Oh boy. I sympathise entirely with this post, but the story's exactly the same on the backend.

Kubernetes. Docker. AWS and its gazillion impenetrable product names. The days of security updates, pentests, honeypots and captchas you have to go through in order to put up a webapp that won't be commandeered by (insert bad guy here) within hours. The endless cycle of breakage on your server because LetsEncrypt or whoever have upgraded their crypto libraries to fight against (insert bad guy here).

The need for a lawyer to write you a privacy policy before you can let people log into your site. The endless bullshit of dealing with "Log in with Facebook/Google/Apple" because that's what people expect these days. And even then it's better than dealing with email verification because Gmail/Hotmail will kill your emails anyway.

The complicated web is everywhere. Retreating to the backend is no escape. Sorry.

Offtopic, but what's with all the PGP signatures? One message is literally just "this message is signed with my key", followed by a key and a previous key. Is this a meta joke, automated signing (like signed emails), or am I tripping?!
Agnesi seems ok and is available here in out-of-the-way Brazil. De Cecco seems fine but is typically more expensive for reasons unknown to me. Barilla is also sometimes present here. Most brazilian brands don't or won't use hard wheat, though the local preference is for mushy pasta, so I don't know if this is cause or effect
Oh please stop.

Apparently the author has always worked on their own projects, with its own (or its team’s) discipline. Let me state this: old-school front-end is a mess once you have to mantain an enterprise-grade application.

npm is pure joy to work with, in comparison with a huge mess of copy-pasted files in a “vendors” directory (if you are lucky enough to have such a directory! currently I’m working on a project where developers copy-pasted the content of JS libraries one after the other in a single “lib.js” file… for years!)

Front-end development has now reached a very fine situation regarding code hygene and modularity — and this makes me very happy to be on the front-end side.
On the other hand, none of the deaths are caused by the power generation, they are caused by the infrastructure built for that power generation. It just happens that there's no reason to dig up coal and build a massive furnace to burn it for no reason, but there are other reasons to build dams. So it would be better to compare dangers associated with that infrastructure (ie. dams vs coal power plants), but then it's comparing apples to oranges; there's no simple metric to compare these things.

Not really - a lot of Scotch whisky production is large scale industrial operations owned by very large companies such as Diageo:

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

When I was a student (many years ago) I used to work in the summers at a very large industrial maltings that supplied malt to a lot of the "quality" whisky brands.

Edit: Scotland produces about 1.3 billion bottles of whisky a year worth ~£5billion:

https://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/insights/facts-figures/

Edit2: There is a Diageo site ~10km from where I live that is 1.5km x 0.5km of warehouses full of whisky!
What's the difference between saying n-word and the actual word? The concept that symbolises in my head is the same - and so any difference necessarily is to the benefit of the speaker, not the listener.
It does a bit.

First, you get a backup of all the old emails (person in the case lost access to 15 years worth of emails).
Second, the sync is configured, so you have a backup of freshly arriving emails.
That's reduces your risk already but you don't stop, once all of the above is setup you setup a filter "to: myold@gmail.com" and move those to a separate folder and then you just act on every email that you receive there. If it's from a robot, you go to that service and update your email. If it's from a person, you ask them to change your email in their contacts and so on. In fairly short amount of time, you have the issue resolved completely.

The funny thing is that once migration is done, you can configure Gmail as POP3 client to your email server and enjoy Google's UI while it lasts with zero risks. Yes, it'll be able to use SMTP server as well.
The Times is very purposeful in which stories they select to cover, and how they cover them. E.g. they removed race references from title after a story turned out to be a hoax:

A Black Virginia Girl Says White Classmates Cut Her Dreadlocks at a Playground - https://web.archive.org/web/20190927202007/https://www.nytim...

Update: Virginia Girl Recants Story of Assault, and Family Apologizes - https://web.archive.org/web/20191001003852/https://www.nytim...

In addition to how they chose to write the titles, would they be covering something as minor as a schoolyard scuffle if victim and perpetrator were reversed?

