I feel that there is a categoric misunderstanding here: there is no "natural" conversion rate between "parking footage" and "abitable footage", the claim from the book is just saying "There are a lot of pa

I suspect that they are counting the parking surface nationwide to living space surface nationwide, not just domestic parking. For example this would include all the parking spaces at schools, offices, walmarts, etc.

I would say that people should be more open to using HTTP in non-REST ways. Sometimes you want to send a request and receive a response, with arbirtrary restrictions and side effects that suit your cases. There are a lot of good reason for

I see it as more important to realize that not all questions are well formed enough to have a right solution. A test question like "6 / 2 (1 + 2) = ?" is not asking for the mathematical meaning of those symbols it is asking f

I believe wasm will allow for far greater opportunities for code obfustation. You can already do things like http://www.jsfuck.com/ and even more complex ones, but they would likely have bad performace. With wasm you could

Also it is likely that the browser debugger will be less feturefull for wasm and that future multithreaded support will make obfuscation even easier. But it is probably already possible with JSFuck and webworkers.

by afiori 3y ago
For now wasm does not have any more risk than obfuscated JS. It is possible that there are a lot of tool to examine JS code for "suspicious code" and that those tools might not work well on WASM. In practice the WASM interpreter i

I could be a "risk assesment" service. For a given package it could run an automated web-of-trust on it together with an analysis of past history of vulnerabilities and of its mantainers. You can also add watchers to check who is

CSS has two magic values that would be useful in many configuration scenarios: - unset: ignore values of this property - initial: use the default value These would be useful e.g. with overrides. I agree that nulls in a config files are ofte

I don't think that there is any chance[0] that the autorities will go after the churches for things like these. But even if everyone tollerates the authorities turning a blind eye to the issue many would not tollerate the autorities ma

People should still report to the relevant authorities when churches do political speech. If nothing else it would keep them from actually saying "You must vote for X" and diplaying electoral posters. It could even happen that som

It must be noted that in the context of the AT protocol the "file tree" is (likely) mostly append only, flat, and with globally unique ids, that is because the commits are not for files but for database entries. If I am correct th

It would almost surely be fair use to include a snippet of code from a different library in your (inline) documentation to argue that your code reimplements a bug for compatibility reasons. In general it is not fair use if you are using th

One thing that moderation should also do is restrict which accounts can see your posts in their discovery feed. Even if the posts are public and those account would be able to navigate to the posts with a link sometime some of your follower
