Narcosis is nothing to trifle with. After a particularly bad experience at 150ft on air, I understand why some agencies advocate for a maximum equivalent narcotic depth* of 100ft.

*For the non-divers out there, it’s possible substitute a less narcotic gas - typically helium but not always - for a portion of the narcotic gas in a mixture. Equivalent narcotic depth (END) is a way to equate a mixture’s narcotic effect to that of air at a given depth.

The stupid scrapers we're talking about are major social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

At this point I think it's more about unequal power than it has anything to do with developer laziness. Facebook and Twitter can tell others to add whatever stupid tags they demand, and people will comply. They can even call it a standard, and people will readily acknowledge it as such. Why change the status quo when you have the upper hand?
I'll bite. Here are some things you can currently do with blockchains/crypto currencies that are neither fraud nor scamming people:

- Earn yield on stablecoins or cryptoassets by providing liquidity on an automated market maker. The yield comes from trading fees that are redistributed to liquidity providers (i.e. no one is getting defrauded).

- Earn more yield using a yield optimization service such as yEarn

- Use your cryptocurrency as a collateral to take out a loan for half its value with Alchemix. The collateral is invested in yEarn and the yield received slowly pays back the loan.

- Use an insurance protocol to take out a cover on the money you have put in either of the above mentioned protocol to protect them in case of a hack

- Manage an entire organization (DAO) and its payroll, where you currency serves as both voting rights for the strategic decision of the organization and as a way to reward contributors without having to deal with the headache of local currencies.

- Mobilize thousands people around the world to act as arbitrators to resolve an ongoing dispute (Kleros)

- Store files in cloud service built on top of a decentralized and censorship resistant way (Filecoin)

- Sell unused or underutilised cloud resources (iExec)

I know people here are skeptical of crypto, and it's fine. Maybe it won't change the world. Maybe the bubble will pop. But even then, I find it hard to not be at least a little bit intellectually excited by the new forms of organizations and new financial models that are emerging out of the space.

Also, as by disaster I assume you are referencing the ecological costs of Bitcoin, most of current blockchains have moved or are moving towards a proof of stake model that is much more environmentally friendly. With Avalanche, for instance, developed by Emin Gun Sirer at Cornell you can still run a node on a Raspberry Pi.
What's everyone's opinion on simply forcing users of IE11 to upgrade / use a different browser?

I understand that one should aim for a certain level of backward compatibility, but when does the time come to drop IE11 support for good?

Especially as a smaller webdev-shop, how would one even come up with the resources to maintain that level of compatibility? Eventually there is a trade-off where one may end up losing a (hopefully reasonably small) percentage of customers in exchange for focusing on the experience of those customers who are more up to date, but it's a tricky decision to make.

Be really interesting to understand when this actually get's executed

<script type="module">

module has defer semantics by default i.e. it gets executed after the document has finished parsed, and I can't find anything in the WHATWG spec to suggest it's different for inline scripts

Maybe inline scripts ignore module, as they do defer and async

How to Section Your HTML
Bitcoin and other crypto/alt currencies are so interesting to me. Partly because I do not understand them:

If I mow your lawn and you pay me in the locally accepted fiat then I can use that fiat to buy hotdogs and fuel for my lawn mower because the gas station itself will accept that fiat.

The gas station will accept that fiat because its vendors, creditors, and employees also accept it. And the chain goes on.

If however I mow your lawn and you pay me in bitcoin I'll need to find a gas station that accepts it. Many likely exist. But, how many of their vendors, creditors, and employees also accept it? Some, no doubt, but I'd wager not all would.

So, even though these currencies no doubt represent massive potential they're still somewhat limited in terms of adoption. Obviously this is becoming less true over time which I think is a good thing - competition isn't something fiat currencies tend to have to deal with, but they sure could use it.

