This is what happens when you abdicate leadership in your own platform. The only reason it seems like people want to replicate their mac is because they’re actually excited about the potential of the iPad and would like to move to the iPa

It's funny because I was just thinking "wow, this is such a great way to do an introduction to the continuum hypothesis". You get the same "introduction" that Cantor did: you walk through his early successes and lea

“Subtle control of the web platform” is strictly better than the explicit control of the web platform and the web browser space the currently enjoy. Microsoft’s IE and Edge together currently have just 10% market share, compared to Chrome
424.
by tolmasky 8y ago
The biggest danger to the web in terms of control right now is browser monopoly , not engine monopoly . And this move is probably the most effective way at combatting that. I think this is the right move at this time not just for Microsof

I'm honestly confused at the negative attention this is getting, I can't see this as being anything other than all positive. This is nothing like when IE won in the late 90s, there is very little extra "control" this wil

So there for some reason seems to be a melding of the ideas of raising quality of life and eliminating inequality, which don't necessarily have to be the same thing. I do not think it is unreasonable that 100 years from today the lower

At least when I visited (which was about 6 months ago I believe?), it was a fairly basic set of extensions on top of Lua. As in, they've added a couple keywords that I believe they just RegExp for (its pretty simple to confuse the lang

I find it very strange that Apple is held as a champion of privacy while simultaneously creating a culture of incredibly poor passwords. Perhaps the problem is that there are “two” privacies - the everyday protections against, say, Facebook

I am 100% certain these apps will not be fantastic in 1 year. Or 2, or 3. Let’s look at another cross-platform app that Apple has had years to perfect, iTunes: terrible since they’ve had to make it work on Mac and Windows. Apple Music bei

After so many years of Apple fans telling everyone that any cross platform technology demonstrated absolute laziness on the part of developers that resulted in unacceptable un-native feel, how fitting it is that now Apple, the largest compa

Sincere question: doesn't the use of template strings increase the possibility of injection where none would theoretically be possible in the non-string version of the API? Not super familiar with the intended purpose of sqorn, hence

In theory you absolutely need both, and the library fixes the most pressing issue: that your site might be broken today , and more importantly will remain broken forever, unless the user chooses to upgrade, since Safari does not do autom

Tomatoes are vegetables. And yes, I see there is a comment lower down that tries to point out that tomatoes are fruits. But guess what, they're not mutually exclusive. That is because fruits are a scientific term, and vegetable is a

Well, for starters, as you can see from the graphic, you'd be getting a lot more than just "pterosaurs" if you did that, given that they are in fact quite distantly related, with several other layers of non-dinosaurs inbetwee

I have always been wary of assigning fault to things that have no agency (such as "technology" or "social media"). Don't get me wrong, clearly it is possible for inanimate objects to be causal when it comes to negat

Over the years, the few times I’d go on Facebook is when someone would respond to one of my cross-posted tweets. I set the feature up years ago, and naturally stopped interacting with Facebook, except again when someone would respond to my

I’m glad these concerns are becoming more widespread, since they are somewhat subtle and when we originally shipped RunKit many people didn’t know why we didn’t “just write a js backend for Jupyter”. The reality is that solving these proble

Well, the point of the comment was the demonstrate that a 30% revenue cut is rather onerous through the thought experiment of what would happen if an additional one was placed. That being said, existing services absolutely went through th

I would absolutely care if a new price materialized out of thin air that then got passed off to me. 30% is a lot. I posit that if a new 30% penalty was instilled tomorrow in just about every piece of software you interacted with, you would

Ultimately it’s of course their choice, but I truly believe that a “fee-less” App Store would be better for the party that so seldom gets mentioned: me, the consumer. I’m the one that’s ultimately paying the 30%, not the apps. I already pai

So, two things: 1. This proposal is for all new offices, which as usual, creates an amazing unfair advantage to established companies. The old companies will have an old office that can offer the perk of free lunch, whereas new companies

I would love to have something that would translate a more human readable version that looks like a constraint or range that internally translates to the same functionality of the peano solution. If that's what you're saying Rust
445.
by tolmasky 8y ago
In a language with a sufficiently advanced type system you can use Peano numbers to specify a type specifying an integer between 0 and 10. These type systems usually are smart enough to have optimized internal representation of said types.

It curls the install script, which is passed to ruby as a string which is run.

The reason is that many people don't know how to write a proper isArray. Forgetting about security momentarily (and I promise we'll come back to it), rewriting code repeatedly is a path towards bugs and mistakes. Array.isArray did

When we heard about this this morning at RunKit we immediately started writing a script to identify if any other packages had been possibly affected. We're in a pretty unique position since we install every version of every package in

Not a solution for everything, but one of the key reasons we made RunKit is precisely to allow you to try random packages without giving them access to your computer (its basically an easy way of the "run everything in a Docker contain
