That's a bizarre argument; the post is about writing an abstraction over another interface, and it's clearly meant to be extended. The abstraction can be written in a safer language than C. Seems like there's an obvious upsid

npm has to deal with scale: it's now the largest programming language package manager, and most project dependency trees have exploded in size as a result. Optimizing that led to yarn and to npm@5.

What replaces the npm registry, though? That's the reason that npm Inc. exists, not just stewardship of the CLI.

What informed decision do we learn from a member of a political party getting to frame the narrative about their opponent's secrets though? This isn't journalism, it was a smear campaign.

Not to trot out the "what if this involved the DNC, the GOP would call for blood" meme, but it's certainly justified to feel outrage over a consultant for a party colluding with a foreign entity to influence an election. It&#

I don't disagree with the idea that Reddit is mismanaged, but isn't "born on third and thought they hit a triple" a hyperbolic way to describe the success of one of the top 10 websites in the U.S.? From introducing the c

You might, but I doubt many women just forget to get their IUD renewed. It's a surgery and can be treated as such.

It also doesn't say when they intend to restore support for Firefox builds. Also, they recommend installing IE. So I'm assuming Edge isn't supported either? This is a horrible approach to browser security coming from Google.

See Microsoft CodePush and React Native for a counterexample: you can certainly publish apps which download code as long as they don't dramatically alter the functionality of the app.

We know exactly one thing: Uber (and none of the companies you list) disagree with the ban enough to threaten to drop out of the advisory board.

I thought they were going to enter recess to allow them to invoke a law that allows repealing decisions made by the executive within the last 60 days of sessions of Congress. Maybe I misunderstood an article on this?

Thank you so much for putting this together. Any place where I can keep up with summaries like this? It's nice to read something optimistic on clean energy sources.

And really, dnc-hacks.org. These aren't leaks from inside the organization and its whistleblowers. Wikileaks has been posting political voyeurism at the behest of a hacking organization. It's about as reputable as The Fappening ce

I believe NPAPI is being deprecated; that wiki page is very out of date.

This is an amazing milestone! I have to ask, why did we need a separate boot disk sent over instead of flashing the previous disk with the contents of a boot disk? I suppose swapping out parts is an expected part of restoration though.

This is an amazing port, it doesn't even use canvas. It was made too early for that.

Is this then the GitHub v4 API? Should we expect the REST API to be deprecated in the future?

I am so confused as to why this is a separate product from https://www.vote.org/ . Voteplz.org even instills less confidence—sounds like a single-serving website, glad they're communicating these ideas, but its conflict

One case in which Brave does not want to replace website ads is for sites that run their own ad networks, or ones which have a contract with an ad network expressing that they will not resell user data. A large part of their motivation hing

You could refuse to serve to web browsers with a Brave user-agent. Or I could fetch your website using wget and strip out ads. If you can't control a user agent in other situations, why do you want to control it here?

HacBook isn't a new computer, but a service that takes the HP EliteBook line and loads Hackintosh onto them before resale. Claiming equivalent specs as a MacBook Pro is obviously compelling, but that's more of an issue for Apple u

Since Google Cast has been open-sourced (upstreamed to Chromium), does this make it the de-facto alternative to Miracast? My Roku supports screen mirroring, but the fact that apps and companies are more keen on supporting ChromeCast has bee
