The poster forgot the bunny quotes ("so-to-say") in «stereotypical "Nigerian scammer"», but added the term 'stereotypical' to lead you there, and the content was clear: certainly the poster did not express or suggest that «scammers are Nigerian». "Scotch tape" is from Minnesota, and the Scots are probably not that disturbed from the underlying idea of "Careful with that glue, Eugene! "Be a Scot", don't waste it". The Nigerian princes happened, terminology spawned, Nigeria has presumably not yet demanded that those scams should be called with Greek letters. Because we are not fools and we know losing one's head is not decapitation, and losing one's mind is not misplacing it on the wrong table. You know what's Eugene even if no-one's called Eugene, and if you don't you can get it's a cultural reference.

Go and look up the concept of money mules. Fraudsters don't need to setup bank accounts, they either buy bank accounts off people for £50, or convince people to move the money on their behalf by claiming they're doing an "accounting" job that involves large money movements, and the mule will get paid a percentage.

Most people don't realise what these accounts are used for, or just don't care because they're paid enough to look the other way. Then stolen funds are quickly moved across dozens of banks, with the money being split and re-combined with potentially legitimate money. Eventually the administrative overhead of tracking the money gets so great that no one bank can be bothered to do anything about, and the police aren't interested in actually investigating. The end result is that once the stolen money if a dozen or so bank accounts away from the victim, it's extremely unlikely that anyone is actually going to trace the money to that account, effectively making the money clean.

I like working in cafes every now and then. I'm quite conscious that there's an expectation to keep buying coffee / cakes. How much is enough?

Also after a while, I don't want another coffee, just want to sit in peace in the environment - but that's not an option really. I could just buy a coffee and sit next to it, but that seems wasteful and bizarre.
I started with webpack using create react app, I tried parcel, I tried esbuild. I tried parcel 2. I use esbuild. As a sole developer it takes no thought, and it still lets me do odd things pretty easily - like I have a particular process for dealing with odd cases in mdx files. Not a ringing endorsement or an exhaustive analysis. I'm just happy I don't have to spend time thinking about it. :-)

Anyone here tried this out yet?

This article would be fine if it didn't go out of it's way to straw-man the approach taken by what it calls "leftist consultants".
The idea that loser Hunter can sell "influence" into a White House that he has no role in, no influence in, and is actively kept from, is rank propaganda.

Hunter serves this government in no capacity, official or otherwise, and has no ability to "sell influence".

Ironically, anyone dealing with Hunter is black listed from the White House, as being around that loser is a red flag that slams doors shut in your face.

Which of course is far different than say over 20 different foreign governments renting hotel rooms (that they don't show up for, just to transfer funds) from the President's son, who dutifully reports back to the White House to help set access to the President himself...

This false equivalence is an extremely powerful tool to control people.

> I don't think that's an obstacle to writing.

It absolutely has been for me, and I'm willing to bet if you actually track your time, you might be surprised.

Obsessing over building is like a warm blanket for someone who's a developer by trade. Writing in public, by contrast, will make a non-writer extremely uncomfortable and vulnerable.

And humans are super good at pain-avoidance.

I spent roughly 200 hours trying to be clever about building my last blog (experimenting with static site generators, headless CMS options, markdown flavors, CSS frameworks, build process, etc) when I was first getting enamored with the static site world.

Fast forward a few years, it turns out I built a monster that I can't remember how to use, nor do I care to.

And I realized instead of getting my ideas into the world, I hid behind that security blanket of "building."
Yep. I'd call it collusion. I'd encourage prosecution for it. It's good law. It's good to have a legal remedy for the abuse of power.

"So in my mind it makes sense there's no Django for Javascript."

There is no dominant framework because there are manny good ones focusing and different things. That is because nodejs is larger than anything we've seen thus far.
the police and courts have the ability to impose bans on individuals returning to protests and re-offending. They could quite easily say "if you participate in another protest where a road is blocked in the next 12 months, we'll hand you a 1 month jail sentence".

For some reason this isn't being used, and they just let people go again and again, and they always return a few days later. Well, actually, they DO issue these restrictions, but don't follow up with actual punishment. Boggles the brain. You take a handful of grandmas and stick them in actual, factual jail for a month, see how many people return to protest next time.
Not sure of today, but a few years ago, AMD was harder to work with - getting parts, documentation, expamples, SDKs, etc. etc. (If you're not Sony). As I was told, lots of AMD initiatives towards openness were discontinued when AMD was taken over by new director(s) and became the "team red".

Anecdote from my visit to Beijing. We stayed in a guesthouse type place with a courtyard in the middle. A child around 7-8 was doing homework with her mum until 9/10pm while we played cards and drank beer.

As a kid I would have been playing games or watching TV at that time.
It's not essential at all. I, for example, make a decent living by selling my labor.

