There is room for serverless applications with a sane and reasonably complete data storage interface (which localstorage and indexeddb are not.) You could offer users the ability to backup data locally using the filesystem api (which is reasonably usable), or perhaps sync data using p2p using webrtc (which is not as usable as it should be).

I have just under 3 years of professional experience, mostly in low-level C with some shell scripting and a little bit of Go. Looking for a fully remote position. Occasional travel would be fine. Have had a few false starts in my job search including making it into the final round with a FAANG and would like to start at a new job soon.

I'd prefer to do something other than C development for my next job. Go is at the top of my list but I'm also open to working in other tech stacks. I'm currently working on a dungeon crawler game in Go and have been experimenting with a React frontend for it. I'm planning on uploading it to GitHub and open sourcing it once it is complete. I view myself as a generalist and am looking for a job opportunity where I can learn and grow as a developer while delivering value to the company.
When I worked at a company that got like almost 100% of their revenue from ads, we got a very serious warning from an ad agency to stop serving our ads to bots. They gave us like 7 days to fix our traffic or we'd get removed, effectively killing our company. Scary time to be an engineer that morning! That was like 6-7 years ago, though! It's kinda crazy that things have changed this much.
This is Javalin and it is great. We switched to it a few months ago from another micro-framework.
If you’re using it at work then license of the training datasets absolutely matter, at least as far as lawyers are concerned (note that I am not a lawyer, I’ve just had to share this information with them in the past)
Not disagreeing with the overall premise that having SSH on PS5 is pretty cool, but a lot of those things you mentioned are available without SSH on it already.

You can kick off download of a game through the official app. Which will also notify you when the game is ready to play and then when it is fully downloaded. You can also see which games you have installed already and free up space by deleting some of them. And the last thing, you can also use the app to download the recent screenshots and video clips you took of your gameplay on the console.

All of this works from anywhere, as long as both your phone and the console have access to internet (they dont need to be on the same network though).
Last I checked, privacy.com uses Plaid, too. When privacy.com had asked me to use Plaid to add a payment method, Plaid's privacy policy talked of gathering transaction information and using it for advertising among other things.

I think Plaid's stance was that if the host service (the one asking you to use Plaid) wanted to be invasive then it's up to them, or if this host would be upstanding and maintain your privacy, that could happen, too. It was up to the customer to check their policies. But this limitation was not spelled out nor promised that I could see.

Their policy may have changed since then.
> Proponents say the ability to check drugs for the presence of lethal fentanyl may save lives. But critics say the strips enable drug use.

Abstinence only education isn't working. A lot of people are dying, people that aren't seeking fentanyl.

As the article says even marijuana has fentanyl in it these days. And I’ve heard reports in Mexico that pharmacy drugs have had it as well.

Various indictments and warnings over some variation of this in Mexico:
https://www.google.com/search?q=mexico+pharmacy+fentanyl&ie=...

Until people can talk about it as a real thing that happens, nothing is going to change.

Abstinence based apathy is contributed to lots of people dying and no realistic measures taken.
Really? Visa/MasterCard/Amex have Click To Pay but it's on the merchant to offer it. This is the opposite of Privacy.com where the customer can choose to use it.
This is amazing! I used https://rextester.com/l/postgresql_online_compiler to rapidly iterate/prototype some complex jsonb queries for a project at work ~3 years ago, but it has since been locked behind a patreon paywall.

While I've since switched to the native https://postgres.app/, it will be nice to be able to spin up a fresh postgres test db in the browser in the future.
Indeed it is! May I asked what you switched from?
One interesting use case that wasn't mentioned is edge computing. If you buy into Chrome-as-a-container that can run on an "edge" more easily than a data center, this is a step in that direction
You’re supposed to use Superchargers as seldom as possible; like just for the occasional road trip. Using them for regular charging shortens the lifespan of the battery considerably.
The sound like bit.
Copyright does not prevent anyone from doing that. The question is how to incentivize very high initial cost, low marginal cost ventures. Assuming you want to incentivize them.

Like $100M movies or software. Or $10M+ journalism ventures. Lawyers, logistics for travel to warzones, salaries, etc.
This is an absolutely ridiculous statement. Throughout history, people have moved where the jobs are. You don’t escape poverty by staying stuck in a place with no opportunities. If you went to university and studied filmmaking for example you’re probably going to find a lot of work in LA, New York and other metropolitan areas. You’re not going to find work in a small village in the middle of Alaska. And sometimes you’ve got to slum it for a while to achieve financial independence.

And that’s presuming the reason for the financial distress is work related. There are tons of other reasons why someone might be in a poor financial situation. Maybe their spouse left them or died and now they’re a single parent. Maybe they’re a victim of fraud. Maybe they lost their house in a wildfire. Literally thousands of reasons.

Or should children just be happy to not have their own interests in life and instead just be slaves to whatever their parents wish until the parents die and the children are finally released of their bonds?
The real problem is lack of choice in where you live. If it wasn't the charger, then the folks in the article might have had another problem that their inflexible landlord would not resolve. If you have a choice, then things are a lot easier.

