Prerendering was old-school back then, too. Edge caching might not have been as prevalent but was hardly new technology. > without any privacy or analytics concerns Uhm, yeah, no. Less bloated JS usually means less concerns but privacy v

Looks neat! What would be really valuable for us would be future support for other distros/repos. A more unified interface for synchronized publishing across say dep/rpm/archlinux/alpine when we have multi-distro package

Not everything needs to be monetized. Those kinds of things I just publish on a git repo somewhere to "give back" considering how much I benefited from others doing the same. That can also help you build personal brand and reputat

Sorry but if an expected $9k expense is hurting to the point that you are seriously considering such risky and costly (what's your time and attention worth?) plays... Do have any buffers or margins? It sounds naive to just expect every

I wouldn't read too much into it. Just like how every other student startup is a Microsoft and/or Google "partner" by virtue of some program. For all we know it's the usual affiliate deal.

You expected a productive, meaningful and actionable response to the question "Aren't they process isolated?" without even hinting at which OS and browser you're considering? Vague question, vague answer.

by 3np 2y ago
How big of a difference it makes obviously depends on your OS and how you run your browser. I guess your choices are 1. Educate yourself on the nitty-gritty and make an educated decision 2. Reason from first principles and apply general bes

In one scenario, a browser exploit means your passwords are likely bust. In the other, your password manager can still be safu even if your browser is bust. Things are less likely to leak if they are further separated. Letting your browser

Again, sure. Now try to contribute to the source. https://www.christopherspenn.com/2021/08/simple-is-not-easy/

I recall the same, and that there was evidence. Anyone bother digging up a source?

The nvme, by far. Hard to imagine a reasonable real-world use-case for vramfs. Still cool.

So just make that feature exclusive for enterprise versions and reduce the ease for private individuals to obtain one.

Easy to use? Sure. Simple? No way.

None of that (save for running as root, which is very crude, much less granular, and requires promoting privileges of the process in question to root) is "about the same amount of work" as using a unix socket directly.

I recall reading a few years back about some crapware that opportunistically would attempt connecting through any available AP (e.g. your neighbor) and smuggle data that way.

Yeah, reproducible builds are meaningless for users without a reference to reproduce.

Personally I do take at least a quick look over sources before deciding to trust any new app. I simply won't install apps that don't provide the option. This used to be an ideological stance but increasingly recently it's the

Do you plan on making source code available? (Or: how can users verify that this is not malware?)

Registered account e-mail addresses are ~supposedly~ in the leak and not public. EDIT: That was apparently a mistake. Still, not all of the data in the dump is public or useless.

They aren't equivalent, they're in different domains and abstraction levels. Subtypes are an abstract notion in type theory and grammar while coercions are implementation details/syntax. > What if your implicit coercions a
