It is frankly nothing short of amazing that Apple ships things like homomorphic encryption, and differential privacy, and client-side vectorization, and encrypted vectors, at the scale that they inhabit... and they still get a bad report ca

If you one-way encrypt a value, and that value leaves the phone, with no way to recover the original value, then the original data never left the phone.

"Your data" is not actually being sent off your device, actually, it is being scrambled into completely unusable form for anyone except you. This is a much greater level of security than what you would expect from a bank, for exam

Lobbying exists in many countries and in many forms does not constitute bribery. Lobbying is already regulated in countless ways. Without lobbying, elected officials would have a much harder time understanding the real impacts of policy. Wh

Completely misleading that "Wordpress runs 40%" of the internet when 6/10 packets are also somehow bound for first-party Google properties like YouTube (I guess that means all traffic is bound for either Wordpress or Google?

Deno is probably not "fully" NPM compatible, arguably, because you still need to prefix imports with "npm:" in a lot of cases. I've filed PRs to that effect, is why I know -- a breaking change for many widely-deploy

Only recently... and yes, to Deno's great credit. Deno has an amazing team and this isn't commentary about their hard work; just disagreement with one of the early decisions.

It’s not “obscure” or “exotic;” at least, no more than Node was when it was released. Honestly this is such a lame take to those of us who are working in JS outside of Node and Deno. And people do work at that intersection. IMO Deno is the
