management out of the box you'd surely get my attention - I'd possibly consider contributing code to it, too.

Overall I think the whole idea sounds great and you may be on to something: in summary, I feel that Google can't be trusted, Auth0 looks eye-watering expensive, Keycloak looks a bit complicated for certain projects, and popular web frameworks like Django may not be as good at token auth as we would take for granted.

I must be honest in that I wouldn't put your tech into production right now because I'm never a tech early-adopter, but I'll keep an eye on it, I'll seriously consider it for personal projects, and if it gets decent momentum in a few months I'll definitely consider extending it to client projects.

Congratulations for launching - I really, really wish you the best of luck.

It depends on what you mean by “work better”.

If your goal is to further enrich the capitalist class while building a quasi-religious doctrine that results in failure of the working classes to see progress resulting in popular pressure to even further enrich the capitalist class, no.

If you have a different goal than the people promoting trickle-down theory, then, sure, maybe.

Cloudflare abandoned their previously permissive free speech stance. Are they really a company we want to give more centralized power and market share to? I'm concerned they may be yet another activist tech company who joins the deplatforming train, and would rather not rely on their products or evangelize them if that's the case. Given that they are essentially an Internet utility, I'd rather see them operate in a content-neutral manner except where the law forces them to take action.
