I didn't mean to be vague, I meant to be general. I don't know which other agencies have this kind of unchecked power.

If AWS gets a letter from an American 3-letter agency to plz turn over this and that data and don't tell anyone, they're going to comply, no matter what kind of paper "privacy shield" agreement the politicians negotiated

JSX in SolidJS directly returns DOM elements much like in the top part of this post, yet it does not have these disadvantages. It's true that strictly put it's not immediate mode like React and Lit are, but the framework is design

I think going to war might be one of those things where if you plan for it, you substantially increase the chance that you'll do it.

You called China an enemy in response to Schmidt being called a war mongerer. I read that as a defense of Schmidt stance and implicit support for war with China. If I got that wrong then I agree my comment is out of context.

There's exactly one country (Japan) where establishing a liberal democracy at gunpoint worked out. The US then tried to do the same in like a quarter of the world and kept failing. At some point some people up there ought to get the me

It’s even better when you know that the proper pronunciation is essentially “soondhldlddlnl” (Source: I speak Danish as a second language. I used to think Georgian was the language with the most consecutive consonants but then I learned how

As an old OO guy, I like to think of a closure as syntax sugar for a class that’s being generated which has fields for all the variables in a scope that are used in callbacks. In those terms, this is quite a bit less surprising. (That said,

I love that “CrowdStrike” is now a synonym for “global outage”. Not some cute hihi name like “heartbleed”, just the name of the company that did the screwup. Seems fair.

I’m a geek. My kids are geeks. To not provide them access to a computer because there’s bad addictive things on computers is like not teaching kids to read because there’s harmful books. In reality, things are never so black and white. When

“should be allowed”, in practice, means “should be forced”, since it means saying no to the huge collection of devices (TVs, computers, tablets, nintendos etc) that prevent boredom.

Wow this really blows my mind. I used trackers nearly every day when Drukqs was released and somehow I felt that Aphex Twin just had to have access to stuff I didn’t. Obviously that was kinda true, cause he had synths and teenage me couldn&

This is nonsense. A complete custom emoji font is something like 10MB. Shipping that to every website visitor is obscenely wasteful. This is why sites either just use native emojis, which all OSes support reasonably well by now, or download

Yeah so you determine the offset at display time. Store “Europe/Amsterdam”, not “UTC+1” so that if Amsterdam (or likelier, the Netherlands) decides to shift timezone or move the DST change dates or something insane like that, before th

That doesn’t affect the point of the article at all though. Timezones change, so if you’re storing a datetime of something that happens at a particular physical place, store it with that place’s timezone (not offset) (EDIT And even eg sched

I attack the idea that someone born and raised in, say, NL whose grandparents moved in from, say, Turkey, is considered a Turk, often both by themselves and other people. In my opinion, if someone is born and raised here, they’re Dutch, or

Great observation. I’m European and I agree. We Europeans love to look down upon America when it comes to stuff like functional government, bicycle paths and public services, but wrt immigration we’re so far behind the US, it’s not even fun
