To answer your first question, it looks like dragon-lang works on the JVM, whereas native uses LLVM. Seems to be some small differences in what modules need loading too. But yeah, without seeing any "real" code written in Dragon,

Like many others here, I haven't used Cucumber in a while, but back when I did, I went a couple to workshops that Matt ran, exploring BDD. Certainly laying someone off when they are on holiday feels like a dick move, I guess that'

My initial statement wasn't for or against - it was that the method of argument isn't going to work on many people here on Hacker News, not because we're a bunch of antivaxxer conspiracy theorists, but because we're pred

I'd recommend being a little more strict with your language if you want to convince anyone here. "It started"..."solidly established" - that's enough inaccuracy for most HN people to ignore the whole of your po

I think it's worth pointing out what the opposite means - to say that "this field might have a value, or it might be null - but only one tuple/row can set this field to be null" implies that you have given the null optio

It is, but arguably it's closer to the Google News model (in that more than just the titles are shared) which recently saw some pushback in the EU [1] In general, if the data owner says you must take it down, you rarely have a leg to s

Without getting too deep into the intricacies of morality, I'd disagree. (Who am I kidding? We're already deep :D ) Your premise is that acting on the desire of an unfair advantage is the greater immoral act, and the act of accept

I think most people would say that the side with the power is the one that is guilty. Consider, for example, flights to a corrupt country. To get through customs unscathed, every passenger is required to bribe the staff at the airport. Just

Well, certainly they haven't ruled it out. DNS servers are third-party servers. VPNs are third-party servers. They can be as kind or as nasty about this as they like, For all my fear mongering, I should point out that the only reason G

It certainly includes that, yes. In fact, mobile push notifications is one case that I hadn't even thought of. If you use a third party to perform push notifications, you are "accessing" data through a third party application
