User of Firebase Auth here - got the same message and was similarly confused. Good to know I'm not the only one, but hope this gets resolved somehow. When Google was bragging about 30% of their code being AI-generated, the client ID ga

As a 90s teenager, cryptome.org was an incredible view into the hidden parts of the society. It's where I learned about Echelon surveillance years before its existance was admitted, numbers stations, crypto, spy networks, intermingled

I have sincere doubts that a single short (or even long) prompt is enough to get a working app/game beyond some trivial level of difficulty. And even if it were possible, such a thing would be interesting to only a very small subset of

I was online (in the US) since mid-90s as well, so definitely many of these artifacts resonate. That said, I was also a new transplant from Russia so was looking for anything I could find from my homeland - there was very little. I could pr

Entity Framework really is such a time saver. The PG adapter makes it a breeze not just with common queries, but also more recent stuff, like working with embeddings for vector search.

As a previous EM at a FAANG, I'm very conflicted by this post. On one hand, it is quite useful and representative of some of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that I wish I was aware of at the time that would've made my life easie

I have no issues with VB itself, but the technology is long obsolete and any organization that still has it somewhere in their business is taking on risk that should have been mitigated years ago. Realistically, these apps are not simple ap

End of life software running on top of end of life software. Hard to hire for this stack, especially anyone who cares about tech. Security and maintenance nightmare. Interoperability is a pain. Questionable documentation. It all works until

There are still companies running their web backends on classic ASP with VBScript. Not to mention VB6-based desktop apps. Thankfully fewer and fewer each year, but they exist.

Really curious what modern North Korean cinema is like, especially compared to the slick South Korean productions. One of my favorite childhood movies growing up in late 80s Soviet Union was Hong Kil Dong, a campy North Korean martial arts

Hey there. I spent a couple of years at a FAANG as an engineering manager. Impostor syndrome is extremely, EXTREMELY common. I had it, my peers had it, my direct reports had it. It's normal. Senior-level folks from non-big-tech compani
