Historically, yes. But in a world of mobile OS with permissions everywhere, it would make sense to deny full read access by default. I may be wrong but I thought that even websites cannot access clipboard content except in write mode. Even,

Reasons I use dark mode after decades of using light mode: 1. eye floaters: I keep noticing them with light backgrounds 2. poor office environment: with too much sunlight entering the windows, I have to boost screen brightness, which nukes

That's my impression too (see my other comment). Each package published to Deno could come with a set of declared permissions (similarly to Android apps). When importing the package in a module, Deno should detect that permissions scop

Well I'm not sure. The doc says: Access to security sensitive areas or functions requires the use of permissions to be granted to a deno process on the command line. [1] The only other mention of permissions in documentation is that

I assume that permissions are given at application level, not at module/import level? This means that if I write an application that requires filesystem access and has external dependencies, I'm essentially giving them access to t

Meh, yet another religion-like movement. Like TDD people that think you are not a true programmer if you ever write a small piece of code without writing a test first. How about a movement to help decide whether using a framework is or not

I like and often use the mountain metaphor myself. Sometimes the path to the top includes some abrupt parts, akin to climbing a vertical wall. These are big efforts that requires long periods of concentration. These are often followed by ea

Not a doctor but if X is dying, wouldn't it be too late for antibodies to do their work? e.g. if dying from the immune response or a co-infection.

Maybe I didn't read the site thoroughly enough but... how do we know that they are doing their part of the bargain? How do we/they measure how much carbon is effectively removed from the atmosphere?

Many years ago, I regularly had to parse specifications of protocols from various electronic exchanges. The general approach I used was to do a first pass using a Linux tool to convert it to text: pdftotext. Something like: pdftotext

My favorite is support people that send you a nicely truncated stack trace with all the useful information missing. E.g only "java.lang.NullPointerException", only the top of the stack, missing "cause" etc. :D

Another option is to generate a text file in the format expected by flamegraph. Especially useful when the data is hierarchical. https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph Exemple for Java: https://github.co

I feel like going on IF without some kind of carbohydrate restriction (ideally, ketogenic diet) is a bit like alternating between stepping on the brakes and on the accelerator, i.e. not as healthy or effective. Beer can be high in sugar, es

I, for one, am very interested in flamescope [1]. Not tried it yet but it's like a time machine that allows to zoom on a given time interval and look at a flamegraph of what happened at that moment. You can look at the introductory vid

Similar problem with my 2014 MBP: I lose wifi if I plug it into my UHD monitor with a DisplayPort cable, but not if I use HDMI. Probably has to do with cable quality (bought it on Amazon).

I've tried it (ubuntu 19.10 / Xorg / Dell Latitude 5491 + 4K Samsung monitor) and it is useless: - the scaling applies to BOTH monitors - even the 125% mode looks ridiculously big (like 200%) I was not able to enable

Wow. What a great explanation. I'd love it to be translated in other languages so I can have my younger kids spend some useful screen time on it!

Well, there is an unofficial 'snap' package for Linux that enables all features including screen sharing. I don't remember the name but it must be easy to find. Edit: probably https://snapcraft.io/teams-for-

I like GL.iNet routers: small, inexpensive and come with OpenWRT. I was very happy with my AR300M until it started getting unstable after a few months: need to hard reboot it every couple of days. Not sure if I'm unlucky or if it'

That's also what I do. When releasing a new version, I run a script/gradle task/... that: - compiles all commit messages since previous version - filters unwanted messages (according to special tags) - groups them by category

Technical debt is code that makes everybody waste time (eg. because of its complexity), or that creates problems in production (eg. performance issues) BUT that you cannot easily replace because it is too tightly knit to the rest of the arc
