If you had to make a few users and passwords and specify which tables were allowed for different users it is only because you chose to design your app this way. You must have felt …

For young impressionable readers, this is just a note that the parent comment is one person's opinion. There are opposing opinions here and throughout society.

Why is it a forced choice?

I think it would be super interesting if there became a GMail of Matrix--one super-dominant provider--but it was still possible to have Fastmail and Protonmail etc of Matrix. So yo…

Ellsberg very eloquently articulated the fallacy that juniors were less trustworthy. I don't think their junior status is an issue. I think perhaps the bigger concern is their quan…

>It used to be that elite status was acquired through bravery, intelligence and integrity It used to be that people tried to manipulate public perception to appear brave, intellige…

That's a completely different topic. I'm tired of hearing people spout about a legal obligation to grow. If you mean "it will hurt somebody's feelings" don't say "it's illegal". Th…

It's perfectly legal to not grow at all.

>>pump up the stock price and enrich the current shareholders. >The problem here is that doing anything else as a publicly traded company is illegal. No, it is not. You aren't brea…

Commercial ISP. People had dialup internet access before there were commercial ISPs.

Perhaps you missed the part about not needing distro-specific packagers by providing a way to run third party apps without having to trust third party packagers. You can deny acces…

I'm not convinced that people who are not paying Redhat for RHEL Workstation support count as customers on this question. But this is still an odd statement. Previous customers who…

So only people capable of auditing source code and build scripts deserve to be able to trust software? There should never be any other way to offer trustability?

There were plenty of plausible alternatives before Sun bought StarOffice and made it Free software. There were plenty of plausible alternatives when the Libre folks "freed" LibreOf…

Please read the book. One guy follows a funky compass provided by...God(?) from Jerusalem to some coast. On the coast God shows him where to mine ore to make tools. God shows him h…

I'm open to a discussion about this. It just so happens that I have recently witnessed many very generous people give out 100,000s of dollars in scholarships to local high schooler…

My family is amused when I criticize the physics in a movie when a bridge collapses in an unrealistic way. Apparently I don't have any issue with the talking dog that flies across …

The church in question regularly teaches that people should build up their savings against any reversal of fortune. It also teaches to be generous to those in need. It strives to s…

Everything is political. Absolutely everything. From the size of a parking lot to whether a browser can be included in an OS. To express an opinion on such things is an act of poli…

It is a current truth that there are modern apps of interest to me written in Python that I can't install because I need some special dependency manager or environment manager or s…

I was recently asked to recommend a language for a new team. My boss (who won't be writing or even reading any of the code) suggested Python. His reasoning: it's what the kids are …

Compare your Rust with my JS: let decrement = _=>set_value.update(value => value -= 1) I don't understand your complaint about syntax. The real difference here is the concept of a …

Somewhere there is a team that is over the top happy about an incredibly successful explosion. Their job was to make sure that if flight path deviated beyond some threshhold that t…

My child attends a small, arguably underfunded, rural public school. It does not have enough faculty to teach Chemistry or Physics every year. Spanish is the only foreign language …
