Ugh. You're going to make me defend Java? I'm going to need a drink...

First point: Yes, Java's arrays are broken and it offends me greatly. However, in practice, it's much more common to use Lists, which are not broken. In JavaScript/TypeScript "Array" is the equivalent of Java's List, so if you want a dynamically sized, contiguous, collection, you are stuck with the broken thing.

Then, the other issue is that, despite my comment's wording, this problem isn't ONLY present in Arrays. It's also a problem with objects, and (I assume) every other non-primitive type. See here: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/MYGwhgzhAECCB2BLAt...

So even a basic object field is broken in TypeScript's type system. What the hell are we supposed to do with this?

I do have thoughts and opinions about Java's Collection interfaces, the immutable implementations, etc, but that feels like a whole other topic.

Covid or no, the idea and implementation of a National medical strike force for emergency deployment in the US seems like a good thing.

I've been looking for a simple way to be able to listen to audio from my desktop and laptop simultaneously without requiring a hardware mixer or something. I'm currently using Scream but there is a bit of latency/delay.

How can Apple differentiate between state sponsored FISA hacks vs. other hacks or USA hacks?

Before Apple sends a notification, do they cross reference any existing warrants they received and make sure they don’t notify the customer that the US tried to hack their account, or iPhone, or requested their info?

Or are we to assume that Apple only means non-USA based attacks?

Or is the US gov going ape shit right now that all their targets they been infiltrating are going to get notified of that fact?

Or are we to assume anything FISA related means Apple happily and willingly had over the data and really isn’t a hack attempt?

It's annoying that game infrastructure is under constant attack.

The worst is the fun-destroyers who love to break things for the holidays.

I do wonder why DDoS still seems to be so easy though. You would think that by now we'd have ISP ingress policing, most reflection attacks would be shut down, and things like programmable switch hardware, FPGAs, and smart NICs could easily work as line-rate edge protection (both in the distributed edge cloud/CDN and the data center) and reject any packets that were duplicates (or duplicate users), came from the wrong place, or weren't encrypted properly.
Of course it should. Rent control is a glorified government lottery. If you’re born with a winning ticket (ie your parents have it already) or you get one of the extremely few openings, you’re a winner. Everybody else pays.

There are a lot of discrimination landmines when you ask employees to live in particular locations. In general, the safest thing to do is to require them to show up in person, and they will decide how far they are willing to live. In fact, if I recall correctly, you can't even ask people if they own a car. Being prescriptive about location can become a lawsuit for class discrimination.

Exactly. Basically you observe inflation. Expectations on future Inflation is high.

So people invest in everything that somehow holds value. So stocks, real estate prices are record high.

Honestly has anyone a good idea how to invest a large sum of cash to just get inflation protection?

I use a similar technology. It works by depositing pigments via capillary effect from a reservoir conveniently held in the body of the input device.

The pigments remain on an indexable surface, which is collected together with many other such surfaces. Searches, if the correct keyword is known, can take a couple of seconds.

The time between recharges is amazing, and to make a write requires a recharge every month or so. To actually retrieve information, it requires no charge at all!

Unfortunately, once the memory is full, you need to replace the storage device at a cost of about $10. I have to do this once every three months, but you can afford several and keep them aside. It's also really easy to tell when you're approaching your memory limit.

I'd say another drawback is a lack of backlight, but the ReMarkable doesn't have one either.

I described attributes of a Ponzi scheme. These attributes may apply to other investments. I made no attempt to define anything. You infer where inference is not applicable.
That's what people do when they have deeply underwater loans. Who is going to pay a $350,000 loan secured by a $200,000 house when they could just walk away and then go buy a $200,000 house for $200,000?
It's not all Bob's fault though. He had to live in somewhere and the only way for him to afford a house (theoretically worth $200K, inflated to $500K in the above example) even if he had $200K in savings was to get a $300K loan. Now if you reduce the house prices back to $200K levels he won't be able to refinance it anymore and his current bank will screw him even more.

Sounds like you made the right choice to walk away. "My code doesn't need tests" smacks of match-over-the-shoulder type of chaos creation. This person has likely never had to maintain their own code or someone else's, nor has anyone ever had to maintain their code. 0/5 would not work with.

Tests are wonderful. Tests are proof your code works. They are something to be proud of. And they defend your code against the chaos monkey of future people refactoring and rearranging.
They include external USB drives and NAS as different types, specifically about the NAS:

> can be considered statistically independent too since it is connected over the network and may survive if something bad happens to a part of your infrastructure.

So my interpretation is: e.g. a HDD connected over SATA, an external HDD over USB and a HDD on NAS are all considered different media types even though ultimately they are all based on spinning hard drives.
OP here. While the company is focused on helping entrepreneurs with their businesses, setting up their processes, and planning their roadmaps, I've gotten help with such tasks too.

> It makes sense to be conservative in deciding what material to put in the school library.

It really doesn't. School is one of the best places we can have people encounter challenging idea and works for the first time. If we coddle people on school and then they are exposed to those ideas on their own (which they will be) then they have fewer resources to aid in processing those ideas and are more likely to end up confused and misinformed.

Recording audio in public is also legal in the US, I'm not sure why the analog for persons with disabilities would make any difference? Under US law, there is not presumption of privacy in public spaces, and therefore citizens have no rights to privacy while in public spaces.

Not the parent post, but I've been thinking about unifying all devices in my home by sending all audio streams into a single, unified "sound server" from which I can easily switch between TV audio, Bluetooth, headphones, etc.

The idea is to be able to take a call on my phone and receive notifications on my laptop while developing on my PC. It'd also be nice for streaming stuff in general.

As many people who have also looked into this stuff probably already know, interactive audio is really sensitive to latency. I've given it a quick shot by running pulse over the network, but honestly I wasn't impressed. I've given up for now, but some suggested software here might be good enough for a second shot, based on pipewire and its JACK backend this time.

