Seconded.

Not only that, I didn't even have to touch NoScript - it all apparently loaded perfectly. Wow, it'd be nice if much more of the internet was like this!
agreed! the real-time processing should be bespoke and is where I think Twitter previously shined. The data processing wasn't a point of differentiation for them and so it makes sense for them to offload it to a cloud provider and let someone else deal with the operations associated with it.
Docker will make sense if you had a good OS class. The summary is that it makes it easier to run and deploy software and gives extra control over resource access and isolations between programs.

Kubernetes will immediately make sense if you take a serious Distributed Systems class.
I was just wondering, are there disconnected internets that i can join? I d rather stay in a limited sector that is not overpopulated and oversaturated with the mainstream, even if it has huge downsides. Just like how biology uses membranes to build the useful stuff , i think we need harder borders between internet communities to increase the variance. Everyone moving around like a giant mob and lashing at each other in universal platforms is not productive. I wonder what kind of tech is needed to begin the great internet fragmentation.

We keep trying things with our coop, but we often just fall back on google sheets for everything - which everyone hates but it’s flexible enough to do what we need and we all know how to use it.
That first pic is wild - it looks like the bridge survived, and the flood washed away the embankment supporting the road way past the edge.
We use additional compute power to enable frameworks and abstractions that allow code to be written faster. Sure it's bloated but at least there is a reason.
We've converted most JS projects I work on to TypeScript now, and it is game-changing. Interesting to read how a much larger company did the transition.

Main takeaways from this article that I have also found are:

- Convert your most imported & core code first - it's much easier to convert files which only have TS imports - so start with those, and work out.

- Generating types for API response data has removed so many runtime errors. We generate types from GraphQL schemas.

While learning TypeScript takes time (but not much really), now I am familiar with it, I would code faster in TS than in JS.
Maybe not as sexy-looking, but I still prefer VFD displays. The voltage is less threatening. And if you are lazy you can buy them with serial interface. Also you can buy them really cheap.

Fun post. I hadn't connected Elm decoders and parser combinators before, despite having used them both.

What I love about parser combinators is that they are just code, in your language. They are also highly composable.

What I hate about parser combinators is how easy it is to accidental generate infinite loops or miss a crucial backtracking point.

Are there any parser combinators libraries that avoid these traps, particularly around recursion?
I believe this doesn’t account for dictionary-based attacks. “qwerty secret 123456” may even have decent entropy in ascii space, but can be bruteforced in minutes because these words go first in the weighted list. (Not a security expert)

Yes. About 1 in 700 players can make a living off of it. It's zero-sum, of course. Many of the losers don't know they lost yet, because they haven't cashed out. This is typical of a Ponzi scheme.

Wow, that's crazy fast. Going from JS to TS is a dose of hard reality w.r.t. how many bad patterns JS lets slide. They must have had a lot of devs or a few really good ones.

Although I'm surprised they are still using Babel in 2021. I dropped support for it in my FE build flow in 2018 and hit a few corner cases in Europe and China, but that was it.
Big endian is better for routing applications. In the same way that little endian is better for addition.

For example let's say I send a message to 1.2.3.4, the first router will decide what will be the next node based on the first number, the next one on the second, the next on the third, etc... Because it is big endian, the first router only has to read the first number to do its job, if it was little endian, it would have to read the entire address fist.

Of course, it is a detail, I mean, the words "little/big endian" is a parallel to the the pointless fights in Gulliver's travels. But even if it could have gone either way, for IP, big endian is more natural.
Same thing happened when VPS hosting started being branded as this brand new thing called the cloud and now look at where we are with that. Go figure out how and where smart contracts get executed, and how web3 does decentralize things via a wallet, and tell me there isn't something there, hidden behind all of the marketing fluff of crypto conmen.
Here are a couple of methods that are fair and reasonable when entering into a negotiation:

1. Use a standard multiple on revenue for you industry, e.g. 3x for SaaS, conservatively estimate your revenue in 5 years (be realistic), and multiply. Then divide that result by 10, I.e. investor wants a 10x ROI, and that’s a good starting point for a valuation cap.

