People can be impacted negatively without them wilting and pouting over it. Feelings are also very intangible. They might not even realize it themselves if it demoralizes them. Just the same as many people don't fully understand why th

I'd suggest fixing the front page, which claims ADT support which seems untrue, and the tail recursive example isn't tail recursive at all. Errors like that make this too easy to dismiss.

It's unfortunate that the JWT encoding scheme of the signed data (non-normative JSON -> base64 -> concatenate with a dot) does not lend itself well to hash-chaining. JWTs could have been a great standard encoding for macaroons. (

I don't really see what JWT got to do with it. It's just an encoding format, and whether you put session state in the token is orthogonal.

I couldn't disagree more. Most people are capable of understanding historical context, and many are capable of empathizing. For example, you don't have to have been poor to contribute solve poverty.

I commute regularly on the US101 from San Francisco to Mountain View. I second brianpan that the car doesn't need to move over, and predictable stable behavior is more valuable. However, I do notice that Teslas drive more in the middle

Like a ping-pong ball vs a golf ball. The gravitational force is smaller on a light object, so less drag is required to counter it. Being the same shape, that drag is reached at a lower speed than for the heavy object.

There may be a bias due to the fact that the leaks are only from one law firm, which may have targeted regional markets. Business ties to Asia don't have to mean you were more likely to have offshore companies, but it may mean you were

Client certs are still a bit of a pain. There is already an IETF spec in the works, called Token Binding, on how to bind tokens to key pairs that clients maintain, and create on demand. https://github.com/TokenBinding/I

Not a bug per se, but Airbus claimed some of the delays in the production of A380 were due to incompatible designs from two different versions of the CAD software used. http://calleam.com/WTPF/?p=4700

Sorry, my intention was not to discuss merits of anonymity or privacy. I do agree those are good. My point was that in discussing things like cryptocurrency (and other technical matters), many of its advocates go to arguments like yours wit

Better yet, change the tradition such that the elected MPs don't pick themselves as cabinet members, but hire competent professionals in each field. In Iceland, no laws nor articles of constitution need to change to do this. All we nee

The kind of channels* the article talks about are not delivery mechanisms, but primarily a synchronization primitive. They have little to do with serialization, and indeed "sending" references to data without having to encode them

That's a strange title. The article is about "the oldest known torrent that's still active." Assuming "active" means "being shared" then it's a bit of a tautology, isn't it?
