This app exists, it's called indrive

VSCode (and Atom) feels like an Emacs with Javascript instead of Lisp anyway

They make many useful websites unusable though. And when you whitelist you're then vulnerable, because there's no way to know some Javascript doesn't contain an exploit (do you run…

There are crypto schemes that can solve those problems. Some work with paper ballots as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThreeBallot

Your examples are garbage logic because array overruns are so harmful that they should be hard errors. Of course, this requires a runtime cost, that can be elided in most cases by …

How is Python non-Algol?

Sometimes it's not worth to optimize too farther from the current local optimum. UI designers have a "budget" for weirdness and unfamiliar conventions and must spend it wisely

Also, if you rely on a third party to do identification for you, you simply don't need a blockchain. Blockchain is heavily constrained by the vital requirement of not trusting any …

In some sense it's the contrary.. the typeclass hierarchy has a lot of idealism that won't fly in Haskell's comparatively pragmatic Prelude (DivisionRing? Really?) They even backtr…

This is achieved merely by following the rules. But what are the most appropriate rules? It depends on the taste of the logician

You are the site owner. The bouncer works for you. Your users didn't hire the bouncer and don't want to be tracked. Secretly, the bouncer may use this data for nefarious purposes. …

This is cruel. Someone that is donating should think about the welfare of the recipients. Otherwise it's just massaging one's own ego.

Typescript's type system is unsound by design. And it doesn't have the sophistication of Haskell. So it isn't that similar IMO

Well, it is if you are deaf.

I hope DO's CTO review your case too.

Rust has Redox (desktop focused) and TockOS (embedded). I happen to (wishfullly) think the next major OS will have capability-based permissions at the core level, a model a bit lik…

There is no open source license like that.

Of course I trust China more. China never militarily supported a coup in my country.

Hey it's not senseless. Rust doesn't have subtyping (except for lifetimes), and specially not subtyping between a parent class and its child. This is on purpose. Subtyping is requi…

Can you use views or other feature to tie together a table and its mapping table into a single view?