I rented a townhouse in the fall of 2019. As I was negotiating rent, move in dates, etc, I got the landlord to agree to have his electrician install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage at my expense. It was all quite painless. If he would have said "no", I'd have rented a different townhouse. I made it clear that was a deal breaker.

When I bought my current place, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had a NEMA 14-50 already installed in the garage, so I didn't have to do anything to secure charging for my car.
I can really appreciate the fun and technical challenge of running postgres in a browser. However the use cases are extremely far fetched.

1. training website: you can use a hosted PG, or use a sqlite wasm

2. same as above

3. if the use case is being offline, then the web browser isn't very relevant. If the use case is to avoid a load on the server, the sqlite in wasm will be just fine.

It's only if you go into triggers and such that it might start being relevant, but then I'd start seriously questioning what on earth are you trying to do :D

All of that to say: well done to the team that has done it, really fun and interesting work, I just can't see the use from where I stand.

Journalism and poor science education are the primary culprits. Medical researchers find and publish results. The journalists sensationalize those results because the headlines sell. People don't understand the path from medical research to medical regimen and the checkpoints involved. Much of the research may be shown to have marginal efficacy in practice, may have side effects that are more harmful than beneficial and so on. The path from the research lab to your oncologist's practice often takes over a decade - if it ever makes it. That's how medical science works.

As others have noted, at least the pipeline isn't drying up. Lots of researchers are investigating many different aspects of cancer treatment and all are moving the needle ever so slowly. Even so, over the past forty years we have moved the needle quite a bit.
Interestingly we can do this, sorta, but in Chrome only. Using arp you can open a network between multiple tabs of the same Chrome instance, putting each browser vm on a different private ip. I only see this useful, though, for testing clustering systems. There won't be any outside internet connectivity in a setup like this though.
4.20 exists, but 3.20 and 5.20 don't. I don't think there is any meaning to the numbers. It has been "the next release" since the 2.15 branch has been abandoned.
I genuinely don't understand the endgame here.
If I'm understanding it right, this case would essentially hold social media companies liable for messages of terrorism spread on their network. So... more censorship is the answer?

This will most certainly bring about future lawsuits from those who believe social media is too censored. With today's politics in the US I just do not understand where this ends. Maybe there can me meaningful change to Section 230, but I don't imagine anything making it through congress with bipartisan support.
Most people just die from overdoses, not bad batches. Legalizing insanely addictive drugs like heroin and fentanyl would likely only increase deaths therefrom. There is no safe recreational use of them.
If it can be proven that big tech is already partisan in rule enforcement, then they should not have these protections.

There's no way this can work when you consider that the battery packs in cars are massive. Wikipedia says that the long range version of the tesla model 3 weighs 1060 pounds. Assuming that energy density of your "portable lithium ion battery" is similar, you'd need to lug around a 200 lb battery pack just to charge your car 20%.

Privacy.com is a great service. I use them all the time to generate 1 time use card numbers for sites & then cancel the card so they cannot mysteriously charge me. I've been with them for years & their CEO is a wonderful & smart person.

When you're allowing strangers to perform financial transactions - you're taking on risk that the money that is sent needs to actually be funded. They need to conform to KYC laws like all fintech providers - so yes, they will require knowing a little bit about you to operate in the United States like all financial institutions.
> Scarcity, and money, doesn't motivate anyone.

I will simply have to disagree. Obviously, I cannot prove everyone working in movie studios or newsrooms or software companies will answer that money does not motivate them, but I highly suspect people are working 18 hour days or traveling to warzones or poring through legal filings at least partially because it will help them feed/shelter themselves.

Interesting article, but not sure how that would apply in entertainment media markets.

> Here is the issue: what is wrong with taxes ?

Nothing, let us see more taxpayer funded R&D in the public domain. But I think the problems of copyright are mostly due to excessive terms. Completely getting rid of them means getting rid of big budget movies and whatnot, or funding them with taxpayer money (which I am not a proponent of).
Man, you all are some of the biggest haters I've ever seen.

I've gotten to wear and use both the Magic Leap 1 and Magic Leap 2. These devices are like wearing technology 15 years into the future. It's absolutely wild seeing what is possible. It's crazy because you all are hating so much, but they're out here shipping enterprise products and services and doing it as a first-in-class device.

I'm especially confused because some of you are comparing this device to VR devices when it's a completely different product focus. VR != AR folks. And if you got the chance to try and see it, you would completely understand the vision.

I'm incredibly hyped about Magic Leap and can't wait for this technology to become more widely available. What they're doing there is nuts, and exciting!

All you all need to go touch grass.
> The Church didn't "beat authoritarian competition

That is not what I wrote. I would appreciate responses to what I actually wrote.

Authoritarianism - there is one absolute power. I pointed out that this was far from true in Europe, church being just one of the things I mentioned.