And not only is it not essential, in reality it destroys prosperity.

Perhaps the authors missed the fact (or are beyond greedy) that over 30% of GDP is redistributed and as that percentage grows, Western countries turn into third world shitholes.
IMHO, the risk is how crypto is purchased. If purchased via debt, there is a lot of risk if it crashed. If its owned outright, the risk is much less.

The housing crash of 2008 was a drunken debt binge. Housing by its nature is funded by debt and that is why we saw such a massive impact when it cratered.

I 'think' that most crypto is being purchased by people who have idle cash on hand. They don't want to invest in debt because the return is absurdly low. They don't want to invest in stocks because the US Fed has poured so much money into the system that stock prices are nuts. Thus, crypto seems like a good deal. Add to that the confidence that you can always spot the top and get out before the crash and voila, you have the crypto surge.
It does look useful, but skimming the docs I see a lot of the management is running yarn commands, hand editing model files, toml files, tweaking graphql, etc.

It seems closer to something like Laravel than Django or Rails. And even that comparison is hard because it's trying to orchestrate a lot of 3rd party stuff where Laravel is orchestrating mostly it's own stuff.

Or what about Nigeria and India based scam artists ripping off thousands and thousands of elderly Americans on a daily basis? I think in India it’s turned into an entire industry by now. Is there really nothing American law enforcement can do about it or are they just asleep at the wheel?
You cannot use an argument of whataboutism in politics (well, you can, but it doesn't have any effect). It isn't applicable in any way. It just establishes that one bad deed doesn't excuse another.

But in a political context when the topic is mutual standards of behavior, it can be justified because that overrides the determination if an action is ethical or not.

On the contrary it can be abused as a rhetorical trick to only let objections be permitted if the sender is flawless if the accuser takes the lead in pointing out mistakes.
> The clean from gradle deletes the folder entirely and creates a new one in it's place.

That's really bizarre behavior. If the folder has no files or zero byte files then it might make sense, but if gradle's deleting non-empty files that don't concern it, that seems to be more of a problem with gradle.

I get the point though; if there's no versioning, why bother having an empty folder?
I have to pitch Resilio Sync (formerly Bittorrent Sync) here.

It's a proprietary, more polished alternative that offers a freeware license for personal use.

My biggest issue with Syncthing was that there was no auto-discovery, if you had 25 or so computers across a group of friends, you needed to set up 25^2 connections, which wasn't really feasible. Not sure if this is still a thing, but Resilio solves this perfectly, you just input a secret key and computers just connect automatically. The developers also provide turn servers, which is useful in restrictive NAT scenarios. End-to-end encryption is supported, both in the free and the pro versions, although the latter gives you much more control over who can do what to the folder.

I use Resilio as a "big Dropbox" with dozens of gigabytes of data per folder, shared across a small-ish group of trusted friends. It doesn't cost us anything and works really well.

The largest folders I've seen had over a terabyte of data in them, but you probably want the pro version (with selective sync) for those.
> The article also mentioned that this went on just as a bad online with encouragements for suicide being a frequent part of the cyber bullying.

That doesn't surprise me at all. Back in the day 2ch, which was the forerunner of 4chan in Japan, was extremely popular, but basically just as toxic and awful as 4chan. I think in Asia generally there is a LOT of aggression online.
As an experienced dev, I agree and disagree with what you said. I do care less about languages, although I do have preferences, that part is true. However, I hate switching between them, and vastly prefer to stay in one language. The syntax is not the problem (although it is annoying trying to remember how to do an if-then statement when switching a bunch). It is the libraries and tooling that drives you crazy, plus the paradigms and idioms that are often used. I don't enjoy developing in Java, not because of the language, but because Java codebases are almost always an ornate mess of abstractions and layer after layer of tiny functions that make it incredibly difficult to hold enough of the codebase in your head to get things done.
I don't care that much about the security claims but I have to acknowledge that they are probably true to some extent. I value OpenBSD most for its minimalism. The OpenBSD project seems to have managed to avoid the feature bloat that other systems are now suffering from. You have to learn it, but there is not a lot there to learn.

Once you figure out how to set it up then the audio just works. That is a killer feature compared to the situation I had to deal with when I was doing Debian on the desktop.

To some degree, this is a question of time. You may think of Rails as a monolith that developed all its own technology, but really it’s a framework that’s been around for a while and done a good deal of absorbing good ideas and composing existing libraries.

- Rails controllers and plug-in architecture come from MERB (absorbed for Rails 3) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merb

- ERB templates, the default for Rails view layer, have been in the Ruby standard library since at least 2007 (which is as far back as the docs go)

- Rails adopted Rack web server interface and the first versions of the asset pipeline in 2.3, neither of those were written by Rails community.

