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 sticker with its authorized classification level. This syste

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 a few months and work on passion projec

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 & { __BRAND_ODD_NUMBER: true

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 decision.

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 like ipfs.io and some browsers (like Brave) support IPFS nati

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 narrowly adopted multi-GB blockchain. # of potential business&

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 they know into the workplace.

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 to fewer missed branches (imagine iterating through

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 coalescing were added to V8/Chrome and TypeScript around the sam

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 implement in these tools. This is exactly a

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 you, please email Carey personally (email is in his HN

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

by thomasrognon 6y ago
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 given that I can see it on myself (AR?)

by thomasrognon 6y ago
Doing this would require on-demand manufacturing with operational costs close to what currently exists. I can see how it could end up cheaper simply due to not making clothes that don't get sold. I'm sure there's a lot of was

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, torso/leg height, etc with

I use Cloud Run and nothing is specially developed for it, other than just being stateless. I can take my container and run it on a generic Linux box with zero changes (in fact, I run it in WSL2 on my Windows machine all the time). And I ju

I really like this idea. I already planned on enabling users to upload thumbnails images for the "book cover" of a table. I could make each tab's favicon based on that.

We don't currently have automation, but we plan on having it ready either Q3 or Q4 this year (we might do mobile first, it depends on demand). Thanks for signing up, we'll reach out to you soon!

I think there's so much truth to UX being king, especially for tight-knit forward-thinking teams. However, these products always seem to ignore heavy use cases common in large orgs. Like lots of records and nuanced permissions that rea
