The tool of choice for cutting undersea cables & pipelines seems to currently be tankers dragging anchors across the seafloor. There's no economically viable protection able to withstand forces like that.

I don’t remember how we debugged it at the time, but I’ve run into very similar symptoms that were caused by clock skew between client & servers. Increasing the validity window to both past & future by a longer period helped resolve

This is never going to be viable. Even existing short undersea cables are difficult (impossible?) to protect from sabotage, let alone one that would span an ocean.

> But it is much much faster and imo less nerve wracking than waiting for western union. I have a feeling you don’t do international transactions. It’s not a binary decision between Western Union and crypto.

But in this scenario, the amount of money doesn't change. It's just a matter of defining what percentage of the total salary cost of employee is attributed to the employer vs employee. For example in Estonia, if you hired somebody

Comparing gross/net ratios across EU countries doesn't give useful information since different countries define them differently. Something like total payroll cost / salary fund per employee vs net would be more appropriate.

I wouldn't touch a React project without Typescript. But if you use something like Web Components (or Stimulus etc) where you compartmentalize small bits of UI into distinct reusable components, JSDoc gets you 90% of the benefit of Typ

I don’t think most people have the space to fit a 24U rack at home. Or tolerate the noise and power consumption of typical 19” hardware. Or cost.

Aren’t most business apps almost exclusively glorified CRUD? Like the sort of CRUD stuff Rails is amazing at. Those are basically all boilerplate, it’s more of a question of which flavor of boilerplate you need for a given use case.

Not sure about Ruby in general, but Rails is an excellent candidate for LLM assistance. It’s very much convention over configuration, been around since forever and there isn’t a question somebody hasn’t already asked on Stack Overflow.

It would be stupid to discount the effect that artificially limiting energy exports and using it for blackmail before and during the full-blown Russian invasion is naive. IIRC my nat gas prices went up like 10x compared to the previous year

On the other hand, using React means you'll have a 2nd source of state (form & navigation at the very least) that needs to be maintained and tested for edge cases. Everything needs to be validated 2x, since you can't trust any
