From glossing over the spec, it seems as if this does not include a file system abstraction. Operations are based on `path` objects; there's no additional state or context that'd allow e.g. implementing a virtual in memory file sy

Said responsibility is then just not using C when you don't want buffer overflows, and by extension not using Node/JavaScript when you want readable code?

I don't think it's fair to blame developer stupidity. Formulating something asynchronously makes your code quite a bit harder to read, test, etc, so it's only natural that developers would avoid that - and builtins like JSON.

Health cost can very easily ruin you, even if you are quite well off. Even the possibly better prices negotiated by insurances for a serious illness are ruinous, and keep in mind you most likely won't have an income while you're s

Don't buy insurance for things that won't ruin you. The insurer will calculate the risk of whatever happening, and obviously charge more than likelihood * cost. So unless your risk is higher than average, you're losing money.

That's the VAT tax, comparable to the sales tax in the US, so this compares as 24% vs ~6% or so in most of the US. Income tax is separate from that, and depends on country to, but seems to work out to quite similar percentages, at leas

I work at Google, and have been using AngularJS in different projects for about three years. The OP raises a couple of good points (in particular his "The Bad Parts" are mostly valid), but I cannot understand some others, nor do I

Interesting. In German speaking media, the universal recipe I found is to use any high-heat oil (canola, sunflower, etc), fill the pan with a lot of it (3 mm of oil in the pan), then add potato peels and a lot of salt. Fry the peels (and fl

I think it's a good idea to own your own domain name, at least as a tech savvy user. You can still use Google Apps with it (Google for work now?). That being said, I think it's a bit unfair to say companies won't lift a finge

Angular 1.0 was released on Jun 13, 2012, and was built on the API developed much longer ago (and was compatible with it). So this is the first massive API change in probable well over five years, with lots of technology changes happening a

... but that usually doesn't mean you have to have your full data set in memory, only the hot parts. And even if so, one or two ~10 ms seeks during a query aren't that terrible.

Is MongoDB's distribution and scaling story really nicer? A cluster story that's easy to set up but then doesn't actually work (loses data, fails in potentially catastrophic ways) sounds not all that useful. http:/&#x2F

I think people mix up three things: (1) Transactional model. Many NoSQL databases are non-ACID, but others are (Google's stores all have some transactional guarantees). Some databases try to gain efficiency by relaxing their transactio

That's a nice exploit. It's worth noting that this is only breaching Angular's defense in depth though: input values should never make it to things evaluated against $scope; that's roughly equivalent of calling eval() on

To be fair, with all the various ways how shell scripts (not only in bash) interpolate, evaluate, substitute etc., the typical shell language is much, much harder to keep safe against code injection than say Python (or even PHP). After all,

Not if the function is inlineable or an intrinsic (console.log will likely be either), which is the most basic trick of any JIT. Unless you can specifically measure caching the length is faster, I wouldn't do it. Most of the time it do
