Given how much the courts rely on case law, court records should be as free and publicly indexed as statutes are.

In the future, just use https://mjml.io/. Yes, the HTML it generates is god-awful-ugly, but it does generate responsive emails that render very nicely in almost every client back to Outlook 2010.

The same product but different names and SKUs is a game the mattress industry plays very well which keeps prices elevated and the 'price match guarantee' game impossible to win for consumers.

Until someone in design or marketing changes the font on you.

It's used not just by spammers, but by sales reps, too.

Dell recently did this to about half a dozen people on my team. 'Q2 Budget Review', which sounds official, but is really a Dell rep trying to sell you junk that magically pops up on your calendar _even if you mark their message as spam_.

Dirty way to get by executive assistants, too.

> and then sent the key to a well-known white-hat security researcher

Would you like it if someone involved you in adjudicating potentially illegal (under CFAA & others) without your consent?

This is clearly not a white hat hacker looking to teach people lessons about security. If it were, they could have furnished a list to the major cloud providers of broken instances and given them time to notify and remediate.

What about an alternate for these 'platform script includes' like Twilio and Stripe:

    <script src="..." report-integrity="https://cdn.stripe.com/report">

in which clients compute the integrity and asynchronously ping a lightweight payload of the integrity to the third party? You would then seed your report service with a list of known hashes and set up alerting for when new hashes were observed.

A true CSS+HTML-powered print renderer is PrinceXML. https://www.princexml.com/samples/

Having used it for over a decade, it's a wonderful tool.

I have a standard preface to start a live coding or technical session with a candidate to account for this. I look up stuff all the time, and expecting candidates to not do so is cruel.

> We're going to go through a few technical exercises together. It's open book, open documentation, use whatever resources you would normally use — though please do not copy and paste complete solutions from StackOverflow and guess&check to reach our solution. It's open language, so please select whatever you're strongest in. If it is a language I am not familiar with, I will ask questions. Some of those questions may be naive. Use whatever editor and environment you're most comfortable in. Please ask questions of me. There is no specifically correct answer, though your solutions should hit a level of baseline correctness. These problems are designed to mirror some typical day-to-day problems you might face on the job; we're not looking to test rote memorization of _Hacking the Coding Interview_. We want working code, but some aspects or edge cases may remain in pseudocode as we iterate on these problems together. There are no designed 'gotcha' moments in these exercises, and if you feel there may be a 'gotcha' moment, ask clarifying questions. I would rather you ask questions than struggle through a solution.

It works well for modern development.

If they had capital to begin with. If this is some individual hacker without much for means, swiping $100k of BTC in a potentially narrow window when a security vulnerability is in place is greater than $0 while trying to line up capital and shorts.

+1 for date-fns. It's not uncommon to look at a downloads in a JavaScript bundle to find out Moment — and its timezone and localization files — are a huge percentage of a download for a single `moment.format()` call.

There are already a number of opinionated issue trackers, like Clubhouse and Pivotal Tracker.

M of N signatures on new version tags, or on ranges of commits?

Counter-Counterpoint: if Microsoft made updates painless, users would notice them less, and defer them less, and be more up to date/secure.

Updates are highly disruptive. An update happening at the wrong time forever taints a user's view of updates: an unexpected reboot and hour long install the night before a term paper is due, a reboot to fix a crashing program unexpectedly installs some lengthy update, update progress bars are bigger liars than politicians, an update fails so Windows has to un-apply the update which takes $ages for some reason the user doesn't care about. The way updates happen on Windows is anti-user so it's not surprising so many users go out of their way to avoid them.

Feedback: the screen shots showing how it works advance much too quickly. It's impossible to spot the helper text, look at the screen, and get any context before it flips. Image carrousels with important information are a poor UX.

And in those large reformat commits, add a file like `.git-ignore-revs-file` that is checked in, so you can configure git to ignore that revision and pretend it never existed:

    [blame]
      ignoreRevsFile = ".git-ignore-revs-file"
      markIgnoredLines
      markUnblamableLines

Windows XP even before SP2 was a _delight_ compared to the true train wreck that shipped on consumer PCs before it: Windows "Mistake Edition" Me.

Don't forget to account for planned obsolescence. If a fridge lasts 10 years, what happens when GE stops producing those filters? You start looking at new fridges. The GE fridge pissed you off, so you upgrade to Fisher & Paykel… turns out they are produced by the same company, so they don't care that GE 'lost' a customer.

Your preferred language's debugger. It really does show in coding interviews who has control over their environment and can debug rapidly. It doesn't matter if it's rudimentary pdb (basic python debugger) or LLdb, understanding how to structure code such that it's easily testable -and- debuggable is a hallmark of a senior developer.

Does anyone know what an insurance agent makes? If I go to my local State Farm office to get a home owners policy, what is the cut that goes to the local office/agent?

Sometimes this is nice. If I'm buying paper towels, I don't need to be overwhelmed with 800 options.

Maybe that's why Welch said to measure against GE's future leaders if they are destined to forever underperform the S&P. :)

To read that quote differently:

1981 • Jack Welch becomes CEO • $1.29 2001 • Jack Welch retires • $37.20 (down from its peak of near $60.00 in mid 2000) 2020 • Nearly 20 years post Jack Welch • $6.28.

20 years of Jack Welch - +2,800% increase 20 years after Jack Welch - -83% decrease

This is the same reason I offer candidates remote screen share-based technical assessments. Part of what makes an effective engineer is mastery over tools: by putting you into Coderpad or Hacker Rank type tools, I'm handicapping you.

Not everyone opts for that (maybe their local environment is messy, or they only have a locked down work device, etc), but I always make it an option.

I've learned many things over the years watching other experts in their local environments as an interviewer. New packages, new shortcuts, new helper apps, ...

This was a lot more fun before Github started collapsing directories of one item!

Now how can we reclaim `onpaste` events? If I'm in an input box and paste text, are there any legit use cases of _blocking_ paste of text in text entry fields?
