I'm not a JS developer but I imagine that the amount of JavaScript code isn't the most relevant part if most of it isn't being called. I mean, if you have some particularly heavy code that only runs when you click a button, i

How is it a “humble brag” that I donated three bucks to an open source project? The only reality here is that you’re acting like a fundamentally unpleasant person

I just donated the minimum amount to Signal through the app (~$3), I encourage all other users to do the same, because every time a Signal article is posted it’s a reminder how dystopian IM would be if there was no realistic, privacy respec

Not to mention the inability to enforce full disk encryption and (hopefully) avoid leakage when someone quits. It’s obviously not a silver bullet but at least then leakage must be hostile action or incompetence by transferring sensitive dat

> The whole country is a gigantic house of cards propped up by real estate That’s quite the statement, I assume you have quite the source for it. The price-to-rent ratio isn’t that far off from the US, for example.

The fact that you are blocked from visiting a website does not mean that it has been “taken down”. I don’t know exactly what the domain you’re trying to access is but most likely this block is at a DNS level, so just stop using the DNS serv

Not strictly an answer to your question regarding the math, but the video I linked above does mention an estimate for how long the period might have been.

The company that once was known for the phrase “If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going” is now seeing airlines sending their own auditors. There’s really no other way to interpret this than a complete breakdown of trust and confidence. Absolutel
