I'd think guardrails like this also serve at a psychological level - as in "this is a secure machine, don't try to break rules". While these second order effects are immeasurable, they are quite tangible in my personal e

For most networked applications, there are two classes of permissions control - inbound and outbound. The inbound is a run-time decision and dynamic at that - Firewalls, WAFs etc. are used for control. These are not (and probably should no

Permissions are a whitelist. While the grant is a blanket grant to a program and all dependencies, typically, a well behaved program will seek a limited scope of permissions. Like " https://my-program.com" , " http

Interesting breakdown of the legal complexities involved. Thanks. The corner-case devil got the better of me: Wonder how the lawyers (and the law) would treat it if they (Taiv) position custom content as channel and then just switch channel

Speaking from an end-user experience POV: When I first switched to a mac from windows more than a decade ago, the instant-on feature was one of the most delightful experiences. I have often wondered what the cost of not having that on Windo

This looks really good - the speed of rendering of the default sheet was surprising and pleasant. Is there a reason you switched from the earlier version in TypeScript[1] to this version in JavaScript? [1] https://github.com&#x2F

Incredibly, the segment below is valid TypeScript. @inline function rot(x: u32, y: u32, v: u32): void { var a = max<i32>((v >>> 24) - BIT_ROT, 0); set(x, y, (a << 24) | (v & 0x00ffffff)); }

A quick look at a sample .assembly file [0], make it look like a very different language from TypeScript. That said, the familiar tooling, editor support, are wins over other WASM options. [0] https://github.com/AssemblyScri

I think a more analogous sequence would be: * The store offered to keep a DVD in safe-custody while you moved addresses. * You accepted the deal and shipped them the DVD. * You arrive at the new address, and the store refuses to deliver the

Isn't Liam's project proof that you don't need any complicated JS tooling? A simple `node index.js` can go really far.

Congratulations! I showed your project to my 12 year old son who has just started to learn programming (in JS no less!) and his jaw dropped. In addition to being a programmer, you are now a role-model. Really well done.

This is adapted from a post I saw on HN years ago. Can't find a reference ATM, but the gist is: Use a simple goal oriented task - picking up a ball from one end of the room and depositing it at the other end, navigating some obstacles

While the distinction of construct vs contract is subtle, improved tooling will eventually elevate the "construct" to a contract. semver needs to be combined with a package manager and strong version locking semantics for it to be

I'm surprised that `javascript-state-machine`[1] hasn't come up yet as a suggestion. A simple implementation of the bank-account example [2] shows why the pattern is interesting when the implementation can be declarative. I haven&

Strikes me that a markdown syntax with small extensions would serve well as a format for this. This seems to invert the default mode from text to code. Is there a reason for this? Also, where are the notebook stored? Can I get an offline co