I’m guessing you’re not the subject of any slurs. When it comes to slurs, use-mention isn’t nearly as much of a distinction as you think. The mere mention of a slur is enough to bring the painful memories of its use roaring back, whether you want them to or not.

Also, it’s just kind of... weird... to insist on being allowed to say them. Of all the hills to die on, why that one?
The biggest problem is not even the bugs. It is that the game isn't in the state that is anywhere near to release quality. There are whole classes of AI and physics interaction missing.It still needs tremendous amount of work which hasn't been done.

Sounds like he’s burned out of software engineering. Moving to back end is not going to help, back end has similar issues. Micro services, reactive frameworks, package managers, etc.

It’s common to burn out of software engineering. It happens to many, if not most people in software. Software is fun to get started and dabble and enjoy as hobby. However, when it turns into larger scale projects with team members, it’s harder to manage. It becomes tedious and difficult very fast.

It’s ok to walk away and say software did not work out. Change careers and do something difficult. There’s more to life and career than moving bits around.

Nano cryptocurrency, a greener alternative to BTC
It's a bit complex, I'll try to summarize.

Let's think of being exposed to the sun as a continuum with different risks:

1. The best you can do is sun bathe every single day, all year round, avoiding mid-day hours in summer. Think "a gardener who loves being shirt-less". This scenario is related to more non-melanoma skin cancer (survival rate >99%), but both a lower incidence of melanoma, and a higher survival rate for melanoma.

2. The worst you can do is never sun bathe except for occasional heavy exposures. Think a week in the beach during summer vacation, and the rest of the year completely indoors. This scenario is related to more frequent melanoma, and a lower survival rate for it.

Sunscreen is great for #2 (people who can't or just won't be exposed often). But it's both unnecessary and undesired (since it limits the bening effects) in #1. And it also limits Vitamin D absorption.

So a better advice would be "be exposed to the sun often, every day if you can, and don't wear sunscreen when you do it".

Kids who are trespassing are not stupid. You have to take the risk, observe the behaviour of the security and then behave reasonably so that people would forgive you if you get caught.

The action is stupid, but trespassing idiots get caught quickly - that's just "survival of the fittest" mechanics.

If you never trespassed in your life then you were probably not smart enough to get away with it?

For that kind of product, source code is not actually that valuable in itself; it's the standards compliance, reliability and trustworthiness. Most charitable explanation is that the vendor is clueless about what their value really is, least charitable is that they know exactly how fucked up their code is.

Sorry about it being disjointed. I wrote it as a way to blow off steam.

Thank you for your sharing your perspective, kind stranger.
Yes, pre-covid, while the crime rates was going down across all european countries, violent crimes seemed to be going up. However, said violent crimes are a lot more restricted in both location and target than it was in the 80s and 90s and look a lot like crime pre-WW1, without the anarchists and socials justifications behind (or maybe people are not as well politically educated than they were in the 1900s).

I'm pretty sure gang rape however should just be about media not knowing what to talk about, violent sexual crimes on strangers only decreased in decades pre-covid.

Yeah thats not interesting or fun to discuss with you when you just bring up thoughts and not any source at all.

It is a fact that bitcoin uses energy; There is no source of your claim of bitcoin using 'waste' energy.

You also assume that the 'waste' energy exists apparently in areas where they have fully isolated energy grids which would make it impossible for anyone else to use this energy better then bitcoin does; You ignore aluminum melting, data centers, normal households, heating etc. You ignore that energy subsidies exist to support people and are missused by bitcoin miners.

You claim bitcoin can store money, which it can do as efficiency as any other commodity out there: gold, shares, a normal bank account;

You claim bitcoin can be used to transfer money easily while ignoring that bitcoin itself has this benefit as every other exchange has; It is highly volatile, everything but userfriendly and is uncontrolled; We have a controlled money system not for the fun of it but because the rich people and unfair people tend to move money around uncontrolled; This costs you and me potentially money if tomorrow everyone would move to an anonymouse currency.

You can transfer money around the world by western union, paypal, amazon/google giftcards, gift cards, my credit card can buy in every currency; I have bought money from iran, usa, spain, japan without any issues.

