The post is not a study or a solution or a suggestion or anything of the sort. The author clarified in the last portion that it is a prediction. Someone predicting the bad consequences of the current direction is not advocating for that dir

With subtraction, you can say [0, 256) except [4, 9, 15, 26]. You can do that just by narrowing a single range. But then, its kinda hard to optimise such a split range in the general case. The narrowing option gives you 80% (maybe more) of

A backdoor in the technical sense (which is the real topic of this whole conversation) is one that bypasses the known way of entry. For an "End to end encrypted" communication channel, a backdoor allows someone to view the communi

Unrelated to that issue, the right hand side TOC does not display completely. I am using firefox on windows with a default zoom of 120%. The TOC ends up going below the screen and hiding the last few entries. It also floats above the footer

The classic 0, 1, or N. You can have 0 repos (no-code or outsourced or just some unversioned blob of code). You can have 1 repo (a mono-repo). Or you can have N number of repos (individual micro services). Limiting yourself to a number that

Yes. That was a positive case for NamedTuple. The negative case was what if the function needs to grow further and return more stuff and then its no longer clear what the return values are? For example, what if `get_mouse_coordinates()` bec

While true, I think your additions to the behaviors are rather... useless. Out of the original three, notice that one is the actual behaviour we want to happen and two are insidious side effects that we want to prevent. Your proposed fourth

I am pretty sure most extensions (or at least ublock) can be set to stay off on specific websites? The extension can have an extra list of known safe sites that don't have ads where the extension stays off by default (should still be t

It could be used to differentiate LLM text from pre-LLM human text maybe. The thing, our AIs may not be very good at learning but our brains are. The more we use AI, the more we integrate LLMs and other tools into our life, the more their o

I used to be able to just close the lid on my laptop and forget about it for days. Nowadays with the new laptop provided by my employer, if I close the lid wrong, it doesn't even go to sleep and the battery drains completely (which is.

The thing is, when adding dependencies _isn't_ trivial, you end up vendoring. You aren't gonna thoroughly test your command line parser if it is a very small feature of your overall project. A dedicated command line parser lib wil

Live bug squash is better, imo. I was part of the production support at my $DAYJOB. My work was literally finding and squashing bugs all day. And yet, if you were to ask me for interesting stories, I won't be able to tell you anything.

I don't know C++ too deeply but from the little bit in the article, it seems like these `enum class` enums are actually Newtypes with associated constants instead of actual enumerations. They clearly don't 'enumerate' al

The question is about who has the control and who has the responsibility. There are users who want (or need) a curated, trustworthy experience. For them, an app store that heavily reviews all apps allowed on there and puts lots of restricti

It is actually that. If you are including an svg using <img> then you can no longer, say, change the stroke color. It also does not inherit your css from the rest of your site even on first load. Your svg is treated like any other reg

I think your case comes under the "specific reason to use `float`"? If I am writing some code and I need floating point numbers, then without any more context, I will choose `double`. If I have context and the context makes it so

What the exceptional case is depends on the what the pre- and post-conditions of the function are. If a function assumes that the user is logged in then the user not being logged in is indeed exception. Not to say that it is good design tho
