Not sure if I agree with the scoring model here. I tried two phone numbers: my primary cell phone number gets a great 800+ score but reveals an accurate address history of 9 years.…

I found https://github.com/pfpacket/rust-9p to be reasonably good and easy to hack on. My fork ( https://github.com/piscisaureus/rust-9p ) has some patches to improve support for t…

This is the first time I've heard about a language called C--, thank you for that. The concept is not so unique as you might think tho; the more commonly used term is "tail call".

Ecma-402 support (the 'Intl' object, locale dependent number and date formatting, etc.) requires linking with the ICU library. We expect to support that in a future release.

Admittedly I didn't actually read the mailing list discussion. It's entirely possible that The Register made up a big drama where there was none.

I understand that reviewing 27k LoC is daunting and probably not very fun. But unlike most patches that draw a similar response it's not a narrowly useful patch that mostly serves …

This is something that we'll further work out in future versions. For now you can use a lockfile: https://deno.land/manual/linking_to_external_code/integrity_...

If PayPal says it is not a security issue, the researcher should just publish the details of how it's done.

I use FileExplorer for this and it works great: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fe-file-explorer-pro/id4994701... (No affiliation to the author)

Looks like the "founder" is https://github.com/ryankirkman . Doesn't look like he's MIA but rather distracted / doing something else.

Package validation (using a checksum or signature) is definitely on our radar. We just haven't gotten around to it yet.

If these batteries are as good as the one in my iPhone, they'll need to be replaced after a year and a half. Given that the plant cost 66M, sounds like they're going to make break …

Although propel itself is written in typescript, supporting users that want to write javascript is an explicit design goal. The npm package contains "vanilla" javascript that targe…

I find "beyond compare" to be a very good merge tool. It's not free, but not very expensive either, and works well with git. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way)

It uses an ioctl that boils down to 'an overlapped version of poll()'. So the call doesn't block - instead when an event like POLLIN or POLLOUT happens, a completion is posted to t…

I know - I am one of the authors of libuv. However libuv is pretty big and imposes its own asynchronous i/o model onto your application. Later I discovered that it is possible to d…

Shameless(-ish) plug: https://github.com/piscisaureus/wepoll is not a fat abstraction layer but it could help with windows support.

IMO Edge is a fine browser - snappy, stable, up-to-date with web standards. My big beef with it is that it tries to force feed me Bing wherever it can (even after switching the def…
