I wonder if the fear is that you might end up having less than ethical (rogue?) employees that might think they're helping the company by using some form of workaround to track users. I'm not sure if that's overly paranoid or

That's fair, it does sound like a novice take; but it's still "business as usual" w/r/t what is touted as best practices where it comes to version control. At least that's my slightly above novice take on

Setting your package version to allow for minor updates _is_ responsibly consuming the dependency.

From my years playing Minecraft, it's probably got a lot more to do with the layout of the upper room. Like you don't want your spiral ending toward a wall, you want it ending toward the room itself.

Since switching to React functional components I haven't once felt a need to switch back to class based components. The hook ecosystem just feels right. I suppose it's a matter of opinion at this point, but I do really appreciate

Before reading this list I didn't know that base64 can read files. So it's useful in the respect that a novice can get a better understanding of their attack surface (I think, I'm a novice to this after all) :)

When I wrote "could you explain why you think I'm wrong", I was expecting that people who had reasons to believe I'm wrong would respond, and would explain those reasons, not that someone would explain to me how speculat

That's not really explaining why (or how) I'm wrong, just that you don't believe me.. which is fine, but not constructive. It seems generally less believable that Facebook would censor people without telling them. Other comme

I'm going to go on out on a limb and guess that this isn't really a case of censorship, because it's not like Facebook to not tell you directly that they've removed your content. Or they go the other route and post a dis

I thought something like this had happened to me, but it turned out that they had just deleted their previous account and created a new one with the same name and profile photo. I suspect something similar happened here.
