It is common in colloquial English to use "they"/"their" as a generic third person singular. For example: "Could the person who left their umbrella please pick it up?" However, here it is used in a rathe

To me and many others it feels as a forced, immature (almost childlike), aloof desire for change. You use words like ‘rebalance’ as if there is an objective, universally shared belief our culture is out of balance. Thank God we have you as

In LISP-like languages a compiler/interpeter is a simple example.

That’s a simplification. The events leading up to a crash are important. The spatial understanding of the situation on the road, the behavior of other drivers and other factors all play a role in the seconds before a crash.

LISP is a notable exception. Btw, I do believe a compiler should be one of the examples of a new language.

I only just read this comment. It is golden. Now we should just bookmark this comment and use the term teflon tech as often as possible to make it stick (euhm...)

The first workaround also crossed my mind, but it had a couple of drawbacks. First, it required contractual work with a CA and they can easily say: it's not our problem, it is the browser. The amount of time required to set this up wou

With regards to the toxicity, I was referring to the Intercept [1] article which appeared last year. It's a long read and details the manufacturing process. Nevertheless, where there is smoke... [1] https://theintercept.com&

I kind of like the ingenuity of the approach. Never occurred to me to use non-active content.

Sorry, I might initially have caused this mess, thinking browsers would fix it sooner than later.
341.
by edejong 7y ago
I see it is fixed now. I thought up this work-around back in 2014, when NPAPI was phased out. Spotify and another large player came up with similar solutions.

I read extensive parts of the CORS specification and it is indeed teflon (and just as toxic as teflon as well). The spec is full of exceptions and leaves many choices to the browser vendors. To truly understand CORS, you have to fundamental

by edejong 7y ago
The reason the developers didn't use CORS is because active mixed content isn't allowed. You simply cannot call ' http://localhost' from a https domain. For a medical SaaS application which needed to communica

Sarcasm? If not, I’d say Debian and Ubuntu still have a large market share and most Linux is still open source. Perhaps you mean Enterprise Linux?

Start writing ex commands. That way it’s append only.

Bonus points: paint it black on the other side with spray paint and use light markers.

There does not need to be a 'quantity' of evidence. Merely that the evidence can be refuted (not taken at face value). A 'proof' is what I associate in popular media with scientific evidence. 'Think' is code-wo

Wrt downvoting: I’ve seen some really trigger happy downvoting on other comments as well, even though the argument was cogent. It would be nice to reserve downvoting for clearly stupid comments.

I was attempting to make the point that status and money are only partly connected.

I intentionally leave my position on climate change out of the discussion, because it is irrelevant. Also, my qualifications on this topic, how little I might have, should not interfere with finding common grounds. However, if it helps, I d

Thanks for that question tickerticker. Upvoted you so you get extra status. Let’s see what lsanger might reply later?

Short answer, because I really have to get some sleep. You assume people are incentivized by price, but people are incentivized by status. That's why they buy fake Rolexes and put themselves in extreme debt. Connect CO_2 emissions with

It's a bit old research, and probably flawed, but at least some researchers tried to answer this question back in 2008: https://searchengineland.com/calculating-the-carbon-footprin...

Supermarkets already do this. They store it for much longer than several years.

There is complete accounting in the food chain. It is precisely known where your lettuce was grown, when and how it was transported, stored, frozen, thawed and placed in the supermarket. It is even known who's picking it up from the sh

Where do I attack the legitimacy of science ? Could you please quote me? The phrase, 'scientists say...' is often connected to hypotheses scientists have, which are partly backed up by models or proof. Often popular media falls b

Please, if you down-vote, engage with my arguments. I am intentionally not picking sides, but pointing out flaws which I believe need to be fixed.

What would happen if we would publish each individual estimated CO_2 emissions of the past year? You'd be obliged to place it under your emails, on your Facebook and LinkedIn account and it'll be placed squarely on your WhatsApp p
