I'm not a golang user, but I am curious, how hardened is the crypto/tls library? One of the reasons I use openssl is because I don't want a DIY crypto layer, I want something a lot of people have banged on. I'd hate to m

Ah, that certainly makes sense. The article was a hoot, BTW - speaking as both a philosophy geek and food geek.

A diversion into the pedantic, but hear me out: I'm legitimately interested in terminology here. This actually seems more like ontology work than epistemology work. In one of my academic fields (I do software, education, and the learni

Bitbucket seems to be at least in large part a subsidized loss-leader to the rest of the Atlassian infrastructure. And, legit question: how do you feel about Jira?

Huh, I just now used this in a project of mine. It's pretty cool, and easy to use. I need to be able to do client-side compression on images (users are uploading avatars and small pictures for in-thread sharing, which don't need t

Yes, I'm definitely looking forward to the Real Shadow DOM being browser-supported. I was unable to use the full webcomponents polyfill in my own application, as it introduced gamebreakers with contenteditable-based rich text editors [

by pfooti 10y ago
If you are using the shady dom (web components lite, rather than the low perf full polyfill), the library requires you to do dom manipulation through the polymer local DOM API. [0] That means without shimming other libraries, polymer is inc

Not the parsing part, but the processing part. Assume I've got a big pile of data and am calculating stuff like correlations on it. If I break the process up into chunks, I can go chunk.then(nextChunk).then(afterThat) etc etc. JSON.par

Yes, the thing I in particular worry about is the event dispatch system. The last thing we need there is multithreaded event dispatch, where multiple handlers fire at the same time, possibly resulting in race conditions on state managing ob

That's pretty rad - the vast majority of what I would see myself wanting to do in a multithreaded javascript world would be limited to something with transferrable arraybuffers. Like: "hey, worker, go do some work and lmk when you

Well, I'm old enough to remember coding for Mac OS 8, where "multitasking" was indeed cooperative - I had to say "oh, you can interrupt me here, if you want" at different places in my code, which meant bad actors co

Start with this: https://github.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/issues/212 Which is why I stopped messing around with polymer. Basically adding the webcomponents polyfill to your DOM tree (because it touche

I use import / export in my regular javascript. I just use babel and browserify for it. I am sure that there are typescript language features that aren't "just optional types", but I don't think import / export

You know, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. On the one hand: yeah, I get that having really multithreaded stuff is pretty handy, especially for certain computationally-bound tasks. On the other hand, I quite like the single-

Sooooo, what you're saying is that a significant number of families are currently together for economic rather than emotional / social reasons? I (a) find that somewhat difficult to believe and (b) find that somewhat troubling if

So, I've been working with rich text editors in particular recently, and I can tell you one thing: contenteditable is a gigantic pain in the rear. It's uneven across platforms what it transforms user intent into (control-B: do you

Looks like there will be a reasonable bridge to get your angular2 code running like a react native app. I wonder how this compares to nativescript. This, I think, is going to be the reason I finally go and port my big legacy codebase (hard

Yeah, I use atom on an mbp 2013 as well as a Linux desktop, and it runs fine. I dont have perf issues, even when opening a large 10k+ line javascript file (a built lib package, when I'm debugging occasionally). Of course, most of my so

I got a paperwhite for the touchscreen and backlight - both made the device a lot better for reading in bed, and that was a long time ago: a 1st gen paperwhite replaced a 2nd gen kindle, and the turn-page button on the 2nd gen was loud enou

I don't think you could call the general lack of diversity in tech a "raciosexual conspiracy". Rather, it seems a lot more like the result of classic pressures - institutionalized racism and sexism, combined with the general

Yes, I agree that Raven's matrices are pretty good at measuring something in a way that's not super-reliant on language. I'm not inherently opposed to the notion of generalized intelligence as a construct either, I just think

You're making two different arguments here and kind of tying them together. First: you're claiming that there actually is some kind of universal "spatial reasoning" skill. Usually people who claim that also believe that

So the thing is, "smart" is a pretty sloppy term. Furthermore, claiming that measuring this "smartness" in a small-sample, unrelated set of tasks (a relaxed, 30 question test), and that this "smartness" on the

Speaking as someone with a cognitive science background (and yes, probably too lazy to dig up specific references), I'll say that there exist a lot of poorly designed or poorly implemented tests of "intelligence". Even the

Whenever I need to send dates across the wire with a JSON API, I sort of miss XML a little bit. It's a lot easier, and there are existing patterns and tools to help there. JSON really only supports three data types - boolean, numeric,

One of the weird problems here is performance, though. A naive approach to left-pad, might involve (new Array(n+1)).join(padChar), for example, since javascript doesn't actually have a consistent language-native way to create an arbitr

Yah, the problem is (IMO at least) inherent in trademark law. If Azer actually created an OSS package (or publicized kik broadly), the lawyers would be pretty much compelled to start banging on his door. If they failed to do so, Kik the c

This seems like a reasonable approach. It does bracket some of the larger issues that the left-pad debacle foregrounded (dispute resolution and the potential of malicious devs to release dangerous code), but it is a good step forward. Restr
