@lanodan Bleh, the post is also off-puttingly self-congratulatory.> WebKit always strives for privacy by default. [...] To the best of our knowledge, no other browser on the market offers similar protections.Eeeh, no? Firefox worked with Tor to develop first-party isolation (basically, if you are browsing on randowebsite.com, anything loaded in there (including third-party JS, cookies and such) uses a separate browser state from anyotherweb.site.That subsumes all the tracking protection mentionned in the paragraph I elided 😹

@lanodan Yeah, of course, but “no other browser offers similar protection” crosses the line from unsubtle-communication to outright lies.I guess part of why I found it so irksome is because I really would like to see FPI adopted by all major browsers, because it's simple-ish (much more so than detecting bounce trackers) and addresses privacy issues in much more systematically.(You can tweak a tracker until “Intelligent Tracking Protection” classifies it as not-a-tracker; you can't bypass FPI in that sense, because it applies to all ressources.)And it's kind of a pity 'cause the rest of the article is pretty interesting and informative.Also, yay for more privacy by default, regardless of vendor or implementation :3

@lanodan Yeah, I've been seriously considering extending a bit the CSP API in Firefox so extensions could use it for efficient (and safer) content blocking.

@kemonine Yeah, there's a bunch of variability in batteries manufacturing, so the nominal voltage is definitely not a hard limit.Usually, good constructors will give you a confidence interval and hard limits in the datasheet though (along with the discharge curves and such)

@cwebber @cj Something that should illustrate it quite well is that you can't actually implement a RPC interaction without a runtime check, in a sensibly-typed language. At least not without unsafe code.That's because the communication primitive you use carries unstructured data (say, bytes) and to turn it into structured data you need to parse it: the parser is already a form of runtime check, as it will reject malformed data.Depending on how your RPC system is engineered, you'll then do some further, semantic analysis on the structured data, like validating it conforms to a given schema/datatype, in the process of converting it to a more specific type.(Sorry for the delete&repost, this was accidentally made followers-only.)

@pea It kinda ridiculous though, 'cause it's comparing a VM/runtime (BEAM) and a surface language ...(Also, BEAM and OTP aren't particularly good. Don't @ me.)

@codeawayhaley I think it's also valuable as a cautionary tale, though: a reminder that for there to be a commons for us, we need to care for it.

@jd Because to make an opensource contribution, you need privilege on several axis:having spare time and energy (i.e. not already working multiple jobs, dealing with reproductive labour, ...) or be employed in a men-dominated industry, and happen to be contributing as part of your day-job ;being able to engage with the project in a constrictive way; that's not happening when a quarter of women in opensource are made to feel unwelcome, and 12% are being stereotyped;have your contribution be accepted; women do face more criticism (well-founded or not) than male counterparts, and that extends to mailing lists & code reviews.(1) and (2) are quoting, essentially verbatim, the statistics that @GinnyMcQueen linked.You expected/demanded Ginny to educate you.You said that those facts (I repeat: 25% feel unwelcomed, 12% get stereotyped, 6% receive sexual propositions) don't have “any real insights as to why [we] don't contribute”, implying that the rempant sexism in FOSS just doesn't exist.So, yes, you are being part of the problem; like many other men in FOSS.
