Are you an employee? Or, speaking generally here to a company this community commonly roots for?

I guess either way. What’s your beef with them experimenting to try new and wild ideas?

Edit:

> (yes, I'm an employee)

If true, wow. If not, troll…

Publicly trashing another co-workers work/team is in poor taste, immature, and creates a hostile work environment — if you agree or not with the tech or direction. I hope you get what’s coming to you. Classic Dev God ego and suggest maybe disconnecting online a bit and apologizing to them. I can’t imagine Cloudflare’s hiring team likes to see this type of hostile banter allowed.
Evergrande: What Happens Next?
Oh, sure, but my point isn't about implementation complexity, it's about network architecture.

SLAAC doesn't work the way DHCP works. Do you have an IPAM tool that assigns addresses? Do you have a VMM/private cloud where addresses are in a database and you set up firewall rules? Do you have a guest wifi network where you assign a quarantine IP with a short lease and then a real IP once they authenticate? None of that works with SLAAC.

Especially if you have an existing IPv4 network and are rolling out dual-stack and have no interest in breaking IPv4, adding IPv6 via SLAAC is hardly a matter of adding another column in your schema. It's an architectural change.

Again, maybe that change is good, but that's the chore - not implementing the protocol (which is basically ip link | sed | ip addr add).

For privacy addresses, if you were considering implementing IPv6 before they were widespread, you'd have to figure out a way to keep from leaking them. The obvious approach is NAT, but that's effectively not an option. So you decide not to make IPv6 available to clients, only servers that already have fixed IPv4 addresses and don't roam. Or you do manual (non-SLAAC, non-DHCPv6 because that wasn't an option) configuration. Once they became available and common in people's clients, sure, but that means we didn't have "20 years" for people to offer IPv6 on guest wifi networks, we had a lot less.

Same with NATs. Implementing "not using a NAT" is absolutely trivial; you just... don't. Redesigning your network architecture not to use one, however meritorious it may be, is a massive task.

Chrome has an API that allows you to save to files without a new download every time. They made a pretty nice library that wraps that API on Chrome and it gracefully degrades on other browsers.

I haven't read The Embedded Entrepreneur yet, but I can recommend "Zero to Sold" by Arvid. (Zero to Sold isn't specifically "audience first", but TEE is).

FWIW, apart from his books, he also does a lot to encourage and promote other founders. He seems like a decent guy.

I was surprised you could just store the NFT payload in a Dropbox folder... and also swap out the contents whenever you want.

Yes. Putting an app in a browser has solved tens of problems and introduced a hundred new ones. At some point you start to wonder if a plain old native app wouldn't work much better that an uncontrollably growing stack of technologies, some ow which designed for something completely different than what we're trying to accomplish.

IMO (which I think is not a majority opinion, mind you) the biggest benefit of a code of conduct is to prevent the person being disciplined from saying "oh I'm sorry I didn't know" and getting a pass. There are (rarely) times a first offense warrants a harsh punishment.
> Seems a little ironic to use unprofessional language in this situation.

It's not ironic. Forceful language (and rather tame still) is not just as bad as a 'joke'. The offence was not at the unprofessionalism of the joke, but at the contents of the joke. That is what fuelled a discussion.

Removing the line from the CoC also was not a response to the joke. It was a response to the ensuing discussion about the joke.

Talking about proportionality as if the change was brought because of the joke is as questioning the proportionality of WW I to the death of archduke Franz Ferdinand.

The 'verdict' as you call it, does not go into detail about the contents of the joke, because it was irrelevant to the reason of why they made a change. It could have easily been a different joke.

Cloudflare is a major force in centralizing the actual internet on itself (the one free CDN/anti-DDoS for everyone who's not a giant themselves, huh, what could possibly go wrong). Are they attaching themselves to this coin crap in order to "decentralization-wash" their public image? They have to know that people know how fraudulent and awful the whole cryptocurrency space is, right?
We just had a talk from our master about how points are not days. Every developer ignored him and treated it as days because that was the signal. Management just made it official. Jira Align is rolled out and points are days. The master just threw up his hands and took his promotion under great duress.

Before that the master really tried to have meaningful retros. Now we type some things in a doc, everyone is silent, and the master has dropped any mention of follow up or takeaways.

...and this is a company with a good culture! I have done this dance at places where the culture was not good. As a person renowned in my circle for technical ability and productivity this was the only place where I couldn't get anything done and was removed from the account by the manager. Relief.
No one really cared about GCC until Sun decided to split UNIX in user and developer editions, quickly followed by other vendors.
IMHO, these days browser should just ship popular libraries, e.g. sqlite, with browser, or download them once and cache them permanently, until never version is released. Think like «Linux distribution», but for web/wasm.
> it isn't open source yet

I've heard that claim so many times, yet very few startups hold their promise to open the source code. Especially for something branded as a secure messenger, how to give it any credibility without being able to inspect/audit the source?

