I worked on a large web scraper for several years and JavaScript almost never needs to be executed. The only times I've had were to extract obfuscated links that are revealed by some bit twiddling code, specific to each request, and this was achievable by forking out to deno.
The only reason people like bitcoin is because of its decentralizness (yes im aware there are big caveats on that in reality)

If you're ok trusting a specific entity, might as well just set up a mysql server.

If you dont want to trust a central entity but are still ok with it existing as potential single point of failure, use chaum style digi-cash https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiCash

So if you're ok with this weird centralized on space x solution, you should be ok with a lot of other semi-centralized designs that solve all the same problems only better.
Fair enough, KeepassXC does have an official browser plugin, at least for desktop. Never use them myself, separating responsibilities.

Which is more likely. If your employer sets something like this up - will they use it to calculate a productivity score and use that for lay offs? Seems rather probable to me.

I don’t know why you would limit the discussion to #1 when #2 is the only part that is really relevant to the topic at hand.

Assertion 1 is offered as evidence that TT wouldn’t need to actively suppress trans content for it to be unpopular. Perhaps that was unconvincing. I’d say you’re arguing a lot about specifics of terms to weasel out of accepting that some people don’t like trans people. The language argument is particularly weak in the way that arguments about word usage usually are. It is in fact quite common to use the language of “existence” when discussing gender/sex/orientation identity. Whether the physically don’t exist in a country, don’t exist as lgbt people, or don’t count as people at all: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/prominent-leader-chechnya-sa...

Some people would actually murder other people because they say they are trans: https://www.hrc.org/resources/fatal-violence-against-the-tra...
They're also the people least likely to want to use this kind of setup in my experience.

My company has a remote VSCode setup not that dissimilar from this setup. Big C++ codebase. Many engineers love it, even some of the "old timers." Our interns can be productive on day one and it brings a lot of productivity to not have to worry about caring for your dev environment.

But there are plenty of people who really just want to SSH into a beefy desktop (or directly edit on that desktop) and use their vim/emacs setups. These are the people who know how the whole build stack works, can debug the vscode/codespace magic, and can do amazing things not available in the VSCode plugin library.

So it's good to be able to do both. Allow power users to use their own tools, but don't require everyone to be a power user to sit down and write some business logic. Give nice rails to ride but don't require them.
Really cool. I'm interested in writing a quick course/tutorial on the website to teach something.

Yeah banking is stuck in decade old technology in north america. Heck I'd settle for TOTP (or any 2FA in some cases) or getting rid of those harmful security images.
I have done this. I hand wrote a letter, figured out how to match what was printed to the colour of the pen after it dried, and then just hand wrote in the names. I used blue so that it looked like it was handwritten.
There is a subtle difference though, in that imposter syndrome exists based on an individuals beliefs, which could be altered by reading about it regardless of whether or not that thought process is rational. So it could be reality created by a fallacy in a way.

That being said it was probably just a joke and now we’ve both overanalyzed it lol

I'm curious to know if this statement is true. Most experienced developers these days have a regular desk and a chair where they like to code and focus. How prevalent is the move-and-code scenario?
As someone who currently plays League of Legends, my question is: What's the difference between this service and using op.gg (they have a client similar to yours) and porofesor? As far as I know, op.gg doesn't have any freemium features.

Thing is, most of American culture is only interested in literacy/literature as minimally as possible, and this has been the case since before social media came on the scene. As far as back as I remember, people get defensive/offended if you use too many "big words".
Something can be unethical and profitable at the same time.
I don't know, for me this doesn't look enough like C (or anything familiar).

I would love a language like C# or Python where you could just put in preconditions using the expression syntax of the language, and it would try to prove it. If it can't prove it, it might ask for more facts, give a warning, or add a runtime assertion. As far as I know the only language that does this was the experimental Spec#.

I would even go further and have complex preconditions as part of the types, so you could have say a Person with field "age" < 18 is of type Minor. (I know this is tricky. The objects would be immutable, or you'd only be able to specify Person|Minor and only narrow it with an assertion, for example). Nim has something a little bit in this direction with distinct types, and integer range types.
Context is hugely important, and equally important is not to get sucked in by the HN echo chamber - that is, consider the MS of _now_ as opposed to that of 15 years ago which HN likes to bash (and give a free pass to other companies doing nefarious things). The FB example is considering the FB of _now_ and not 15 years ago.

