We still shouldn't let them off the hook for their invasive telemetry lately, but for such a large, energy hungry company to be carbon negative is legitimately a great thing.

I think I’m alone in this, but JavaScript is a neat language that is incredibly powerful and expressive (minus a few warts). Most of the problems that arise from it seem to come from undisciplined work habits and a lack of code review. As l

IDEs aren’t that necessary if you have strong command line skills. The only ide feature I really miss is autocomplete because it’s a pain to remember method names

I did that a lot at my last job and found that the debugging was pretty quick. There’s always some race condition from some asynchronous function somebody called without waiting for the callback. Does TS help with that?

I started using chrome originally 10ish years ago because the company tech person said it was good and fast (I was not in tech at the time). I think you’re right. (I use Firefox now)

Is this a pure publicity stunt, or is foreign hacking getting worrisome enough that it’s outweighing a tiny bit of their desire to hack people?

What sort of privacy protections does purism offer when you use librem apps? Anyone experiment with this so far?

I wrote a lot of sequence diagrams for tasks I worked on and saved the interesting ones. Also, finding somebody senior to explain a module pays off big time. Also, learn the database schema: all an app really does is manipulate data

I find that every 1000 lines of code I write, my productivity goes down a bit more. Without refactoring, my code just gets really coupled and it gets harder to change. Your position is that the time cost of refactoring is less than that of

Tests are there to catch issues. In a way, almost every bug that makes it to production is a test bug. Not to mention the inconsistent tests that fail so randomly from timing issues that the team ignores them

I don’t like how passportjs doesn’t clearly document what it does. After rolling my own as an experiment, I have a mental checklist of things I’d like to evaluate it for, but don’t want to go exploring the code base to get the answers

You get a degree of cryptographic security by using a sufficiently large and random token - ie, attackers computers cannot spam guesses fast enough to get a hit in any reasonable amount of time. I can’t remember what the exact requirements

I found bcrypt was easier to set up than argon2. Apparently argon2 can be misconfigured if you are not familiar enough with it

What does it mean to do salting by default?

Is /udev/random considered secure? Edit: never mind, your article named it as a good choice

My understanding has always been that nodejs was ideal for high io workloads with a light cpu load. Having it sleep for 100ms per request is a little strange for nodejs though because it is basically simulating cpu load, even though a node

Any other resources you would recommend? I read that physics is particularly time consuming for example. Thanks for the replies so far; it’s very fun to see your work

I think all that counts. I guess I’m just tempted to make a game engine as a hobby project. I made an OpenGL renderer in uni once (it was fun), but I don’t really know what the scope would be to extend it substantially - obviously, not to “

Generally, it’s safest to assume that any waterproof material is non-breathable. If you exert yourself in them, you sweat and trap that sweat inside the membrane, often guaranteeing to soak yourself even if the rain lets up. Windbreakers wi

Your site says you taught computer graphics for a while. Do you have any other resources to recommend, or even a list of suggested topics? I really enjoyed my intro to computer graphics course but wasn’t able to take any follow ups