2. Modified Berkus: Start with a $2 million basis, then add up to $2 million based on relative experience of the team, up to $1 million for the status of the development/market readiness, up to $2 million for the sales pipeline, and up to $1 million for other factors. You can also add $1 million per $500k of revenue if you have it. That’s a good starting point.

3. Market: you can throw out a number based on what others are asking, but investors like me hate this approach for pre-seed companies.

4. You can use a SAFE and kick the can down the road.

If you live in Vancouver and are staying there it is not an issue.
But there is an amazing huge scale issue of access to the interior of British Columbia.

There is no way to travel across a whole region of a huge country.
Similar to closing all east west highways in southern California, from the Mexico border to lake Tahoe.

This is probably the worst security problem ever in the JS ecosystem. Any npm package could be corrupted, and we wouldn't even know it if the original maintainers don't pay attention to new releases anymore.

Still some people argue if this deserves its own CVE.
I think you will get a lot of complaints, which is unfortunate, but many many will understand that it's not going to be perfect. I was there for the period of switching from svn to git, and similar things happened. Really the only way I even learned git itself is because I could use git locally and the rest of my team couldn't tell.

Regardless though, pijul is really cool. I just badly want to be able to use it at my day job :)
Right, and they don't even confirm who might have seen that list, except that "the data on this service is consumed by third-parties who may have replicated the data elsewhere". So basically consider all private package names as of that date forever public.
Your refusal to acknowledge the difference between prisoners of war and the institution of chattel slavery is a disgrace and a consequence of the American education system that manufactures consent for imperialism and colonialism.

Maybe to put it in techy terms, Europeans did slavery at scale. We live in the aftermath of that and the threads are still visible (former colonies are still captive markets that export raw resources, more often than not to their previous colonial master's). We don't live in the global hegemony of the Corsair pirates, so if you want to discuss bondage on the African continent maybe address the context that it didn't form the basis of the global order we live in today.

Hitler is widely regarded as one of history's worst humans for just taking the colonialism European powers did at the time and applying it to Jews and other "undesirables" in Europe. While we're on the topic of America and how it didn't invent racism or slavery, might be worth noting how the Nazis got their idea for lebensraum and racial purity? I'm sure manifest destiny and one drop rules, or the fact that Long Island was the "eugenics capital of the world" played a part.
> Since there's still no mdns (resolution of .local domains) in android nor in chromium despite long standing feature requests…

If you run your own DNS resolver for your local network, you can use a Discovery Proxy (RFC 8766) to allow unicast DNS resolution of multicast DNS records. I'm using mdns-discovery-proxy[0] (slightly modified to support a newer version of the zeroconf Python library) with a forward-only zone rule in bind9 so that xyz.local is mirrored in unicast DNS as xyz.home.arpa. The latter address will work for any program on the network regardless of mDNS support.

> You know, I wish that there were a requirement for people to read just one book on economics before blathering about cryptocurrencies

Well you’ll be pleased to hear I’ve read plenty of books on economics, and hey — I even hold a qualification in it!

Just like the “value” inherent in fiat currencies, we grant “power” to the government because enough people agree to do so. This is real value, but nonetheless arbitrarily granted. Hence why I qualified my statement by saying “in essence” — just a bit of vital nuance you happened to miss.

Thanks for the chuckle though, I did laugh at the notion that after 9 years in crypto, I “haven’t thought for even a few seconds” about it :)
Yeah. Numitrons are like, "how about the disadvantages of a segmented display AND a nixie tube at once!"

Admittedly not the high voltage requirement, but the bulky glass housing and pinout etc.
It's certainly plausible, but considering your epistemic track record I am skeptical.

No, I mean in the real sense, there is no actual quantum processor anywhere in the world (unless some secret organization actually built something amazing and is hiding it).

Not a single quantum logical gate exists that actually behaves as described in the theory, let alone circuits of quantum gates that do even the most basic of computation. Actually, I'll take that one step further and say that no one has produced a single qubit (actual logical qubit as described in the theoretical literature), these 127 (if that) are what they call "physical qubits" or what you and me would call chaotic sources of uncontrolled entropy (i.e. random number generators).

I'm not saying quantum computing in the physical world is impossible, I'm just saying no one has accomplished it (yet).

