I think the intent was more that security keys greatly reduce the friction associated with more secure practices, reducing the reasons to use less secure ones.

That holds for thinking it's what someone should do, but wanting to enforce it? That's pretty crazy.

It can matter, but it doesn't matter universally. Just because some, or even most, people want to reproduce, doesn't mean that has to be everyone's goal or plan. People who can't or don't want to reproduce routine

I think it's just that JS caters to those features the least, so that's where you see new languages from people that want them.

You are making the (wrong) assumption that relationships are all about reproduction. Marriage has no requirement for reproduction. The argument is also deeply flawed because "women can only have one man's baby at a time" igno

That is absolutely nuts. Do these people not realise you can change your name anyway? It's one of those really weird positions I don't understand the process of getting to. I have to assume those people are nutjobs who want to enf

Across media I've seen a lot more of "species with only one gender" (e.g: Mass Effect), "species with no concept of gender" (e.g: Steven Universe). This probably makes more sense given how often sci-fi is about soci

To be fair, the commercial space industry isn't focused on stuff like Mars (that's mostly PR stuff) - it's about satellites. GPS, communication, mapping, etc... These are things that make a huge difference to our everyday liv

It can also do .net standard 2.0, which is great for library compatibility, and the experimental (but working) incremental compiler is Roslyn based and can do c# 7.2.

It has basic pattern matching now, nullable is the option type, which is being extended to reference types in the next version. It's no Scala, but it's getting there.

You don't see the harm in any con man being able to put together a "therapy" that has no chance of working and charge terminally ill people a ton of money, wasting what little time they have, and taking their money from them?

I wouldn't called Deluge minimalist - that's Transmission. Deluge is more of a power-tool, albeit one most people can use happily. The big thing that I like is that you can use the desktop GUI (GTK) client with a remote daemon doi

The answer is probably "because your content is locked on that provider", but that's a less and less valuable point. Obviously, BitTorrent was the big reason in the past, but now the reality is that there is a lot of competit

That is fair, I'd say the same thing about "Pull Request" as a name when compared to "Merge Request" though - it's so counter-intuitive to people new to the process. Can we get "Merge Request" with th

Sure, but a packager should never be hacking the system to fix an application. That may fix your package, but could easily break everything else on the system. The fix should have been the simple and obvious one - apply a patch that fixes t

I don't think it's a lie, I think it's just an old example. Just as the media loves using "epic fail" in a "How do you do, fellow kids?" kind of way, it's easy to assume something is still happening b

I imagine the answer is that 99% of their testing and use is through docker where it's an image that is set up and then thrown away purely for this, so messing with an existing system isn't something they'd notice.

Seriously, this. I love reversible connectors. I love being able to use my phone as host or as client (charge a friend's phone from mine? No problem). Right now though, there are zero cases on the market with USB-C ports on the fro

I would seriously hope that modern therapists would do their utmost to push back on any idea of virginity as an indicator of human value - an idea that comes from the idea of women as property and successor machines.

That's a historic method that was popular before the ternary operator was added, but I'd recommend against it. Primarily because it's just less readable and obvious what the intent is, but also because if `y` is say `[]`, it

To push back on a few of these: Lambdas are best replaced with `def` in Python - you can define a function anywhere and naming it has advantages. It's a tiny bit more verbose, but in any situation the "crippled" lambda isn&#x
