>With your reasoning, Brainfuck is a robust language that everybody should use because it's never caused any disasters. This is a major logical fallacy. Ada is, has been, and will be used in many more real applications, many of which are very complex, and very long-lived. So no, you cannot equate this reasoning at all. Ada has been proven, Brainfuck most definitely as not been. Furthermore, I am highly skeptical that anyone would expect Brainfuck to be less error-prone than Ada. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that you could make a court case that using Brainfuck over Ada in a safety-critical system would be evidence for manslaughter.

No. Writing software is many orders of magnitude more difficult than setting up a VPN. Writing your own encryption is much harder than general-purpose software, so much so that the conventional wisdom is that you shouldn't even think about it unless you have a PhD in the relevant math, and even then you should only do it if you have a really pressing need.

Telegram doesn't turn on end-to-end encryption by default. This is probably the greatest criticism they are facing from security people. If you choose to have an end-to-end encryption chat (Called a 'secret chat' in Telegram) then of course they don't store keys.

But is this necessary? Is being more indirect/implicit a good thing? Is it an necessarily useful thing? I find it frustrating how much talent, energy, and time is wasted inventing yet another language that is yet another solution in search of a problem. I think the art is to actually make a painting with a reliable, familiar brush, instead of always making brushes and never having time to paint.

Conal's FRP wouldn't be implicit at all, but it's quite abstract. In Conal's model you have functions that are continuous respective to time variable, then you use suitable operators to build larger functions out of them. For example, you could have a function that takes in two moving points and returns a point in middle between these two points. It would be described by the following type: `(Behavior Point ∧ Behavior Point) -> Behavior Point` What this type specifically describes would be a moving point that is dependent to two separate occurrences of moving points. Likewise this model describes events as sequences of occurrences of some type. It allows you to describe events that never happen, and events that occur at specific time after some other event, and combination of these. But you can't conjure events up from your ass. A continuous function depending on events, say.. mouse clicking or motions, would be forced to have the type: `Event Mouse -> Behavior Point` This type would describe a moving point that is dependent to some mouse events. Conal's FRP model doesn't describe how to evaluate these or how to track state involved in evaluating behaviors. Also doesn't describe how the behaviors are introduced or eliminated inside the program. The point is that those details do not leak to the user of this system in the first place. Unfortunately when you seemingly leave something out, there is someone out there who fills in the blanks, tries to be practical with it, and mutilates the whole idea such that it becomes the same thing that you already had and that did not work. This is how we got to the Reactive javascript from Conal's presentations.

> Sublime, VIM, Notepad++, etc. can do it because they lack hundreds of features that VSCode has. I've always assumed that they can pull it off because they've been written in C or C++, instead of Electron. There's something to that, of course. Especially vim is very capable and can do everything that VSCode can do and much more, but that's another story. > if you are using VScode just to take a quick look to a JSON or any other source file, well, that might be your problem Yeah, basically. I like VSCode enough that I'd want to use it for anything and have an uniform text/code editing experience. But quickly entering a git commit message, although VSCode does it wonderfully, or checking a JSON/log/text file takes a 1-2 seconds unfortunately. It'd be great if it didn't, but I guess it's too much to ask for.

Or maybe it's not about making money, it's about not getting sued by a person like this (who clearly has no issue telling a limited one-sided version of events). If they did steal this guy's idea, then they deserve to be sued, but I don't really see strong evidence of that in this article.

I wish I could add two classes to the high school curriculum. Personal Finance and Technology Foundations. Personal Finance would be all about how to get a job, open bank accounts, how taxes work, writing checks, etx. Technology Foundations would, at a high level, go over how thing like how the internet works. How search engine functions, how a computer works. What happens when I call someone, the power grid etc.

> They use UCS2 in their APIs, but that has little bearing on what browsers themselves do. I agree with the second part of the sentence, but that first part needs some clarification: Windows APIs have functions that take UCS2, UTF16 or wchar_t (none take UTF8). Windows also has an insane TCHAR type that can be either unicode-compatible or not depending on compile-time flags. IOW, programs written using TCHAR can come out unicode-compatible or unicode-incompatible just by including the wrong header or changing a compilation flag.

There are far more platforms supporting C(and maybe even C++) and Java than platforms supporting browsers or node. Browsers only exist on the desktop and mobile and node is limited to the major OSes. C is considered to be the "portable" assembly and it's available on devices where no other language exists. Java is used even for things like credit card and printer(internal) programming.

> Your obsession at seeing Ada as the single solution to all software engineering problems should be cause for pause, not celebration. I think we need to spend more time building applications, and less time building tools. Ada is a superb tool, a proven tool, an most-purpose tool. I believe it should be used instead of C, C++, Java, Python, Rust, Go, PHP, etc. I'm not going to change my mind, you can bet on that.

After coding for 8 hours a day for 5 days, I don’t really want to be programming anymore. I think as an industry we should be advocating people use their free time to enjoy time with love ones and improve soft skills and just pursue hobbies outside of development. Failing this I think we’ll end up making our own lives only revolve around programming which would be dreadful.