Honestly sending out 20 applications a day sounds like a nightmare. There are sites where it’s easy and simple but many companies still insist on using their own internal hiring software which is often a complete and total usability nightmare and if you actually want to fill things out you’re going to be spending a long time repeating information from your resume in the format they desire. It sucks.

I truly can not stand how shitty and annoying it is to fill these out. There are some circumstances where I understand it regarding security clearance/background checks but even then there are absurd cases of duplication. Admittedly I’m in a somewhat unique position of having lived in something like 10 places in the last 7 years so it’s especially bad but multiple government agencies I’ve applied with have required information that I’ve already sent at a different phase of hiring repeated again, and the USPS Postal Police background check site which is very similar to SF-86 is possibly the most user-hostile site to fill forms for.

I could easily apply to 20 jobs, assuming they existed, via indeed in half an hour. But once a company requires you to go to their own site it can take half an hour to an hour to complete the process.

One book I found that was incredible was _Mathematics for the Million_ (3rd edition, from 1951) that's part mathematics book, part history book.

To verify, you're using a password manager? Because it's hard to imagine someone getting upset over having to just update an entry, and obviously the bank can't tell you not to use a password to unlock your own vault.

And I can't imagine someone memorizing a password for a bank login only, and never using that in other locations. The internet requires so many accounts to manage... If you did reuse your password then your bank login would be very vulnerable to credential stuffing.
Don't get me started on online bank security. Here in France, most banks have decided that security is best achieved by:

- authenticating using a 'client number' (different from your 'account number', sent to you once by a physical mail you lost long ago) combined with a 4-to-6 digit (numeric-only) passcode that you have to input on a virtual keyboard

- confirming web-initiated transactions via their app on your phone... but when it's app-initiated, well, you don't have to confirm anything other than just retype your passcode

- in the end, introducing some awfully long delays between some actions e.g. creating a new beneficiary and being able to send money to her... because 'it's for your own protection that we degrade your client experience'

This just bugs me.
Their reasoning that this is feasible is presupposed by the concept that “automated updates are commonplace”. As if there aren’t literal mountains of IOT and just plain internet devices that will never ever ever get updates.

Investors in their securities didn't ask whether the supporting collateral was inflated because they didn't have to. And because the GSEs made up the bulk of the market, it was their willingness to lend that drove that market. Their expansion of excess credit (along with the Fed's constant easing) lead to the bubble in housing prices that drove the whole thing.

Contrary to probably most people, I've actually got experience using a lot more than 127.0.0.1. I needed to support an HTTPS service built as a TLS terminating proxy plus an HTTP server on the same machine, the HTTP server didn't understand unix sockets, and the required max connections goal was 1 million; it would have probably been faster and more effective to teach the http server how to do unix sockets or how to do TLS efficiently, but there was organizational opposition to both at the time. Of course, both are now options.

So that means lots of connections on localhost, but you run into difficulties with managing ports unless you listen on multiple ips. Strategically picking the IPs to listen to helps reduce lock contention in the tcp stack as well. IIRC, I think we used 127.0.X.1 (which would be compatible with this proposal), but I no longer have access to the specifics.

The single loopback address of IPv6 is kind of insufficient, but there's not a whole lot of need for IPv6 over localhost, so if I ran into limits, I'd just use IPv4, or even use one of the IPv4 in IPv6 space mappings with IPv4 loopback addresses.

OTOH, if they're looking at opening up 127/8, why not also open up 0/8 (other than 0/24) and the class E 240/4 (other than 255.255.255.0/24)? There's some use of class E addresses[1], but I don't think it's that much more of a disruption than 127/8.

What stops a company from currently creating a more automated solution for real estate transactions except for current laws or an inability to integrate with government? I think some of the tech is cool and yes can automate things, I just wonder if it automates these things because it avoids integrating with government systems, which can be horrible out of date at times. So maybe it's not so much skirting of laws, but sometimes also working around systems, not with a bad intention, but because things aren't necessarily keeping up with technological change.

Also, could an open ledger make corruption more visible and harder to get away with? Yes, it could. Will it? I'm not so sure.
OTOH they seem to be hosting all their ads directly on their server, so e.g. PiHole doesn't block them.
So... what's all this about XKCD's password scheme not being ok? I found the argument pretty compelling, in that even if you presumed the attacker knew how you generated your password, there would be too much entropy to work out what it was.
