Ownership requires decentralization.

In our case, we can't make a "Steam that's owned by game developers" if the listing information (the screenshots, the titles, the descriptions, the game files, and so on) are hosted on AWS.

Ownership means that, if the original creators were to walk away, the asset would still exist without the need for the original creator.

This is (maybe) a new business model: take something that was previously a service, turn it into an asset instead.

In a "service", the original creator operates the product. In an "asset", the original creator does not typically operate or control the product. So to turn a service into an asset, you "decentralize" the operation of the product; typically via a commodity market which drives the price down and disconnects the creator from the original product.

As a real world example, take cars. Imagine if, when you purchased a car, you paid a subscription for your car service. Then someone came along and said "hey, you should just be able to buy a car and own it". Critics argue "but then who would fix it when it breaks? who will fuel it? There's no way anyone could provide you these services better than Ford. This 'car ownership' must be a scam." And sure enough, many people come along selling you a pink slip for a car, claim there's only so many to go around, and people speculate on the pink slips. The critic then argues "see, all this 'ownership' stuff is just a scam! Everyone's just buying the pink slip to sell to the next sucker." In fact, the pink slip sellers never made the car, and disappeared with the money. The speculators and scammers are indeed speculators and scammers; but they don't change the underlying point: it's not unreasonable to try and sell the car. In order to make the car an asset, you must "decentralize the car"; by ensuring anyone can become a mechanic and anyone can sell fuel to the car.

In Strangemood's case, we make a decentralized marketplace for software licenses, that's owned primarily by the sellers (ie: decentralized Steam). If Strangemood stored files on S3, then whoever owns the the AWS account is the only operator, and so the product is a traditional service, rather than an asset.
This is very misleading particularly for those not familiar US laws. If you want to say publicly disclosed campaign contributions with no quid pro quo is bribery than say so but that's not most people's definition of bribery. Democracy requires campaigns and campaigns require money.
> Still, I "use" those much less than 10% of the time, and most of them are simply web forms.

90% of them are various clunky ticket systems, (at least) one of which will invariably be JIRA. Preferably at least three or four of them in the same <10k staff corporation to do slightly different but basically similar things, which could all be done in any one of them.
Ah, of course! Compression, doh. Thanks.
Just what the doctor ordered in the middle of a war which is also waged in the information space. Hopefully the fact that it’s in v8 will take the exploit a bit longer than usual to proliferate.
Well obviously I don't know what field you're in, but if it's something tech related in this market you should do fine.

As for me I've only been let go twice where it was surprising to me, most of the time I've been let go because I deserved it, I had been at the same place a couple years and I got bored which leads to me becoming extremely unproductive. In every case where I have been let go it has in fact been the best thing that could have happened to me under the circumstances, although it did not seem like it on one occasion.
Microsoft has added some mitigtions to Edge a few months ago as defense in depth - wondering now if this is actually exploitable on Edge or if their mitigations prevent it? Any Microsoft/Edge security people on here?

Thanks for playing the game :)

I'm Daniel, Diego's brother who also worked on this project. Your question is a bit broad, but I can tell you what it was like to work with emscripten.

We used emscripten to compile our C++ application to WASM and to generate the JS code that loads the application. This part was very easy. We had the game running on the web in no time.

What was much much more difficult was working with emscripten's APIs to do things like handle mouse / touch / keyboard inputs. There's tons of gotchas and weird limitations to work through.

Another huge challenge was in sending data between the JavaScript layer and the C++ application. You have to serialize data and then parse it on the C++ side, which sounds easy until you try to do it.

We faced some tough challenges asynchronously loading the paintings. Our initial solution of using a simple thread pool library which manages web workers didn't run on Safari due to some strange incompatibilities with WebGL 2.0, so we had to go for a purely web worker based approach.

Overall, we are amazed at what you can do with emscripten, but you have to be prepared to face some bad documentation, browser incompatibilities, and to tinker A LOT.

Just tell the other employers you were laid off or the team was reorganized and you no longer liked the role. Nobody checks, unless they have some connection at your old company, and they are more interested in what you can bring to a new company.

Bash is amazing at being expressive and allowing for a ton of common things sysadmins / Devops / power users need to do with just one or a few lines of code vs a “proper” language that might require libraries, compiling stuff, or just a ton more SLOC + time debugging. If you don’t know what a glob is going to match, try it first. Understand the semantics. If you need portability, do that too, but a ton of what I end up using bash for is along the lines of slicing up poorly formatted inconsistent lists and running tools against stuff, possibly in conjunction with args from those lists, and for that it’s amazing. Stuff like jq helps a lot, and tools like xmlstarlet before that were great too. I remember trying to rewrite a script that was getting long and AWKward in Python and getting pretty frustrated with how explicit and error-prone it was there. Sure, the result was probably more robust, but it came at the expense of an order of magnitude more dev / debugging time. That’s not always necessary; sometimes “good enough” is good enough, and usually bash is good enough.
Yes that’s exactly the way I’d characterize the public sentiment towards “businesses with many contractors” at that time.
Everyone knows about it, and nothing like it has happened since.

