For backup scenarios, you can encrypt your data before sending it to Google/Amazon. Filecoin even accommodates (or at least plans to, from what I've read) for nodes that want to store only certain types of content based on legalit

Why do you think this is different than hosting a normal website with file uploads? Literally millions of people have made such websites (especially around 2000-2010).

It's an issue with "the UNIX way". I'm not bashing on composability, but the fact that "the UNIX way" is just composability delivered in a bloated, error prone way. Specifically, the problem here is that git, l

Because it says [--upload-pack=<exec>] in the manual. Whatever that means. The problem here is obviously that git is a user interface and not really meant to be called from code (contrary to what CLI supremacists believe).

I mean yes, web ads have been used to hack people for decades. Just put your code in the ad and steal his cookies (and the next 10 issues after that gets patched by the ad service). It was a favorite topic in blackhat presentations. At the

Why would Google be recording your mic and using it for ads where they would just be caught for doing it? I mean it's completely possible. But more likely just confirmation bias. Speaking of Occam's razor, we should just dump mode

I remember that. In the early 2000s you could download any game from Steam's servers, even ones you don't own. Counter Strike Source originally had a format string vulnerability in player name. Setting your name to %s will crash t

PHPBB era forums would let you authenticate by putting a session ID in the URL. No cookies needed. There are many ways to do authentication without cookies. There's also basic auth. The whole "we use cookies" thing is a weird

The idea that people will go through these popup menus for every site they visit is just insane. It goes to show how governments and standards bodies really have no clue. When opening a hyperlink, you aren't meant to establish a relati

I used IDEA once and it failed to parse or validate my Java code because it lacked the same understanding of generics as javac. So I would be developing my codebase with various red marks everywhere and no confidence in the code navigation

I see programming as manipulating a bunch of semantic objects. Syntax is just the (bad) user interface to this. This shouldn't rely on a natural spoken language at all. For example instead of `case` or `if`, there could (and should) ju
