Calling print() opens a print dialog in Javascript. The error-handling code in this project is doing the wrong thing. It's not an example of a wild Javascript-specific error, just an example of untested error handling code doing the wr

The ipad shows up just like another monitor to the Mac. You can move your mouse into it and drag windows to and from it. The ipad seems to just be a dumb display (and touch input) when connected. I believe it requires a USB-C connection.

The article describes a way to use one database for all users, and mentions cases like "each user can see all posts, but can only see the author field on posts they made". The difference between that and a database-per-user design

Bitcoin mining wasn't invented just to be an egalitarian "everyone can earn money from their computer" sort of thing. The decentralized design that Bitcoin uses needs people to do lots of processing work, the people doing thi

One way to test for humility is have them do a programming challenge that isn't too difficult (it's not about whether they remember the algorithm for merge sorts), but has a few common pitfalls and arbitrary choices, and see how t

I've got a comment comparing IPFS to Dat up in the Dat thread that's up now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20162881 tl;dr: I feel that IPFS is the smaller more tightly scoped project that fits better into t

Assuming Cloudflare is being used, then the effort on your side is to run "ipfs add -r directory_of_your_site_content" on a machine that stays up (or a pinning service), and then you copy the hash into a DNS record. The gain is th

IPFS doesn't require git, and it's licensed under MIT. IPFS doesn't have any concept of file or directory versioning; are you mixing it up with Dat? I'm not sure what you mean by "isn't rooted in HTML/http

Right, which is why you'd cut out asymmetric step if possible (obviously not for the general HTTPS case, but okay for backups) or replace the asymmetric step with quantum-safe asymmetric crypto. What confused me was that the parent pos

Isn't AES-256 safe from quantum computers? I thought it was mainly assymmetric encryption that's completely breakable with quantum computers.

I don't think much of anyone makes stuff for old Chrome versions given how aggressive Chrome is about auto-updating. Chrome doesn't have any official options to disable auto-updating as far as I know.

If the evil demon theory made specific predictions that turned out to be right and weren't predicted by other theories, then it would be a useful theory. It's possible for a theory of a super-universe to do that. Imagine if we cam

There are still ways we can reason about it. If we come up with a model of a super-universe and then find that model says that universes like ours are more likely to exist, then it can be evidence for the super-universe. We could possibly u
