Before I started programming in Rust I had similar concerns when I saw people pushing rust as backend language choice. However having written a non significant amount of rust it does really well at feeling a lot like ruby/python while

I guess the issue when your potential adversaries are nation states is that if they know where the servers are and that area is within their jurisdiction they can have your servers shutdown/seized. This obviously kills at least parts o

You might very well be correct that it's not worth it, but it doesn't counter my point.

A common misconception with "Security by Obscurity" is that it's always a bad thing. It's only a bad thing if the obscurity is critical to the security of what you are protecting. For example if you make your API complet

I use UBlock Origin to achieve pretty much the same behaviour as NoScript. Haven't found a reason to use NoScript since I started doing that.

Seems fairly rational. I recon two of the most common reasons people leave are boredom and unsatisfying career progression. So all you have to do is ensure people have interesting work and pay/promote them at a rate that is competitive

I feel you and I was scared when I updated to the FF 57 beta and VimFx stopped working. However luckily since there’s now support for WebExtensions vimium is gaining more and more features in the Firefox version everyday

That's a really nice project. Well done, I feel inspired to rewrite my old Mandlebrot.js implementation now.

Am I reading it correctly that it's possible to invoke syscalls from Javascript? That seems like a monumentaly bad idea...

But the values are const? You just need to understand the implication of const in javascript. Why would you choose to weaken the communication in your code by choosing `let` over `const` when you have no intention of reassign the value? `le

> You can take action against them, you just don't have a patent grant once you do. Which opens you up to being countered-sued right? It seems that this leaves Facebook to freely infringe on any patents of React users without conseq

by K0nserv 9y ago
The patent grant isn't the problem it's the termination on any action against Facebook. Hence if Facebook infringes on patents you own you can't take action against them if you are using React.

As pointed out in the article only AMP results get placed in the carousel at the top of the search results. That's definitely an example of boosting AMP. They could generate carousel entries for non-AMP pages with og:title and og:image

The fact that a lof of tooling is only available for Chrome is another side effect of the monoculture among developers. I too use Chrome for developing every now and then, but I use Firefox as my main browser for everything else.

I'm not gonna dispute that. I've found that Firefox is an adequate replacement, however it is much more sluggish for certain sites specifically those that are javascript heavy. Like David mentions it's not really about which

The Chrome monoculture among developers is concerning. It's something each and every developer should consider and actively combat by changing their primary browser. The open web cannot flourish when built on a monopoly

Intersecting with an infinite plane is also pretty easy so you can build a Cornell box just using planes. However the massive sphere trick is neat, never thought of that before

From a quick Google. Path tracing doesn't trace towards light sources for shadow rays and instead just sends several rays in different directions and accumelates the resulting colors of those rays.
