While I do not always put my camera on... (sometimes I like wearing a raggedy old t shirt and taking a call from my sofa chair) I think this shows one major advantage to face to face communication which is human connection.

Wait... sigterm can be handled to gracefully handle shutdown of your pod... i.e. finish handling all existing requests before closing. I'm not sure the issue here, that sigterm is sent before removal from the load balancer? If you hand

" you can use the smartphone to re-record a pre-recorded fake video." I assume the intent is not to store solely a direct hash of the original video, but also the original file which can be fingerprinted, or the fingerprint itself

You can have an immutable centralized/federated system without using "crypto" though "proof-of-work", there are databases out there that provide immutable storage that don't require this overhead. Providing ap

I believe deep-fakes to be a serious threat to functioning democracies around the world. I would love to be on the front-lines fighting against this threat. I have submitted my resume: https://cphoover.github.io/ Have you a

" The underlying assumption that you can change the visuals without major surgery to the HTML is basically never true," I would disagree. I think an amazing amount can be done with CSS alone, but developers never take the time to

Nah I call bullshit. This is not how the world works. You don't needlessly waste people time. If you have decided to move on to other candidates, you inform the person rather than just leave them waiting on an unanswered zoom call. Thi

Some of these projects kinda remind me of the http tunnel over icmp/ping to bypass in-flight wifi restrictions. That was an interesting hacker news post a while back.

There is no way this is where the buck stops... after comment syntax people will look at compiler optimizations. It will change the language.

Of course I want it to get better. I just don't necessarily agree that a type-system = better, particularly in the way in which it's been suggested. Especially when you aren't talking about changing the internals regarding ho

I'm not sure how you would go from a static untyped language to a dynamic typed language. Pretty sure only the opposite is possible. You could have type-inference... but this is different from having a weak type system.

Scala is a perfect example of an overly complex bloated mess with so many foot-guns I can't even begin to count them. EDIT: I never said JS shouldn't evolve! JavaScript has evolved a ton! From better handling of asynchronous contr

What about the aspect of JavaScript having weak type system relegates it's use to only be used for forms? Is C only used for forms?

I agree. The TC39 committee process has had a lot of advantages in modernizing the language, but in the last 3-5 years we've seen the pace of merging new language features grow in an unprecedented fashion. There are advantages to evolv

Then use TS if you prefer. There are plenty of people who prefer languages like that are type-less, and are plenty proficient in it. If you want a strongly-typed static language, compile to a wasm target with typescript, or another language

Stop trying to make JavaScript into something it's not... If you want a type system Typescript works great, and it's very easy to set up. You even get debugging to the original uncompiled source with sourcemaps. If you want a stro
