These days, I'd be suggesting Apple buy Jaguar. Both brands have a reputation for design and customer satisfaction, and customers with a certain insensitivity to price. Jaguar are reinventing themselves as a BEV company with the i-Pace

Everything here looks awesome! Except gRPC... I thought gRPC was great until I had to use it in anger. JSON or CBOR for me! https://reasonablypolymorphic.com/blog/protos-are-wrong/

Assuming similar vehicles that come to a stop, both cars experience a deceleration from 70 mph to zero. That is the same change of momentum per vehicle as 1 car hitting a stationary wall at 70.

Event systems are not racey. An event is historical and immutable. The event source is a list of things that categorically happened. Commands can race each other, but the outcome (OrderPlaced vs OrderFailedBecauseItemOutOfStock) is definiti

The limitations should be well known. One of the first things I check when joining a financial software project is how the system represents money. I’m rarely surprised. (It’s inevitably floats or doubles)

You might want to mention that you are an anvil cofounder. Doesn't invalidate your point, but it looks a little disingenuous.

Poor UI around client-side certs isn't a law of nature, it's not a priority for browser vendors. It should be super simple. Once you're signed up, the exact same tech that lets a browser show you the green padlock with the na

Dusting off my usual response: mutual TLS (aka client side certs) could practically eliminate phishing. It would be simply impossible to give your credentials to a phishing site as they never leave your device. There's 2 things missing

Every solution needs to be robust in the presence of an adversary who is more technically savvy, motivated, organised, numerous and dedicated than an average user. That's why it's really hard. Any tool you give an individual to pr

The fact DDG can even get to the ballpark, let alone compete against an opponent whose budget is 3 orders of magnitude larger is astounding, and should be applauded.

GraphQL seems only slightly more sensible than exposing your SQL interface to the internet. Yes it makes sense from a client-side / front-end perspective, but that's because the server is just a [handwave]. Someone else's pro

Given the context, wouldn't 'out of the money' options make more sense? You win big if the price goes into the money.

Corporations are not Persons. Money is not Speech. Fix those (which also implies taking the money out of politics) and the rest will follow.

To me, being able to play again is vital if you're going to play a high-risk game. Eg. making 101 100:1 bets makes way more sense than risking everything on a single victory-or-bust gamble.
