I'm also suspicious, since they say that your blockchain address is used for authentication - couldn't colluding websites track your public key and use it to track you between websites?

Adtech, I'd say, is less slimy than traditional advertising. With traditional ads, you pay for the product (newspaper, TV, etc.), and then you _also_ see ads on top of that, and significantly more than you'd see nowadays at that.

At least JavaScript's immune to fork bombs because it has no threading model. Doesn't stop some bored college kid with access to NPM and a vicious streak from mining bitcoin on your computer.

The North Korea we know, with its God-king dynasty and intense insularism, is thoroughly the creation of Kim Jong-Il. He manipulated himself into power, usurping his father. Truly, one of the greatest modern talents in bastardry. Kim Jong-U

Jesus, this reeks of a big company throwing programmers at a problem until it goes away. Myriad memory corruption issues all solved with input validation. Surely there has to be some kind of process improvements they could implement, at the

> There is a reason for that – as a rule, browsers don’t really want you to use history. They want you to search and find things multiple times because search royalties are part of their business model. I think that that's a little

Agreed. If you're looking for easy extensibility, a simple core and a flexible GUI, I can't imagine what could put VSCode above emacs, except for the button marked "sort by CPU usage"

I'm a young developer, but if my experience is anything to go by I think that this age bias is driven by a desire for cost-efficiency over quality. It's cheaper per unit of work (for some fuzzy definition of unit of work) to hire

I'd say you absolutely have to point out factual flaws in comedy. Comedy is truth, that's why you probably believe that David Cameron put his penis in a pig's mouth and Donald Trump was peed on by Russian prostitutes. There&#

I'm in embedded, but I have a fair measure of autonomy so I've got some Rust code on our device. If nothing else, the cross-compilation story for Rust is absolutely _beautiful_. Just stick the toolchain path in a config file somew

But you need constant vigilance to keep the deserialiser secure. In JSON, any change to the deserialiser requires checking for security holes and DoS attacks. With this, you also need to check every method in every class in the set of possi

But I'm a wooly liberal and I agree with that, if you keep the BI high enough to truly replace the need for it. I would rather everyone had a basic, flat rate that had basically 0 bureaucratic expense to dole out. Maybe you could have

Because you can write arbitrary classes in the output, which can then be called (since dispatch is dynamic, and the output object is assumably either untyped or typed as the equivalent of `Object`). If you know which classes are available y

A technique that is reportedly useful for dynamic situations is D*, since 90% of the world is static and most dynamic content is clustered, you could probably get away with using that in a radius and then devolve to the precomputed techniqu

What's the memory usage there? Is it on the order of what can be used for games? Often memory is even more constrained than CPU time

In which community? Some, yes, others, no. Contractors seem to have a strong bias towards PHP and .NET, but these technologies have more of a stigma in the start-up community. Some countries, like the Netherlands, have a huge quantity of .N

Can't speak for the other stuff, but if you're not using wacky instrument drivers (I only have a pretty basic midi keyboard so I don't know what other instruments are like) Ableton Live 9 works like an absolute dream under Wi

It's disgusting that this is necessary. I'm outside the US and I've been financially independent since I was 20. My parents couldn't afford to pay for me much longer, and we're a not-bad-off white suburban family, a

So why not have a virtual DOM-based data-driven layout engine that _isn't_ an HTML/JS stack. Something in a language that is more optimisable and works everywhere, like Lua with C extensions, or OCaml, or Java. JavaScript is hard

This is just getting silly now. Game companies should realise that marketing and porting give much better ROI than the same amount of money put into DRM. It's not worth your money to buy it, and it's not worth your time to develo
