2020 Elections are coming up, and beyond the Trump vs Biden theatrics, in Massachusets we have a ballot referendum on the Right to Repair . TL;DR: Vote ‘Yes’ on Question 1. Currently auto manufacturers must provide independent auto repair shops access to the same diagnostic and repair information about a vehicle as the manufacturers’ dealers have, but the current law doesn’t include telematics, defined by the state as “systems that col....

Platform-first has become such a common business-tech phrase that HBR (Harvard Business Review) has coined a term for this phenomena; “‘platformania’...a land grab, where companies feel they have to be the first mover to secure a new territory, exploit network effects, and raise barriers to entry.” But, the excitement is not without reason. Seven of the world’s 10 largest global companies are underpinned by some of the most evolved technolo..

Introduction In my last attempt to build this app, search organically grew in prominence as I added new features. Originally the app was just date ordered markdown documents, and search was free text with a few added features. In this version, I wanted search to be more central and flexible. Rather than an adjunct on the selected journal, I thought it could be the main driver of what was on screen.

Just a quick note - I offer some (currently just static) web services at the according link in the menu. Besides some notes - small snippets of information that do not really fit into a specific post - and a page for copypasta, you will also find some possibly more interesting things: A verify page for providing a second opinion on whether public keys and onion links are correct (let me know if I should add anything on there) and my latest ..

While Snyk provides lots of details for each of the vulnerabilities we discover, and references to published advisories and associated CWEs, not everyone is a security expert.

K-means clustering (not to be confused with K-nearest neighbors) is an unsupervised learning algorithm used for grouping similar points together into clusters. start Algorithm The basic K-means algorithm is fairly simple and has two steps, repeated until convergence: assign points to cluster corresponding to closest centroid update centroid locations to the mean of all points assigned to the associated cluster The algorithm con..

Anyone who is a member in one of my rooms should have noticed by now: Something went terribly wrong. There was no malicious intent at any point in time which lead to this, and, while certain peculiarities of the Matrix spec may have had an influence, the fault was mainly due to a mistake on my side… Everything was related to server ACLs in these rooms, so that is where I will start. What are server ACLs? "ACL" is short for "Access Control....

Originally appeared in Infinite Regress In 1983, at the tender age of 8, I had my first real crisis as an artist. It involved a new-media project I was working on for Mrs. Widenbacher’s class that called for a particular interactive element that I knew would really drive home what I was trying to say. […]

As part of our privacy-in-Web-Standards work, we’re proud to have been involved in the design for the Global Privacy Control proposal. GPC allows Web users to signal that they do not want to be tracked online, and where relevant, assert legal privacy rights, as described in legislation like the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA.

It is the year 2030. Apple Pay and Google Pay have just announced their partnership. Instead of contactless payments using NFC-enabled devices, many people are using pure biometric-enabled Point of Sales systems. A quick facial scan with voice fingerprint is enough to complete a payment either in store or online. Deciding whether to pay with a credit or debit account has faded into insignificance. Many people have also enabled ‘spend smooth..

useEffect is great for fetching and rendering data, but are you using it correctly? There's an eslint plugin to check!

If your plan is to loop over a collection: You shouldn’t check for it being non-empty first. Don’t do this: if (!stuff.empty()) { for (Item item : stuff) { // ... } } Do this instead: for (Item item : stuff) { // ... } Benefits: Shorter Less nesting Same performance I used to do this too at some point in the past, because I thought this would have performance benefits, but in reality, the performance benefit is hardly measur..

Hillel Wayne has a great newsletter, and one recent post had this observation: The abstract concept here is knowledge or skills that You are unlikely to discover on your own, neither through practice and reflection nor by observing others apply it. Once somebody tells you about it, you can easily learn and apply it. Once you can use it, it immediately gives you significant benefits, possibly to the point of raising your expertise level.

Memory issues can be hard to track down. A function that only allocates a few small objects can cause a space leak if it’s called often enough and those objects are never collected. Even then, many objects are supposed to be long-lived. How can a tool, armed with data on allocations and their lifetimes, help sort out the expected from the suspicious?

Where Can You Earn Better Interest Rates Now That Even High-Yield Savings Account Rates are Low?

I love my online high-yield savings account. I’ve had the account a number of years now, and it was great when the interest rate was just over two percent. But over the past year, the interest rate has slowly been dropping, and now, it’s under one percent.
