Well yeah, it's unusual enough to be worth mentioning that a historian is interested in social theory. As an example of the stuff they read that you might not expect.

You're right, it's not as bad. But the metaproblem here is making the assumption that the global environment is not going to add new APIs. In the case of Angular zones, if additional async APIs are added to the browser, Angular ne

Given that we tend to over-emphasise the differences between ideological positions that we're more familiar with, and under-emphasise the difference between positions that we aren't, it's hard to see how an exercise like this

Another vote for Typescript here. For one because it's a really nice modern type system that doesn't get in your way too much. Also because if you're already familiar with node, you'll be able to focus on the language ra

Thought experiment: Say that I have a raspberry pi or similar. What hardware do I need to plug a sim card in and connect to a mobile network? Can I order it from a commodity supplier?

Aside from project size, the problem domains of libraries are likely to vary hugely between languages. With statically typed languages being biased towards either systems programming or more algorithmically complex tasks. The proportion of

In all seriousness, a browser extension that flags sponsored content would be great.

Exactly. Apart from anything else, we already have HTML. Why would you want to write a lowest common denominator UI that only targets the Apple ecosystem? You'd be getting neither the benefits of native nor the benefits of cross-platfo

Its popularity in undergraduate philosophy courses reflects the fact that it is easy to criticise more than it telling us something interesting about consciousness.

They had the Monkees back then. We have real artists now. Have things changed so much?

I am 99% sure that both China and the US would be happy with a deal along the lines of "The regeime goes, but NK stays a Chinese satellite", assuming that such a deal were feasible without risking huge destruction and loss of life

Most embeddable webviews allow binding additional methods that call into native though. This is how cordova works, in fact. If you're restricting access to local html/js, it shouldnt be any different to nw/electron from a sec

Or even better, use the platform's native webview.

You're right, I really meant to point out that there's an interesting relationship between markets and computational complexity (and that it's odd for the efficient markets hypothesis if it assumes that P=NP) rather than advo

Which is a actually sort of related to why markets are useful: Providing an approximation of a solution to the problem of allocating resources where an optimal solution is unfeasible due to complexity.

Smaller apps would probably benefit from an electron-like system that just uses the inbuilt system browser. I'm not aware of any such projects, though.

Even if you don't use a minifier on the server, a library built using any kind of transpiler (babel, coffeescript, typescript...) could be susceptible to this kind of attack.

Is there a reason that machine languages don't allow the programmer/compiler/runtime to explicitly control the CPU's cache & instruction pipeline? Presumably they have access to much better information about the code

Also, since classes are mutable, calling a method in a multithreaded environment may result in lock contention, which I imagine being tricky in a driver. So using obj-c in the kernel might require giving up some of the language's dynam
