In the case that you're providing an explicit id as an argument, yes. If it were a query, no. It's dangerous to use an empty value for all failed lookups, as you can't differentiate between "not found because it doesn&#x

deactivating and/or closing your account just gives them more datapoints imo, and the number of people who do it is so small that it makes a great metric for fingerprinting.

It's not the size of the change that's a problem, it's that the change doesn't address the problem at all, and that the only metric for success for these changes is how angry they make people (which, in the circles of t

It looks like yet another cosplay of 20th century labor politics, but with the typical 21st century twist of diverting the fight from those who wield power to... the paying customers, for whatever reason.

To give an example, I'd rather not have votes count from people who are upset about this one particular method of ranking. I might start using this view more!

absolutely wild to me that Real Engineers (TM) complained about this in JavaScript for years only for it to be called a "newbie mistake" in Go.

PiHole has a web admin UI that's pretty slick. It has options to disable the entire thing indefinitely/for a set period of time if you need to, and it can log all DNS queries, so you can override/manually block anything you n

Worth noting that PiHole also resolves CNAMEs and blocks them if they're on your filter list.

The problem, as mentioned above, is that the public understands exactly how science works, and it makes the scientists (and the companies paying the scientists) very upset.

But that's what "theory" means. It is, in fact, a guess; a guess that could be flat-out wrong the second a piece of contradictory evidence comes to light. But, instead of acknowledging that, for some reason a large group of S

Sorry to have to be the one to tell you: sometimes architectural decisions are driven by factors other than YAGNI. Right now you have throngs of young developers paying $50k+ a year for the privilege to learn how to use Docker and Kubernete

It seems like you could get most, if not all the way, there with an "isomorphic" Redux store on client and server side, along with a custom Redux middleware (very easy to write and well-documented) that reads actions from and writ

I used to love reading A List Apart in the 2000s and associate it with rise of Web 2.0 apps, so when I saw the domain, I wondered why I stopped reading. After reading, I almost laughed out loud that the author apparently felt the need to

there was once a guy that said that wages, at the end of the day, trend toward the employee's means of subsistence. seems like companies now are doing away with the window dressing around the employer-employee relationship.

Not even close to a comparable analogy. A better analogy would be yours, but where the ink disappears after 1 day and the person getting the tattoo dies a day later.
