From my reading, it appears off of any standards track it might have had -- it remains something Apple made up and can change however they like. Which would be a great reason for not implementing it in an open browser.

Also latest Chrome. Few companies could get away with this UX, but Apple is one of them.

Non-technical person's reply: Don't be silly! I understand the interpretation of information in a conversation; if someone were doing this I could tell. But I don't understand cryptography mathematical mumbo-jumbo. Therefore

I have the same problem with "tree shaking". Granted it's not a bastardization of an established term, but it's a reinvention and confounding of terms we already had. I guess the one thing to take away from this is that

Runtime speed also. Requiring only one copy means only one instance is parsed and optimized by the js engine. Which saves time and heats cache.

The most horrifying part of this for me is that (as someone who doesn't want to be part of the Facebook grind)... this actually compels me to sign up for Facebook for business visa reasons. So in a way this policy nudges me to patroniz

When you're presenting yourself to garner the favor of an agent, there is no such thing as optional.

Even if so, if you "learned Javascript" as opposed to "learned last big thing", then it will look the same to you.

Today I learned the modern browser has even more caches than I thought it did. Actually, good web engineer interview question might be how many caches there are in a web request. A good interview could easily end up with 20 on the whiteboar

This is promising. But on the flip side, seeing those graphs reminds me that one of the deadliest drugs remains popular with 70% of everyone.

I find it sociologically interesting how layers of math and publishing indirection can be used to convince people that someone's opinions and biases (hand labels) might in fact be statistically significant facts about the world. To the

Two problems: - Unlike the host, URIs are a property of the request, not the connection, so sending it as part of the connection handshake doesn't really make sense. - Unlike the host, there is a very long history of putting secret thi

Welcome back! One of the worst parts of open source is when someone who has been happily getting value out of your free product for 4 years opens an issue to complain about how quality has gone downhill, and you need to fix a few things.

When the features start rolling out, the market entrenches the status quo. Props to 1Password though; this is a symptom and they are not the cause. I guess the reasonable next step, when all the outrage has fizzled, is pre-screening. Pay fo

I don't understand how that avoids looping. If your program doesn't loop waiting for interrupts, it has terminated. So it won't be getting those interrupts.

Doesn't any program that processes interactive/network IO require an infinite loop? Are those programs not useful?

If these are all standard security concerns, doesn't that make this a standard security pastebin? I think the point is that it's an extraordinary claim with unextraordinary evidence.

Hm, I like Github but I don't like this. This is a great move, but we already have a code hosting monoculture, and this subtly piggy-backs on it towards lock-in for tooling. Github knows orgs have inertia. Sorry for the slippery slopei

I think it greatly depends on the kind of pentesting. A military network is different from a bank, or an AWS site, or a social network. It's a guess, but I would suspect the market is saturated -- by opportunists, not talent -- leading

No, the transistor replaced the vacuum tube, which everyone was already using. When the transistor was invented everyone rushed to use it because it was clear what it was good for.

I wholeheartedly recommend reading about the right to free speech, because I think you might be confused about what it means.

Some mode of online social interaction that seems ridiculous now but will seem obvious in retrospect. This will be milked for ads and acquired by a big player while me-toos nibble the ends in the aftermath. The market will grow from zero to

What's your selling point to advertisers though? That you're a worse-targeted version of the big guys? You could say you're more user-friendly, but I don't think that's a premium most advertisers are willing to subs

Heh. Since this only works before a reboot and Windows 10, by design, destructively reboots with no recourse, I could imagine this ironic farce: a) security holes lead to a ransom, b) security holes let you reverse the ransom, but c) forced

- Keep it simple, stupid. Advanced is not a compliment. - Languages and frameworks don't matter. There's a closed set of concepts they're all reusing. Especially if it's hot shit: that means someone mined ideas from 30 y

I see what you're saying, but that looks like a function call embedded in the HTML. Embedding your programming into HTML doesn't make it any less programming. Otherwise, you could say web programming doesn't exist since it&#x

It's very much heads I win, tails you lose for Disney. Free advertising (heck I didn't know this was coming out but now I'll probably see it), and more ammunition to bend the law to prop up their business model.

Thank you, that's a pleasant surprise! Cheap and painless enough that it makes me want to try my hand at an ARG with fake corporations.
