When you talk about performance hit, are you under the impression that moving this to the server side would be faster? No. So what is the alternative? If you move everything to apps, apps become the vector. If you ask for explicit ok online

JS is already treated like code you can’t trust. Adjustments will be needed from time to time. A full block would not be for engineering reasons, but for ideological reasons.

Hiding it usually works. Unfortunately on Windows there's this annoying slide-out animation that slows you down. It happens even if you disable UI animation. On top of that sometimes the bar doesn't show up at all when specific wi

Theranos had real value proposition. They just lied about having the tech. In this case I don’t see the value proposition. Just bunch of marketing speak.

I think a crucial important first step in a discussion of the type "is X a Y or a Z" is that we have very clear definition of X, Y and Z. Unfortunately the article isn't very clear about any of this, so then the discussion be

I'm not aware of anyone doing this on purpose. It's bad for bookmarks, it's bad for SEO, bad for internal linking, and external linking. URLs change because systems change.

I know it feels like too much, you just feel like being outraged sometimes, don't you? But trust me, we gotta try it for a few centuries and see how it works out. You'll be surprised by our progress.

New rule, we ban the concepts of being "insulted" and "outraged" and we focus on constructive discussion from now on as a species. As for Apple, their localization is quite half-hearted for about half the world, so that&

Think about it like a message queue. You can't keep things stateless and serve old data forever, or you have a queue that grows forever. What you can do however is have an explicit "ack" for data being received and stored, be

Security risk no. But it's a maintenance mess to have bunch of runtimes sitting around for no great reason.

Your argument is that suicides are not common when you exclude the common causes. You need a reason to exclude the common causes, a reason that's not "I excluded these because they prove my statement incorrect". And the only

When you scale, your basic solution is "I take this job done by one person/machine, and I split it to multiple people/machines". Sometimes you can't do that. Either because you're "outsourcing" part o

The question implies that we have this choice whether it'll be. Or that we'll understand if it is. Or that we even understand what "conscious" means.

Actor frameworks remove some of the ceremony around async message passing, but the central issue of scalability is "canonical state" and how well commands and queries on that scale. It's a bit like tech support in tiers. You

I'm quite irritated by this train of thought "JavaDoc is useless because you can write a useless JavaDoc". Can't we get at least past elementary logical fallacies.

I know the cultural understanding among developers is that FOSS is "altruistic", but that's often wrong. It's all about incentives. If there's no incentive behind an OSS community working on this project, it'll