That isn't necessarily true. Just because your eye doesn't doesn't mean mine doesn't. How do you know I wasn't born blind and retrofitted with a silicon eye that gives me both the ability to see and record/duplicate more easily than other humans?
I stand corrected; yes apparently I am paying something extra for email support. Even though I renewed my business domain as usual in March 2021, I now see I paid another invoice for "Microsoft 365 Email Essentials Basic - Renewal" in late June, in the amount of $28.68 (annual). It's now coming back to me that I even conversed with an online operator at GoDaddy to confirm this charge was necessary for me.

Now that I recognize that, I suppose I see it as acceptable. My SMTP and POP3 mail service has continued uninterrupted, and when I log in to GoDaddy webmail every 3 weeks or so to check for spam that I care about, I just click on the "Outlook" web icon to see my mailbox via the web browser.

What Not to Do on Your Work Computer (2019)
Stateful firewalls let UDP traffic out. And they generally let "replies" come back from the destination IP & port to the source IP and port on the host. That means that you just need a central server to coordinate the session ID and the IP & port of each side. Then the two peers can send each other data directly and the firewall will let it through because it's a "reply" to the data that was sent.

Many of the worst holes are indeed because of JavaScript compat. But, not all of them. See some of my other comments in this thread.

There's no earthly reason that a `type` should automatically implement Record<string, unknown> and an `interface` shouldn't. That's just dumb and annoying- not necessarily "wrong". However, it's definitely wrong to allow me to pass `const o = {}` into a function that wants `Record<string, string>`. How in the world does TypeScript (with the strict flag set!) think that an empty object is able to return a string value for any arbitrary string key? That's absurd.

The issue I raised about arrays isn't just arrays, actually. It happens with object fields as well. See https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/MYGwhgzhAECCB2BLAt...

And, the `readonly` keyword has nothing at all to do with JavaScript. Yet, they added this keyword that is completely and utterly useless. To the point that I actually introduced a bug in my own code because I put `readonly` and `Readonly<>` everywhere and expected it to actually help me. It did help me... most of the time. And then it didn't. Because it turns out that you can always take a Readonly value, assign it to a non-Readonly variable and then just mutate the hell out of it, and the compiler won't even bat an eye: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/JYOwLgpgTgZghgYwgA...

That's just... so bad. I don't even know what else to say. Sure, it caught some of my mistakes, but if it won't even catch all of the class of errors that it's supposed to, then I have to basically be just as careful as if I didn't use the feature at all. So, it's not reducing my mental burden at all. If anything, it's just giving us/me a false sense of security and tricking me into thinking that I DON'T need to be as careful.
Why does a peer-to-peer app like this need a subscription?
didn't mean to talk bad... nothing but respect for everyone involved in this project. my comment was very hasty -- and you're right I should have disclosed up front that I'm working on a product in a similar space.

Ory has been around for awhile, they're quite the gorilla in the identity space - It's a set of very large, and very impressive products that work well together. It is extremely powerful, flexible, and can handle almost any use case. I'd define "lighter" as being more opinionated in it's approach with fewer options - as a result it's less powerful and flexible. Also, w/ open source, comes setting up your own infra (even if that's now just throwing it in a cloud), which I'd consider "heavier". Imo, these terms don't mean something is worse than something else, just a fit for a different use case.
I think they are referring to opening ports on your router as opposed to the automatic opening of incoming ports when connections are opened from the client machine. They probably use the STUN protocol to facilitate connecting two machines together peer-to-peer like what is done with WebRTC.

> The different media types is probably the hardest issue;

For my home stuff, I'm comfortable enough with having a backup on (raid 1 mirrored spinning rust) on my media server, plus a copy of that backup (also on spinning rust) on an external USB hard drive. The chances of simultaneous corruption of those - even though they're both spinning rust - seems "low enough" for me.

(I also have another raid 1 pair of spinning rust that powers up once a week very early Monday morning and rsyncs the media server backup directory, then powers back down when it's done, to mitigate against fat-finger-fuckups and/or home network p0wnage. Somebody who p0wns something inside my network might find the cronjob or shell scripts that run the wifi powerpoint those drives use on and off, but at least I'm down to an hour or so a week where that copy might get cryptolockered...)
You're blindly relying on transport security currently, and that's unacceptable even when distributing your own code.

Integrity verification of distributed packages (ideally cryptographically) is a core and required feature of a package manager.

At an absolute bare minimum you need a Lockfile style mechanism to allow users to ensure two installs are the same.

> without using "bytes representing 105" (aka imaginary colors)

I think you misunderstood my point.

I'm saying it doesn't matter if certain byte sequences are invalid and don't correlate to real colors.

Imagine you're encoding two digit numbers into bytes. It's not bijective but that's fine, no correct two-digit math will give you an invalid byte.

Or imagine you're encoding numbers into bytes the way UTF-8 works. It's not bijective to all sequences of bytes but that's fine. No correct manipulation will give you a sequence that can't decode.

If you're trying to do incorrect math, you've already lost, and no color space will help. For example, overflowing your red channel in sRGB could turn your eggshell into a cyan.

> and trying to stay percepetually uniform

Where did that come from?

Zero encodings will be perceptually uniform, therefore being non-uniform isn't a disqualifier.
If you think about it, this feels like the assistant version of a good developer. From a good senior developer I expect initiative. I expect them to have a high level view of the system while still working on the 'in the weeds' stuff. They proactively create a ticket for later to do that refactoring they think is really needed but we don't have time for right now and they ninja it in on Friday afternoon because they were done early with the work on the feature. Did I have to say anything about that? Nope! They just did it and I give them positive feedback about it when I notice it on Monday.
