Simple async JavaScript is still single threaded with an event loop. In other words, your async code is just a task deferred for later and only one task runs at a time, only moving…

What is it about it that makes you feel this way?

It was 5 billion calls to 500 million numbers over a 3 month period.

I report nearly all auto-generated unsolicited emails as spam. I also report nearly all follow ups to ignored cold emails. I will protect my inbox.

Accessing a users data is not the only reason for hacking their account. Performing actions on behalf of a user is just as much of a threat. Edit: also, if an attacker dumps all th…

This isn’t the attack vector to be concerned about. More concerning is when there’s a data breach and an attacker gains access to hashed passwords. At that point, you attack the ha…

You are correct that the period doesn’t count. Both email addresses belong to the same account. A possible explanation is that they have entered your email as a mistake.

Not sure if this was their motivation, but hardware acceleration also enables increased opportunity for fingerprinting, to my knowledge.

When does the standard library lie in this case?

The lie is when your code uses* the “any” value where a concrete type is expected. I was misunderstanding your point with the deserialize. Edit: “using” -> “uses”

Yes, “any” is a wart. And it’s a bad one. The correct type for values you don’t know the type of (like the response of an API call) is “unknown”. TypeScript does not provide the fa…

I don’t think I’m following well enough to provide a meaningful response. This is not meant as an argument against what you’re saying, because I know you were just giving an exampl…

They’re suggesting outputting runtime type information by emitting different code based on the type of the value passed to their hypothetical “Type.keys()” function.

You're forced to emulate exactness by always destructuring objects - not great. It’s almost like using objects as enumerable maps is an anti-pattern.

Runtime type information is against the goals of TypeScript. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Desi... Edit: Non-goals: … 5. Add or rely on run-time type info…

Also you should fill your database with houses - use AI or some sort of random data generator to generate them and just make sure there's a small but clear note on the listing sayi…

“Inception” is frequently misunderstood to mean entering other people’s dreams or having multiple layers of dreams. In the movie, they of course have the technology to do these thi…

If I know that an entity goes to great lengths to conceal secrets, why would I ever believe I know of their most secret secret?

Interestingly, “highlights” is not there.

“More quinoa”

A commuter typically takes a free public bus ride to work. The bus broke down this morning. The commuter had to go out of their way to take a different bus to get to work. Wouldn’t…

It’s exhausting because: _____ If you find yourself struggling to articulate it, seriously and honestly consider whether you’re simply choosing to be stressed about it. I’m speakin…

Do you have any HN-related extensions installed? Edit: I truly did not believe you, but it appears to maybe be the “delay” feature [0]. Users with a delay set might show the asteri…

I’m sure they could, I imagine they’re appealing to those who prefer JSX’s syntax.

This is definitely solely an HN Replies thing.