My real misunderstanding is 'why' people accept these currencies in the first place. In other words - people accept a United States dollar because it is worth one United States dollar. However, it seems that most people accept bitcoin (or bitcoin fragments) not because they are worth some percentage of bitcoin but exactly because they are worth some amount of United States dollars. Is that true? Is the primary reason that bitcoin has become more popular that an investor can spend 10,000 fiat on it - wait a year - and then extract 15,000 fiat from it?
Dating apps and websites depend on proprietary technology, network effects, economies of scale, and branding in order to lead. As such, they are very prone to becoming monopolies, and a market leader wouldn't be likely to use someone else's SaaS app. I'm just not sure there is the demand for 1000 semi-large dating apps unless tech isolationism somehow becomes the norm, and it that happens then it would include SaaS isolationism.

Fair enough. It is just a word preventing people from turning us into soylent green willy-nilly.

To me there's no contradiction.

There are knows: We have shared lucid experiences and we can share contemplations of such.

As a German, I have to say, you're very well summarizing the current state of affairs and my own impressions. Very realistic and matter of fact - very German ;)

The US is not a role model for Germany by any standards. But of course it can very well serve as a source of inspiration just like many other cultures and countries. Sadly, precisely this is a weakness of current policitcal elite.

It's painful how deliberately they are ignoring advances in drug legislation f.x.. We have many innovative projects just around the corner (Portugal, Switzerland, Netherlands to name some). Instead policitcal affairs are driven by dogmatism and ignorance. And that's precisely the reason for many issues regarding digitalization as well.
Let me start by saying I don't feel like I fully understand what happened here but this thing makes me think.

That was a fun presentation - I now want a tool which does that for me, but does it for everything: documents on my computer, files saved to cloud storage, lists written in notebooks, etc.

I started working on a personal project a couple of weeks ago that might, one day, become something that could be a nice little pension if enough people paid to use it. As I was reading through the article I started to wonder: how could I pitch this to people in just a couple of sentences?

It was an interesting exercise - the best I've managed to come up with is: "My product is a browser-based, collaborative tool for creating canvas animations, infographics and videos. It is NOT an Adobe Animator or After Effects clone, but those programs are an inspiration for the things I want my tool to be able to do."
Related to this, alpha channels can be very useful in writing a single colour that appears as different colours against known dark and light colours. For example, see the mention of #8888 in https://chrismorgan.info/blog/dark-theme-implementation/, where that #8888 becomes effectively #bfbfbf against white, and #484848 against black.
>diabetic condition that led to his frequent hospitalization in recent years

What I don't realize - he is obviously brilliant, so controlling diabetics via insulin shots should not be hard. Ketoacidosis usually takes at least a day or two of uncontrolled blood glucose (13+ mmol/l), he'd likely feel the symptoms well enough - thirst, fatigue. As the article explains, he deeply cared about medical conditions of others. Ketoacidosis would be a horrible way to go for such a brilliant hacker.
There are always constraints and preferences and whatnot. Do you have time to pick up the can? Do you care about the garbage on the street? And this will result in an action be somehow combining all those bits and pieces. Could be perfectly deterministic but could as well have an element of randomness, for example you care enough to pick up the can four out of five times if no other constraints prevent you from doing so. But whether there is some deterministic logic behind your decision or whether your brain just flipped a coin or a combination of both, there is no deep mystery here, just a very complex system that is hard to predict.

No, that's not the problem. Remember, developers are a minority, users are the majority, so making things work well for users takes priority over making things work well for developers. When functionality that's useful for webapps is misused for websites where it has no place and where it breaks the user experience, the only way to improve things for users is to make things harder for developers.

Today we're "officially" launching something that we worked on for the past few years.

The real motivation for this project comes from a simple frustration that it's not easy to make living out of developing your hobby open source software, even though it's being used by thousands of companies and brings them significant value. The only accessible way to make living from your software is by selling it as SaaS, which in turn is still overly complicated. We believe there is a better way and today we'd like to show it to you.

I'm looking forward to hear what you think.

A few years back, I had a co-worker that was hostile to me. I won't go into the details why there's that hostility, but what happened was this:

- In the middle of a (chat) conversation that was going nowhere about a certain issue, he told me that I'm "difficult to talk to."

- I replied, "I can say the same thing to you."

This co-worker then complained to management, that I was being a bully and disrespectful. I provided the chat logs showing that the initial statement ("I'm difficult to talk to") was unprovoked, and I was civil all throughout our chat.

