my_ghola··on JavaScript Pattern Matching Proposal
I think that the large percentage of JS developers the GP is talking about is people for whom JS is probably their first or second programming language (and then the first is something like python, ruby or php).
my_ghola··on 1Password for Open Source Projects
Can you really trust the company? What about each and every one of the employees that touch the code? Can you trust their Government not to have asked them for a backdoor?

I don't think I can trust a password manager that isn't open source. Cloud or not.

my_ghola··on Report of Active Shooter at YouTube HQ
You say this, but there's people recording video and posting on twitter/snapchat. It's not only the journalists. And I think the word you are looking for is morbidity.
my_ghola··on Report of Active Shooter at YouTube HQ
If you have a gun and shoot at the active shooter, you become the active shooter.
my_ghola··on Slack's bait and switch
Is there an open source IRC/XMPP (or Matrix) client with features similar to Slack (side-threads, pinned messages) and preferably not using electron?
my_ghola··on How to Write CSS That Works in Every Browser, Even the Old Ones
Php gets away with making many things warnings instead of errors. So it seems to have been made with the same mentality as html and css.
my_ghola··on Do not use NPM 5.7
Does yarn run npm behind the scenes? Or does it even replicate the bugs in its attempt to be fully compatible? I used yarn to install global packages and see the packages in `/usr/lib/node_modules` with the permissions of my user rather than root.
my_ghola··on Do not use NPM 5.7
I just looked at my /usr/lib/node_modules directory and it's No man's land in there and I'm on npm 5.6.0. How could this go unnoticed for so long?
my_ghola··on Electron 2.0.0 beta
Mobile has react-native. What about desktop? I see this: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows for Windows. I wonder if something like that could be done for Qt?
my_ghola··on Telegram Remote Code Execution Zero-Day Vulnerability
> As an industry we've got to stop discounting vulnerabilities as not serious because they require user interaction which involves clicking through security warnings.

Maybe give it an actual name. Something like Vibkac: Vulnerability is between keyboard and chair.

my_ghola··on Funny or Die's Matt Klinman: “Facebook has destroyed independent digital comedy”
I think you just described flattr or patreon.
my_ghola··on Jack White bans phones at gigs for “100% human experience”
Just make the whole theater a Faraday cage.
my_ghola··on It Takes Two Neurons to Ride a Bicycle (2004)
Then maybe something that can translate math notation to pseudocode and back?
my_ghola··on DuckDuckGo moves beyond search to also protect you while browsing
Firefox bypasses right-click blocking when you press shift.

What it doesn't bypass is websites placing transparent things on top of what you wish to right-click on (for example images on Twitter). For that I use Stylus to add CSS and move things away.

my_ghola··on Evolution of <img>: Gif without the GIF
Part of the popularity of GIFs is that editing them is easier. You can edit them in photoshop or gimp or other image editors, which allow you to use skills learned for editing images (like putting those large black and white texts on top of an image) with it.

Video require more technical skill and different software people would have to learn (and time in case you need to edit it frame by frame).

What I find nonsensical is that imgur only lets you upload gif which it then converts to video instead of allowing you to upload video directly.

my_ghola··on Evolution of <img>: Gif without the GIF
Well GIF was encumbered by patents for 23 years [0]. Perhaps they were trying to recreate the same "feature".

Just add 2-factor-authentication tied to their phone. You can use Google Authenticator (RFC 6238).
my_ghola··on A Generation in Japan Is Facing a Lonely Death
Alternatively you could take the decision to die earlier. I'm not suicidal but I don't think it a crazy idea to choose not to become senile.
my_ghola··on Photo of butchered rhino is this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year winner
Here's it in the photographer's website: http://www.brentstirton.com/rhino-wars-mk-ii/d5qb7cq22hzwdnn...
my_ghola··on Open Source Game Clones
This is (was?) called the Java Trap: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html

    If some of a program's dependencies are nonfree, this means that all
    or part of the program is unable to run in an entirely free system—it
    is unusable in the Free World. Sure, we could redistribute the program
    and have copies on our machines, but that's not much good if it won't
    run. That program is free software, but it is effectively shackled by
    its nonfree dependencies.
my_ghola··on Matcha – A framework for building iOS and Android apps in Go
You can update the javascript parts without having to deploy a new version of the app, which takes time on the store's end to approve.
my_ghola··on Never Completed Game
It's simpler than that.
my_ghola··on Never Completed Game
#29 gives me numbers 188, 144, 152, 150, 139, 144, 223, 154, 141, 152, 144, 223, 140, 138, 293. What next?
my_ghola··on Never Completed Game
So the final question will be P=NP?

It will truly be a never completed game.

my_ghola··on Never Completed Game
binary 00010010010010000000 = decimal 74880
my_ghola··on Never Completed Game
`base64.decodebytes(b'RWluc3RlaW4ncy4')` tells me incorrect padding.
my_ghola··on U.S. Navy to use Xbox 360 controllers to operate periscopes aboard submarines
They probably added auto-aim.
my_ghola··on Three Years in Identity Theft Hell
They do use a scan or a photocopy, but having that stored it is easier to check the identity of the real person once they claim there was identity theft.
my_ghola··on Kick Start a JavaScript GraphQL API with Apollo-Server, Dataloader and Knex
But what is people fleeing to? The other 2 notorious frameworks are Angular and Vue.js. I've never tried Vue.js but Angular seems to come with a higher complexity than React. I know of Inferno.js which is very similar to React but comes with an MIT license, however the author was hired by Facebook so who knows how long it will stand.

Are WebComponents a thing yet? It might be better to stick to the standards and polyfills at this point.

my_ghola··on Docker Is Raising Funding at $1.3B Valuation
The same benefit of deploying a statically linked binary in a VM without the overhead of the VM.
