Not if it’s evasion.

Closure library/compiler was the only real way to write a large SPA back in 2012+.

You had access to an amazing compiler with a standard library that was like having every npm module you could ever need but written by Google and well maintained without the security risks.

We still use it, and the only real “wish” we have is maybe if the jsdoc “type system” could just be replaced by TypeScript while maintaining all the rest of the library/compiler.

These are 99 times out of 100 an inside job.

I helped start an early (1998) Australian ISP in Sydney (a modem bank connected to an ISDN line) with a Linux 2.0 infrastructure (Slackware…) and Perl based billing system running on Postgres 96. I was 16.

The early Australian internet was a lot of fun.

People use it as an all encompassing term for any blockchain using service or product.

Been in the Web3 space as a side hustle for something like 2 years now and the only real usecase I’ve seen is something like USDC transfers over Solana.

Everything else is just a scam and/or ponzi.

Add to that that the price of coins is manipulated by market makers and exchanges (CEX and DEX) and it’s not looking good, honestly.

Regulation would actually improve the space a lot. Something like a national ticker for coins would go a long way to clearing out a lot of the scum.

Leave.

This is an amazingly non-succinct write up of why I love programming in Go.

I think it, I type it, it works and it works fast, with minimal cognitive overload.

We use Graal to sandbox a scripting language based on EcmaScript 6 for our app.

It’s great.

Yeah, I’m talking about FSD driving at speeds that mean certain death, not your standard cruise control+.

Do I trust Tesla to write software that works to a degree where I would entrust it with my life? No.

The team that builds the VW (and other euro makers) software also worked on Airbus autopilot.

Got to nerd out with one of the (retired) lead engineers there and the only thing he’d get into with full autonomous driving was a Waymo.

Waymo is basically locked to 25mph here in SF.

Letting a Telsa thing self drive at over 100kph is actually kind of wild.

They only sent the “you’re being delisted if you don’t do this” email like a week ago.

Every forced Android minimum targetSDK update breaks literally everything.

There’s also a breaking change coming up in SDK 34 around exact alarms.

Google seems hell bent on making the platform more and more restrictive as time goes on because they started with no restrictions.

Apple started off more restrictive and then loosened restrictions as they put actual thought into APIs.

I don’t think there’s been a breaking change since iOS 8 or so.

Wow. Need this as a golang net/http shim.

I know it’s not as fun, but you could also pay for YouTube Premium to remove the ads.

iPhones just work. Macs just work. 99% of people don’t want to spend time configuring anything.

Both iOS and Android stopped innovating like 5 years ago, but at least the Apple ecosystem doesn’t feel dead like Android.

Why is anyone wasting brain space on this man?

There’s literally a 0% chance he gets anywhere.

Yikes

If this kills Zelle, that would be amazing.

True. Biking is the best thing ever (also extremely expensive).

I spent a ridiculous amount on a Gazelle HMB 380+. It’s so much fun to ride. Every component is top quality. No maintenance issues ever.

Recently got a carbon fiber road bike from a Taiwanese factory. Just as fun. Weighs 7.9kg.

I will say when I tested the VanMoof I hated everything about it. The automatic shifter is extremely counterintuitive. The parts suck, a lot.

Shimano hydraulic disc breaks are pretty much set it and forget it type things, so I personally wouldn’t form an opinion of the quality of disc breaks based on the VanMoof.

RIP.

Yup. Waymo >>>>>>>>>> Cruise.

It’s not even close.

Still wouldn’t get into a Waymo for another 3-5 years, but the quality gap is huge.

This was the best domain registrar available.

RIP

Their RX-220 servers are also amazing.

Ampere 80 core machines for $220/m.

We use these for anything requiring a lot of threads.

“Prompt engineers”… sigh.

Nah. uint64. The end.

Nobody is actually “confused” though.

Crypto proponents (like every other industry that has come before, and will come after) want zero regs.

Everything else is just hand waving.

Regulators clearly know (from these filings) exactly what’s going on.

Congress needs to pass laws to spell out exactly what falls under which new regulations.

It’s clearly possible (see: Australia, NZ, UK, EU, etc, etc)

It’s kind of interesting that the “commonwealth” countries (AU/NZ/GB/CA) have different classifications of crypto (AU/NZ treat them as property, CA as securities, GB varies depending on the thing).

The SEC filings do give the rationale for why specific coins are securities though.

Hard to summarize each filing though. Worth reading because, unfortunately (?), they make a good case.

No, you never “catch up” unless you fire every software engineer (so income and trailing five years of amortization cancel out).

Year 5 is just a steady state of no more phantom profit taxes, but you never really get that extra tax you paid back if you want to keep operating at the same level or grow.

No one is talking about tax credits.

The expense of salaries isn’t deductible against income.
