If you had to make a few users and passwords and specify which tables were allowed for different users it is only because you chose to design your app this way. You must have felt there was some good reason to divide it up like that. If tha

For young impressionable readers, this is just a note that the parent comment is one person's opinion. There are opposing opinions here and throughout society.

I think it would be super interesting if there became a GMail of Matrix--one super-dominant provider--but it was still possible to have Fastmail and Protonmail etc of Matrix. So you could actually still host your own little community that c

Ellsberg very eloquently articulated the fallacy that juniors were less trustworthy. I don't think their junior status is an issue. I think perhaps the bigger concern is their quantity. I'll leave it to probability and game theory

That's a completely different topic. I'm tired of hearing people spout about a legal obligation to grow. If you mean "it will hurt somebody's feelings" don't say "it's illegal". Those words do n

It's perfectly legal to not grow at all.

Perhaps you missed the part about not needing distro-specific packagers by providing a way to run third party apps without having to trust third party packagers. You can deny access to the camera or filesystem or network without ever auditi

I'm not convinced that people who are not paying Redhat for RHEL Workstation support count as customers on this question. But this is still an odd statement. Previous customers who very much relied on LibreOffice might move to some oth

So only people capable of auditing source code and build scripts deserve to be able to trust software? There should never be any other way to offer trustability?

There were plenty of plausible alternatives before Sun bought StarOffice and made it Free software. There were plenty of plausible alternatives when the Libre folks "freed" LibreOffice from Oracle. LibreOffice is still the standar

I'm open to a discussion about this. It just so happens that I have recently witnessed many very generous people give out 100,000s of dollars in scholarships to local high schoolers. I'm willing to consider that those donations sh

My family is amused when I criticize the physics in a movie when a bridge collapses in an unrealistic way. Apparently I don't have any issue with the talking dog that flies across the river and uses mental telepathy to form a giant wav

The church in question regularly teaches that people should build up their savings against any reversal of fortune. It also teaches to be generous to those in need. It strives to set an example in both things. Your wikipedia link is about s

Everything is political. Absolutely everything. From the size of a parking lot to whether a browser can be included in an OS. To express an opinion on such things is an act of political activism. Abortion, gun contol, vim. Which one is not

I was recently asked to recommend a language for a new team. My boss (who won't be writing or even reading any of the code) suggested Python. His reasoning: it's what the kids are learning in college these days. So here I am as th

Compare your Rust with my JS: let decrement = _=>set_value.update(value => value -= 1) I don't understand your complaint about syntax. The real difference here is the concept of a move and a dereference. JS lacks these concepts a

My child attends a small, arguably underfunded, rural public school. It does not have enough faculty to teach Chemistry or Physics every year. Spanish is the only foreign language taught. The student body generally excels. A graduating clas

Why pay for college later on when you could pay for high school now? School districts charge thousands of dollars in fees per student directly to parents. Public school is not free even if it is greatly subsidized. Our state claims it costs

It is entirely possible for people to be paid to produce something that is made available at no cost to certain other people. For example, that hand sanitizer dispensor at the pet store. Yes, somebody is paying for it. In the case of a stan

So your premise is that a company should draw out their interviewing process so that the top 60% of candidates will accept offers elsewhere and they can lowball the 40% that stick it out? And you justify this because they would only have a

I'll point out just one side effect. A highly qualified candidate interviews with three companies. One does two interviews in a week and extends an offer. The others take two weeks to get back to the candidate, then do two interviews a

I would guess that 95% of the people I know exceed the speed limit 80+% of the time they drive. In fact, just suggesting that it is ok to drive the speed limit in the left lane of a U.S. freeway would draw near universal condemnation. Imagi
