The aviation industry doesn't usually reduce incidents down to a single proximate or ultimate cause like that, but instead notes every decision/event that contributed to the incident occurring. And then they usually spend time on

There's actually a legal reason for tacking on anyone who is plausibly liable. The basic idea is to sue everyone in a single case and let the court sort out actual liability for each party as part of that single case. Say the lawsuit i

The range is of values, not their representation in bits, which can be mapped in any order. You could specify that the bit representation for 0 was 0x1234 and the bit representation for 1 was 0x1134 and proceeded accordingly and the range o

One important note, though, is that the backup and multidevice requires their cloud servers* so the threat model is a little different. They've got a blog on how they do the cloud backup**, but since you need a password it either needs

Sounds like they're finding out why most companies won't fuck around with outbidding competitors for talented employees just so that they can't work for a competitor.

Sometimes they're not entirely wrong though. The E46 design is now decently well-regarded by many car enthusiasts. Granted, I'm probably not the best person to ask about BMW aesthetics since I think the best looking one they'

I wouldn't consider that a similar change, because it's fully compliant with a newer js spec, which deprecated that feature. It sounds like, what deno has done is removed native support for older js specs and instead makes you tra

Part of the draw of deno is that for better or worse it's javascript. If you start changing things about the language used in the deno runtime such that it's no longer compliant ecmascript, then you no longer get the benefits of i

Not the OP, but the approach sounds roughly similar to SE linux, but for node. A major problem with a half-secure security solution is that it's not actually secure. You might do everything right, and still get owned. For the threat mo

Sure, so anytime you read JSON from a file or receive it from a network call, somewhere in the stack you're running JSON.parse() on it to turn the JSON string into the javascript object/primitive (or when you pull in data from a d

I didn't see it mentioned, so how do you handle generating type-guards/run-time type validation functions?

by joshAg 5y ago
totally agree. if you need a one off type for a function argument, i definitely think it's much cleaner to make it a type or interface and declare it right before the function like you do in the final example rather than defining in-li

Only to a degree because policies basically always have an upper limit on coverage. If the payouts are dropping because there's a massive reduction in claims, then there's a pretty decent chance that paying the policy maximum on e

for admitted policies, usually yes. But it's not just that the rate for the next year goes down. Premium payments have to be refunded too.