In terms of the biggest companies in the sector, MS has been doing much more for developers and developer productivity than others. At the same time it's not a monolith and so you should not expect boyscout behavior either.

Privacy is a concern, and the onus is on you the user to ensure that you remain in control of your data. When using a service (any service), the answer is to always be ready to bail at a moment's notice. That means using source control and not tying yourself to a specific ecosystem.
> And if the economic effort that had been spent trying to corrupt terrestrial nodes is instead directed to ever-more-cost-efficient planet-leaving tech - that's a win, too!

By that same argument, wouldn’t Bitcoin currently be directing economic effort towards producing electricity and computer hardware as fast and cheaply as possible?
In this specific context it's about someone sending a sexual message to a minor. There's nothing inhuman about not doing that, and excusing it as something all straight men do when around women is bizarre.

in the US college loans are backed by the federal government so there's minimal risk to the lender, that's why the interest rate is low. Remove the federal guarantee and they can be dischargeable in bankruptcy. However, then the interest rates go sky high (like credit card rate high) because now all the risk of the loan is being taken on by the lender with no federal backstop.
Agreed.

That said, I would argue that this specific practice will become more ethical over time (as the arbitrage opportunity disappears). Once customers are aware of the practice, the trust difference fades, and the deception goes away. 10 years from now, this practice will be equivalent to claiming "Famous Fishtoaster's has the best fish toast in the world": it's a lie, but one that all parties know is false so no one is being deceived. Just like no one really believes personalized text in an email implies that that email was handwritten anymore, no one will believe these videos are personalized and the problem goes away.

But yeah, it will be a societal cost: one less thing we can trust. Just like "photos don't lie" went out the window with widespread photoshopping, so will trust in personalized videos.
It seems to be a frequent toss-up between Arnault, Musk, and Bezos. There seems to be no end to the articles intermittently announcing that one or the other has taken first place.
If you're looking for a relatively low-cost option for "always correct" wall clocks, Primex radio clocks are popular enough that they are very cheap used on eBay, and if you live in a city there is a decent chance there is a GPS-disciplined Primex transmitter within receiving range (hospitals, schools commonly have them, you can check with an SDR). Or for a standalone solution, the sadly discontinued Primex SNS series of digital and analog wall clocks are just WiFi NTP clients. Supply is becoming limited since they were discontinued but they still run fairly cheap used. Initial setup (WiFi credentials, NTP server, etc) is slightly eccentric but can be done with tools available online.

The analog wall clocks are battery powered and with the default config of re-sync every 3 days, the batteries last years.
> I hate setting my AC below 78, that's freezing, but I have to because of improperly sized AC units, poor HVAC installation, etc.

How do those influence where you have to set the thermostat?

But indeed, 25 - 25.5 degrees Celsius is just about the most comfortable temperature (summer or winter).
Rich is an overloaded term. For this context, to me, rich means you can live the lifestyle of your choosing without having to be employed in any capacity.

The "lifestyle of your choosing" just scales up and down with your own desires and resources.
I frequently hear that, but in practically every other profession doing the exact same thing for 20 years is still valued. And the underlying reality is you can’t do the exact same thing for 12 years in the computer field. Experience is all the little edge cases that cropped up over time.

There are a lot of not-sexy but highly impacting skills in systems programming.

For example, the most productive person I've ever met, is a master of shell script, all the various shell tools (with obscure flags and usage modes), has deep knowledge in the use and application of makefiles, is a perl wizard and knows lots of tricks for virtualizing/replicating things in non-obvious ways.

When this person wants to automate a task, he can do it immediately, without having to think about 'how do I xxx'. It just flows from his fingertips because he knows all of these 'basic' things. Since so many things in SW are automatable, this gives him a non-linear advantage against nearly all his peers. He can dedicate 50% of his time building tools that act like a multiplier for the 50% of his production work and gets 500% done.

I think the point is that if you’ve reached that square, there’s absolutely nothing special or interesting about that rock, and the only reason someone might have thought it’s a meteorite (and even be looking at the chart in the first place) is because they saw it fall.
FIRE is exactly that. It is living like a poor person on a well off person income and banking the difference to retire early.

