    Come on, man. We're talking about classified information, not general OPSEC advice. I worked in a SCIF. Literally every piece of equipment, down to each ethernet cable, has a stick…

    This describes my current situation so precisely. The only thing keeping me on is the engineers I brought in and the initiatives I'd like to finish. I'll probably "retire" early in…

    You need "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true in your tsconfig.json. For odd only numbers, you can make a "branded" type. There are many options, one way is type OddNumber = number & {…

    GCP still has domain management via Cloud DNS. That isn't going away. This is just domain registration. I say this as someone who uses Google Domains and GCP and is upset at this d…

    IPFS is decentralized storage and is a big part of what web3 is. Many NFTs use IPFS urls and many dapps are hosted on it. Browsers can resolve them today via centralized gateways l…

    https://www.cloudternal.com It's like AirTable/Lists/etc but for big organizations. So the focus is on a more useful permission system, handling lots of data, dead simple data entr…

    > Let's be honest. The whole blockhain / cryptocurrency was never about that ever. I'm not sure why you think this. "Banking the unbanked" was a huge Bitcoin mantra back in the day…

    Which is a bigger driver of decentralization? Running a node or adoption? I would think a universally adopted blockchain in the multi-TB would turn out more decentralized than a na…

    Wasn't that a large part of Microsoft's strategy? I remember taking an "IT" class in high school in the early 00's that was 100% focused on learning MS Office. People bring what th…

    The barriers, time, and cost for nuclear seem to be primarily of political origin, not technical. It's held to an unreasonable higher standard than anything else.

    Although he says "able to compress our data", he means that the uncompressed representation is smaller. In addition to memory savings, iteration could theoretically be faster due t…

    TypeScript is following JavaScript, not the other way around. Generally, ECMAScript proposals get added to TypeScript when they hit stage 3. Optional chaining and nullish coalescin…

    For scenarios where you want users to only see "their" data, managers to see their employees' data, and vps/admins to see all data are common scenarios that are often hard to imple…

    Hey there, I set that up. The request early access link is a Google Form so it was an issue somewhere between you and Google. It works for me now, but if it still doesn't work for …

    It's MTailor (like a tailor) and I think they're great, but my dream is a bit different (elaborated in another comment).

    Comment #23595941

    I'm familiar, but MTailor is a standalone brand. I'm dreaming of a world where I can see any piece/brand of clothing and not even think about the size or fit. It's just taken as a …

    Yeah, why does clothing still come in S/M/L? Why can't I order existing brands in styles 100% fitted to my unique body. Surely you can instantly measure shoulder/chest/waist width,…

    My compile time went from seconds to minutes when I made a recursive immutable type (which I reverted of course). Overall, I still love typescript. Edit for the curious, here's the…
