Sure, some Linux distros (or is it MacOS?) ask for confirmation before executing `rm -rf /`, which breaks the typical UX of the command but prevents bad mistakes.

Of course, but it's a kind of last resort thing to support a valid legal process they cannot (and probably don't want to) skirt around. They also publish data on warrant requests. To me it's pretty clear they are doing the ab

Yes I agree, bit of a stretch. Based on their whitepaper, it's a smaller version of the original image, I guess just large enough to support the human verification step. But I'm unsure that the thumbnail is included with every CSA

Presumably, it’s done this way so they can say computers other than your personal device do not scan photos and “look” at decrypted and potentially innocent photos. And technically the original image is never decrypted in iCloud by Apple -

I think it’s context dependent, just like other uses of the word steal. With copyright infringement, internet communities have come to agreement that it is not stealing, so avoiding the use of the word in that context is important. In base

What word do you use when someone unrightfully gains possession of something that isn’t theirs? Btw a lot of words in English have multiple meanings, and transform meaning over time, which can be confusing sometimes. For example, in basebal

Science supports that the sun really damages your skin, so you should absolutely use a sunscreen or SPF 30 moisturizer every morning. Digging deeper into types of ingredients that block sun, things get a bit more tricky. In general I’ve rea

Thanks for the response. And thank you for clarifying that there is a larger ecosystem of package repositories, and that Deno does not give preferential treatment to any. In theory npm can do the same, but of course there is official suppor

I would say, it doesn’t really fix npm. It has its own centralized npm repo, called deno land, and it’s own package.json, called deps.ts. Because it can accept any URL as a dep in the source files, you can in theory do some cuter, weirder t

I’d be curious to hear you elaborate on the singular/many things point. Trying to understand which deficiency you are pointing out.

Flow paradigm doesn’t claim scale though. It’s about being a DSL for specific environments, often visually-oriented software like CAD or interactive art, which doesn’t have heavy 10K person team requirements.

Side note: interactive debugging is kinda inherent with the flow based programming paradigm. The program is continuously executing with every new action and immediately reflecting the current state. To program with it is to debug. If there’

I would change your question from “does it have any real benefits” to “does it have a practical effect on the model” Benefits to me are clear: giving a developer choice over how their source code is used with for-profit, opaque, next genera

Awesome work! How long does it take to scan a room? And when scanning something like an apartment with multiple scans, how do you piece them together / automatically offset the points collected in the next scan?

Essentially yes. Once you get the first, you are scheduled for the 2nd, and aren’t questioned (and really, it’s all very honor system anyways). Early in vaccination, I believe sites were reserving 2nd doses for everyone who got the first. T
