Why do you need to "make them afraid"? Why is your feelings toward privacy the only correct one? Owning a keyboard is potentially "giving everything you type to a company". Connecting to the internet at all is possibly g

I don't know what they mean, but I know that I really dislike how PS's autocomplete works. If the possible commands are (for the sake of discussion) `Get-AppLockerFileInformation` and `Get-AppLockerPolicy`. If you type `Get-App` a

Well Daft Punk are different. They are very well known, and they don't hide their identities any more than a voice actor for a cartoon is hiding their identity. Satoshi as far as I know is still unknown, and while there are some pretty

I want to warn against this. My biggest "issue" with remote working is always when there are differing amounts of remote work within teams. When you have half the engineers in office, and half remote, the 2 sides end up with commu

SO often can take hours to weeks for a good answer, and that's assuming it doesn't just get closed as a dupe when the other one doesn't answer the question. A good "guy" (or girl!) is a phone call away and can often

I can't speak to the product, but I did interview and worked a trial week at knack about a year ago and they are a very bright group of people that are hell-bent on making and maintaining a great product.

Sorry, that is what I meant by attribution (which is defined as the copyright and license in MIT). >IANAL, but sublicensing can only impose additional clauses, it cannot roll back any grants or restrictions of the original license. Yeah,

Yes, but those conditions start and end at requiring attribution. MIT already allows sublicensing, so a CLA for an MIT project (assuming nothing else shady is going on) really only buys them the ability to change future licenses to somethin

If i'm reading you right, the implication is that if you sign a CLA for an MIT license codebase, they could retroactively close-source your code contributions? My understanding of MIT and other permissive licenses like it is that if I

This is an awesome overview! But don't take it as all encompassing, it doesn't go into some of the more esoteric edge cases with CORS, like: * either an unreleased safari version, or the most recent version will send preflight req

Are you sure? That's a pretty insane security issue if it's true! Content-Type should only be allowed to be `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, `multipart/form-data`, or `text/plain` to be allowed without preflight

I believe the Edge team is actively working on open sourcing the whole browser. They have already open-sourced the JS engine behind it [0], and they worked on some integrations with other things (IIRC there was an experiment with node using

That's actually another part I should have not included in that rant, because the truth is that healthcare didn't even enter my mind for the most part. I didn't actually even have any medical coverage at all at that point in

Exactly! It's like saying today that 64gb of ram should be enough for just about everyone in their personal machine. In 10 years, that might be a hilariously small number, but for right now, it's way more than the extreme vast maj

That's where stuff like batch inserting the elements (split your table up into groups of 100 elements, and add one every so often to keep the UI smooth), and virtual-rendering (only show the part of the list that is actually visible) a

So if I'm reading it right, it looks like it's trying to replicate the DOM interface almost exactly (but in a web worker)! Which means that any UI library should be able to plug into this system and run mostly off the main thread

I don't like to double post, however after skimming parts of the linked PDF, it turns out that the style of optical scanners you are talking about are actually in there. One of the models (the ES&S M650) might be the actual scanner

That's fair, but it really feels to me like a kind of "token gesture" that makes it seem like it's in good faith (and could actually be done in good faith!) but keeps all the same underlying issues. After all, a lot of t

And IMO they should do away with "optical ballot scanning", and should move to regular humans counting them with their own eyes. An electronic scanning system could easily be vulnerable to many of the same issues that are presente
