One surprising thing to keep an eye out for is that many web servers do not use the content-type headers when receiving json data; they simply parse the text as json regardless of its stated type and go from there. This means that requests

The entire line of thinking just seems to me like it is bending over backwards to avoid just... having income taxes and a social safety net.

That's not arbitrary code in the security sense though. It's the very narrow range of things which are permitted to run in a javascript sandbox (more or less "things javascript can do in a web browser context, minus the ex

In my opinion a lot of the spicy regulatory issues around coins with private transactions are still not fully realized because none of them have mainstream adoption. The problem here is that Signal's goal to succeed as a mainstream en

The technology is cool, but I don't really know if I want KYC regulatory risk in my encrypted messaging client. I just want italics.

I have a similar pet theory that Baba is You has incredibly high predictive power for skilled application security people. It would be pretty heinous to hire based on that, of course.

I think they did a good job choosing a scene that is somewhat easier for CGI: artists have struggled for a long time to make acceleration and general changes of momentum line up with the way that objects do so in real life. It also makes t

I have made many many mistakes while flirting and somehow have survived unscathed by whatever you are referring to. The trick is not to treat professional networking events or contexts as a chance to meet a girlfriend!

As opposed to other externally-caused problems like natural disasters, beating eaten by lions, etc. I would guess that a large chunk of human history was dominated by these problems.

Although I've loved living here and generally am on board politically with the social welfare program, government policy here really seems to be messing with the housing market! Houses almost inevitably go for exactly the mortgage

I myself am quite fond of it actually! I was initially suspicious of Node at first and of TS as well, but like the author, I eventually gave it a try and liked it a lot. (Probably after many of the pain points had been worked out!)

The heuristic of "new JS tech is just needless complexity/over-engineering" is not a bad one to have in the JS ecosystem imo :)

The problem is that it doesn't keep working automatically, because federated servers are in practice a hot mess of mismatched versioning and application support.

I wish that the author had spent more time really thinking about _why_ communication has moved away from email, or why XMPP/IRC never really caught on despite being vastly older than these app competitors (hint: it is because they are

It's such an important point that's the core value proposition of vertical farming. Arable.land is unlikely to keep up with the combination of population growth and climate change. That's the whole point of the exercise! Solv

I found his politics around libertarianism to be a little ideologically incoherent, since he (correctly in my view) rejects the idea of labor/capital negotiations without unions to be fair and other things espoused in that essay. But

That's the dream :) but unfortunately it is quite difficult in practice, even when you are aware it is a potential issue. It seemed to make them more able to have nuanced discussions about some things, but much much more stubborn in t

It's kinda funny that in his rush to explain why the NYT article is a hit piece, the author has brought his own ideological froth to the forefront. I found a lot of Scott's articles about medicine and psychology to be great, and s

This line of thinking breaks down since those companies have a much larger pool of workers to draw from, but they are also competing against every other company who is hiring remotely in their country. In the end, employers are free to make

The amount of arable land in many countries has more or less _already_ peaked. It is certainly not growing fast enough keep up with population. The ability to make lots of good grow in places other than arable farmland is going to be very i
