So... you mean that almost all your friends have licked a Switch game of yours? Not my kind of fetish but ok. :)

Like it or not, people had to be really creative to get things done the way they wanted. Their creativity paved the way for new features, whether with HTML, CSS, JS, security, and whatnot.

I thought Vault covered both use cases. Thanks!

I'm surprised there's no mention of Hashicorp Vault. Maybe a misunderstanding on my side on why they differ. Can someone care enough to explain this to me?

Thanks for the info I missed (and/or was too lazy to search). Yep, cryptobros it is.

Yes, we need answers to these ! I'll add one: why does the thread mention "cryptobros" about buyers when the auction was nothing related to crypto in any way? Is it just becoming a generic insult to dumb people or am I missin

I am just discovering Tinybase but by reading the docs and API, if both are true to their word and hold their promises: wow!!! Everything clicked quickly for me and the API covers the basic use cases and more. Of course, reading docs doesn&

It needs to be wondered whether drawing a face or winning a game of go may or may not actually be real intelligence, only very narrow. We like to think that AI is only statistical models, which may be true (is true?), but we have no idea th

Both the A and the I in AI are debatable terms. The sole definition of intelligence is under heavy load of reconsideration the last decades with the emergence of a better knowledge of animal cognition, for example.

Well executed, usable strictly speaking but practically useless. Perfect!

> I'd compare wine snobbery to the coffee snobbery that is about beans that have to be eaten by a cat and pooped out to be "good". That is a profoundly unfair comparison, but ok.

Coffee snobs are leagues ahead in terms of snobbery of any other snobbery I know. And I am from a wine heavy culture, so born and raised in snobbery. And your comment highlights everything that can be irritating about coffee enthusiasts. Ev

Intelligence services are not a random subset of humanity, though. As one of us two seem to have a definitive argument, I guess we'll have to stick to our beliefs for now. I'm more curious now to know how much of it all was plann

In France, the french secret services (DGSE) worked hand-in-hand with the production of a TV show called The Bureau ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4063800 ). The services were supposedly lacking diverse resources for bot

Aside from military, this tactic became obvious to me when space became (again) a theater of conquest around 2010, involving both private and public sectors, internationally. The narrative around space became very strong, sending messages o

SvelteKit enables the BFF (backend for frontend) pattern nicely, meaning it can proxy and stitch together your actual API, exposing SPA-specific endpoints. In the other hand, I don't see how you could use it as a primary backend, it ju

Stupid business idea: KaaS, keylogger as a service. "When Ctrl-Z is not enough" As a french, I can only call this service Patricia. Because Patricia Kaas of course.

Yes. Make it web scale. Also, think early on about your compensation packages. You don't want to lose a 10x engineer to a FAANG, do you?