> you can stop using Android or Apple phone i think

I use deblobbed android without google services -> replicant.us

> you can find "Loki Messenger" (old name of Session ) with two "spyware" inside too

I pointed it out in another comment so i'm aware. However these trackers have been removed in the meantime, and Session is actually free software which you can build from source.

> i trust the very skilled person

Good to see they've got a competent cryptographer, however competent cryptographers does not necessarily make a successful and secure decentralized messenger. See also Wire who had serious crypto and promises to open source everything, but to my knowledge the server side was never released, and Wire more or less failed as yet-another encrypted centralized messenger like Signal. Or GNU/Net who also has some solid research and practical applications [0], yet didn't grow so much over the years.

> Session is just another textsecure implementation

In fact not. It's certainly a TextSecure fork, but the only TextSecure implementation left is silence.im, whose maintainer is an employee of La Quadrature du Net from what i understand. But being SMS-based, silence.im leaks a lot of metadata (unique identifiers + timestamps).

And contrary to other TextSecure forks (like Signal), Session does not rely on a centralized infrastructure or sketchy "secure enclaves". Like i said i'm very critical of relying on a blockchain at all, but i have to admit Session looks (from a quick look) like a serious project.

Your statement is tribal and devoid of any facts. It is not mass media, it’s the medical community that has stated and proved the effectiveness of masks. They are not a cure or fool proof but they are quite effective at slowing or stopping transmission depending on the mask type.
Is there a better brand for an "everyday" mustard in that style?
With almost 20,000 police departments in the US, no national law, and inconsistent state laws regarding the recording of police violence there is always going to be data quality issues. There are dedicated people combing through local news reports around the US trying to document police violence, but it's a nearly impossible task without a strong national law requiring police departments to inform the justice department every time they discharge a weapon.

If you decry using estimated police death information and believe the problem isn't this bad you should join anti-police activists in demanding a national database of police violence. If you believe the numbers will show police violence isn't a problem then call for action to collect the information properly.

How MetaWMS boost your Cycle Counting workflows with ERP?
I a woman complains about groping at a workplace and it is anything but accidental, it doesn't matter what "kind" of groping it is! It creates a hostile environment in the workplace. Sure, in this incident after the complain the person was fired. What about the hundreds of times he had done something like this and the woman because of comments like yours had NOT filed a complaint?

For your listen to me argument just "NO". It doesn't matter what your straw man feminist says, at a workplace it is NOT ok to say "you need to listen to me because I'm a man". It is also not ok to say "you need to listen to me because I'm a woman"
In reality they turn into work assigners - individual A in team C has no stories to groom - let's give them some stories from Epic D which has more story points per developer.

Increasingly, the word and concept of “meritocracy” is seen as racist, since it denies due compensation for past and present institutional racism. Meritocracy is also seen as misogynist, following the same reasoning.

Because 'code is law' is a terrible expression to begin with. Law can be expressed with code, but law is ultimately a construct of human consensus. In the case of the DAO hack, the human consensus forked away from the bugs in the code.
> How is that different to traditional finance?

There are a lot more backstops. Traditional finance can have this problem, but we can install human systems to limit the blast radius of things. As you say, it is traditional finance on steroids.

Crypto enthusiasts seem to think it is the opposite. People tell me that defi loans are "zero risk" because of the automatic collateral systems and I just laugh and laugh.
Yes, it's a joke. Or at least the person who submitted that (hmdne) is clearly trolling (you can tell from their comments in the original thread).

But the PR was still accepted in any case, so it looks like it went over the heads of the trollees.

Don’t forget about risk vs return. Stocks generally do well with inflation as well, assuming they have pricing power and some earnings growth. The problem today is that the fed has ignored inflation by using under-weighted statistics and manipulated rates to an artificially low level. This has created an imbalance that might snap (and may be starting to snap now) which creates a shock to currently bubble equities.

> 1) Because electricity costs money

not to an extent that really matters to a home user. let's say you actually let your cpu draw 250W 24/7. average US consumer electricity rate is ~$0.13/kWh. that would add ~$23 to your monthly electricity bill. certainly a lot for a single component, but not likely to matter to the sort of person who would buy a high end cpu in the first place. if you could get the same performance using 100W, you would only save about $14 each month. and of course most people don't max out their cpu 24/7, so the actual savings would be even less.

