Can't have a bankrun if you don't allow withdrawls. Tether will not actually redeem your USDT for USD.

On a practical level, this is a bad view to hold. Individuals with an external locus of control have worse life outcomes. Having an internal locus of control, the idea that you do have a large amount of control over your life, results in be

If you have perf critical branches in your code, you should try and make them as predictable as possible. Sometimes that means using a different approach that is algorithmically worse, but has much more predictable branches. Classic example

Comscore’s data collection relies on users installing their shady monitoring software - I imagine users who install such software are significantly more likely to have a yahoo email account. Same issue with Alexa ranks.

GCP takes a really flexible approach with their cloudbuild CICD offering. Each build step is just a docker image URL, entrypoint, and args. Want to do something fancy and complex? Just pull in a python image and call your python script. But

They have every incentive to release the results - if they showed that the market was undervaluing advertising.

Publishing content relating to security can be seen as a kind of challenge. See the blogs of many security researchers for examples. I can't see why this same effect would not apply to OpenBSD to a certain extent.

If your software is ethical, why smear your own name by bringing a spurious lawsuit against a singled out individual like this? There are real concerns around privacy with software like this - what will happen if some criminal finds an expl

>Making sure that my PATH variables were set up correctly This is a pretty common issue to run into with developer tooling on Windows, regardless of the language. It would be nice if the go installer added its install dir to the PATH aut

Charging for developer tooling is really hard. Over-monetizing their dev tooling was a significant contributor to Microsoft's loss of dev mind-share over the last decade. Free software took over the world because any kid in their bedro

The docker tools themselves ARE cross platform, but 99% of docker images in the wild are based off Linux, and have ELF binaries inside. Windows does not have equivalents for every single Linux system call. This is why you need WSL. You can

One of the biggest impediments caused by the C++ standards committee is the tight scope of the standard. Anything outside of the language/library spec is entirely outside the realm of standardization. So any tooling improvements (depen

I think the metaphor there is similar. The church did not historically take kindly to individuals publishing "their version" of holy texts without sanction of the church.

The argument in favor of allowing shorts is that they provide a strong monetary incentive for private investors to investigate and expose financially fraudulent companies.

Overseas, Google told news outlets "wave the fee or we remove your results". The Australian law has a new unique element forbidding this practice.

The situation with backporting security fixes is still the same. Debian could backport the fix to any node/go lib the same way they backport security fixes to C libs. The only difference is that a backported fix in a language that uses

Sure they may have to fiddle with the dependency tree, but Node & Go both have well defined dependency formats (go.mod, package.json). It should be relatively easy to record the go.mod/package.json when these applications are built

I'm not entirely sure the security argument makes sense here. If a library is API compatible, does it matter if it's been vendored or not? If it's not vendored, you release the new build and be done. But if it's been ven

I am worried here that the alternative we'll end up with is applications that rely on vendoring will end up distributed entirely outside the Debian repositories... hopefully with go get/npm install, hopefully not with "downlo

This was originally a metaphor used by a judge to support restricting the speech of anti-draft/anti-war campaigners. I don't think it's a good example of appropriate censorship.

The feature needs to be implemented using some kind of regularly updated local database, rather than requiring a phone home every time.

In theory I like channels, in practice I find them challenging to program with. The fact that only the sender can safely close a channel is frequently frustrating.

Sure, I'd have the same n+1 problem. But this time the frontend devs will notice it when they try to use the API. With GraphQL our frontend team doesn't reason about the backend performance characteristics of their queries until t

It's easy to spin up a server. Spinning up a server that can actually access your data in a way that has reasonable performance is another matter entirely.

Sure, but the design of GraphQL, and the majority of the GraphQL backend tooling, lends itself to performance issues much more strongly than a boring REST API. I don't know if there are alternative backend tools, but my experience has

A downside of "200 for everything, error in the body" is that it locks you out from using off the shelf API monitoring tools. Now you need some custom monitoring tool that can read & understand your custom error bodies.

With go's new module system, managing dependencies is quite pain free.

I very much doubt that anyone in big tech wants to open the can of worms that is GPL enforcement.
