You can't sandbox the code that is supposed to talk to your DB from your DB. And even on client side, the sandboxing helps isolate any malicious webpage, even ones that are accidentally malicious, from other webpages and from the rest

That's not the problem. There is a cultural (and partly technical) aversion in JavaScript to large libraries - this is where the issue comes from. So, instead of having something like org.apache.commons in Java or Boost in C++ or Posix

As an European (Romanian, more precisely) who has visited the USA, I would say that servers there were much more patient and attentive than servers I'm used to both from my own country, and from various European vacations. I still reme

We expect asymptotically better algorithms to be, well, asymptotically better. Even if they lose out for small N, they should win for larger N - and we typically expect this "larger N" to not be that large - just big enough so t

I think there are a lot of systems that have a separate node syncing feature, where two nodes can receive updates, apply them to their local replica right away, and only communicate them and reconcile with the other backend nodes at a later

You're not describing an eventually consistent system, you're describing a system that diverges. By definition, eventually consistent means that, after some time, all readers across the entire system are guaranteed to find the sam

I read the comments praising these voices as very life like, and went to the page primed to hear very convincing voices. That is not at all what I heard though. The voices are decent, but the intonation is off on almost every phrase, and th

Maybe in the USA. But bodies like the French Academy and many similar ones in other countries very much do issue opinions on correct grammatical (and vocabulary) usage. And members of these institutions are very much considered the top of t

There do exist prescriptivist linguists, who do exactly that: they try to divine "correct" from "incorrect" usage of language.

This still greatly affects connections/second, which is an important metric. Especially since servers don't always like very long lived connections, so you may get plenty of connections during an HTTP interaction.

As others pointed out, it's not so easy to switch, as the PQC versions require much more data to be sent to establish a connection, and consequently way more CPU time. So the CPS you can achieve with this type of cryptography will be M

The gist of this post is to make it clear that the GPLv2, both today and since its inception, requires not just the distribution of pure source code, but also of any information necessary for allowing end users to replace the manufacturer&#

You don't understand what pseudo-randomness means. Virtually all PRNGs, even many CSPRNGs, have a way to initialize the algorithm with a seed, and its outputs are fully predictable based on that seed. Choosing a truly random seed, such

My experience is that all of these layers have identical data models when a project begins, and it seems like you have a lot of boilerplate to repeat every time to describe "the same thing" in each layer. But then, as the project

MCP is a form of JSON-RPC over HTTP, so I don't think it has anything to do with that.

You also need an MCP schema to understand what the MCP server can actually do, there is no free lunch here.

MCP is a detail here. The exact same thing would happen if generate_node and search were exposed as REST endpoints, if Claude Desktop had used REST instead of MCP.

This is a ridiculously silly take. Homelessness greatly reduces your life span, it makes you many times more likely to be a victim of both crime and of police violence, and it makes many simple parts of regular society inaccessible to you.
