Part of this I would attribute to the general collapse of western civilization that we seem to be witnessing. I think it helps to recognize this is what is happening.

As for exchanges, I would recommend Bitstamp [1]. It is the oldest crypto exchange & never been hacked (that i know of). The original owners sold out a few years ago, but it's still going rock-solid.

I can see how this sounds good, but my first reaction is that I think it is the kind of thing that would work great in a really good team that wouldn't even need it, and it would be awful for juniors in the kind of team that would get really excited about implementing it. Who wants to speak up when you don't know the ropes, you haven't gotten used to the social dynamic, etc? Seems to select for people with excessive confidence, who already have no difficulty advancing themselves.

This model seems insufficient and exclusionist to people who are socially withdrawn, or have a social disability, or come from a marginalized background, or any of the myriad reasons some developers already don't speak up. But it's a good starting point. I just would not implement it without additional frameworking to guide and encourage useful input from the juniors. In which case, if you're putting in the effort to understand why people aren't speaking more freely, this framework may be superfluous (or it could still be a valuable part of your practices).
Lovely bit of history, but I laughed out loud at this bit of legal WTF in the license agreement you must agree to before downloading the software:

"You may not and you agree not to: ...publish benchmarking results about the Apple Software or your use of it"

Perhaps 40 years later Apple is still embarassed about the performance of the Lisa?

So, maybe somebody here can emulate a Lisa and run Geekbench :)
"Tax evasion" is illegal and what the parent poster clearly meant by "taking cash". Companies (and individuals for that matter) take the entirely rational step to use all legal methods to pay as little tax as they can.

Additionally, receiving a refund indicates that Amazon overpaid on their income taxes and that the government agreed.

Also additionally, the figures you are throwing around are income taxes only. Amazon likely pays many other taxes far in excess of the net worth of anybody involved in this conversation. Implying that Amazon "paid zero taxes" without further qualification is wholly dishonest, and you know it, and you should stop doing it.

A tale from the close of the Crypto Wars.
Ideally, you want the number of letter combinations to roughly correspond to the square root of number of files you expect to store, to balance the number of directories with the number of files stored per directory. Assuming 26 letters, two letters allow 676 combinations, so the total expected number of files shouldn’t exceed ~457.000 (676 squared), or else each subdirectory runs the risk of containing more than 676 files on average (making it unbalanced with the number of directories).

More realistically, you would use base32 or hex encoding. For example, if you want to store up to around 16 million files (2^24) and use a 64-bit hash with hex encoding (16 hex characters), you would use the first three hex characters (12 bits) for the directory name (since 2^12 is the square root of 2^24), and the remaining 13 hex characters for the file name. As a result, the 16 million files would be stored in 4096 directories with roughly 4000 files each.

I have an example of the opposite: When I was quite young, I got into model rocketry as a hobby. Buying engines required a pyrotechnician's license, and I was too young to get one, so I talked both of my parents into applying for licenses. My dad had been in the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in WWII, so when he got to a question on the form that asked if he had any previous experience with explosives, he put something like "Yes, conventional and nuclear." His application took significantly longer than my mom's to process.

To reiterate half of what you've said, but maybe in a slightly different way, the defense security clearance process is designed to determine how likely you are to be incentivized or coerced into revealing classified information.

The point of the deep dive is not to prove you've always been an upstanding citizen, but to look for factors that make you an easier target for foreign intelligence services such as:

1. Do you have any financial problems that could make you easier to buy off? (Bad credit, gambling problems)

2. Do you have any (real or perceived) addictions that might impair your judgement or can be leveraged against you? (drugs and DUIs)

3. Are you currently attempting to hide any criminal activity that you could be blackmailed with?

4. Do you have any sensitive foreign connections or other possible allegiances?
I can confirm this regarding Mac development. I was part of the team that built FullPaint (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FullPaint) back in 1985. We had just a few Lisas to work with, and they were considered sacred.

