Yeah, but any application with that privilege can log all keystrokes and upload it to a third party. Obviously this privilege needs to be far more fine grained and have limitations, i.e. registering a hook on particular key combinations, ra

I've been interested in this for years. Are there other similar projects that you're familiar with? Perhaps targeting other languages? What are the major problems with this approach to programming? Are large programs hard to work

That's very optimistic :)

Isn't it trivial for online poker providers to cheat, i.e. manipulate the cards you receive, and have a fake bot player at the table that can be made to win, etc. ?

I'm not convinced that it would make a difference, in terms of protecting against genocide or state-sanctioned discrimination, because such metrics can be derived from a thousand other touch points, including search history, social med

Also, IIUC, China is communist but has a "socialist market economy", so the two are not mutually exclusive.

I tried and gave up on getting Keycloak to use less memory. 500-1500 MB for a server with less than 10 concurrent users is ridiculous. And that's even using an external database.

The problem with the JVM, compared to Go, is the GC; it requires a lot of reserved memory. Go programs use far less. And the SDK is bulky, which can be a problem for container images - although arguably it should be considered irrelevant, a

I love Java in the same way. But that free-thinking definition of Java clashes with the mainstream beliefs in the Java ecosystem, and you'll get a lot opposition at workplaces. So I gave up on Java, not because of the language, but bec

I don't remember the original argument anymore. Something about communism being justification for US warmongering. Personally I think 19th century communism was context-specific to the 19th century; we now have AI, and central planning

Try using Google Maps in Satellite View. You'd be hard pressed to find land that isn't used agriculturally. IIUC, the land that is unutilized or has forest, is either protected, too hilly, too dry, etc.

"Communism" is the age-old American scarecrow that is used to justify the unjust.

That is fair; I think the reality is nuanced and that different opinions existed at the same time and were warring internally in the Soviet Union. In particular, IIUC, Trotsky thought that "a socialist revolution must spread internatio

And yet, every viable plot of land is used for farming. Similarly, I would argue that you should not underestimate the harmful and wide-reaching effects of industry.

I suspect that the communist project has lived under constant fear of the US, that the economy ultimately was bankrupted from having to defend itself against the US war machine. The US has waged war in virtually every country around the wor

A simpler explanation is that Americans have succumbed to consumerism to such an extent that the absence of it feels enlightened. Of course the reality is just that the US has become the axis of evil, and perhaps always was, it just had the

I agree about data diodes, but how do you handle data egress? One solution is to have strict data checks on egress, but leaks are still possible. Data diodes also still suffer from the ability to inject malware that can execute DOS attacks.

The state of the art is always advancing, which greatly increases the burden of starting from first principles. I somewhat feel that there was a generation that had it easier, because they were pioneers in a new field, allowing them to beco

I feel like comments lately have become full of false statements. VSCode is MIT licensed. But the extensions aren't, which locks you into the Microsoft distribution of VSCode. And that's how they turned an open source product into

Do you guys ever feel tired of 'sounding the alarm'? I feel like I've been doing that for years on a wide range of topics, but every time it's like you're talking to cult members. How do you break through to people?

It's important to remember that the communist states were in a cold war with the US, and were being sabotaged from within, so they had to aggressively monitor for internal threats. We don't know what the world would look like if t

That's not true. I've seen it firsthand. They built infrastructure that was free for public use. It is significantly better than privatized tourism, because private tourism is frequently taken over by organized crime who destroy t

It matters to you. Why are you projecting your needs onto others? Perhaps there's a nicer way to say it? "If the author so pleases, he may consider improving accessibility by making it compatible with Dark Reader." Then it is
