You may disagree with OP's interpretation, but they would hardly be the first to interpret Genesis 2:7 as equating breath with life. Job 33:4 is a more direct assertion of the "life comes from God's breath" hypothesis, a

A common scenario where a partial failure may occur is throttling. If you have a client that is permitted to perform 10 query per second and they submit a GraphQL request with 11 queries, the server is within its rights to return the result

GraphQL treats HTTP as a dumb pipe. All semantically relevant information is encoded in the GraphQL messages, and none of the HTTP metadata is relevant to the query posed by the client or the response returned by the server. In theory, this

You'd also need some way to revoke keys signed by the root if a valid hardware key were lost, stolen, or confiscated. I think Yubico will actually do something like this for large enough customers, though revocation is left as an exerc

Yes. There have been multiple front-page news articles in the NY Times in the past month about people getting spam texts from themselves. The fact that caller ID is unreliable is part of the public discourse today. FWIW, I had to answer the

The recent surge in spam texts that show as having been sent by the recipient[0] has driven this point home for a lot of mobile phone users. For me, the fact that caller ID is fake was made evident when a spammer used my number as their o

FWIW, I thought the "Easy." you cite was meant sarcastically. The full context is: > The same as national health insurance. You make a law that everyone must be served by the banks. Easy. and national health insurance is famous

Everyone in the US with a cell phone is getting inundated these days with spam texts and calls with fake caller ID. It's almost inconceivable that someone with an American cell phone wouldn't know that phone ID is a lie, which is

FWIW, I think "inappropriate" is being misinterpreted here. A word or phrase can be semantically inappropriate even when the grammar and spelling are otherwise correct, like "most unique" or when it's clear from con

"Landlord" is gendered; people still regularly use "landlady" to refer to a woman property owner/lessor. There's room for a neologism here. Maybe "landliege" to keep it sounding feudal?
