More precisely, it's like selling a crypto miner with every new car. The use case overlap with a piece of security software is close to zero.

This looks interesting, but the flash of white in the right pane is quite disruptive. Would there be a way to avoid that without diving into a virtual DOM?

It is generally held that "Defect" is not the optimal strategy in the Prisoner's dilemma, and that seems to be what you're arguing for here, or something analagous to it. Follow the golden rule.

I agree. Though it's possible that it makes sense to have some ideas "unified" into a single state variable if only some configurations of the pair of values are sensible, and you want to keep both in lockstep - or if thing

One of my most-used muscle memories is Win+R -> "control". Works even as far as Windows 11 and is still the most effective way to make changes happen on a Windows PC.

What do you mean but whining? I'm not DeFi fan (not by a long shot), but complaining about the practices of centralised services seems exactly in line with what a pro-DeFi person would do. There's no hypocrisy here.

The proof in the tweet gives steps to getting a solution, and the solution works. In what way is that not showing that the solution exists?

You're right of course, but I think the idea of this software is that the user (and, by extension, their input) are trusted.

And of course, it's standardised for users too, who can now expect a more unified way of interacting with government digital services.

Not sure what you mean by this. Taxes are so ubiquitous that there's literally an idiom about it.

Surely suppliers want to be paid? Accumulating a huge pile of IOUs is of zero benefit to someone who has actual real-world costs, such as taxes, payroll and capital outlays.

I assure you that the optimal way to turn flour, milk and baking powder [no eggs? -Ed.] into pancakes is to keep trying different ratios until it works properly. There's a LOT of variance in flour, milk and baking powder that make atte

If the drug has got this far into testing, there is no chance in hell that it has >0.5% chance of death (or other awful side-effects) on ingestion. So it's an upgrade either way.

Why would you think that a company's market cap (not only the relevant portion of the business, but the entire company) is a reasonable marker for how big of a player they are inside of this part of the industry? Heck, market caps at t

The problem is that due to complexity accrued over time, the 10% of features you speak about are likely going to be core to the operation of the web's most popular sites (FAANMG). And not supporting those sites means not supporting a h

The answer is that a link provided by an Apple AirTag is expected to be secure. Indeed, a page on an apple domain is expected to have been vetted entirely by Apple, and therefore earns a degree of trust by the good samaritan. As it stan
