Threading macros, core.async in Clojure that does quite a bit of code rewriting, anaphoric macros, with- macros that bind to some context, destructing in Clojure, slingshot's try+/catch+ in Clojure. None of that is strictly imposs

Not a big believer in the concept that you need a lot of interactions with many different people for a good "socialization". But just watching e-learning videos everyday is definitely not the best idea. Trying to replicate the usu

I would love edn if it was viable as a standalone format. In practice, programming in clojure it's plain JSON vs transit vs fressian. I tend to go with just JSON.

Well, since this survey does in fact include "nonfree" javascript it would imply the authors don't subscribe to that mindset but mentioned it out of respect to those who do. I'm not sure how much this inhibits Emacs. It&

Wouldn't feel too bad about not completely understanding every layouting feature. Many essentially introduce their own logic. Other than the box model there may not be that much commonality between them. My best advice is to just alway

When you know a user is likely not coming back you've got virtually nothing to lose by sending them a push or email notification. Active users don't need to get any.

I'm arguing against the specific point that merely leaking secret keys would give anybody great access. As far as I understand it the governments are not asking for backdoored transport layer encryption. They want the data one stores o

Well, that's part of the point. Governments have been doing mass collections for decades and a lot of that might be cleartext. As far as I know this has not lead to random hackers obtaining great access. So it's preposterous to cl

Do you mean in-app or push? I'd say in-app really depends on the application. As long as they're using it that's great. But giving up push (or emails and so forth) is much tougher. It's pretty powerful to have the abilit

Data obtained via a backdoors could very well be used against the companies themselves not just users.

There are much more fundamental issues with doing any research on drugs like this. First there's a huge selection issue, many won't ever want to take it. Since the drug has a strong effect you cannot easily design a placebo study

Never followed it on a daily basis but come across them once in a while. Most are pretty in line with mainstream right wing commentary just more vague and hyperbolic. Then you've got some crazy claims. But these too seem to be sourced

It's like hacking. Most hackers won't be able to hack a specific target. But with a wide enough net they will get some hits. And the hits are usually due to the victim doing something really stupid rather than the hacker's ab

Well for the vast majority of simple apps you're better off failing when everybody else is. People will blame it on you less. When your alternative solution fails and everything else seems to be up the blame will fall on you.
