I'm only nitpicking because this is one of the things the article complains about but I think you're conflating two types of saftey. All Javascript (TypeScript included) is "safe" in the sense of C++/Rust. Using the

Ah, I'm quite old fashioned when it comes to debugging, so I'll attach a debugger and maybe even read through the generated assembly if need be. I've also been trying to make more use of static asserts where possible. If I ca

But what I'm trying to say is that I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. It's not the margins that are too wide, it's the text that's too narrow. This may sound like the same thing but it's n

Having sex with an unconscious (due to sleep) woman counts as rape in the UK. Only the UK and Sweden's laws matter when extraditing between those countries.

I'd be wary of that last point depending on what you mean by "isolate". Chroot is not a security feature so the isolation is not perfect. This shouldn't matter if you trust the application but if it could be malicious (o