> require you to have a gene therapy

Would you prefer they require basic science education instead so that you can be less misinformed?

In my observation, so many engineers think that because they get paid a lot for being smart developers they are actually just smarter than everyone, and that other fields are simple things that they can master from a weekend of web surfing. It’s probably an extension of the general American puritanical belief that the rich are rich because they are simply better people who have been rewarded by grace. In this demographic, the senior engineers have simply had more time to build themselves up in their own minds.
There's a mechanism for putting that right

Statistics is another area where solid understanding of a few very basic concepts gets you far in a practical sense.
Is this Cloudflare looking to become the trusted off-chain provider? With decentralization, there’s no entrenched behemoths pulling revenue from the system by virtue of size, but someone sure can hang off to the side and solve all the problems of linking decentralized systems to the rest of the world, and becoming the gateway to and from web3.

Heck, one possible outcome is blockchains become free databases for the entrenched providers, paid for with customer bandwidth and power.

Honestly I think something like this is what will happen; we saw the original decentralized web1.0 as democratizing access to information, but in reality economies of scale have created Facebook and Google - the complete opposite. No reason to suspect this isn’t just the way of things.

Some high performers deliberately behave like assholes just to make a point that they are so skilled that people respect them despite their behaviors. It's a psychological thing.

At a first glance this seems to be an api written in Java using Spring Boot in a reactive style with Webflux. The api wraps the official Java Kafka client and some other libraries.

I am a strong believer in PWAs. I think most of the apps I use could be PWAs without a problem. I really don't get why Apple isn't developing them for MacOS, since I've never really used the app-store on MacOS and in comparison to iOS a lot of the apps on my Mac are productivity apps that are basically electron-apps. I think some basic PWA functionality on the desktop would be more interesting for me than more advanced PWAs for ios.

Masking Children Is an Ineffective Policy and Not Supported by Research or Data
Isn't it at the consumer's discretion if they're going to watch Squid Game on Netflix? Is the firm blinded by greed and decided to take advantage of the sudden surge in the platform?
Amusing as the founder then would be outright saying he knows what criminal activity has been going on and exactly who is up to it ... and is willing to use that info if he see fit.

That would seem to present all sorts of risks for his users, and himself, legal and otherwise.
What about an explicit threat of violence?

If someone who is not the police does that, we generally consider them "violent" and (ironically?) support police violence against them. Like if someone points a gun at someone (an explicit(?) threat of violence, but not yet violence itself?), if the police shoot them, people consider that a justified violent response to violence.

Then we can ask if, say, imprisoning someone is "violence" on it's own -- again, if someone that wasn't the police kidnapped you and locked you in the basement, we'd probably consider it a violent act, even if they didn't have to punch you to get you into the basement?

I think it's interesting to talk about because I think what's violent and not is not as clearcut as we sometimes assume, and is worth interrogating. (I don't mean to suggest that anything anyone finds emotionally uncomfortable is "violence" either... there is lots going on culturally around "violence" these days...)

Still, regardless, I think it's probably true that the majority of policing hours are not spent in the active use of violence (although some are spent preparing for use of violence, or looking for opportunity to use violence), and also, that the majority of times that are use of violence are against people who were not being violent.

Meh. GME didn't stop trading because some fund had shorted the shares. They stopped trading because people couldn't be sure firms like Robin Hood would be good for the money. No one was prepared to go to bat and procure millions of dollars in meme-stocks for them, then be on the hook when those millions in dollars didn't show up.

And everyone whined and whined and whined about "different rules for hedge funds!!!" Of course the big players pay the big fees to put their millions of dollars on the exchange directly, and have to do many things to limit the exchange's risk, like comply with rules and get audited and post collateral — oh, hey, that's what Robinhood didn't have enough of to execute your trade; maybe we're playing by the same rules after all...

Alt-F2 on KDE brings up krunner - a small text input floating dialog in which you could type, say, 8 * 9 , and be gifted the value 72. No spam accompanies this result.

Alternatively if I type 'hacker', I shall be shown the three windows I currently have open, along with the 7 bookmarks, that match that string.

Otherwise it's a handy shortcut to launch any application I know is installed on the local host.

I believe it's consistently been providing this service for more than twenty years.

Compare ctrl-escape on Microsoft Windows, which should offer much the same experience.

Often while using Microsoft Windows I am trying to find a way back to a fleeting pop-up that graced a corner of my screen before I could fully read or act upon it. This invariably fails to provide a sensible result. For example, type 'update' if you wish to search for, but certainly not find, the source of the various noisy 'Windows Update' notifications. Prepare thyself for disappointment.*
