   Most nations can coerce information from corporate entities within their nation, even information that corporation holds outside said country. To what extents that coercion can hold will of course vary by local laws, customs and the people

   I do a bit of both... I pay attention to new tools, libraries and languages. But will rarely recommend them initially. That said, I also tend to fight complexity to an extreme degree KISS/YAGNI are my top enterprise development keysto

   I've found Rust to be pretty enjoyable to work with in terms of Agent assisted development. Easier still if you have something you're trying to port or recreate in Rust for various reasons. There are definitely some rougher edge

   I think the biggest issue is there's a lot of difference between someone with a few decades of experience and someone who is just out of school who leaned on AI heavily to even get through school. When you are starting out, you don&#x

   My fear is something like this WILL happen in some places and complicate the world as a result, or at worst isolate access to specific countries with similar laws on identification.

   I don't need to know the details of how circumcisions in Brazil are going to be done in order to know that I don't want US tax dollars paying for it. Even if it is a shell game to buy off local politicians or influence foreign el

   Personally, I don't think corporate liabilities should be nearly as limited as they are and that something like negligent homicide from a company could/should potentially include the death penalty for corporate officers. In the c

   Your extrapolation makes absolutely no sense. I didn't say no government or laws, or advocate for any such thing. Try reading slower.

    I pretty much just buy a single lottery ticket now and then when the cash value after taxes would be over 100m usd. Basically it's a ticket to fantasize about the results for a few days, not a realistic expectation of anything. I&#x27

    The shim for node:crypto in the browser is likely a weaker implementation in JS than the node implementation... you can cheat and use the browser itself to get a UUIDv4... function uuid4() { var temp_url = URL.createObjectURL(ne

    The library is using node:crypto, but with a phone target, that's likely shimmed with a JS implementation...

    Assuming the phone is using the default JS engine, it's whatever is being shimmed for node:crypto package's random bytes method... which is likely weaker. I wrote a different implementation that cheats by using browser's meth

    I remember in the mid-late 90's how poorly the Exchange server ran that there was a nix server for inbound email just to throttle the ingress. When it was upgraded to a 4-socket server, there was concern when the *nix guys just let ev

    I've had to deal with image scans and my own approach lately has been to quantize to 16-color (grayscale via pngquant) and oxipng with zopfli set to max. Mostly so that the output can be easily used in a browser UI. Will definitely ha
