Internet comment forums are sure a weird social dynamic. It feels like your talking with a group of friends, but also, we're all strangers meeting for the first time. So cracking a sarcastic joke, a thing that really only works if you

This comment is getting at a frustration I have with this article. I've come to learn about area's where I'm unintentionally falling into the patterns of thinking of those around me without due consideration. But the article

I don't believe that would work, because links to the original tweet will still be broken, allowing people to say "X deleted their tweet" without saying that they reposted and said they were wrong. Motivated actors loooooove

Currently I am liking the look of this proposal a lot! I've been trying to imagine some scenarios where it could be used or abused in a negative way but so far I haven't come up with any. Could you go into details on how you'

Is there a way in which you can connect to an evil machine and protect yourself from the possibility of it sending you evil bytes? What protocol is able to detect bytes as being evil without knowing at the outset what the file should look l

Thanks for keeping us up to date. The timing on that incident was a weird coincidence for our team. We had just rolled out a bunch of production updates, and then 5 minutes later ALL our VM's went down and I freaked out and tried to

I mean, no one's concerned amazon is going to merge with someone, my god I hope the FTC would block that. But I think the grand parent comment and I are talking about breaking up gigantic pre-existing monopolies. Not any general activi

It's funny you should mention that, because most PID configurations are not very stable. Once you introduce the Integral and the Derivative, if you're not careful that PID will oscillate into the stratosphere. In fact, I'd sa

There is always an onus on an API designer creating an API to express it well. However I think the difference between good vs bad language (and a good vs bad API come to think of it) is that it makes doing the right thing easy (lazy), and
