You can use typescript as jsdoc annotations

yes

What?! Katalin Karikó is an SVP at BioNTech, the lab that created Pfizer's vaccine.

This reminds me to this email from LuaJIT's list:

As an Indie Shuffle user, I feel happy for you!

This has been my most recommended book lately.

Most formal languages are created with an specific purpose, so there isn't simply a "best" one. You normally use tons of them in academia, and many times simultaneously.

If you give more information about what you are looking for, we may be able to help you.

If you just want to learn something interesting though, I'd say typed lambda calculus is a great option.

Also, I'd like to see statistics about how much of Flatiron-like schools and traditional schools graduates manage to get above-avarage salaries in their field. Comparing with other fields makes little sense.

The performance seriously decreases. I haven't measure how much, but I guess it'd only work for very very small scripts.

The author here: as mentioned in the article, it started as part of a security research, but once started I couldn't help myself from pushing it further and see how far I could get. So I guess it's curiosity and a fun mental exercise, and maybe probing yourself that you can do something that you thought was impossible.

Yep, that why I was asking. Also telling the users that if they loose their encryption passphrase they loose their data would be cool.

This is great! As far as I can tell by reading the source code, it encrypts everything locally before uploading it, and the server does not have the encryption key. Is this right OP? If it is, I think you should make more emphasis about it in the project's home.

That's not exactly true, but there is no public research that shows the contrary. I worked on a research project at INRIA earlier this year that focuses on that topic: http://stopfingerprinting.inria.fr/

AFAIK the project it's still active, but no definitive conclusion has been obtained.

Another great thing about studying is that you get to know a lot of clever people interested in the same areas of technologies that you are. And also, depends on your personality and the school maybe, a lot of possible business contacts.

I've been working as a web developer since I was 17. It wasn't hard for me, but I had an incredible good luck by then, getting my first freelance clients out of nowhere.

I'm about to get a master in computer sciences, and I really think it is worth the time (no money in my case, I'm from Argentina). It teaches you the foundations of CS and that normally improves your way to think about technological problems and problem solving. Also, it generally qualifies you for different kind of jobs.

just one?

Missiles? What if in that 1-second latency a car full of innocent people appear and they get killed?

Which is the latency of Nevada-Afghanistan? I'd always thought that this drones were operated from a relative short distance.

I'm from Argentina, and I have heard that many many times, but I've never read one of his book.

To be honest, as soon as I read the title I thought "but if you force yourself to deliver something new every day you want have enough time to actually learn new stuff in between", and you proved me wrong. Congratulations!

Did you even read the article? They link that in the first sentence.

Down in Argentina

They are profiting out of mongodb, they are getting people to invest lots of time, trust, and money in their product.

The author has a strong point that quality of the development process for mongodb must not be good if a bug like this one gets into production, when it could be avoided using automated tools. This won't be such a fault for a random open source project, but if you are making a business out of it, and you are encouraging others to base use it as a key part of their business it do is a great problem.

Whenever someone talks about Alan Turing as just a "code breaker" I cry a little

your last paragraph is what I meant with "random dude on the internet"

Tesla? I love Nikola Tesla too, but nowadays that name is also Elon Musk's company, and it's getting a lot of press, so you'll have a hard time with SEO.

Tell me paranoid, but I'd never use something like this! you are sending the messages to a random dude on the internet who created this API.

"Just as within other bases the corresponding number would be significant."

Numbers are independent from any base. You may mean the numeral in another base, which would have a different number of digits.

But what is more important, note that not necessarily the two ratios from the quote will have the same number of digits in another base.

$1k at the official dollar (non black market) value probably, which is not available. That price is 50% of the black market's one, so it'd be $500.

I don't mean that this money will prevent anyone from getting their apps paid, but it'd really discourage indie developers to start new apps, as it's now more expensive and complicated.
