Larger enterprises have their own images and would never put a preinstall on a users' desktop.

Surprised that nobody has taken the effort to explain "how" this is happening.

The article talks about flaws in DEX design, opening the risk of front running. What's happening is that DEXs work on chain, therefore orders are submitted on chain and thus visible in the mempool while waiting for miners to include it in a block. Front runners view these pending orders and then submit a similar order (but with a higher gas fee), thus incentivizing miners to take their Ethereum transaction instead of the earlier order (for higher fees).

While the article in question is correct with regards to what I explained above, I hate how generalizing it is. Not all DEXs are designed the same way. The first generation of DEXs did everything on chain which also has the downside of limited throughput (limited by blockchain transactions per second). The next generation DEXs are working to solve this with off chain solutions which would also solve the front running problem.

If you're having 1:1s each fortnight, you probably won't even need 30mins. In practice, schedule for 30mins but in reality it rarely takes that much time so don't fret about losing so much time.

It's hard to avoid. My project has a firebaseConfig.js.sample file committed as a reminder to the deployer, they need to create their own. And I put firebaseConfig.js into .gitignore in case a developer is careless.

Would you recommend reading Ball Lightning before the TBP Trilogy if I've never read any of this...because it's a prequel?

Do you value the medium or the content? I can't see why you think 'digital self-publishing' is a bad thing.

If anything, digital publishing where you can circumvent the publishers should allow for more content to reach market (not saying it's all good...see geocities webpages as an example of this) but I'm not sure why you think this would be bad for the Chinese SciFi scene.

I don't think he automated it. It looks like he outsourced it to cheaper labour in the Philipines

Please, do not be those people who squat all the seats in coffee houses.

I see there are browser plugins, enabling you to read Quora articles without logging in.

But are there any plugins that remove/filter all google search results from Quora?

Would it shock you to find out that Cobol developers make almost as much as Java developers? And I'm pretty sure they don't need to constantly learn a new version of the language every few years.

But seriously... A recent job hunt has made me aware of how crummy companies are and how management roles are under-appreciated; so I've been spending a lot of effort on updating my developer skills as it seems most companies expect you to do everything nowadays.

Same here. Started off by trying to pick up React. Found React to be really complicated for a non-JS developer (I've done mostly server-side stuff). Someone suggested I try VueJS, tried it and had a much easier time.

Slightly OT but which development laptop has best keyboard? I can't stand my circa 2012 rMBP keyboard (and the newer ones are even worse). I'm guessing a Thinkpad?? But I can't find one with good battery, screen and weight.

It always puzzles me when people point out that cryptocurrencies are used for illegal activities.

Cyptocurrencies were not designed to facilitate illegal activities. Yet every fuddite makes it seem so.

Every single fiat currency in the world is/can be used for illegal activities. Do we discard them? Care to wager which currency, USD or BTC; is used more for illegal activities? No, I didn't think you would. But media and fudders will repeatedly point out that it's cryptos that are used to transact illegal things.