> Kings and local war lords were its executives, not its competitors.

Of course they were competitors! They were both! That is the point! Of course they did not have only eternal war between them, that is the magic. They cooperated and were competitors. The Walk to Canossa only being the most famous example, it usually didn't end that spectacularly. Even within the church there was struggle, there even were two competing popes once (Western Schism).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but given your profile (I assume someone in the tech world), nothing stopping you from doing all of the above with a local pg. If installing is annoying you could run it in docker.
To summarize the video the secret is just how the people collaborate. Some parts seem oddly manual and others interestingly esoteric. Interesting little detail is how that researcher knows the political game of not presenting to Intel but instead having the VP himself present.

At least there is a lesson for society here about how to keep people together instead of dividing them. I'm both fascinated by the company, and like others in the company drawn by the technology, but also wonder if I would have a problem working in this cult like setting.
1) I have three different major credit cards and none of them have this feature. Your comment is still true in the abstract though, so I hope the amex product team is reading.

2) For a knowledgeable consumer, there is huge incentive to use services like this to prevent the credit companies from being a single point of financial data aggregation. But—and here I guess I'm talking to amex again—if disposable or per-merchant card numbers are widely offered by card providers, I'd expect most people would just use those instead of a more robust provider like privacy.com.
Confusing piece. By its logic, Aristotle also “influenced” quantum physics. We all of course stand on the shoulders of giants, but given the rate of development of computing in the last 100 years, claiming that its ideas originated 2,300 years ago doesn’t contribute much to understanding of what is going on.
I worked in domain registrations in the early 2000s and it's funny how we used to put stock into what sort of TLD a domain used. Like .com would clearly be a commercial entity, while .org would be more non-profits, open source, public domain and stuff like that.

Anyways, they're probably harvesting your payments and selling that info. I've noticed that since the card issuers have such high security requirements, and audits, a lot of little businesses have cropped up who are trying to act as middlemen to your payments. Because they just found a backdoor to getting all your payment history without hacking your card issuer. I believe privacy.com is one such business.
I literally laughed out loud that this would be the ‘example’…omigosh, too funny - I’m actually going to share this comment with a couple friends.
We should spell all words using the IPA.
Which is not how you smoke marijuana. I edited my post to indicate I'm not sure if it's too low a temp to be activated or so high it destroys it.
> I just don't see how humanoids can be of any use at this stage

Today, outside research environments, they are useless. We are still worried about them falling on their face, much less take the dog for a walk and cook you a couple of eggs. Generally useful humanoids are probably decades away.
EU resident here who hates the cold but will be wearing a down vest all winter.

Yes, EU is facing an energy crisis due to reliance on Russian energy.

How does switching to a reliance on another non-sustainable energy source help? That just creates another energy crisis.

We need to face up to having a few cold winters while we make the change, there really isn't any other good way forward.

And on the bright side, while a few cold winters isn't comfortable, it is a heck of a lot less destructive than what our grandparents and great grandparents lived through during the "cultural readjustments" of 1914-1920 and 1939-1945. These things come 1-2 times/century. If you manage it well you come out better.
> most of it is indeed covered in forest, most probably being old growth too

This is incorrect. Only about 2.7% is old-growth. Source: https://thenarwhal.ca/b-c-old-growth-data-misleading-public-...

In the past 250 years, people have destroyed the vast majority of old-growth forests in North America, especially in Canada (much of it exported), in the pursuit of quick money.

I hope there are massive protests in British Columbia, against all of this old-growth logging nonsense, at the scale of truck protests. Protests so massive that the supposedly pro-environment NDP government of British Columbia bans this large-scale environmental destruction.
The patent would keep other companies FROM making longer-lasting razors.

That's the real dark side of patent law - its used by the entrenched businesses FROM competitors entering the market with better technology for up to 17y.

That's exactly how we got Reprap so late - Stratasys patented the whole lot of 3d printing tech, and the patent didnt expire until 2011.
One that performs way worse then existing container solutions but that will of course be used to distribute binary blobs.
I mean either way it's a transliteration that's still not accurate to either pronunciation in its original form by sound. I don't have a problem with these sorts of political changes, just the way the wind blows, but it is funny to me when someone who doesn't speak either language attempts to correct other English speakers pronunciation when it's still not how a native Ukrainian would say it. Languages bastardize place names universally, there's no right way to say most places in most languages, they're all equally wrong.
> So the real question is, would the dominant fork be the one that ends mining or the one that continues it? And that would likely be answered by which the the power brokers in Bitcoin-land will support ie the mining pools.

That's a common misconception, but the ones who matter to decide which will be the dominant fork are the so-called "economic nodes", not miners. Nowadays, the most important "economic nodes" seem to be the exchanges (after all, Bitcoin is useless unless you can convert it to something else, be it goods, services, or fiat money, and the later seems to be its most important use nowadays).
The incentives are all out of whack and there are too many people going into the academic world for the wrong reasons. Competition for funding and resources kills good science.
