This comment has a remarkable lack of nuance in it. That isn't even remotely close to how how human motivation works. We do all kinds of things motivated by emotions that have nothing to do with "liking" it.

I don't know, Most stories like this sound more like "clever" than "stupid" to me. You have a set of constraints and some tools. You use those tools to workaround/within those constraints to solve a problem. Cl

Servo is not Firefox. It was always a testbed research platform. Stopping development of Servo does not mean stopping development of Firefox.

I would say that Android is a viable substitute for Apple and vice versa when it comes to phones though. So I think there actually is a viable substitute. Customers can absolutely choose the one they want. But again if you redefine the ma

What I'm saying is that if you are sufficiently smart then you could concievably write perfectly safe C++. But since almost no one in practice has ever been able to be sufficiently smart consistently enough to ship C or C++ code that d

To really be real if air-gapping is a significant mitigation for your risk profile then you are likely the target of one of those rare APT's. You should probably also be using a memory safe language if you think you need air gapping.

If you have no users then go for it. However if you do then you are doing those users a disservice by exposing them to unnecessary risk. Maybe the risk is mitigated in other ways. Your software runs as a cli and not a service. It doesn&#x27

I for one would prefer that government projects set this kind of requirement. I don't want my government software implemented in C++. If they are the customer they should require that the projects do everything they can to eliminate

If you define a market small enough literally everyone is a monopoly and preventing competition. Apple has competition from other Android manufacturers. This is like complaining that Walmart has a monopoly on who can put shelves up in their

This is I think a much more effective line of communication. I would also suggest that investing in creating communities where parents are much more involved in their children's activities is also a really effective mitigation. Much of

As I said I'm sympathetic. My question was more about effective strategy in countering the push against encryption than it was challenging the utility and value of private communication.

I'm sure that's part of it. But a clear eyed reading of their own religious beliefs and proclamations shows that they are also quite intent on converting the entire world over to their religion or else slaughtering. I'm n

I am sympathetic to your position. However this sort of low value statement is I think part of the problem. You ask a question that you imply you know the answer to and then you don't give the answers. What other measures do you actual

I would suggest that none of the current solutions actually take into account the complex environment and circumstances around the problem. We don't exactly create cultures of resiliency right now and most of the approaches on both the

It's conceptually that simple. But like many simple concepts implementation requires understanding and dealing with the rather more complex environment and circumstances around the problem in the first place.

You can't judge evil without a backing value system to do so. Not assuming a value system presumes there is no such thing as evil. Which sure, if that's what you want to advocate for then go for it. But for those of us who do ha

You don't have to use innerHtml. The ShadowRoot pretty much acts like a document. So you can also use appendChild. Combined with a template element you can completely avoid innheHtml. You could even use jsx to create the template eleme

Guix has a more palatable language than nix to me. However I have pretty much no interest in interacting with gnu projects. I don't share the ideology strong enough to put up with it. So it stays in the "cool tech, won't use&

You can't disregard merge commits. It's part of the structure.

by zaphar 3y ago
There absolutely can be. Merge commits have multiple parent commits for example. It's definitely a graph not just a tree.

I Don't think hoarding is necessarily the right word. They were using them to research potential new products or tools. The theory being that if only a few of the projects prove high value then it's worth it. That's not hoard

Okay, you named some downsides of the unitary root. Now name the downsides of non-unitary roots. Otherwise your proposal lacks the context to decide if it's a worthwhile tradeoff or not.

Whooosh.... The analogy wasn't about nutrition. It was about taste. If your first thought was nutrition then you definitely missed the point.

I worked on 3 different fantastic teams at Google for my 7 year tenure there. It's a big company so you are going to find outliers on both ends of the spectrum but at least on the teams I worked with we were all productive, competent,

Everything is in theory possible to do 100% right. The difficulty of doing so is why people choose better solutions, like prepared statements.

Sql sanitization isn't foolproof either. That is why prepared statements are the best practice.

I've lived all over the country. I was homeschooled as well and have a number of friends who were. Anecdotal evidence is going to vary certainly and effect is highly dependent on the parent. But I've been around homeschooling grou

I think possibly the worst place to learn and practice social skills is from other kids who are just as in the dark as you are. In my experience a home schooled child is significantly more likely to be good at social skills than a public sc
