One of democracy's foundations is the fact that all human beings have certain inalienable rights and freedoms. Suspended by trust and shared values. Today, trust and shared values are being replaced by “control and surveillance”.

One of my favorite things about crypto is that, every so often, your conception of what it is changes. Bitcoin at first was “weird internet money” and then it was “a protocol” and then it was “digital gold”. Ethereum is “ICOs”, or maybe “DeFi”, or maybe “Web3”, or maybe all three, or maybe something...
First impressions
On every team at every company I've been at prior to my current role, the advice was simple: don't check your node_modules folder into your version control system (which I'll refer to as “Git” for the rest of this article…). This seemed like solid advice for multiple reasons:
While the number of job opportunities for software developer skyrockets together with salaries all around the world, fresh grads and junior developers struggle to even get invited for the interviews. Why does it happen and can we do anything about it?

An unfair heavily biased apples-to-oranges comparison… unless?
Today I’m resigning from The New York Times. Those are not words I ever wanted to write. Growing up, I never even imagined that I would get the chance to live in New York City or to work in media -- let alone at the paper of record. I’m from a tiny town of a thousand people in the middle of the corn fields of…
It’s been about half a year since I wrote my original post comparing the Librem 5 and Pinephone. The original post saw some controversy as well as quite a bit of attention on Hacker News . Surprisingly, for a market dominated by new tech every year, there remains quite a bit of interest in these two devices.

A while ago, I was curious how the speed of document.getElementById compared to document.querySelector in Javascript for selecting a single element by ID. querySelector has to do a lot more work, so one would expect that it would be slower, but I didn't know if the difference was enough to care about.

When organizations optimize metrics at the cost of all else, they expose themselves to metric corruption. Ultimately, as the Facebook scandal illustrates, they may fail their users and their business goals.
