This isn't very different from the West selling guns, tanks and police equipment to allied 3rd world countries. You hope they'll be used for good causes(preventing crime and terrorism) but knowing that these governments tend to be

You don't even need a system In Israel, before vaccines were made available to the entire public, people created Facebook groups reporting clinics which had spare vaccines, nurses would even go outside and offer random passerbys an opt

You're talking about the runtime aspects of executing concurrent code (OS threads vs green threads) but these are orthogonal to the idea of async APIs, which are one way of modelling concurrent programming flows. For example, futures i

Sorry, I wasn't aware that YouTube lets you rent movies, I was mostly speaking about normal clips that anyone can watch for free.

Nowhere did I imply that I'd gain copyright over the content. What's the difference between downloading and streaming a video? It's OK for the bytes to stay in main memory/network cache, but not in HDD? Would taking a me

Assuming this is true(that there's a clause against viewing YouTube with a third party client), then they're free to ban users like me from their service(and suffer the PR backlash), that doesn't mean that breaking that claus

That's not piracy. Youtube is sending you packets, out of their own choice. It's my own right to save those packets(without re-distributing) them and watch them in any form I like. Playing in the background is not a "feature&

KeepassXC does have a browser extension for Firefox & Chrome. I use Syncthing to sync it among devices, it's open source and fairly simple to use(compared to other DIY cloud apps)

And many developers loathe C++. Why should I have to use such a low level and antiquated language for developing a GUI? Nowadays you don't even have to use JS/TS, there are many languages that target JS and have decent bindings to

Some formats don't need to be read as plaintext by the average person. Would the average person edit a .svg by hand? No, he'd use Adobe Illustrator or anything else. Would he edit a .docx file by treating it as a zip archive and e

That's not how it works, the server wouldn't execute JS that is meant for a browser client, it would just serve it like any other static file. What you're suggesting will actually hamper security, because scripts served from

Yet another tutorial about using a GraphQL client. It's nice but I think the hard part is implementing a GraphQL server. Are there any examples of a full blown GraphQL server, interpreting complex queries as SQL/NoSQL queries in a

I think this is actually a case for delegated authentication, you can quite simply let Facebook(or Google,MS or some other trusted auth provider) handle these things instead of implementing them yourself. Use some form of social login(OAuth

This doesn't make sense. JSON is used because it's a handy data interchange format, but it doesn't mean it's the best tool for every job. XML is a document markup language that is much, much better than JSON for describi

There are plenty of great server-side languages and environments. C#,Java,Scala,Python,Ruby,Haskell. If this was about JavaScript and Front-End I might've agreed with you (there are transpilers but interoperability with JS modules can
