Reminds me of that old guy in the documentary Ren Faire who absolutely refuses to step down and pass power down to the next generation.

It's funny how facebook got so political all the normies left, then they downranked political content so much that the political people left too. Facebook is a ghost town now.

Cookie stuffing is criminal fraud because the offender is receiving commissions for sales they did not generate, thus defrauding legitimate advertisers and companies paying for the advertising. Obtaining money by means of false or fraudulen

Link to Nightshade: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html This is fascinating. Would be great to have a web interface artists can use that doesn't require them to install the software locally.

I do like that mindset as that definition of FUM is much easier to achieve than FIRE. However, I always assumed FUM meant you could be so unlikeable or disagreeable as to be unemployable and still be financially fine.

At no point in that writeup does Honey say they use cookie stuffing to fraudulently steal affiliate attribution when no discount code is found. This is a serious crime: people have gone to prison for cookie stuffing affiliate codes (see:

Google removed chrome extensions that do cookie stuffing before: https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-removes-two-chrome-ad-b... PayPal's Honey extension should be pulled by Google for doing the exact same thing.

I think it's implied with FUM that you have enough money to not work for the rest of your life. This is because without the need to work you have total freedom to set your schedule.

Honey by withholding and hiding better coupon codes submitted by users, was betraying the service they marketed for users and were harming them with higher prices.

BGG has a lot of problems with its ranking system, but one of those is that it favours complex games. The reason being is that complex games are played by fewer people and those who do master it are more likely to give high ratings. Wherea

Elixir/Erlang is not a fast language per se, in part because of this functional memory copying. Its apparent speed emerges when doing tasks that require high concurrency or parallelism. If you are doing brute force calculations there

I've run into this problem as well but I'm reticient to embrace deleting the events table because that data is the very heart and soul of what we are doing with information technology: tracking facts and values. (Facts are immuta

There can be an element of politics to rejecting a referral hire. Your coworker may not want you to be stacking the team with "your people". Petty and sad but it happens.

Yeah always tracking and uploading everything seems nice but brings with it security concerns. For example, if I generate a secret key or store a private keyfile into the repo before remembering to gitignore... err I mean graceignore it,

I find Rubocop extremely over-opinionated and enforcing style conventions I actually disagree with. You can disable rubocop rules, but as far I know you can't specify which style in rubocop you want code refactored to, so in those i
