Calling run-of-the-mill pump and dump schemers "smart money" offends the sensibilities. It's "smart" only in the most anti-social sense of the word, like believing it's "smart" to act in bad faith as

This is a decent rant, and I mostly share your frustration. But At least GCP and AWS have certificate authority products which essentially do work the way you want them to: https://cloud.google.com/certificate-authority-serv

This isn't a good analogy. Copyright is a real thing, and getting explicit consent from your contributors to use their copyrighted material is an important defensive measure.

I don't think the author misunderstands what the compiler is doing, just saying that it's probably unexpected behavior from the perspective of the program's author.

Yeah I don't generally disagree, but the coordination usually has a more specific goal with more specific actions. Like, let's spend a bunch of money to buy ads supporting some legislation so that we can get lower taxes. Let'

Yes, this reads exactly like it was written by someone who's never had a leadership role, and probably doesn't want to hold such a role, but deigns to know exactly the motivations of people in those roles.

This isn't particularly well-argued. Just a lot of handwavy grievance about "elites" as though there's some kind of coordinated conspiracy.

It's of course not the same. But technical interviews aren't always just about "does this solution you wrote actually work." A good interviewer will be paying attention to how you solve the problem and how you communicat

Selling part of your company to venture capitalists is a status symbol, and lots of people will chase the status symbol even when it's not required and they don't have a plan for how to spend the money should they get it.

Thinking about boredom as a "matter of kind" is just a special case of "matter of degree." The degree is just zero or not zero. There are lots of subjects that I have a cursory interest in, but then I'm done explori

Haven't looked at it, but I assume the use-case is opposite of your suggestion, i.e. CUE wants to offer some kind of plugin integration and embedding a WASM runtime is the safest way.

In the olden days of Twilio I implemented a similarly-useless datastore on top of the Twilio webhook client's cookie jar. It was limited to like 10kb and in order to run a query you had to make a phone call so it was incredibly expensi

At the risk of taking the bait, I'll point out that WASM doesn't just run in web browsers.

What do you mean exactly by "refuse all cookies?" The specific method you use will matter a lot. If the first thing you do when you open the browser on a new machine is go immediately to Chrome's content settings and switch o
