NPM insecurity: lots of malicious packages discovered. Also, left-pad. Slowness: Yes, it is. Look at all the benchmarks comparing it to, say, go.

I keep wondering what the deal is with JS on the backend? Why does everyone love it so much? Let's not forget the 10-day design, dynamic typing (and weakly typed, compared with python), slowness, null vs. undefined, etc. JS is a scr

It does: reverse a human to the state assumed 30 years earlier. Fountain of youth? Of course, memory would be a problem.

It's more the idea that things can be reversed. How would they have such a "memory" of previous state? It presents such interesting questions. Imagine if we could coerce a human into the exact shape assumed 30 years earlie

Spotify was salty after Apple was mean to them; this is a good example of the fact that they aren't concerned about "fairness" as much about their own business. Users that have poured time into Spotify playlists aren't

Someone just posted this, about Spotify trying to lock in users: https://freeyourmusic.com/blog/spotify-trying-to-lockin-user... Spotify isn't really complaining about "unfairness". Business complaining

I've got to wonder if it's as big an issue if patients don't remember the pain. It seems to be like the tree-falling-in-the-woods problem: if a patient feels pain but never remembers, as far as he's concerned, did it re

Won in terms of user base, maybe. But in terms of money made and commercial adoption? Mysql beats Mariadb, though I can' t say for openoffice/libreoffice.

I read their stuff, though most of what I read comes out of the weekly emails. There is some actual good content, though like all other outlets, I'm sure there's some bad. Here's some of the stuff I see on their front page

Another excellent example is buzzfeed, though they've recently separated out their "news" section, supposedly.

Dollars are the international reserve currency, like it or not (and believe me, Russia and China don't and are trying to change it). But for now, that means dollars are the most convenient form for buyers and sellers, typically. Also,

Why would he be disqualified, and why is there pressure to choose a woman? That seems like a bad thing to do to a man who made such contributions to science. Edit: Anyone care to comment on why you killed this?

See my above reply; the 14th amendment applies the takings clause to California, and the supremacy clause further reinforces that The Constitution trumps california's constitution.

The Supreme Court didn't grant cert; that's different. That means they don't want to set precedent or believe sufficient precedent exists already. This was last adjudicated in 1999 with Saenz v. Roe, where California tried

Noveau sucks, unfortunately. Performance is bad, and you can't load custom firmware like you could with older cards (signing problems). I respect the effort the developers have made; any other driver would be of excellent quality had

Again, this is what I've heard; never used it myself (mostly because of the issues you mentioned; I'm unwilling to give up copy-paste and hidpi). With that said, X11 is quite arcane. I3 is still good, or at least for me. Not go

Property rights are constitutionally protected, and under the precedents surrounding the 14th amendments, this overrules California's rules. Eminent domain remains legal, but legally speaking, Khosla is in the right here.

Xorg usually ships with a different input driver, IIRC. Libinput is the default in Wayland and works seamlessly; Xorg actually needs a wrapper (xf86-input-libinput). Haven't personally used it, just what I've heard.

Twofold: for many, it just looks nice. But for me, having a little margin in between things helps me visually distinguish and makes it easier to look quickly at different windows. This is actually helped with a wallpaper, because it furth

No copy-paste is a non-starter for me as well, and probably the largest single reason why I still am on i3-gaps. I still like wallpaper mostly because it's nice to add some light transparency to console windows. I3-gaps, for me, was

The author still flat-out refuses to support them. This might change if Nvidia open-sources their drivers, which I suspect is part of what he's trying to do.

I'm not sure if that part is correct. If I use something like SHA1 or MD5 (yes, I know they're no longer considered secure), know with essentially 100% certainty that I will not get a collision. This means I don't have

Insurance in this case is silly. The premise of insurance is to protect against financial catastrophe, which is why it is carried for things like a possible half-million dollar medical bill, house burning down, etc. Another core tenet of i
