And that is perfectly fine by me. There's a very limited subset of features which would require this kind of explicit authorization.

In general I agree with your "don't blame the programmer" point, but I would seriously hesitate to criticize fork(). Yes, in 2014, that behavior seems uncommon and it seems like very poor design to lump such destructive behav

I think "cautious" is a better word. What aspect of this story was sensationalist?

Nor is I even Qt! It's a web view.

i don't think the explanation as to why this works is correct. the poster says it's because Google and Microsoft "have been working closely with Netflix to get the needed DRM code required for HTML5 streaming", yet: 1. t

i highly, highly doubt that, but i'd love to be proven wrong. what's the best example of an OS X-native-looking Qt app you know of?

I had no idea Lumosity was that old. I assumed it was a recent fad in the past year or so... at least that's when I first heard of it because of all the ads.

So, "Other"?

What? Why? I disagree on all of those points. Promises are inconsistent[0], slow[1], and I find them a hassle compared to async. The Node.js core and community convention is to use callbacks and callback-embracing tooling for a good reason.
