I've found this to be a pain, so good to know this crazy hack. To be pedantic however, TLDR is supposed to come at the top of the page - we could all have just read that short part and gone on about our day....

I think your perception of what a high level person like Mudge does is a bit off. At Stripe he did amazing work, but it was mostly organizational. He built a world class team, defined a set of short, medium and long term goals that enabled

I read all of them over and over again as a child, then one more full reading in my 20s. They were even better as an adult. One of the oddities is that the names in English are actually much funnier than the original French names, e.g. Un

It was amazing to see the rapid progress on Excalidraw, all fueled by open source contributions but organized by Christopher. So cool to see what enthusiastic devs can hack together in short order

I cannot draw picture at all. Flow diagrams are no problem, nor is coding, as those rely more on a process or problem solving. I realized a long time ago I can hold all facets of large complex systems in my head, manipulate them (e.g. whi

I suppose that you can actually picture things in your head. I (being a software engineer) think of my aphantasia as being like having the hash of an image plus some metadata in my head. I can recognize that I've seen something befor

Interesting that some great animators also have aphantasia. I always assumed that my aphantasia and complete inability to draw anything at better than a 5 year old level were related, but it seems some have developed an iterative process t

Matz has stated that it’s unlikely to happen for years (2040 was mooted recently). So, your strategy is more likely to leave you with a less scalable and more buggy code base for years to come. Sorbet is compatible with existing Ruby, requi

I wonder how prevalent this behavior is. Mozilla behaves the same towards browser extensions, which put business depends on. They removed our extension multiple times, each time before asking for something different, be it uncompressed sour

If you create a new Gmail account, as many people do, you can still be tracked with that. Using the same email address on multiple sites allows data aggregators to match your profiles from each site to build a very comprehensive picture of

We hadn't considered it, but it's an interesting idea. We'd have to think through how to make it work, there'd be some interesting interplay with routing and mail servers.

(co-creator of Maskmail here). That's in our plan for future updates, at the least allowing users to opt in to using many different domains. Many other features in the pipeline too, please feel free to send any ideas you have to suppo

The response that I've gotten, after complaining repeatedly, is that the team simply has no time to look at any externally reported issues, and that it's essentially a waste of time opening an issue. This makes me very sad (as an

Yes it is. Stripe can do this with three (badass) engineers while the hundreds of other engineers continue to build their applications in Ruby. Stripe's Ruby code base is far larger than their Scala codebase, with each being used for

This is so exciting to see - I'd love some more canned examples to show the complex edge cases this catches in Ruby. For those unsure of what this is, it's the Ruby Typechecker that Stripe are working on

True, but this is easily detected. It’d have to provide tokens to the page, which would fail 100% of the time when sent to the Stripe API. These types of attacks are really only effective when difficult to detect, and therefore allowed to r

while this post is about the more general attack vector, its worth pointing out that if you use a modern credit card tool like Stripe Elements it is impossible to steal credit card numbers as they are embedded in an iframe and your page jus

Yes, that's a real problem. I took my Model S P85D to the track (fun, but felt really heavy in corners) and had a concussion for 3 weeks afterwards. And that was just Insane mode, not even Ludicrous. The Roadster should come with a h

Do you have a reference for the statement that Chevy is selling more Bolts than all Teslas combined? This sounds farfetched.

Fair comment. However it's fairly clear that there's a difference between a complex web application which pushes a library to its limits, and a page describing that application. The author must have known this and thought it'