Testing code required copying it onto a floppy disk and popping it into a Mac. We probably would have been a lot more productive if any of us had ever heard the words "unit test". (We were a young team, everyone in their early 20s or even late teens.)

Once I thought about this in the context of those code injection game hacks you sometimes see where people do strange, repetitive actions in-game that wind up writing instructions in RAM and eventually they can bootload Flappy Bird in Super Mario World[0], and how in reality that would look like an arcane ritual.

But realistically even if the universe were a simulation of some kind, it would be absurd to think that it was anything akin to a modern computer running a Unity game or something, even though that's where everyone goes because of The Matrix.

Yep. It could have been the other way of course. If it was LSW, I wonder, would people ask the same question? We'll never know, until they decide to do another renaming op.
Yep that works, you can either create a task in the editor for it (using the CLI), or you connect it to a GitHub Repo and install actions.

That said, it is something on our radar, being able to press a button for deploy from CodeSandbox would be valuable for many people!

This is really incredible work. If you’ve ever tried some of the more esoteric SVG features like filters and animations, you’re bound to have a horror story or three to share. In almost every case, Safari’s SVG performance lags behind Chromium’s offerings.

Last year I was designing an animated cloudy sky with a sunset. I created a reusable pattern for each cloud type, and added groups for different speeds of movement to give the scene a parallax effect as they scrolled from one end to the other. This proved to be borderline impossible to animate smoothly when more than a dozen cloud paths were in motion. The only fix was to instead move the path translation code to CSS. An instant jump in performance.

The next issue was simulating how sunlight would move across the surface of the cloud patterns. Every single attempt to use an SVG filter or light source would have devastating effects on the frame rate. In my experience, the most powerful primitives of SVGs are not suitable for any task that combines their powers, and as far as I can tell, SVG lighting currently has no use beyond a proof of concept.

I ended up using CSS to get something close to a smooth frame rate. Ironically, reaching for something like Three.js might've saved me a lot of headaches. It’s funny to think that a 3rd party runtime library for WebGL would have a better performance than a universally understood DSL for vector graphics.

I’m sure the web is full of low hanging fruit like this. The hard part is figuring out how we can reaching through the thorns of backwards compatibility.

Hey, take that back! 68k/ColdFire ISA is actually pretty well supported these days by compilers. Better than it was a few years ago. There are 68k backends for both GCC (again) and LLVM (maybe not as active).

It's probably the best supported "retro" architecture at this point.

Rest of your points are valid though ;-)

> a low-friction means to strongly re-authenticate on client devices having platform authenticators.

IE: People in big tech think everyone on the planet should have at least 2 modern devices and sign in to their big tech cloud accounts on all of their devices.

I'd also be willing to bet there's no thought given to de-authorizing a key, so when my parents/siblings/niblings recycle their 5+ year old devices without wiping them first they better hope there aren't any known security flaws for those devices.
As my Italian friend once said:

It's not... you can feel really good or bad about something, but also be completely open to having your opinion shaped by new information and be willing to switch. That's what it means. As opposed to strongly holding opinions (whether they are strong or weak) and actively resisting conversion attempts.

This should be fine: Using your phone as SMS 2 factor authentication is a separate thing as assigning the phone as "your phone" in your Google account (which works as an account recovery too).

If you don't have your phone setup as "your phone" and they clone your SIM they can use your number to get 2FA codes potentially, yes, but they still need your password to log in. Supposedly they won't have that

Neat idea for a project, and kudos for getting everything up and running!

Tried it once or twice, and the results are very hit or miss. "70s african funk without synthesizers" includes some stuff that matches the prompt, like Ofo the Black Company, but also includes more misses than hits: Herbie Hancock, War, Prince, the Ohio Players, and Sly & The Family Stone are all American. Seems like it latched onto "funk" and really went for it there. It's fun to give the bot a more vague prompt and see where it goes though.

Ultimately, my favorite musical "discoveries" have come from friend recommendations, or editorials like the Quietus or Bandcamp Daily. There's something about the social aspect of a personal recommendation that appeals to me, even if it's not as optimized as an algorithmic one. Many people don't have that sort of relationship with music though, so I could see something like this being pretty useful.

