There's clearly no fail-safe (even moderately so) solution to this problem on the centralized internet. Yet more reason for Secure Scuttlebutt, Dat and IPFS to exist.

Typescript may not work for all types of applications - in fact there is no language that does. So picking one project and generalizing it often comes out of inexperience. As a counter example, VSCode is easily bigger than the Deno codebase

It's unfair to lay the blame squarely on private companies when things like this happen. If we have to defend freedom, democratic nations need to step up. The US probably will (for various reasons), but Europe won't. Europe will

This was one of the most downloaded apps in India for the last week. It doesn't really uninstall anything, just shows you a list of apps that you could uninstall. I hope the developers have some recourse, this clearly seems to be a fre

I've used plenty of Oracle; it's a poor choice (probably the worst) for organisations of any size. People buy Oracle in large corporations because that's what their leaders and their team know, and it helps them stay relevant

CoreRT is definitely the most exciting project in the .Net stable. But there seems to be some people within MS who don't want to go in that direction - mostly for the reason that it won't be compatible with all of the existing cod

Nice. I made something similar, but for JavaScript https://github.com/jeswin/basho It's very useful to be able to automate with a language you already know. I use it quite a bit now, for instance to figure out whi

A big benefit with static typing is the ability to refactor easily. It takes time to get design and code right, in a way that captures the requirements well as well as code quality. With static typing, you get immediate feedback while you t

But that's not what parent was saying, I think. He was saying that WebGL not being opt-in was a security disaster; while saying nothing about the security hardening of the WebGL module itself. Even when a module is well tested, I'

Once a machine gets old, I usually donate it to somebody who can use it further. In that regard, my Surface Book 2 is one purchase that I wholly regret. Once the battery dies there is no way it can be replaced - not even by Microsoft. They

I have mild breathing issues during winters, which affects my sleep and I used to wake up with a headache. The fingertip SpO2 meter helps quantify the problem, so it was a good buy. According to my readings, headaches were bad when my readi

If there are a significant number of deaths in India, it will not go unnoticed; whether they happen in slums or elsewhere. India has chaotic but functional healthcare reporting and oversight, and they're actively tracking the epidemic

The solution could be to give that option to users; a way to mark a website or app as trusted or not. Apple's approach on the other hand really sets the web apps back, which I (as a privacy concious individual) am more comfortable usin

I looked at Vue.js and came away with the impression that it requires me to learn a lot of framework-specific implementation details. For instance, a list requires that you know the v-for directive, while in React it's just JavaScript&

As an ex-VB6 programmer, my view is that Microsoft has been fairly supportive of VB users. - The IDE itself was supported for 10 years, till 2008 - The runtime is supported till 2024, which is like 26 years. I think you can get it to work o

That's not what I implied. What's important is the possibility of something better having a shot at success. One could argue that a browser based on Chromium rather than Webkit, could work better for their needs on iOS. Unfortunat

There are other browsers with significant market share on Android, such as UC Browser. The reason they have chosen Chromium as the base is because it is easier for them to build on it, and not because Google enforced it as a policy on Andro

If a tool analyzed the JS AST, it could conclude (with fairly trivial analysis) that emily2 is a shallow clone of emily1. No such guarantee is possible with the Java version.

by jeswin 7y ago
Why not do what JS does? val emily2 = { ...emily1, age: 30 }; This has many advantages, one being that it provably and declaratively creates a copy, which is not the case with the builder. In fact the obsession with methods (and henc
