The title of the article is “The Duality of Web3: Privacy vs. Transparency” and it discusses challenges that need to be solved in Web3. The message of the article is certainly not that “Web3 Doesn’t Care About Your Privacy”. The title of th

Once you start hitting Python’s limits, understanding how the interpreter works (which is implemented in C) will be of great help. You could take weeks 1-5 of CS50 [1] to learn enough C to get by. The course continues from week 6 with Pytho

You really have to admire the level of gameplay at AWS. At one stroke: 1. They created a recurring viral (pun not intended) marketing meme. 2. They gained credibility with game devs. 3. Boosted team spirit.

Nice article overall, but worth mentioning that the Romanian nationalism the author finds so endearing also has a dark side that is often directed against the Hungarian minority.

I think the title is highly misleading. The main point here is that Zillow simply had no idea what it takes to be a market maker and their pool was picked off by savvy traders. Good tweetstorms with technical explanations on how that happen

Like when an exception in Cloudflare Workers would display a page telling you to look in the logs for the error, but it took me days of back and forth with support to figure out that THERE ARE NO LOGS. Or Cloudflare Pages not having atomic

I'd love to love this, but I've been bitten so many times by flashy Cloudflare products that sound amazing on paper, that I'm extremely sceptical of anything that the company offers at this point. If it sounds too good to be

The problem with this approach is that it turns open source adoption into a procurement process: the developer who wants to use your projects needs to go through the legal department etc. So if there is any alternative option, employee devs

Tbh if I wanted to fly under the radar, I’d use something that looks like a corporate VPN, but self-managed instead of Tor.

I won't link to projects to avoid the perception of a shill, but the keyword is "decentralized oracle". To be clear, I don't think this is a solved problem yet, and as always with crypto, just because a project claims th

There is a lot of experimentation going on in DeFi currently to solve the real world bridge problem.

Thanks for the insightful comment! Yeah, the way I presented the idea above, it's closer to a cooperative than an insurance company. I think it's more important for the buyers of the "insurance" to get their bugs resolve

Business: I want to make sure that if there are bugs in my OSS dependencies, they're fixed quickly. OSS dev: I want to make a living from my OSS work without starting a business around it or seeking employment.

Individual OSS projects aren't decentralized, but the process of building and distributing OSS mostly is (leaving GitHub is relatively low barrier). See iOS for a centralized ecosystem. If there was a central entity controlling OSS fun

This is a super undeveloped idea, but I was thinking about something along these lines: 1. OSS users pay a monthly premium for insurance on the software (incl transient dependencies) that is critical to their business. 2. Part of the cash f

I think the real lesson here should be to use managed services whenever possible. There is just no excuse to manage your own infra on the VPS level for a typical web app in 2021. There are a myriad of PaaS providers where legacy VPS setups

Usain Bolt doesn't run 10x faster than your average fit person. It's more like 2x. So it's fair to ask if there are factors other than innate ability at play when observing orders of magnitudes of differences in programmers&#

Torvalds once said [1] that the only scalable software development methodology is open source, and I tend to agree for two reasons: 1. The project structure, tooling and documentation that lets new contributors jump in quickly makes softwar
