No Apple just don't even allow you to install a non Webkit browser from the app store on their phones. Why waste time advertising on competitor's websites when you can just stop th…

By default, under the same origin policy, a browser won't allow requests cross origin. But there are valid situations where you want a request from 1 domain to be made to other dom…

It will actually be tabs, which is standard for Go (as per gofmt), GitHub's default tab width is 8 spaces.

Did you just quote half of a sentence and refute it using the qualifier provided by the second half of the sentence? This was the full sentence: > Spending credit on crypto isn't a…

Understood, sorry I wasn't trying to dispute any of your points about said issues/mistakes. Just trying to clarify that he does actually talk about NPM and his regret about it.

> This stuff isn't relevant at all to the talk - he never talks about npm or anything to do with package managers but instead how node does imports etc. He does have it in his slid…

I'm a kiwi, who lived in the US from the age of 8 to 13 (1998 - 2003). I remember getting into a massive argument with an Elementary school teacher who tried to tell me I was wrong…

Unless it is an Iridium handset to Iridium handset call, it will always be routed to one of Iridium's ground stations: - Arizona - Hawaii (Military only) - Russia and then it is ro…

dep is still the officially recommended way to go for now. Russ Cox has mentioned in his blog posts on vgo that they will be working hard to ease the transition from dep to the bui…

So an open-access network ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-access_network ). This is done quite successfully in other countries around the world, like New Zealand where we main…

I believe that is more because most cities won't want a really loud rocket launching/landing nearby.

> So React is damned for including a PATENTS license A patent grant is a good thing, you want a patent grant as a user of OSS. The problem people have with React's patent grant is …

The MIT license doesn't change anything in this case, because the MIT license doesn't have a patent grant. This GraphQL situation is different and, arguably, somewhat worse than th…

And CRS-7 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_CRS-7 )

I wasn't saying a CSRF token saves you here. All I'm saying is that security is a complicated topic. People already misunderstand things like CSRF, CORS, resource protection, etc. …

Yes, but then you get people that fail to understand that CSRF only applies to a browser, and CORS only affects a user agent that implements a Same Origin Policy. And they fail to …

Although, you could argue that an attacker who is targeting self-driving cars could modify the sign in a way that is unnoticeable to humans, but greatly affects how the self-drivin…

No that is only the case if you don't count Michigan (which Trump is probably going to win very very slightly). Counting Michigan, Trump has 306 electoral votes. If you take away t…

Oh those are well up the North Island, they probably didn't even feel it there. Or if they did, it would have been very mild.

I know that Netflix was probably just an example, but for the record, Netflix is not one of these media companies. You can directly cast Netflix when using it from a browser, you d…
