The archive isn't even open to the public, why should the public donate games then?

You should take a look at markojs, it's also html-first but the syntax is IMHO more elegant as it extends html (especially the alpha of 6.0 syntax)

overload is very useful, but I find some people mistakenly think it actually modifies the runtime function signature to do multiple dispatch, so I do try to avoid it in favour of simpler functions whenever possible too many overloads can be

I don't fully disagree, but the yield context manager approach is very common when writing test fixtures, you do: # setup yield resource. # teardown Not that it makes it any less magical, but at least it's a consiste

Always the way with these, makes you wonder if the crazy expensive ebay listings (and maybe even some sales) are part of the marketing campaign.

And way before the current wave of LLMs, I did some consulting for a company that provided these kind of summaries over a decade ago, and I’m sure they weren’t that early themselves

Man, I remember when you used to run the unofficial HN job board, I sent you a role to post there and you did (probably the first role I ever was involved in hiring for!), I spent the rest of the day bragging to people in the office about h

I wrote myself a similar decorator for a completely different purpose – ensuring a function I'm going to serialise over the network doesn't have any outside dependencies This is actually a cleaner API so might switch my code to it

they should track the office furniture provenance with blockchain, that way you could verify what startup it came from, and then when your startup fails and you sell the aeron chairs again it can be an added bonus to the item value.

I've worked as an FDE in a company that followed a similar approach – any work we did for a customer was still our IP and licensed as part of the software package, so we could then generalise it through our product org It's not qu

What I mean is a lot of sites will add tracking cookies like say through a google analytics tag before the user has actually accepted them. Then, if the user clicks to reject cookies in the banner they remove the tracking cookies etc – but

My point is that if the tracking settings came from the browser whether it was DNT or another one, they would actually be used to track people more effectively by bad actors

by mpeg 2y ago
What I find funny about the whole thing is that the grand majority of companies with cookie banners are not implementing them correctly, and therefore are still in breach of the law. I see constantly banners on sites that set tracking cooki

I don't think DNT settings were not considered – they were probably discarded as they hurt user privacy. Fingerprinting tools use the DNT setting as an extra flag to identify the user, so having it set to a non-default means you actual

It took me a minute to grok what this was for, but I think I like it It doesn't really replace any of the tooling we use to wrangle data at scale (like prefect or dagster or temporal) but as a local library it seems to be excellent, I

At least in the UK day rates are extremely common, much more than fixed price for individual contractors. I actually prefer fixed price with the right client – as sometimes the actual work ends up being say 2-3 weeks stretched over a couple

I think hourly attracts cheaper clients that will want you to be extremely exact in your timesheets. Day rate clients often don't necessarily care what you do with the time as long as your deliverables are being met – but it still help

They're not doing this, but a lot of people abuse the system to enter on a tourist visa and then do work while there, which isn't legal.

Is this a US thing? In the UK employee tax is the employee’s to pay, not the company. Even if the company technically transfers it directly to the tax agency it’s not really their money. EDIT: I guess we do have employer tax as national ins

I don't understand why that's not the default, or at least a choice. I'm not super keen to share my exact location just so I can look at a city-wide map

According to Twitter they removed it due to a legal notice from Dotpe, author still seems to believe he was just accessing public data unfortunately which does not look good for him should Dotpe choose to take it further

So for example in the UK with the computer misuse act, intent matters. If you intentionally change an id because you expect you will be able to access other data it becomes a crime. Your example is flawed because in this case the private da

by mpeg 2y ago
Yes! You as a user are not meant to knowingly access data that does not belong to you. Even something like changing the id from 1 to 2 is legally considered unauthorised access. It would be different if for example the application was showi

by mpeg 2y ago
Unfortunately that is not how the law works, at least in most countries. As soon as you enumerate ids regardless of whether there is any security in place it is unauthorised access and it's illegal.

Not just cabin crew, a lot of the time anyone flying standby is offered the jumpseat if there are no other seats available out of courtesy. Especially if they are an airline employee, but often non-employees too.
