Look at it from another viewpoint: you want to achieve something that can't be done by one person. So instead of doing it yourself, you need to organize a group of people to make it happen. And you need to give up control and really al

AFAIK vgo only allows me to pin individual packages, but not whole trees. How would I pin a dependency tree in vgo?

I agree, there is always a trade-off, and it is good to make it as explicit as possible.

If the immune system has 'won', you can't get a second infection from exactly the same germ again. (The only exception I know of is HIV: this virus fools your immune system)

It's not a Web browser because you can't browse the Web with it. In my view, Electron does not embed a browser, it does embed a HTML/CSS/JS renderer.

No, you sacrifice platform specificity for better or broader functionality (given the same development capacity). Of course, with unlimited development capacity, for each React Native app there could be a better purely native app. Another p

I think this is not correct. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application , Web applications are applications running in a Web browser. The term was introduced to distinguish Web _apps_ from Web _pages_, n

Not sure if there is a common agreement about terminology, but my distinction is - web app: loads from a server and connects to a backend to perform its activities. Business logic is on the server. If at all, very limited offline capabiliti

Let's talk again in 1-2 years. My prediction is that your premise will be wrong by this time in the EU, i.e., there users will have control over their data. (not perfect control, but that is the same in every area where law is broken,

It's just a guess, but I think the main reason to run VSC in a browser is that they can later also let in run in a browser, without install. You will develop, store, and run your code on Azure, without any local installation. (I don&#x

If we don't trust anybody, it leaves us nowhere. We will not be able to judge any statement made by anyone, except when we were eye witness ourselves. That would be a very sad state. Logic is a valuable academic exercise, but also leav

It was clear enough to know at least 2 years ago that you can't just make personal data public on the Web. Here, as in all cases, the supposed vagueness is just a lame excuse to not even start an honest effort of protecting personal da

> It is possible that we're all made of fairy dust, but there's no way to prove or disprove that. That is very true, and modern science therefore decided rightfully that these questions should be outside of scientific enquiry.