Not technically correct, state syndicalism and corporativism means that business _plus worker unions_ get to decide how work relations would happen, those are the corporations, and all of that would be under strict government control. Union membership either being compulsory, or powerful unions lobying and dictating policy is all part of the same issue. That and overarching businesses are two sides of the same coin.

Would it really apply to them when OWS isn't an Australian organization? I'm aware of what the legislation says, but when it refers to individuals, it seems —to me— to be referring to solo developers, not people working anywhere in the world who happen to be Australian. Like how do people propose that Australia would punish Signal developers? Banning them from entering the country? Arresting them on entering the country? Arresting any developers who have worked on the project from Australia? Doesn't really seem plausible to me.

You disagree? 'Applied statistics' and 'machine learning' are synonymous? 'The cloud' and 'a computer in an arbitrary place'? That's not even the main point, either. Marketing latched on to those terms in particular for various reasons, sure. And some others. Agile's a good one. But originally those terms all meant something. They weren't chosen for marketing as stated, they were chosen to name specific things (even Agile) and co-opted and abused for marketing later. We aren't muddying waters by giving specific names to nebulous concepts, the people doing the marketing are by making them more nebulous than they necessarily are. I'll admit there are some exceptions (the weird habit of giving vulnerabilities sexy names comes to mind, but in a weird way I'm okay with that, people listen when you start talking about Heartbleed, but their eyes glaze over when you talk about CVE-2014-0160, and we wanted a lot of people talking about Heartbleed quickly) but they're the exceptions, not the rule. In general, this article is trying to make us as a group/culture entirely responsible for a problem that isn't our fault, and to some extent can't be solved at all.

>If we are going to pad the input as the RFC suggests so that we never use =, we may have to pad up to two bytes of input with zeros. That would form a valid UTF-16 NULL! I think the author is misreading the RFC. It says to pad the input with zero bits until it reaches a base64 character boundary, prior to doing the base64 encoding. This always requires adding either four bits, two bits, or no bits. Never two bytes. Here are the three length conditions: 1. The input is a multiple of 3 bytes. The base64 encoding will be a perfect multiple of 4 bytes, and no padding is needed. 2. The input is one greater than a multiple of 3 bytes. The last byte will encode to one base64 character and have two bits of unencoded data remaining. Append four bits of padding to the input to complete the final base64 character. 3. The input is two greater than a multiple of 3 bytes. The last two bytes will encode to two base64 characters and have four bits of unencoded data remaining from the last byte of input. Append two bits of padding to the input to complete the final base64 character. For a fully-contained base64 string, the "=" bytes are always unnecessary. It's always unambiguous what the string decodes to without those bytes. There are two reasons that padding bytes exist at all: They make it possible to concatenate two separate base64 encodings without having to reencode the second part to align properly, and it ensures that the output is a multiple of 4 bytes (which, in theory, allows certain performance optimizations, if you can count on the padding bytes being there).

>The first amendment isnt just about speech of individuals. It's also about freedom of press, which was even done by corporations at the writing of the constitution. There's a difference between saying a group of the press that is organized as a corporation should have free speech because they're part of the press, and saying that because some of the press is organized as corporations, therefore, all corporations should have free speech. I can understand the former but not the latter. >Requiring a balanced approach could easily backfire. If someone runs a piece on climate change, are they required to give time to climate change deniers? If so, [/r/enlightenedcentrism](https://www.reddit.com/r/enlightenedcentrism) would like to have a word. No solution to a real-world problem is perfect, with no downsides. I would rather allow those who are clearly wrong to have a voice in a debate than to allow for unaccountable private corporations, with their own private interests, dictate what is said about a particular topic.

This is the sort of article that I almost compulsively want to downvote. Not because it is badly written, or it isn't interesting. It's a great post with good content, etc. Just because the topic being written about is such an Eldritch horror that I automatically recoil in terror and lose two sanity points after seeing it.

It would be pretty much unenforceable for him to agree to grant them rights to his "homework." Even if he signed something, the court would ask what he got in exchange, which was nothing, and conclude that the company can't just demand stuff for free. If anything, the company would wind up in trouble for unpaid labor (and unpaid payroll taxes.) As a worker, you may not find the state as strongly on your side as you would like sometimes, but they do f$&%ing love payroll taxes, so the state always wants to make sure workers get paid.

I used to think that too, but I find the way he treated requests for a non play store release, the lack of federation, and the lack of a canary to be extremely suspicious. He's been cleverly avoiding questions about federating signal, getting it approved and uploaded to fdroid, and there's literally no logical reason for any of this if he genuinely cares about privacy. IMHO Any non-federated messaging system is doomed to fail or fall into corrupt hands. A good messaging system doesn't require trust in some centralized third party company or organization. This blog post by sircmpwn sums it all up nicely. https://drewdevault.com/2018/08/08/Signal.html EDIT: It's worth noting that I do still have a lot of respect for Moxie. Especially with this news of him standing up to the Australian government. I don't trust him though. I shouldn't need to.

