Checking the function's caller breaks the composability of hooks: it stops hooks from being called by other hooks. (Also, it doesn't work in strict mode, which is enforced when you use ES modules.) React is the only thing that cal

I've coincidentally thought a lot about agents as you describe them, but ultimately it's been hard for me to come up with many real use-cases for them in common scenarios. In the context of regular REST API requests, it seems like

This was my first thought too. Hardware wallets show transactions on their own screen so the amount and destination address can be confirmed on-device before the device signs the transaction, which seems like a great tool to avoid this kind

>Letting the mob in, and then muting or banning after the fact can be exploited too easily. This seems like the popular wisdom online, but is it really something that's abused so much (at all, or relative to the problem it exists to

I think a lot of people online don't understand how to get attention besides by acting outrageous like this. Getting attention online by doing something good that everyone else is doing is really hard. A lot of people seek out the seem

The article isn't about her politics, it's about the harassment she got.

I don't think you'd need a separate internet for that. You can have some kind of ID system where you can authenticate to a site with your ID. Some sites essentially use small credit card payments to do this already. This commonly

Is your point that her politics are bad enough that she deserves this harassment, and is wrong to complain about it?

This is an english forum connected to a California venture firm that frequently discusses American tech companies and their workplaces, so of course you're going to find conversations about things relevant to that here. I find it weird

I'm really disappointed to see it flagged, because this is a real issue in the tech industry and its online spaces. Especially with the widespread moves to work-from-home, it's extremely important that we have online spaces that a

WebAssembly has a stack that lives separately from the linear memory, but C++ compiled to WebAssembly generally manages its own parallel "shadow stack" in linear memory that it keeps some of its stack variables inside. (I believe

Also, depending on how physics and the mind works, it's possible that human minds would be representable as finite state machines. If this argument were valid, it's an argument against human consciousness too in that case.

Certain experiments have shown that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local realism, and this means either that locality is wrong, and the world has faster-than-light communication, or that realism is wrong, and that there are no singl

I just make labs and factories in arbitrary amounts, and then adjust the amounts later as I go based on where I see the bottlenecks. I tried getting the ratios exactly right up-front when I first started playing, but it was almost never wor

Yeah I'm really lost about the AMP doomsaying. The fact google has a standard that anyone can use that lets pages be delivered faster and shows an icon on results that do that really doesn't seem like the sort of thing to get worr

That reliability stuff sounds good on desktop too. I don't exactly enjoy re-running apt after it has mysterious failures halfway through installs.

That's not at all the issue they said that Rust would help with.

Sites using WebAssembly still need to use the DOM just like JS sites, and be equally ad-blockable. Technically a site could render everything as an opaque image in a canvas element, which would be hard to do ad-blocking on, but there's

There was, but they got rid of the non-pro macbooks years ago to fix that.

The Nazis stole the swastika. Should we consider it unfair to factor the use of that symbol in to our judgment about whether someone is/supporting/identifying as a Nazi? Symbols don't have fixed inherent meanings.

I find it funny the article just brushes aside the issue of whether vocal racists could be fired as if it's not the crux of the issue. (Yeah, there's some cases being labelled "cancel culture" that clearly weren't t

I assume the victims aren't technically-sophisticated bitcoin owners. I had previously told a family member that I had a little bit of cryptocurrency, and then a few months ago they messaged me asking how to buy some bitcoin. I prodded

Oh sorry, I think I'd lost that bit of context. This scenario of hiding a password during inspection is probably the main place where "security through obscurity" has validity. A big benefit of encrypting your cryptocurrency

Not all cryptocurrency content is a scam, but there's a ton of scams in the cryptocurrency space, so it's not surprising that places in the cryptocurrency space might be heavily moderated to try to counter that and have some false

Brainwallets, where you choose the phrase that unlocks the wallet, are a bad idea for this reason. Plenty of people have lost a lot of money from trying clever things like using their favorite line from a piece of media. However, if you hav