And you ignore the basic fact, that bitcoin HAS TO BE MINED to be working. It HAS To BE distributed to be working. If only countries with cheap electricity are mining or a majority becomes real, it breaks; It breaks if someone is no longer motivated by earning enough bitcoins through mining as you can't do any transaction any more. The energy price of global economys is not connected to the energy price of bitcoin directly. People will pay the transaction fee as long as they want to be able to do anything with their bitcoins.

EU subsidies where not meant to motivate too many people to make energy out of crops; Thats the exact point i was making about subsidies and energy prices. How can you not see this?
That's not how prosecuters work in the US. Their goal is to win the case, not make the "right" decision. They'll spin evidence as hard as they can against the accused.
Well, since web apps are competing with native desktop apps, they're also starting to compete on the associated complexity.

Like in the 90ies when everyone had their own desktop GUI library (remember the distinctive Borland look?) and fluffernutter libraries and then it boiled down to a few major ones, the same thing is happening in the web frontend.

And since there's no good distinction between "simple web stuff like actual pages" and "full-blown web apps", the tooling is the same, and the complexity bleeds into everything.

…yep, no having your cake and eating it.

Funnily enough, the few things that might survive the test of time and be there in 2030 or 2040 might already exist today — it might just be impossible to identify them.
I don't quite get the frustration.

Learn one set of tools really well. Make sure it's here to stay, mature, and has a large community. My fav is Nextjs, but it could be anything. Make sure it comes with everything you need, including a CLI to set up your project. Stay as close as possible to what the stack gives you. Don't build on top of it, unless you're willing to upgrade constantly. Avoid configuring your build system yourself, unless the framework gives you clearly defined escape hatches. (Like Next does.)

Learn the underlying fundamentals. Learn about algos and data structures. That will be relevant forever.

Most importantly, ignore these "20 state management libraries you should learn in 2021" articles. They are poison. And nobody cares.

That wasn't the point. I tend to believe that solutions should be available, and that their availability helps people learn, more so than it hinders. I suggested a paid download for two reasons: because it could potentially provide a minor barrier to prevent people from unthinkingly looking up a solution, and because it supports the presentation of detailed, worked solutions rather than just a simple answer key. The cost is one potential means (and not the only one), not an end unto itself.
> Oh and while you're at it, install also Yarn

Both NPM and Yarn come bundled with recent Node versions, so hopefully you only need to install one thing (Node).

That being said, having multiple package managers must be confusing to people who haven't spent entirely too much time configuring front-end projects.

It seems that a couple of security researchers from this community felt that Signal's implementation of a TLS-in-TLS proxy to allow its use in censored Iran didn't live up to their standards (it can be detected by censors and blocked). However, after Signal rejected this issue, they turned toxic and were prevented from posting anymore [1].

The above post is their reaction, which feels more like them lashing out rather than attempting to uphold the greater values of the anti-censorship community. I feel that it doesn't benefit anyone that they behaved this way, choosing to attack the Signal team and the reporter of the article below, rather than resolving the issue productively while allowing the community to continue focusing on their mission.

I don't mean to argue, but I believe github's account system with 2FA should be more than secure enough. If it's not, then why even start a bbs there? Why not just use a signed & encrypted email chain? Seems trivial, especially for what wants to appear to be security professionals.

Writing for clarity is also something I first came in contact with when learning English as a foreign language.

It's interesting, there is also a cultural aspect to the language. Anglo-saxon cultures of schooling and work environments value clarity and generally consider language 'embellishment' as adding friction or just plain wrong.

I distinctly remember being in English classes (at a Language institute outside normal curriculum) and learning how to structure an essay or how to structure a letter and thinking to myself why on Earth am I learning about literature pieces in my mother tongue without first covering this basic soft skill?

Perhaps I am generallizing but most Romanic languages seem to have a cultural influence from the medieval Francophone 'cathedra' university, with a school of thought, which now to me, seems to overvalue 'sounding smart' and embellishing instead of getting your message across.
