I had not known about JOSE and other subsequent “standards” until this article. Everyone knows JWS is a dumpster fire and to continue to pack on additional “standards” on top of it??? The original medium blog post seems fine to me. Sounds l

Tangent: for people on the job interview circuit, wordle is basically a modified on hangman game. It's worth coding an algorithm here here in case you're asked to do a take home hangman code up!

Goto wordle, right click “view source”, click and view the “main.<hash>.js” file. Search a word from previous answers, there are 2 arrays that the game uses to check with. Copy those and that’s the dictionary. Spoiler alert: the firs

The GP has a good point - I was about to write a long HN reply about being able to sort or show the “best” masks. Saw the “list doesn’t show scores” on mobile led me to this comment. As a consumer, when I land on that site, “what’s the bes

I suspect some or most of this secret sauce is more like institutional knowledge and not one single person knows how the whole system works (to produce high quality chips at scale). Or maybe there IS one person, but that’s the CEO/foun

I’d also suggest that some therapy session for yourself seems to be in order. The unsaid things sound like on the lines of “they had good fortune, but why don’t I have it”. Hard questions, probably not fit to be answered over a text forum:

I think you hit the real point that the VCs gloss over and rationalize as “users don’t know they want it”: > most internet users don't care about decentralization in the slightest. Users do care about privacy and (shared?) ownership

Anecdotally - again, at least for tech and not the whole market. It does really boil down to if your company has a culture of documentation, reading and writing, before needing to interface with someone in real-time. Anyone who’s contribute
