I've never heard anyone describe Ethereum as a "database company". This whole blog post is nonsensical.

Arbitrary code execution fell under an "educational" exemption, I think. Also, the app store review process is highly variable based on the reviewer. I'm not an iOS developer but I bet your paths into the JS engine API depend

I'm one of those nonexistent people. I have Firefox for personal use and then Chrome for work stuff. Depending on the app launching the link, I choose the browser myself. The new work profile container stuff has somewhat reduced the ut

So is the browser stuff fixed then? IIRC, "default browser" was left to individual apps and it was implemented as the app requesting a URI of https:// or chromeHttps:// (or something like that. It was total A

You've mooted a very good point. The English language is full of contradictions and condones many deceptive spellings.

When using package.json, does npm intercept a script containing "rm -rf" and translate it to something different?

This seems to be missing the obvious point: Make isn't anchored to any single language. If you will only ever use npm for your entire life, then you go ahead an live happily in package.json script land. But I've lost track of the

Make has worked on Windows longer than Node.js has existed.

While I agree that Scratch quickly runs out of gas as kids get older, I don't think a Lisp shell is the next best step. The number of kids who are going to find recursion and math intrinsically fascinating is small. It seemed kind of o

I had no idea that existed. From my perspective, the feature vanished into thin air. I wasn't a heavy podcast listener so this was kind of a Google Reader situation; I simply stopped listening to podcasts.

GPM had podcast integration. Being a cloud service, it synced state to all my devices. Until last month, kids could not use YTM. With the family plan, this was basically a DOS for years (or setup new kids accounts and lie about their age).

Devices are disposed of (becomes waste) long before they become broken from whiskers. That makes RoHS a net-win by reducing toxic materials from landfills full of phones with broken screens and kitschy doodads with broken plastic.

On the contrary, I am not NASA. I'm not even a consumer electronics company. I'm a hobbyist at home, soldering things at my desk or table. Lead-free is the least of my problems when building something and I don't believe &quo

It doesn't seem that far reaching. There's a difference between "foreign citizen action" and "foreign government action". If another government comes to your territory, to break your laws and deprive one of you

In terms of human lives, it's the right deal. Past that, it's the worst possible scenario: Ukraine's territory is not rightfully and completely restored while Russia's economy is nearly irrecoverable, leading it to becom

Russia's losses today would be much higher if they could figure out logistics. Ukraine might be running out of targets on the front lines. /s More seriously, think about it percentage wise. Russia is losing resources (tanks, miss

Of course but if you read closely, I mentioned Erdogan, who purged secular military leadership, started buying Russian SAMs, and bombed US-backed Kurdish fighters. It makes for super awkward dinners back at the NATO clubhouse. And while I&#

Correct, with a side dish of cynical disgust. At least Sweden's potential membership is less complicated than Turkey or Ukraine. People got real nervous with Erdogan and while Ukraine may be a democratic country, it's also not a w

Translation: Russia has been absolutely crippled by sanctions so the threat has passed, meaning we don't have to do anything.

I figured it was that concerted civilian targeting will force NATO to act. Or perhaps that the close ties between the two countries is still somewhat able to override Putin's shitty bloodthirsty instincts in some ways.

How was RISC-V for setting up the toolchain? ESP32 was a bit confusing (I'm also a Rust newbie) and AVR/Arduino is stuck on an old version (2021-01-07) due to a bug.

Sheesh, organization and hierarchy are not the problems with file systems. It's the APIs and the network awareness. Can someone name a network filesystem that doesn't suck horribly in some way? Samba? NFS? CephFS? GlusterFS? They

Harping on about how individuals can reduce energy usage in computing but not talking about Bitcoin is directly comparable to pushing lame individual recycling efforts but ignoring coal power plants and industrial scale methane leaks.
