I have seen this software (well, not this software, a military equivalent) save a life in real time so it'd be very hard to convince me. Quoting an earlier reply from last year: > When I was in the Israeli army, I personally saw a p

People selling ransomware tools are not legal companies regulated by the Israeli and US government. If NSO didn't pay income tax or wasn't regulated by governments I'd agree. To be clear: I think the poor job regulating tools

Think about this reasonably. I've worked with intelligence bodies before and they would never run something like pegasus on a cloud or connected to the internet. Products like Pegasus are almost always an on-prem enterprise-product it&

I see their point - I think weapon sales (like Pegasus) should be regulated but blaming the company is kind of silly. It's exactly like blaming Colt for weapon sales. Should weapon sales be regulated? Sure. Is NSO regulated by both the

Yeah I’m not professional (I have a BSc in mathematics) and all this looks fairly introductory. Moreover there are lots of easy ways to calculate these constants like Pi (like taylor series) not even mentioning e can be easily calculated to

They actually recently added this feature - you have a "this answer is outdated" button you can press. Note sure what the reputation threshold to see it is.

It's not really a wrapper - it's a client in client/server architecture - the difference is important because it means that .NET is a first-class citizen here (like selenium and unlike tools like puppeteer-sharp) and that upd

I think you're thinking of Puppeteer? Playwright has stuff like automatically waiting for elements, selecting by text etc all built in - with modern JavaScript/TypeScript, none of the weird chaining syntax and debugger. There are

We use both Testim.io and Playwright for performance testing. I work at Microsoft but at a completely unrelated team and while I know some of the folks who work on playwright I have no official affiliation and my opinions represent my own a

One interesting point from there (regarding their old FullCodeGen original JIT compiler): > Isn’t this just FullCodeGen? > Kind of! It’s FullCodeGen for modern V8, and that’s not such a bad thing. This brings the performance benefits

If anyone is interested here is the SparkPlug design document I have bookmarked from a few months back: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13c-xXmFOMcpUQNqo66XWQt3u...

You can also do that with Deno: - Built in testing library - Lint with `deno lint` - Bundle with `deno bundle` - Format with `deno fmt`

I'd pay for fast remote builds that integrate into my source control (GitHub and Azure DevOps) and creates production builds fast.

Ok, so how is thousands of servers 0.1%? That implies they have millions of servers or one for every 9000 people on earth - are companies this size really that wasteful in terms of servers needed?

Haskell has one of the _clearest_ distinctions between red/blue functions that I know. Functions that perform I/O (sans unsafePerformIO and other strange things) are very explicit about it (by returning an `IO` monad). Most other

Basically, in JS you could have multiple colors (with generators that imitate `do` notation pretty well) and you can obviously implement any monadic structure with bind you'd want. The thing is: having less generic abstractions (and fe

Just wanted to say thanks for your work! As an OSS maintainer (Node.js and a bunch of popular JS libs with millions of weekly downloads) - I feel how _tempting_ it is to trust people and assume good faith. Often since people took the time t

Startups sometimes (initially) develop applications for only one platform. Reducing the cost for (new) developers makes platforms more appealing to target (presumably).

The data (in solid for example) isn't local - it's just controlled by the user. The key point is that the user's data is decoupled from your service - it's not necessarily decentralised. Backups are handled (by the user)

I think you are barking up the wrong tree. First when you take our extremely complicated political situation and shove it into a 1d box it comes off as both condescending and paternalistic. The situation is complicated and difficult, I am n

As an Israeli who was involved in Gaza Sky Geeks but didn’t get to follow up with mentees I just wanted to share that your story is inspiring and encouraging and congratulations on your hard earned job. It’s shameful we have so many bright

Very exciting! This is super useful for Node.js - I've had PRs with features I didn't land because of this and I intend to investigate again e.g. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/35877

Thanks! 60 days would still be very interesting to get results for if-only to understand the technology (mRNA vaccines) better for future viruses. A lot of claims were made about how mRNA vaccination was revolutionizing how we approach thes

91.6% seems like a very good result for this vaccine and a big confidence boost to the companies that bought it. I'm waiting for the J&J results after two-dose immunisation given this vaccine takes a similar (non mRNA) approach and

Also I have to admit I take a lot of pride in thanks on SO questions I have answered and projects I maintain. It’s also a big contrast to the toxic micro celebritism culture we often have.

As a maintainer “thanks” is actually pretty common. Also companies send you chocolates/swag (but not money) pretty often which is cool. That said it is still very nice. I opened at least 10 such issues myself because they cost me nothi

It would be really nice if people built more on native promises and not bluebird. There was a time when bluebird was really great and useful but I think native promises are the better option now. (Source: I maintain bluebird and worked a bi

I agree with the sentiment but just want to mention Playwright isn't the "successor" of Puppeteer and both have pros and cons. Puppeteer is very much still in active development.
