What I get from this is that during the process it passes through some version of gpt that is not aligned, or censored, or well behaved. So this internal process should not be exposes to users.

PWAs pose a security risk. Any malicious site can masquerade as another app, such as your bank. If Apple is implementing this intentionally, then they are justified.

The important parts of your business are in the backend, and should be accessible in json format. If you have a good api, developing native clients should be simple and fast.

But what I have seen are very confident web frontend devs (and product managers too) who only consider web solutions, and dismiss native apps as being duplicated work.

Not everyone that buys with credit card does so because they don't have money. Many people do this because this is the fastest way to move money to an exchange. Wire transfers to exchanges sometimes wait for weeks before they are confirmed.

I treat password strength relative to the importance I give the service I'm using. If it is something I care about I will use a 8-12 character password with a few uppercase letters and digits. If it is something I don't care about, but requires an account, "1234" should be enough.

I have even given up on registering on a few sites because they required a safe password. This is getting even more common to me with mobile apps. Typing long passwords on a small tocuh screen keyboard is difficult.

I read somewhere that Flask was born as an Aprils first joke.

So I ask. How safe is it to use in a real project? Is it a serious project today? Would you recommend Flask to someone who has never done any server side programming?

New comment by danibx in "URLs are for People, not Computers"

danibx — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:48:45 +0000

The only URLs I care about are the main domain URLs. And I dont even type them. I just use Google to reach the main site. It is faster than typing a full URL. Even more on mobile devices.

Or for commonly accessed sites I just type a few letters on my browser address bar. reddit.com is actually re+enter. news.ycombinator.com is actually ne+enter to me. After I reach the main site I usually click around or use the site's search bar.

So, I would say that good URL names are a secondary optimisation.

I would prefer to focus on this priority: 1) A good unique domain name; 2) Good SEO; 3) Good site information architecture; 4) Good internal site search.

Where can I learn about math notation and how to read math symbols expressions? Many times I find some articule that explain some idea using math symbols. And I can understand nothing. This week I was looking for a method to calculate the distance between two geolocation coordinates. Át. First the article used math symbols to explain and I could understand nothing. I didnt even know how to Google that "enigma". But a few lines below there was the same algorithm, but This time it was written in Javascript. And it was very easy and simple to understand. How to learn "math syntax and grammar"?
