Re:Fetch API has landed into Node.js on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @11:44AM (#30165190)
Deno's is probably written in rust via the tokio rust crate. This version of fetch in NodeJS is written in JavaScript. It would probably get upgraded to C++ in due time once it's mature enough.

You're better of using some service in China that does log ip's if you're not living in China(not being part of the five eyes anglo sphere is the goal) and vice versa if you are living in China. Security via sovereign obscurity.

Re:Why pigeons mean peril for satellite broadband on Monday August 30, 2021 @08:24AM (#28354907)
sprinkling a few dead pigeons around the feet of the device as a warning to would-be trespasser is the darwinian end-game in all of this.
Re:Why pigeons mean peril for satellite broadband on Monday August 30, 2021 @05:23AM (#28354002)
Embed a pressure sensor that detects when a pigeon parches on it, then activate the electrocution mechanism of foreign biological organisms, also known as EMFBO.

Sounds like a win for Russia, new fertile area for farm land, more co2 presumably accelerates this thus providing new warm water ports across the arctic.
Re:Is catching Covid now better than more vaccine? on Saturday August 21, 2021 @08:57AM (#28256619)
We're already doing this with recent booster shots. So i think it's perfectly reasonable to also giga-vax.

It's not functional programming, it's functional languages that go bat shit crazy with the amount of symbols they use that'd make looking at heliographs a refreshing pass time.
All that expansive "privacy" marketing undone by a single move.
Re:What if JavaScript had a synchronous async flavor? on Sunday August 01, 2021 @03:41AM (#28024550)
Then this is not related to async/await but regardless even then JavaScript has always had the ability to change the writability of properties such that trying to change a property in an object will yield a no-op with Object.defineProperty, and now with newer features like Object.freeze and private properties.
Re:What if JavaScript had a synchronous async flavor? on Saturday July 31, 2021 @11:04PM (#28023469)
That is false except for the case that x is a global variable, no outside function can change the value of x, only in-scope procedures can do that.

Re:A critique of Safari's influence on the web on Friday July 30, 2021 @12:55PM (#28009921)
>but on iOS you can't use anything else

This is a good thing, you need a monopoly(iOS) to fight against a monopoly(Chrome).

Re:For developers, Safari is crap and outdated on Tuesday July 27, 2021 @02:36AM (#27969331)
Safari is un-intuitively an anti-monopoly browser, and as long as it exists to that end, it will be a force for good in the browser space.
Any study that concludes with ~50% is random noise.
It's entirely possible if we can move to general all-photonic computing in the next 5 years.

Re:Designing a better strcpy on Saturday June 19, 2021 @04:23PM (#27564114)
You could store two 32 bit fields and cast the second to a pointer when needed, and the first treat as a length.
The fact that it need not be nuclear, complicates their possible response because

>“Russia will perceive any ballistic missile launched at its territory as a nuclear attack

and based on recent historical data in ukraine, it's not beyond the states course of action to not do anything of consequential note, and instead opting for token gestures.

HTF(how the fuck) is Taiwan going send missiles beyond its own airspace let alone over China's to blow up the three gorges dam?

If China is serious Taiwan will be encircled with s-400's in little islands(artificial or otherwise) surrounding it before the first shot is ever fired, at which point the conclusion is already a forgone tale.

When it does happen the rest of the world(by which i mean the U.S) will be pre-occupied with domestic issues, cyber space issues and possibly another pandemic.

Not to mention the backdrop of the fact that the U.S launching missiles to China might trigger the MAD doctrine of Russia because missiles heading in that general direction might as well be heading to Russia, or be assumed to be as much.

>“Russia will perceive any ballistic missile launched at its territory as a nuclear attack that warrants a nuclear retaliation” - Russian military chief warned last year after round of reforms

Ergo the U.S president at that time will leave Taiwan out to dry instead of risking World War 3.

We're living in interesting times.

Re:Safari 15 on Mac OS, a user interface mess on Saturday June 19, 2021 @09:52AM (#27560459)
I much prefer less "chrome" so i like the new safari re-design, if it was me i would have just reduced it to just having a keyboard shortcut(cmd + f) that pulls up a spotlight like search that has the url and a list of the tabs you can arrow down on.
Buy seeds, and seal them with little sprinkles of wisdom like fortune cookies in places that would be accessible in the aftermath, the new inheritors of the earth will regard you as a prophet or god when they re-learn the ancient art of farming.

Non of which would have done anything but raise prices for the aforementioned, it was just a swiss politicians hustle to try and tax citizens masqueraded as "climate measures".

They're not outraged, they are just making fun of them for getting caught.