Rails 1 was released in 2004, almost 10 years after the release of Ruby in 1995. Node was released in 2009 - so maybe one of the frameworks mentioned here —- Next.js /Blitzjs, Nest, Meteor, Redwood —- could be a Rails 1.0 or 2.0. Give them another 5 years or so to mature and then you’ll have your Rails.

Personally, I’ve been trying out Blitz and it seems pretty good, feels like a Rails 2ish kind of thing, where you can do a lot of stuff by following convention but can’t “plug in” as deeply as with Rails 3+.
Same here, I have been contacted multiple times for Amazon Vancouver positions. I am from Slovenia and they told me they would be glad to help me out with the overseas move and sponsor the Visa..
Faith seems to have a part in it, for sure. But it also seems that people are demanding more and more certainty in their lives. I compare this to my Grandfather's day when kids had nearly complete autonomy and could travel to the next town over, use power tools and vehicles, shoot bows and arrows, while successive generations could do less and less (to keep them safe).
I attribute this to societal problems like crime, disease, and basic safety standards going from intractable and unsolvable problems (nothing can be done, so don't worry about it), to having a possibility of control, hence constant state of worry.
I think some people feel that by exposing a threat or danger to light, they are doing society a benefit. But at some point, we can't anticipate every low probability event and it's only adding to our neuroses.
Society is still adapting to the social media age. I think new norms and rules are still developing for what to discuss, share, link with polite company.
It’s probably worth noting that Japan hasn’t had that kind of lockdown. Schools, after school activities, etc for most part have continued throughout the pandemic.

I think most would hire a software engineer with a poop emoji website, just because you can get away with it doesn't mean that it helps your career or is good to put out there. All this does is show that he wants to be treated like a diva, which is totally fine, but a lot of people will get put off by that (which I guess is the point).
The US has weird banking regulations dating back to the depression that lead to this situation. I'm sure banks in the US would love to close everything and consolidate into 2-3 megabanks like in the UK.

I once made a fruitless suggestion that financial emergiencies should be treated the same as all others, ie diall911/999.
When the operator would answer you'd say I've got a financial emergency and you'd be redirected appropriately.
Further, I suggested that one's account should be deemed protected from the moment one dialled 911.
That way, no matter how plausible the scammer sounded , everyone wouold know that a simple foolproof course of action was available, dial 911.
Ok...so on to more inconvenient methods? Medium tried it. A real drag.

You talk like the war in Afghanistan "ending" was a good thing probably because you get to live far, far away from yet another region destabilised by US hands. Joe thought Afghans were too dumb to understand backwards induction, and put a nice islamic state over there. Military industry would sure be mad about the existence of new righteous wars to be fought over there.

> In the case of Eizo and Wacom it's probably fine

I can quickly name up their primary competitors in this space, and for some reason (note: definitely anecdotal) I do see that for them, for the last ~5 years they are now being fiercely competed from both budget and professional angles.

> but Apple are a bit more dubious.

Me too. While Apple is definitely stumbling right now, unlike the previous two there is no serious competition for Apple. While Windows might be fine on a desktop that was built for-spec by specialty builders (and Linux render farms!), laptops are definitely still subpar even for the best attempts (like Acer's D series and Microsoft's Surface laptops). For iPad, I can say that Microsoft and Samsung are only the somewhat competent here, especially that stock Android is still atrocious when it comes to tablet factors, and ChromeOS still generally uses Android apps.
> they MUST accept a clients instruction to transfer money and do so rapidly (unless doing so would be a crime).

Not quite true. Banks are required to accept and process instructions quickly, the general idea being that bank should never prevent an individual from accessing their own money. But protecting a client from fraud is a legitimate reason for slowing down a transaction, you just can't delay it indefinitely. There are plenty of UK banks that will delay outbound bank payments by up to 24 hours if they think there's a good chance someone is being defrauded.
> If you don't know who Jony Ive is, you have no possible business with him.

Pretty sure there are plenty of CEO's out there who don't know who he is and could potentially be interested in his services. Just because you aren't aware of the designer world doesn't mean that you wouldn't pay for a top designer, and this website means the CEO would look for another agency.

Syncthing supports introducer devices. If you mark a device as introducer, you'll automatically add all devices the introducer knows to your list. So basically adding a new device to an existing group requires everyone to agree on one introducer, and everyone will add the new device automatically.

NAT traversal and relay servers exist too. So seems it's pretty much on par with Resilio, plus open source.
The bans have been imposed. They've literally got multiple injuctions againist them.

I believe there are many schools of CRT, so nitpicking is always possible.

It's not linting, it's typechecking which is slightly different. Linting won't catch type errors. All I'm recommending is to add a typecheck to the CI system so no one sneaks in a broken type (I couldn't recognize a broken type in a PR personally).
