Would it be correct to say that Angular (Ivy) works essentially the same way as Svelte?

What's wrong with the new keyboard (touch bar aside)? I haven't tried one yet, but I thought it was supposed to be more or less the same as the 2013 - 2015 MBP's.

This is such a bizarre unforced error. Why would they just arbitrarily remove a row of the keyboard? Taking it away and asking why I need it is like asking why I need right-click, pinch-to-zoom, or my left pinky finger. It makes no sense th

Yep. The US may have been no saint, but the Japanese Empire was every bit as much of a "cartoon villain" as Nazi Germany.

It's interesting how consistent all this news has been with the Penn & Teller: Bullshit! episode on recycling from over 15 years ago. From what I recall, the takeaway was that recycling anything other than glass, paper, or aluminum

Argbash is great. I found the output unnecessarily verbose for the simple functionality that I wanted, so the way I've used it has been to put the following in a script/function and then eval the output: https://gist.gi

That sounds like a great idea. At the same time, I can't help but imagine all the conspiracy theories that would result from the government sending pills to everyone in the country. One approach could be to have the government just sta

Well, I assume that it is a possible result. Those wars could always escalate to a nuclear apocalypse, with a combination of famine and climate disasters picking off the survivors.

I actually just started learning Japanese in my free time a few nights ago. (No particular reason aside from that it seemed like fun.) I've got nothing really to add here, except that I've been using LingoDeer (another app in the

Agreed. Maybe it's gotten better, but when I used HughesNet in the middle of the woods in Maine, I would say it was comparable to dial-up except with worse latency and reliability. Anything in the ballpark of a 4G connection would have

The difference between belief and faith is that belief may be substantiated by evidence and can change with new evidence. I believe that kangaroos are real. If there were suddenly overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I would say okay an

On a related note, this just reminded me that back in college, whenever I felt like taking a break from working, I would suggest to my smoker friends that we take a "smoke break" despite that I've never smoked a cigarette in

For that example, I would just use Decaffeinate to migrate to ES6, upgrade to TypeScript + AngularJS 1.5+ best practices as OP did, and then follow the official AngularJS -> Angular migration path. Considering they're two entirely d

To be fair, they wouldn't look weird if you just held a cane while wearing them. They could probably even fit some electronics into a cane form factor.

TweetNaCl.js is great. I'd go with that if you really need something smaller than libsodium. Presumably it shares the downsides of TweetNaCl ("doesn't wipe internal buffers [...] [and] has two harmless instances of undefined

This may be a stupid question, but what does "client/server" mean in this context? I would interpret it to mean any networked or Internet-based application that has both client- and server-side logic, which obviously isn'

I would go with libsodium.js (which binds to the native C library in Node.js) if you just need to encrypt/decrypt in general, especially if you anticipate building out other cryptographic features in the future. If you need AES in part

That's a fair point, to some extent. If you're specifically looking to perform symmetric encryption on a string with a string-encoded password, then yes, SJCL is easier to use. The documentation is centered around that one simple

I would personally recommend libsodium.js as the default choice for a JS crypto library: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.js Fundamental issues with JS/web crypto aside, that is. You would still need somethin

I think Snap is a great way forward. I get the argument that shared libraries let you update one package to get a fix for the entire system without relying on any number of maintainers to independently stay on top of security issues, but in
