Well, it was mostly a joke. But at least the possibility of Kaspersky removing their apps from Russian app stores is quite low.

No, currently there is no public plan to do that.

Eh, I'm pretty sure Backbone and Knockout are more stable than React :) They didn't have a release since 2019. I mean, React itself is quite fine with backwards incompatibility. But how many completely backwards incompatible versi

Well, think about it like this. React had several major versions in recent years, and did remove several APIs. Also the whole thing with the new hotness of the hooks API (which, honestly, I just truly don't get). Angular had the whole

Why shouldn’t they use stable technology they are proficient with?

You’d think a simple report of all sales of a book within a period would solve all the issues. A simple table of: Timestamp, book, price Then author could simply calculate and verify royalties.

Huh? Firefox on macOS autoupdates quite fine. You do not need to download it manually.

How would Trio help with this use-case?

Doesn't chrome have browsing history sync?

The point is to prevent user from leaving google.com.

Google thought Google+ was a very good idea. Didn’t mean that it was a good idea. Removing features from web platform is, at least for me, a very bad move. If only because that it will spawn millions of half-baked replacement libraries with

What? Why should we tolerate bad behavior? Only because it’s less bad than Microsoft’s? That is not a very high bar, you know.

Yes, please, make my browsing more secure by removing first party alerts. So much security will be achieved /s

Google is planning to remove alerts entirely: https://twitter.com/Rich_Harris/status/1422930436850860033

Here’s the thing. It is not our problem that google doesn't want to make alerts less confusing. They are planning to drop support for alert, confirm and prompt. Not in iframes, but everywhere. How are they a security problem?

by vasachi 5y ago
This is what you get, when google has monopoly on the web platform. They will drop support for standards, because they want to and they can. And we won’t have any say in their decisions. I mean, the gall they have to shove their burden onto

Apple will fix those for free, you know?

So here I was wondering, why there is not a single article about this in Russian info-sphere. Apparently these restrictions were in action for quite some time [0]. But here we are, making news out of this :) [0] https://gpk.gov.b

Well, if it is something like phishing US citizens, then yeah, Russian police have zero motivation to do anything about it. Child porn though? Or something else that is an easy statistics boost? Russian police would be __very__ glad to act

Huh? No, you'd just have to pay an import fee of about $10.

Foreseeable, eh? Are there any other foreseeable pandemics we need to know about and prepare for?

by vasachi 6y ago
I don’t see the logic here. “Our thing doesn’t work, pay us more, so that it still doesn’t work, but we are kinda responsible for that then”?

I think it is from somewhere in standard library.

I believe the idiom to check, if a parameter wasn’t set is to use an object() instance as default value. _notset = object() def foo(x=_notset): if x is _notset: print("foo was called as foo()")
