One thing I don't see mention regarding the existing US ACH (or whatever interbank) system is that there is absolutely no verification or security in this system. Just like verification of paper check signature and a whole lot of other

Yeah it sounds like Electron with React/JS UI talking to a Rust "backend". I would give them credit for keeping the important bits in Rust though

Isn’t it unfair to compare the overzealous first-world parents who try to push education more at preschool level to those parents targeted by GP, providing a “decent lower school education” to the poor? I think education is also high ROI, b

A good way to draw that line would be “what level of success is required to make a decent living, house, and typical luxuries of life” compared to your peers. For a software developer, this is not as hard as making a “hit”. A regular 9-5 jo

I would think it is better to start with a smaller amount - not zero just to make sure you are getting users who would be willing to pay the real (higher fee) later. Subsidizing to zero only works for those which either have a network effec

I have seen people taking the easy way out setting up dev environments where these security holes are ignored. Hopefully in some near future, everyone would use something like tailscale[1] or nebula[2] instead of taking the easy way out and

For the record, I don’t work for cloudflare. I was merely pointing out that failsafe and bulletproof tools for every situation is a myth in my humble opinion. If you have seen and work for organizations that know how to do this better, good

sorry, when you said first semester, I assumed you meant first semester of the 4 yr course, as in intro classes. But you probably meant first semester of this year. Either way, it is good to experiment. Thank you for doing that.

I think “extension” covers any custom code (even functions that need to import a c library), not just major db features. I have had to do it recently [1] to customize partitioning function to be the way I like. It would be great to do it in

Yes, I agree. Wording wasn't right. What I meant was that it is trying to define a universal target with runtime system interface and such. The only reason I drew a comparison was that both are trying to bring standardization, but in d

This kind of page-content-based ad targeting did exist way before fine tuned retargeting (say, search or audience/segment retargeting). There are whole bunch of companies that serve this exact market. The reason a more complicated reta

This can also work as a solution where the “setup” (of trusting CA) is baked in to the image. Then there is no ssh related setup until the day you actually need to ssh to the host. And you get the guarantee that no ssh login can happen unti
