Yes, I got that. But the "good parts" according to this artcle derive from where it can work like a statically typed language.

So... The answer is fundamentally "statically typed", right?

Feel free to use what you feel is good for you. But this makes a lot of sense (to me!) for simpler scripts. Imagine cron jobs or other "internal" scripts, maybe things that you launch on a cluster via ansible or other tools for pe

eBay has no warehouse. eBay has no printing service. But I'd say that eBay should offer a fake-reporting system (which AFAIK exists) and should report users engaging in such activities to police or other institutions. The problem with

Well, they forgot to say that five star online platform - https://rousseau.movimento5stelle.it - is a php handmade webapp with a lot of security problems. Not a good point for the movement. I think the wired article is decent, m

Sort feed by date -> OK. But the setting is not retained. Terrible.

Possible, but is it a good idea? If the package is called "openjdk-11", I want JDK 11.

by alanfranzoni 8y ago
Jdk 10 is unsupported already.

This looked like a decent idea when the package was created, but turned into a disaster, an example of how NOT to do things.

And how is that API call performed? To whom? To my device, via a specially exposed service? Or is it part of gsm/umts/lte specs, and every packet I send back to my carrier contains my gps data?
16.
by alanfranzoni 8y ago
I understand a-gps from an end user pov. I don't understand how and when such data is retransmitted to the carrier. Carriers shouldn't have access to my gps data.
17.
by alanfranzoni 8y ago
I do not understand. That carriers have my cell location data, that seems ok. But do they get my own phone GPS data along with it? The article seems to imply that such data is sent only when dialing certain emergency numbers... Not always!
18.
by alanfranzoni 8y ago
Does anybody have an explanation about A-GPS? How does it work? I thought it was available to end users, I don't understand why carriers have such data.

I'm happy that 2017 is the date of the article, and not of the event.

Not necessarily, if the private key is different for every device. What would you have done instead?

I think that the point he'd like to make (a bit clumsily, IMHO) is that we should NOT rely on SUBSCRIPTIONS only. We need more micropayments for single-shot buys. When I was younger (but then, I'm from Europe), me and my parents s

Essential security practices (not advanced PT skills) should be basic software quality concerns. Full stop. "But it works" is not an excuse e.g. for doing sql queries without proper parameter binding.

Or, even better, your services need authentication and authorization even on internal network, with some sort of SSO and/or federated authentication, so it actually doesn't matter where you are. Google's own BeyondCorp initia

This happens because you use Google's own SMTP. If you configure an external SMTP (e.g. Amazon SES) then the gmail webapp won't tell your gmail address to third parties.

There are many pre-natal tests available. I was specifically referring to nipt, which is usually priced around $200-600, and can spot Down and other DNA issues with great accuracy.

I have worked with people with Down syndrome in the past, and I must say they are amicable, nice, and with the proper education they can quite compensate for their condition. That said, I don't know whether they're part of the &qu
