It may not be buried. I might have just turned it off. I always turn it off right away. I consider pinging a major cause of paranoia (see NextDoor), an invasion of my community’s privacy, and honestly I live in a safe area and insurance cov

There's also many other options. My buddy works 15 hrs/week at a non-FAANG and non-startup tech company making 200k base. It's not FAANG money but it's still very good and he has a lot of free time.

Their goal IS the startup environment. By being in a startup, they have already achieved their goal. This isn't tech related but I have a friend that buys failing retail businesses and fixes them. She could just chill and make a lot of

Honestly usually a forum dies because the community itself died first and no one cares about the thing anymore. Google Groups may have lasted this long but as far as I’m concerned, it already died long ago and there was no reason to even go

Wym Back in the 2000s you could just use Microsoft Frontpage, pay for a web host, click upload and your static site would be online in a few hours. I’m sure there’s still some variation of that out there.

Some people love that kind of stress though. Like some people like working hard so they can up front all their work and retire earlier. And others like coasting so they can live their 20s before it’s gone. Different strokes.

Amcrest is pretty good as long as you get an ONVIF-compatible model. Their PoE cameras are better than their Wi-Fi models, but I found that their indoor Wi-Fi models are not bad. I haven't had any luck with their outdoor Wi-Fi models t

Oh they definitely do sell it. And the more money you spend the crazier it gets (cross-camera facial recognition? you can go full blown surveillance on your neighborhood). I bought a Synology NAS and I just added cameras on my home network

Companies can already do that without AI. Why would you legislate just AI and let some other company discriminate?

Sure but you can’t ban something without knowing what it is yet. And if you try, you end up writing something vague that doesn’t actually fix the problem and instead bans something else. Case in point is the EU having to write something vag

Still, technology didn’t make for a significant productivity gain. One human wasn’t getting more done — one human was simply being paid less for the same work (arguably worse work). IMO it’s more of an example of globalization and specifica

It’s very surprising when people talk about AI but not talk about the Industrial Revolution. The power loom hugely changed the world. You don’t have to write a substack about your opinions — just read a history book. Second, Marc quotes out

If those two pieces of code do different things, it’s a bad library plain and simple lol. I’ve implemented this pattern with mobx and those two pieces of code are equivalent. In my opinion: - Unidirectional data flow patterns prevent a clas

Ok but your experience is totally unrelated. This thread is about making prototypes which are one time jigs. The reason businesses aren’t making 3-4 jigs a day isn’t because they can’t but because they don’t want to. But if you’re prototypi

Well I mean your experience isn’t any different than applying for a job that uses Python when you’ve only used C++. Sure, they can train you to learn Python, but they’re specifically looking for a Python developer. They’re not looking for a

It makes sense for a change about doors. Doors are old as time. Everyone understands how doors work. The impact of a door change is straightforward. There are relatively few moving parts involved in a self contained door (figuratively and l

I think it has failed because the industry is moving way faster than most people can keep up. Even your average developer isn’t going to be aware of security changes in the industry to know what’s important or not. It’s going to be even les

I think the issue is that phone companies weren’t prepared for their services to be used for such high security tasks. For many decades, your phone was just mostly for keeping up with friends and family. 2FA wasn’t even that popular until m

I think why regulation hasn’t happened is because the computer industry has changed so quickly. Two-factor auth wasn’t even a commonly accepted best practice two decades ago. And regulation takes a while to create and put into practice and