For example, my very nice apartment in NYC costs me about $4500/mo. I get a 35-40 minutes commute to my office door to door. I have a co-worker who lives in PA. His one way commute is 2h-3h ( depending on a day ) one way but he pays only $1300 for his apartment and $1000/mo on the commute, making his cost $2300/mo. He says it is a great deal because he saving all that money and he is going to retire before me.

We also have a custodian. The custodian is paid much, much less than either of us. The custodian happens to live next to my co-worker. In fact, it was the custodian who told my co-worker about that place.

Because of how much an average American works, including my co-worker, life of my coworker pretty much matches the life of our custodian.
I think people are so accustomed to having to trust each other that the notion of something being "trustless" is really foreign.

If you tried to live a trustless life, you couldn't get surgery, ride on a plane, get food from a grocery store, etc. - all of those things rely on implicit trust in other human beings. The whole of human society was built on trust!
If a bunch of people were sending me random non-meteorites all the time, I'm not gonna pay to send them back either. A case of a solicited one - "yes, that sounds like it could be one, please bring it in" - has a paper trail, on the other hand.

This whole chart is basically a way of them saying "stop sending us shit," which isn't in line with a malicious "please send us everything so we can keep the good stuff" motive.

New US Antitrust Bill Would Require Apple, Google to Allow 3rd-Party App Stores
For most business apps with power users, being able to present data in huge, fast-scrolling, filterable, customizable tables with colorful styling for elements that require attention (un-acked errors, etc.) elicits more joy from users than anything else.

A close second is when you enable performing actions on multi-selected elements.

"We could never do that with [competing product]."

If at any point in your product lifetime you discover, probably accidentally, that some users are habitually exporting data from the product and importing it into Excel, well, first, you should panic, and second, your product managers need to become best friends with those users. For every one of them, there are a dozen who wish they could do the same thing but can't figure out how, or feel like it's too much work, and an order of magnitude more who would have their minds blown if you put that capability in front of them.

well it's called the "American Dream" not the "American Entitlement". Dreams are dreams, you can make them come true sometimes and other times it doesn't happen. I think the "American Dream" is more about the possibility and not implying it's inevitable.
For now. I was seeing temps pretty close to 120 last year. It was dry, but who knows how the climate will change either the humidity or the high temps. 130+ doesn’t seem inconceivable and that gets pretty close to the limit.
Yes, I wondered if anyone was going to point that out. The lowest rate of personal income tax is relatively high, extremely low income tax threshold, sales tax is 25%. Compare this to the US where close to a majority of the population doesn't even pay income tax, it is quite different.

I don't think either system is better than the other. But talk to someone on $60k in the US and ask whether they want to pay 53% over the 22% they pay today. You get more public services in Sweden but these services are fully-funded by your tax revenue, and there is very little redistribution.
On the one hand, as a work of technology this is pretty neat, and I'm having fun with the fact that this even happened at all in a "wow the future really is now" sort of way, but holy lord who lives in heaven, HOW did this happen without anyone telling him off for this obviously horrible idea.
I was just re-watching "Westworld" recently, and there's a moment when Aaron Paul's character Caleb is having a telephone conversation with a sympathetic HR employee who tells him that he didn't get the job.

"Listen, Caleb. Your application was very strong. Unfortunately, our strategy group just hasn't found an opening for you."

Caleb sighs, and says nothing.

The HR employee gently asks, "Caleb, are you still with me?"

"Ok, thank you. Is there anything I should be working on to make myself a better candidate?"

"Like I said, your application was very strong. We just don't have anything that would be a great fit for you right now."

"If I'm not a good fit, is there a different shape I could squeeze myself into?"

There is a pause.

Caleb asks, "Hey, no offense but... are you human?"

"I'm Shaun," the voice says. "I can help you with all kinds of resources... anything else I can do for you today, Caleb?"

This feels a lot like that.

Hey yeah! and maybe we can hire a bunch of aging seniors to validate by hand, and as their health dwindles we can see diminishing returns.

Or the transaction fees can act as a pension in a fixed-size house of validator farms, which, since we're all getting collectively more stupid will on average itself have diminishing returns.

I'm not sure we really need to be taking these things seriously.