But this experience led me to wonder if there are legal concepts that I could have invoked in my defense.

The article mentions someone punching in the face.

What if this is the scenario: A punches B in the face. B punches A, as retribution. The physical and emotional damage to both parties are equal in nature. But A sues B for assault.

Will the case be dismissed? on what legal grounds? What are the applicable legal principles?

You can't win this by being reactive. It's the same dynamic as with terrorism. No government can keep terrorism under control, if it just responds to terrorist attacks. You need special task force which infiltrates and basically terrorize terrorists, so that they don`t have time and resources to plan for new attacks. Same with mining, if all miners have to care about is just how to bypass your heuristics, they will always outnumber and outsmart you, but if they will also have to spend time to constantly patch their own code to keep blockchain and mining pools running, meanwhile maintaining consensus that mining shouldn't be dropped all together, to avoid constant proactive attacks on network, only then you stand a chance.

> Complexity never comes for free.

A platitude, thanks.

> Running a bunch of services creates all sort of failure modes unrelated to the tests you are running and requires maintenance in the long term.

Yes, and mocks are not free either -- the more complex the backend system you're dealing with, the more complex your mock of it must be, and that code will be brittle. I specifically said in the case where backing software is simple/easy to spin up, then it makes sense to spin it up. How much of Redis are you going to re-implement to get a mock with good parity that is in the end still missing the quirks of real redis?

> Adding docker to it only increases the overall complexity.

We are literally discussing a project that runs temporary isolated postgres with an extremely simple single executable experience. It's case-dependent but all you need is a different query string. It's not that hard -- if you think it's that hard to spin up a redis/postgres container on your machine in 2021 then I don't know what to tell you, a lot of things are going to be hard for you.

And again, what you want to do instead is write an approximation of postgres in your codebase that will never run anywhere else -- this kind of thing is only easy if it's done for you. As soon as you have a non-trivial interface (let's say one that would do a JOIN in production but you've mocked locally) then you're going to have a hard time writing that mock and maintaining it.

> There are good reasons for doing unit and functional testing with mocks.

Did I say there weren't? You've eviscerated the strawman you made.

Let me restate -- if you're mocking function calls/point-in-time calls with what they're supposed to return then that's fine. However, if you're maintaining a fake approximation of a redis server in your code that isn't a library (i.e. written by someone else), then that is stupid. Just run redis (even without a container). If you find it difficult to run a single extremely easy to administer (in the case of redis) external process (dockerized or not) in your tests, then I don't know what to tell you -- I just hope we never work together.

IMHO totally depends on what you are doing and who your users are. Generally going for graceful degradation should keep a lot of stuff usable for outdated browsers, even if not full fidelity/pretty, and that often should be enough. If you have lots of IE11 users for whatever reason (i.e. I believe in some countries rates are a lot higher) it might be worth the effort to make it better for them. If you ship an internal app for a company that rolls out a newer standard browser everywhere, target that.

I guess that should read most servers? I'm not much of a backend dev, but every default I've seen has included the charset in the headers.

On a site by site basis it seems that you really can get rid of it. I've only tested my own sites offline in various browsers and they work fine without the meta tag.

One example of a site that doesn't use it is YouTube, and I figured that can't be an accident.
Mobile network T&Cs, oversubscription, and asymmetric connections prevent hosting on mobile devices more than any limitations of the OS. Mobile devices themselves also don't make great web servers because their scheduling and power management is tuned for battery life and not responsiveness to a random distribution of incoming network requests. Even if you had some fully unlocked Linux system on a phone it would still make a crappy web server. You'd be a lot better off with a Raspberry Pi with an LTE modem but you'd quickly run into problems on the mobile network side.
A very insightful and thought-provoking summary of the traditions and methods of legal reasoning. Makes you realise how law, philosophy, logic, policy, societal traditions are tightly integrated in what we assume to be "independent" judicial systems. There's some spirit and philosophy behind the text of the law, there is morality involved with each particular act of the suspected person, and matching a particular case to a particular rule is a hard problem.
