By far the worst I ever experienced was ten years ago, in the final versions of Chrome that supported Java Applets, they had a massive list of ridiculous security and signing requirements to get a Java applet working for users. Took me week

I worked for a company that really focused on a specific algorithm question in the interview. The correct solution required solving a pretty complex indefinite integral, which basically selected for people with a math or physics background

Could one use this to say host a public docs site or blog? Does it have a backend server that needs to run or can I just upload a folder to S3 and have it work as a static site?

I bet the most significant factor is social group. If their friends are classmates are constantly talking about things they’ve seen on TikTok, then it’s going to be very difficult to keep your kids off it.

Humans, I would bet, could distinguish between two animals they've never seen based only on a loose or tangential description. I.e. "A dog hunts animals by tracking and chasing them long enough to exhaust their energy, but a cat i

You almost certainly want some sort of Audiomoth. They record at up to 380kHz and have all sorts of useful tooling.

This is extremely cool! I think the next step is to put both sides of the table under robotic control and have an online competition for the best foosball-playing AI. I would tune in every week to see different AIs duke it out.

Ha, from the title I assumed the group would try out a different piece of software every month (new database, library, programming language etc) and come back to discuss it as a group. Honestly that sounds more fun.

Buf Connect or any RPC design really is great. I'm sick of REST too. No more endless discussions about how to make this endpoint the most RESTful or how to cram a feature into REST that doesn't fit. "Oh you need an endpoint t

True - though with an Ethereum address he can also receive USDC on Polygon, Base, Arbitrum etc. Either way it's a simple transfer using Coinbase or Robinhood.

I can't figure out what it is or what to do when I open the home screen. I see a map with some glowing areas, but clicking on it does nothing. Clicking on the quotes in the top left or the logo does nothing. In the "about" pa
