You're still thinking of it exclusively in terms of frontend web development (consent popups) whereas the original regulation was largely concerned with reducing data collection by the business in general, at a backend/database

Callbacks in JS aren't really dated, just many of the patterns associated with them are. The Promise constructor itself takes two callbacks as its arguments. Async/await are just syntax sugar over that constructor. Express suppor

On one hand, this was required from the beginning (this is just a clarification of original intent, not a change or addition) However it's deeper since the popups we see today were never recommended nor required by the original regs. T

This is called sharding, but the question is more about the assignment algorithm(s) supported by the sharding algorithms, which are not always flexible enough to support the gp's suggestion.

You could trip on a curb outside your home, hit your head on the ground, and die. But you leave your home based on a rational assessment that that series of events is reasonably unlikely. Avoiding doing anything because it might kill you is

I was just addressing that their comment seemed to be reacting to "a single event", rather than to review of actual stats (which is, by contrast, a good & rational approach).

I know your comment is tongue-in-cheek but the overall US homicide rate is comparable to the UN casualty count for the Russo-Ukraine war (most of which will be in Donbas, not Kyiv). So I wouldn't be completely certain the rate in Kyiv

Release schedules &c. aside, they have no argument if they're complaining about the Safari team's "communication". The diligence from the Safari team in responding to those bug reports is not something I've seen

This exactly. Given the diligence of the Safari team - especially in the face of the extremely lazy first bug report - it's kinda wild that this person thought it appropriate to post such a negative angle. The second bug report wasn&#x

As much as that's always a possibility, there's so much competition in this space that Github is just entering into that I don't see it happening anytime soon. The angle for Microsoft here is they're probably going to

It's a step (and I guess for many, a coping strategy). Getting a BOM about people you don't know/trust lets you know who you don't know/trust: known unknowns. At the very least it present a quantifiable risk profi

The former is discoverable: it doesn't require developers having ANY knowledge of command switches (no matter how basic) nor following a set of out-of-band instructions; the "how to" is included within the workflow.
