thought they have moved mail.google.com to google.com/mail a while ago. Tracking would still be possible over 2 domain, but then google would have to do a bit of ETL operations. Guess this will save some more engineering.

New comment by deepstack in "For naturally introverted people, acting more extroverted can backfire"

>How would you react if someone came in and said "there is no real gravity; it's just that the earth loves us very much"? Or "there are no viruses and bacteria; we get sick from bad air and evil spirits"?

Gravity can be measured more objectively than social science (such as psychology) concept such as introvert/extrovert, which is determined by committees such as DSM IV or maybe now V. Introversion and extraversion are just one thing that is measured within a certain context.

Sounds about right. There is no real introvert or extrovert. Just people who like hanging out with and people we don't. With people whom we like to hangout with we are extrovert, and other then we are introvert.

It would be funny if Apple start to advertise like tabloids and spam emails. Would totally drive all the silicon valley hipster crazy.

deepstack — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 07:38:40 +0000

I never understood why company like Reddit, which no users give a fuck if it is 50Billion or 250Billion valuations. It is kinda like Craigslist, it provides a benefit to the society as public forum for information sharing. The cost to run it shouldn't be too high. Just keep it running for the purpose of that. Don't get into those MBA talk about making it profitable. There are business that can be profitable. Something like a public forum, should be like digital public utility, kind alike park and public library.

glad someone said it. I mean all the CI/CD pipeline are just in the old day *nix/bsd days bash/perl/awk/sed/python/ruby (fill in the blank) scripts. One problem when IT/Software development become more main stream is that everything got another layer of obfuscation especially in corporate cultures and amongst sales and recruiters and managements. Development Operation or pipeline sounds sooo much better bash scripts.

please just run postgresql in EC2, there are many presentation why that is preferred over RDS.

that is reason many older developer tend to do everything biz logic etc all in db store procedure/functions/view, etc. The cost of getting the data is native, no connection pooling needed, and with V8/python integration in the PG, it is non trivial what language you use. If you are dealing with large amount of data in a db, why not just do everything there. DB like sql has cursor, merge, that makes manipulating large set of data much easier than moving it on to another language environment.

Many developers in now and before like to have their own desk/space it helps them think. Getting ride of that space or changing may not be optimal for many developers I've worked with.

Kinda make sense, since the founder of Mozilla left and went to start Brave. Makes one wonder how the company is really defined by their founders.

also the way google dumps code is also a factor, is it going to be repo where we can keep track of the whole development process, or just a code dump every once in a while.

or if the user allows JS in their browser, then just do some GPU/CSS/Font Collections,etc. finger printing and get the unique id, since all the major bowser vendors are not fixing this problem (except may be for webkit).

I don't think it has anything to to conspiracy theory or anything like that, it just a matter of fact, that nation state actors just simply DO NOT trust anything digital for important stuff ATM.

Yup. For serious people like military, etc they do keep important info in NON-digital form. When Snowden revelations came out, Russians switched to type writer for their internal memos.

For personal use, just have to say offline USB drive is a good investment if you can make the physical switch.

Until we can have something like the quantum entanglement communication.

New comment by deepstack in "Brave Integration Deepens Support for Unstoppable Domains"

and also > Now, we’re deepening our integration beyond .crypto to include more top-level domains – including .nft, .x, .wallet, .bitcoin, .blockchain, and .dao.

Hmm, for something to claim to be Unstoppable Domains, why not include .onion as well, seems like that is more an unstoppable domain than what Brave is offering. Any comments on that Brave?

yeah when it comes to embbed, if one is willing to go the java road, then H2 is an excellent DB to use. It is some what Postgres compliant.
