   I understand you're unhappy about modern constitution law. But, if you want to understand why your interpretation of the constitution differs from the legal community's interpretation of the constitution, here are two good starting points:

   The linked article addresses what, precisely, is bad about that list on a point by point basis. It's good reading! Most web browsers now have built-in password managers. Here's to hoping that loop is soon closed with password generation!

   No. But, I'm bias in the opposite way. The US doesn't have an official language. There is a free press with publications in almost every language. And, at least in the states I'm from (California and Washington), voting materials are transl

    Windows Phone definitely didn't come out of nowhere. A good friend of mine was one of the PM leads there. We used to have conversations on the bus every evening— him sweating decisions, fighting for inches, and showing off slow weekly progr

    Yes, I agree, "build an API" is the problem. I specifically said the problem and the complexity inherent in solving it doesn't disappear with per-application databases. But, the application (the 'A' part) is where the most context around th

    It's a shame this comment is pithy, because I think it's dead-on. There times to integrate at the database level. But, the default should be single-application databases. The rationale is the same as the grandparent's rationale FOR database

    While I don't think Lua would be the choice, it's the quantity of garbage that matters: "Historically, languages intended for beginners, such as BASIC and Logo, have often used garbage collection for heap-allocated variable-length data typ

    To answer my own question, VLQ coding is used in other debugging symbol formats for the same reason.

    wrt. Base64 VLQ: source maps are text and compressible via gzip. Anyone know if there are any links to discussion about the trade-off made making the more complex and less human accessible?

    I don't think "find" is what you want there either. The params passed in is auto-deserialized and thus can be a list or a hash with query options instead of your expected "id" value.

    If detained at the border, and all your storage is encrypted, many countries have laws that require you to reveal your passphrase. OK. But, what about key escrow? What if I gave the keys to my attorney? Can I be compelled to lie to my attor
