Anyone else found themselves going down the rabbit hole when doing TypeScript types, and spending more time on the types than the actual code? They are insanely powerful but can be a little too addictive

It's an old article. From my point of view I'm interested in hearing the story of the developers tasked to work on this kind of thing. Do they know what they're building and do it anyway because their manager told them to? Or

Leaving aside technological security, one HUGE problem with online voting is that there is no way to ensure the vote was not coerced. Scenario: A particular community/religious institution/school, etc., lets their members know (no

As someone with experience of Altria's previous foray into e-cigarettes, this is not as farfetched as it sounds. However, also from experience, they are just as capable of killing it through stupidity. When they shut down said previous

If I, living in, say, the UK, criticize China's handling of Hong Kong, I am also a suspected criminal in their eyes. Do I have to care about that if I don't recognize their court's jurisdiction over me?
517.
by llimos 6y ago
They do. If they live in a country where the court has jurisdiction, they have obligations. (To show up, to cooperate, etc.) They may choose not to fulfil those obligations, in which case they can be punished (legitimately). If there&#x27

by llimos 6y ago
This is a good point and may well be the case, we'd have to look at the exact rules of jurisdiction. But even if it's true, that's not something that obligates the US to play ball. They don't have any obligations to th

Legally , it is like a private court. From the point of view of someone who is not a member, it's the same thing. Let's take a hypothetical scenario. The majority of UN member states are not democracies. If all of these non-democ

I'm going to give an unpopular view here because I think we need to look at actual facts and laws instead of emotions. Buried right at the bottom of the article: "the US is not a party to the international tribunal". Now, you

I absolutely love this! Pinning the tab immediately. Loving the positional audio when using headphones.

For developers, sure, we know the difference. But it's very hard to explain to your mother that MyFile.docx is a different file to Myfile.docx. When I was in university this was the argument given by the lecturer of the operating syste

For sites that are content-heavy I've started wondering if it makes sense to have the content server-side rendered the old-fashioned way, and use multiple React roots for the parts of the page that need to be interactive. You can still

From the developer's point of view, mobile apps give you more ways to retain the user's attention (a home screen icon, pop-up notifications, hooks for actions, etc.). As a rule, desktop apps are used for producing and mobile apps

I think this is the case in most countries besides the US. And (at least in Israel and the UK, and probably others, but not the US), you can identify a mobile number by the prefix, so you know what you're getting yourself into by placi

Science leads you to the conclusion that we are here as the result of a series of chance events. Not because of any "decision" to put us here. If we're all just here by fluke, and when we're gone we're gone entirel

When I took exams in England (admittedly a decade and a half ago) there were indeed different questions based on what you had learned, but you were instructed to only answer one of them (if you answered more it didn't count), and they

Who would stand to gain from that and what would they stand to gain? UK education policy over the last couple of decades has been squarely set on getting as many state school students to university as possible so it would be strange for the

Agree on the pricing. It looks like a very nice tool but since it's at core just a different way of organizing/bringing together information I can store in other places, at that price point I'd simply improvise with the other

Pretty much all of Office 365 is available through a single unified API. Whether they use that API for their internal integrations, I couldn't say. But I would guess any integration they're doing could also be done by a third-pa

The thing is, Teams integrates with the rest of Office 365 much more than IE did with Windows. It's very easy to argue that it's a core part of the product. In general, Microsoft has really nailed how if things work well togethe
