This might be a bit of a strange question, but it's interesting to think about and I know antirez will probably read it here, so I want to bring it up: Could there be some potential privacy or data-leakage concerns with this, since the

The simple clients just wouldn't enable client tracking, it's off by default. It also wouldn't work very well as a proxy because then if any clients don't go through the proxy but change some of the data, there's no

This is from February, not something new. (It's still from 2019 so HN probably won't add that info to the title)

I looked into using <details> to handle collapsing comment threads on Tildes, and ended up deciding it wouldn't work well and just went with JS. It was a long time ago now so I can't remember much specifically any more, but

I definitely agree with that. If you look at how HN does any individual thing, it's almost always "wrong", but it really doesn't matter. It's become (and stayed) a thriving community for over 10 years anyway, and al

This seems to be the relevant issue on GitHub: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/574 There's not much solid or explicit info in it, but it does seem to be planned eventually.

Making your decision based on that doesn't make sense, because it doesn't affect FastMail at all. They're not an end-to-end encrypted service. They can already access all of your data without a backdoor (and need to be able t

That's talking about other Australian companies. Again, Fastmail has absolutely no need for a backdoor, and will never be requested to add one. They already have full access, a backdoor wouldn't do anything. They have a frontdoo

I honestly don't understand what you're talking about. The word "unlikely" isn't even in the post I linked. They could always decrypt your data. They don't need to add a backdoor, because they've always ha

Why do you need to switch? That regulation is irrelevant for Fastmail and changes nothing for them, as they've explained multiple times: https://fastmail.blog/2018/12/21/advocating-for-privacy-aabi...

PEP 563 is intended to resolve it: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0563/ As rcfox said, you can already enable this behavior, and it will be included in Python 4.0.

The second issue is a bit of a judgment call too, I think. If the types were inferred you could end up with errors that you're not able to see because inferred types end up compatible. Personally, I think I'd rather write them man

The first issue is fixed by just using a string. Yes, you can't do Sequence[Node], but you can do Sequence["Node"]. The docs talk about this here ("class name forward references"): https://mypy.readthedoc
