There is a third point that trumps these two: having a structured format allows you to programmatically compose regular expressions. In most string encoding it is hard or unergonomic to safely embed regexes or string literals in other regex

Maybe bad example, but it reinforces the position. Had KHTML been MIT WebKit would have been likely (more) closed source.

The reasonable thing to do is to prehash the user password on the client with a Unicode normalization and a SHA-512 pass. This way you can have strong input validation server side but also allow almost arbitrary inputs client side. PS: you

The one feature on PHP that I wish was more commonplace is the `use` keyword in function expressions as it is one of the few ways to limit what names are in scope at a given point in the code IIRC Rust's `mod` declarations can behave s

I don't think you can apply this proof to the described algorithm. This proves that for i in range(min_key,max_key): swap(arr, i, choice(i, max_key)) works as a shuffle, by growing a random sub-array.* The first algori

Prosecuting bad drivers is very important, at the very least in a "Strike One to Educate One Hundred" way. On the other hand the reason for most car accidents is bad road design, especially designs that encourage high speeds.

That will be resolved during a merge/rebase and only if you are editing an already pushed commit. Overall git does use the filesystem in a lot of cases when it is not needed.

Not an expert but essentially radiations can produce electrons in random places flipping one or more transistors unexpectedly. Larger transistors need more electrons so they are slightly more resistant.
