Yeah I wouldn’t believe it if I had not seen a few of these firsthand. So much wasted effort…

Most people didn’t run their own irc network either, they just operated a channel and backed up the data themselves.

From what you’re describing it sounds a bit like a crypto honeypot … there’s a lot of sites that pose as crypto exchanges but are actually scams, they deliberately expose credentials and have accounts with (fake) millions of dollars in cryp

People are also fine running their own Discord servers, just like they did IRC channels/networks back in the day.

You're missing the point, the game developer obviously has to buy into the ecosystem, but the difference is with the current status quo in-app purchases are not really owned by the customers, so even if another game developer wanted to

Yes, tickets with no context are trouble waiting to happen, as everyone will come out of the meeting with their own understanding of what needs to be done. The real problem is not having documented the necessary context to understand the ti

While I understand that some people want to work in public service because they find the kind of work more meaningful; I think those reasons are a bit weak. From what I can see, the annual leave for these roles is 30 days per year, this is

Honestly, not as a big a deal as some people make it. First off, you'd have to assume the attacker knows the bcrypt hashes are bcrypt(md5(password)) – an attacker wouldn't always know this Also it assumes there is password reuse,

Yes, true, I don't think ipfs is meant to be censorship-resistant though, so finding the IP of hosts doesn't seem like a big deal for the project goals. My point was more that the NFT metadata itself could still be usable x years

Some high value collections like BAYC have frozen metadata, so it can never be changed. I do know some other big collections serve images from AWS or their own domains, this happens because it's extremely expensive at current gas price

Kinda? Most things are reproducible. Limited edition sneakers are reproducible, and yet scarcity makes them worth thousands of dollars. Is it stupid to pay $10k for some hard to find sneakers? maybe, but people do it because they have the m

There's multi-billion-dollar blockchains where transactions and storage cost a tiny fraction of what they do on Ethereum.

The idea that people put the URL in the blockchain is misleading and people keep repeating it as a mantra. Yes, you put a URL on the blockchain but it's almost always a URL to the ipfs protocol e.g. ipfs://QmVc6zuAneKJzicnJpf

Most IPFS gateways allow you to pin content, plus they will automatically pin popular content to keep it available.

Almost all NFTs are hosted on IPFS. Opensea shows a CACHED version of the image, because pulling them directly from IPFS puts unnecessary strain on the network and is comparatively slow. The contract for the NFT generally just points to an

Kinda missing the point of NFTs there, it's a collector's item and I can't spend $2.6m to buy the actual physical book, but I could spend $2.6k to buy an NFT with 1000 editions which was minted by the owner of the physical bo

In finance/fintech and anything related, DBS checks are very common in the UK. FWIW I've been checked by several employers throughout my career – and generally none of them warned me beforehand, I just got the letter from DBS lett

The author very much did try to do that, doing requests with async APIs is often the most performant way to do them because under the hood they use IO async primitives like epoll/kqueue/iocp depending on the environment they run o

When people talk about salaries, I feel they always just talk about SF. I was an SMTS at Salesforce (also not HQ) back in the day on $150k~ total comp, which people in this thread regard as junior pay; and that was on my initial stock grant

AdTech gets a lot of flak, but I did spend quite a lot of time in my career building tools on the opposite side of this. We also did reverse engineer what the big networks like Google were doing but with the objective of learning the best t

I know some people that made tons of money simply for setting up the arbitrage, shell companies that would sell ad space to big brands promising top tier media orgs and then turn around and buy it directly from porn, gaming and piracy sites

I was once failed on a technical interview, partly because on the coding test I was asked to write a url parser "from scratch, the way a browser would do it" and I explained it would take way too long to account for every edge cas

I agree with this, when I look at the site I want to know how the editor works and what the pricing model is. You can include a link to a demo and the showcase sites elsewhere. It also feels what you're trying to sell is full 3D websit

Not actually as hard as you'd think; almost every new product in the Salesforce suite was once a separate company and they managed to integrate it just fine. When the startup I was working for was acquired, we first integrated with Sal

Discord is used heavily by OSS communities and other such projects; but I've yet to see it used by companies. It really doesn't target the enterprise customer, or even SMEs

It does makes sense; Salesforce has been trying to be the operating system for work and real time communication was lacking. When I was there, we used Chatter in org62 and it was awful. Yet a lot of time and money was invested into trying t

You are right, I hadn't looked too much into it. It seems like this mishandling of urls ending in . happens to lots of other UltraDNS customers ge.com. art.com. iata.org.

They've likely been using them since before they were acquired by Neustar, and therefore they probably have the on-premise edition, while new customers would be pushed towards the cloud version. It happens very often with enterprise so