(I remember when Bhopal happened, and I am still shocked. I just read up on details last year. It is not over. People are still suffering and dying from it today.)
More practically, DVDs and blu-rays are files on a filesystem. An audio CD does not have a filesystem, it's a raw stream of pits and lands, which do not correspond directly to bits, they must be decoded first.

The reason why ripping an audio CD is such an "art" is that without a filesystem there's no easy way to tell where the laser actually is on the disc. If it jumps or skips you might not realise.

hpn-ssh is specifically designed for high latency, high bandwidth file transfer and is more than just "big buffers and multi-threaded." And the question remains: how does your solution compare in simulated and real-world testing?

It's a little strange that you "conducted an extensive literature review" of congestion algorithms but you aren't aware of basic common tools like hpn-ssh, wget2's multithreading mode, or GridFTP which is used extensively in particle physics and genetics research communities.
No OP, but I’m using mailinabox on a linode vps for $5/month. The IP is in a range that doesn’t typically get marked as spam by default, and there are several checkers in place on the admin console to make sure that you’re dotting all of your “i”s and crossing all of your “t”s, from MTA-STS to DNSSEC. I do still run into problems from time to time, but it’s very rare these days.

I understand that, it's just my impression with using Snap that it's used to ship desktop applications in a consistent way.
If you run an established service or have a certain kind of userbase? Sure. For a startup with a consumer-focused mobile app? Maybe not. For them, not enough people liking your product to build a reputation is a "hair on fire" problem. In most shopping apps for example, most customers would never even know if the service had 12 hours of downtime per week. An extra step during the checkout sequence, however, and you'll never see them again if there's an alternative.

Developers see interfaces and user flows as a place to expose controls so users can operate the software. To users, the interface is the software and bad interface = bad software.

So it's super context dependent.
I don’t see how you can call it a “trend” when I can’t think of a single mainstream device with such a requirement.
I feel like python acts like a kind of bus in scientific computing, connecting various high performance libraries and DSLs together.

That said, this article's story of someone using the wrong algorithm is a bad example in my view. Python hasn't succeeded because people are more likely to use more efficient algorithms due to easier experimentation, it has succeeded because the of the size of the ecosystem and the fact such algorithms are easily available.

Psychedelics did it for me, I was looking for fun but as an unintended consequence I became much more extrovert.

Of course, don't actually do hard drugs without medical supervision. You are more likely to end up worse off. A counter anecdote, a friend of mine who was really extroverted is now pretty shy and nervous in social interactions after suffering a few psychotic episodes during one of our drug binges.
One of the people I managed on a remote team suddenly died one night from an aortic aneurysm. He was in his early 40's, had his teen-aged daughter living with him (who fortunately was away visiting her mom). I'd talked to him only hours before. I'd only met him once in-person, just a few weeks before, when he and I and another person I managed had an informal "on-site". I'd learned recently the two of them had been really good friends for many years.

The company had never had to handle something like this. Thankfully, HR and execs had the right priorities - concern for his family, respect for him and his family in how the news was shared with co-workers (especially with cause-of-death being unclear at first), concern for how it would affect close co-workers and others in the company, awareness that people would need to process and grieve in their own way.

HR talked with the family and got their permission to make an announcement to co-workers, and some guidance on the wording. HR offered to send this, but I felt that would feel too impersonal. I wanted news like that to come across in the most personal way possible, from someone (like me) who knew and cared for him.

The amazing response from the company was a big part of the healing. So many people wanted to do something. The family decided to have a private ceremony, and asked that instead of flowers, donations be made to an animal charity his daughter loved. People really felt for his daughter, and wanted to send cards and letters (which the family was happy to support). One of the teams (that hardly knew him) decided to have a commemoration during their weekly meeting.

The hardest part of all of this was (a) when his daughter called me to arrange for return of his work equipment and (b) when a family member suggested that one way I could help would be to share some of my experiences with his daughter about working with her dad. I have girls of the same age, so pretty close to home. It was hard to write that letter (#b), but it was also healing for me to think about the many positive ways he'd affected me and our team.

A few days later, it felt right to me to have some "closure". I sent a note to the company thanking everyone for the different ways they had respectfully honored our co-worker and supported his family. I also shared some of my memories working with him, and how much I missed his contagious happiness. As sad as it was that he wasn't with us anymore, I wanted to remember how much fun it was to work with him, and that's what I was going to focus on.

I hope I won't have to go through that again any time soon, but when I do, I hope it goes this well.
Agree that the warning:

note: do not turn your microwave on for ANY portion of this test

might not be visible or clear enough. I think OP should consider updating the instructions and set as a first step:

1. Unplug the microwave.
I realize there are toxic side effects to "our team is like family," but it's been important to me to find ways to express any sentiment that recognizes the shared humanity of people coming together to work on common goals. I'm glad to hear the team was given space to grieve. It's not something that comes up in a typical management playbook.

Take care of your team and your peers. You may not be family, but you're something else kinda like it.