I don't feel comfortable speaking for ALL vegans, but in my house, we gently move spiders outside. We would also be totally fine with killing a mosquito. My general theory is that it is fine to hurt an animal if it attacks you first, but it's cruel to do it whenever it can be avoided. Just like all other forms of violence.

The only wolf evidence are alerts by a now-missing sentry saying "wolf" twice and "real wolf" once. Yet the conclusion due to missing sentry is 'wolf', and not only that, that there must have been only one wolf rather than a pack. If you don't have supporting evidence, this conclusion may be faulty, and the real fault may return.

My initial reaction is that there is no wolf. The sentinel began exhibiting a mental bug that reoccurred for 2 days until the sentinel broke and wandered off. I think the resolution should have an action item to continue closely monitoring sentinels for further bugs, and collect metrics to show proof of wolf. And, you know, maybe come up with an additional wolf countermeasure (if the fault was a wolf, it will probably come back)
> Here, dark patterns such as infinite scrolling, autoplay, and pull-to-refresh are in line with the user’s intention but foster technology addiction (Monge Roffarello and De Russis 2022), which represents an impairment of user autonomy

I argue, with James Williams in Stand Out of Our Light, that this is still a "subversion of users’ intentions". No one intends to get sucked into an internet hole and become addicted to technology. Williams points out this. While the effect may be in line with the intentions in the moment, at another level, one of existential intention, these dark patterns subvert our intention to be who we want to be.
Unfortunately we don't have such a thing. Especially in 1922, we didn't even have TIPS, or 100 year bonds. The best case scenario you're looking at something like 10 year treasuries at 4.3 percent[1] in 1922. Shorter durations will help match dramatic inflation moves things get weird in the great depression -- a bout of 10 percent deflation happened in 1933.

On that note, it's probably worth shamlessly plugging Base32H, which is my own take on base-32 inspired heavily by Crockford's: https://base32h.github.io/

Base32H has some advantages and disadvantages compared to Crockford's (see: https://base32h.github.io/comparisons#crockfords-base32 ); long story short: L/l is its own digit, 5/S/s are merged, and U/u/V/v are merged. In my totally-not-biased-at-all opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages enough to have warranted creating Base32H instead of just using Crockford's.

If I was willing to break from duotrigesimal, I'd probably merge 0/O/o/Q/q, 1/I/i/L/l, 2/Z/z, 3/E/e, 6/G/g, 7/T/t, 8/B/b, and 9/P/p. The resulting Base24H would hinder readability of encoded words, and would break the alignment to whole bits, but it's probably close to the optimal intersection of information density, unambiguity, and convenience.
The article provides a counterpoint: If you invested in "the market" in 1851, you'd still be underwater (in real terms) in 1932.

I agree, that's cool, but some contractors take it a step too far and bid projects on the assumption that they can replace unfamiliar techniques, materials, and design details with alternatives they can do more cheaply and easily, and then they make themselves into a problem much later in the project when the client doesn't agree to the alterations.

I think it's something that contractors even do in good faith. They read drawings and think, "Oh, I know a lot of ways to speed this project up, they're going to be super happy with my bid." They can see it'll be easier if they use a different material, move a door twelve inches this way, move the electrical to another wall, replace a difficult detail with an easier one, etc. They've probably worked on projects where those details are chosen without much care, and the client is delighted if they can speed up the project a bit by changing them.

Yep.

I am good friends with police officers and firmly believe that _most_ of them are good people trying to do good work.

I'm using a web based IDE for my dev, but I'm biased in that sense. The main advantage for me is that I can easily switch branches, as every branch has its own VM. + I can easily share in-progress work. I do use the VSCode integration, because I'm very used to VSCode.

That said, I've also spoken with people who use a Web IDE next to their local environment. E.g. they use a Web IDE for reviewing PRs or making smaller changes, and they use their local editor for feature development.
