What’s more likely here: that Twitter intends to ban people for posting screenshots of text, or that this clause doesn’t apply to that?

Yeah but I thought takeoff and landing were the two parts that still required mostly manual control?

This isn't true. Most major metros are experiencing a serious housing crisis right now. We see similar problems to SF here in Somerville and Cambridge, albeit to a lesser degree. There's certainly not enough being built to keep pa

You can still use a Yubikey without giving up any biometric data. And with the way the implementation works on Apple devices at least, your biometrics are only stored in the secure element on the device, never transmitted.

There was another thread where somebody claimed it was causally consistent. I’m sort of surprised Amazon hasn’t been clearer about this, but my feeling is that they would say it was linearizable if they were sure it was linearizable. Would

Yes, but I still prefer Mission Control. Possibly because I think in terms of apps, not windows.

A recommendation, apropos of this discussion on window management: three finger swipe up on the trackpad for Mission Control/Exposé if you need a specific window. I know trackpads are below most programmers but I’ve found this is faste

I asked below but which property of linearizability is missing here? Is it the way it handles concurrent writes?
343.
by jolux 4y ago
Yeah, ironically the way people try to do stateless backends and heavy frontends with JWT is closer to the ViewState mess than normal MVC apps.

Actually Apple does support using Touch ID and Face ID for WebAuthn on their platforms, it even works in Chrome.

Yes I actually read that paper while I was digging around but it didn’t seem to help in this case because Amazon don’t specify whether reads made after a concurrent write is made are guaranteed to return the same value as each other. If the

You successfully nerdsniped me and I'm having a lot of trouble finding discussion of the formal implications of what they call "strong consistency" here, other than reading that they did in fact formally verify it to some ext

Look at the graphics in the section "Concurrent applications," specifically the first one. At T0 Client 1 writes 'color = red.' Write 1 completes at T1. At T2 Client 2 writes 'color = ruby.' Write 2 completes a

That page does not give a hard definition for strong consistency, it says that it uses them informally as relative terms. AWS is not claiming serializability, they call it "strong read-after-write consistency." I don't see th

WebForms is an unrepresentative example because it needs to carry all the view state between the front end and backend and was enormously complicated under the hood to make the programming model easier. Nothing else works like that, the sta

What does “the representation is abstract to the utility” mean? I mean, music isn’t patentable, but it is thoroughly copyrighted.

What if there are too many bust seasons in a given period and you and all your neighbors’ stocks are depleted? These are the real problems with subsistence farming and they’re the primary reason nobody wants to do it given a choice. There’s

I had this same thought because I think Elixir and Erlang are actually similar enough that translating between them directly may be feasible and have decent results. I don’t really think forking is a good idea though. As I understand it mos

There’s no JavaScript unless you write it into the template. If you want to use LiveView that needs JavaScript but plain old templates do not. As for bloat I don’t really agree but I can see how it might appear that way. Phoenix is actually

The thing is it’s not a choice between living on lentils and fancier food, it’s a choice between having a stable food source and having a food source that is dependent on huge amounts of your own manual labor which will still sometimes fail

Subsistence farming is a nightmare, I can all but guarantee that no living subsistence farmer would choose that life over renting an apartment and having disposable income.

It’s not that there’s nothing to criticize about the US and this example is one of the worst things the US does. However a key difference is that the CIA is not doing this to American citizens, we can be sure that if it were there would be

The problem is that economic growth is extremely important to developing economies as well. It’s one thing to say we should limit growth, or deprioritize it, or whatever, but in practice this means forcing poor countries to accept lower sta
