This is amazing! Currently you can "cheat" by simply denying all requests as quickly as possible. This will give you the "security-conscious engineer" badge and a perfect score in terms of how many requests were proces

That sounds like the other extreme.

You can ask that question in the opposite way too: Why does the weekend still exist? Why aren't people working 24/7?

Almost like we needed some international worker's organization to put pressure on all relevant countries at the same time...

It's kind of understandable then that parts of the younger generations aren't motivated to continue that system? (Not just in the West, also in China, see "lying flat")

by xg15 5mo ago
Depends what your comparison is. Are you comparing with the EU, China or Ethiopia? Seems to me, the question is more why all that supposed prosperity doesn't translate to the living quality improvements one would expect.

by xg15 5mo ago
So then all the productivity improvements are nothing more than boosting the hashrate of your crypto miner? You have to do it to not fall behind, but once everyone has done it, we all end up back in the same spot where we started?

That's an interesting analysis. I wonder if that could also be some useful advice for evaluating companies: Don't only look at the individuals, but also how the company is organized and how the individuals are put in relationshi

All the native GUI toolkits are dead, but people can write entire essays now on a single HTML element. I guess that's progress?

Yeah, maybe a test could be: How much do you enjoy the time actually working on something vs the time going home and enjoying the things your wage enables you to have. Or as the sibling comment said, do you enjoy the vocation or the vacatio

by xg15 5mo ago
I think this even affects people who do see their vocation in tech. The field has become so vast with many subfields that you can easily find yourself in a different subfield than the one you were originally interested in - probably even

> These days you can use CSS to only show the message after a short delay. This sounds bad for accessibility though. Wouldn't the issue stay the same for screen readers or (legitimate) scrapers?

The result of equivalent deregulation would be slums and shantytowns. But hey, cheap rent! I don't think this is s desirable outcome either. Also, from the article: > In other words: you can buy a computer thousands of times more p

Ok, good to see that they checked that possibility. Looks like there was no situation in which the previous behavior could have been usable, so yeah, agreeing with the change then.

Context: There appears to be a steady increase of volcanic activity in the Phlegraean Fields, an ancient supervolcano near Naples. This tremor is the latest event in that chain. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P

Is the term "tokenmaxxing" now really used unironically and as a desirable thing?

Ah, that makes sense. So users were effectively cross-compiling the NaCL binaries for multiple architectures.

I don't think so. "sleeper" accounts are a thing. A more sophisticated spammer could create a "high-reputation" account over some time that only posts useful info, then turn up the spam after the trust level is high