I agree with Bob on this one. The infiltration of social justice totalitarianism into the developer community is cancer. His blog really isn’t a straw man. At no point does he mention “progressives”. You have just (either purposely or by accident) conflated social justice totalitarianism with progressivism. It’s an easy mistake to make, because “progressive” is one of the buzzwords they like to hide behind.

These laws were pushed through by our current Home Affairs minister, who is an ex-cop/militant potato. He outright said recently that he sees parliament as a hindrance to the government. The reason that the opposition allowed the law to pass is: There will be a general election next year, but the current government have scheduled only a handful of sitting days before the election. As soon as there was resistance from the opposition, they started screaming how the opposition was "siding with terrorists and paedophiles" by not passing the law. The opposition decided that they couldn't politically allow the current government to have this line of attack until the next sitting day. Which is in February. Basically it was "cave in now, or have 2-3 months of us telling the population that you support terrorists and paedophiles before the election." Welcome to politics.

I imagine you do indeed learn a lot about how people behave. But if you still have that policy, maybe you aren't learning as much as you could? In particular, I would imagine you learn that a lot of good developers would rather work for companies that don't require them to do a ton of work for free, and the only ones who have 20+ hours of prep time available for a single job interview are the people who don't have many companies trying to recruit them. If you have recent emails from a half dozen recruiters, it's clearly a rational choice to spend 20 minutes responding to all of them, rather than 20 hours dealing with one company. Unless the company is genuinely extraordinary and the pay is absurd, I would honestly encourage you to reconsider the way you do recruiting. Being easy for good people to work for is always a good thing.

In particular, real shadows have what's called a "[Penumbra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra,_penumbra_and_antumbra)," because real light sources are not usually perfect point sources. You can either try to model that accurately (for example by modeling your light source as a cluster of point lights) or you could just try and blur the edges of the shadow to simulate this.

Honestly, if a platform chooses not to comply, what can really be done? They can block the platform inside the country. So what? If people want to continue to use it they will find a way. If I were head of a team that developed secure tools and some country or other told me I had to break my product, I would tell them to eat shit, they can enforce their laws on their people in their country. If they tried to compel me to enforce it for them I would tell them the same thing. If they wanted to charge me with something I would just not go there. That law essentially bans signal. Signal is supposed to not be signal anymore now just to comply? No, the Australian government can ban the product. That's all they can do. Look at matrix.org/riot.im. Those are open source projects (GPL v3 I believe), they build a framework for encrypted communication for individuals, teams, groups, including voice, video and chat. They aren't a for profit entity, it is open source so it can be forked, you can never put a backdoor in something like that because it will be forked. You can never compel anyone to comply with anything because anyone can contribute. What is the Australian government going to do about that? The only thing they can do: enforce use restrictions on their subjects. So fuck em. Let them do what they're going to do. Since when is it the responsibility of every product developer to comply with every law in every country? You can only comply with laws where it is in your interest to do business. If they want to ban a product in their country it is their prerogative.

Supposedly the law applies to products and devices in the US and their makers (anywhere they are) the only thing special about Aussies is the government's ability to hold penalties over them. In theory they could make the same requests to anyone, and intend to so (e.g. for Facebook which doesn't have an engineering presence in Australia).

Most languages and environments that use UTF-16 don't *really* use UTF-16. It's usually UCS-2, which people just called "Unicode" back when most of these early implementations were made. It's a straight-up 16-bit encoding of each character. Since it was a fixed-width encoding, it offered most of the performance benefits that traditional 8-bit text encodings offered, so it seemed a reasonable choice at the time. That is, until more characters were added to the Unicode standard and it was no longer possible to represent every character in a fixed 16-bit encoding. That's when UTF-16 was introduced. This was designed to be backwards-compatible with UCS-2, with one major difference: a certain previously-unused range of values became reserved for those purpose of something called "surrogate pairs". A surrogate pair is basically a 32-bit encoding, used to encode the characters that are beyond the range that UCS-2 could encode. This means UTF-16 is capable of encoding all Unicode characters, but it is now a variable-width encoding, which means all those nice performance characteristics are thrown out the window. In UTF-16, you *can't* measure the number of characters in a string by taking the byte length and dividing. In UTF-16, you *can't* find the byte position of a character offset by taking that offset and multiplying. You have to actually read through the string. Most UCS-2 implementations pretty much stuck with UCS-2, for performance reasons, with support for UTF-16 surrogate pairs kind of hacked on awkwardly. For example, in JavaScript, let's say you want to put the Unicode character U+1F600 into a string. You can do this using the UTF-16 surrogate pair '\uD83D\uDE00'. When you throw this string into a document, it will be properly converted to a single character in the document's charset. However, if you do '\uD83D\uDE00'.length, you get 2 instead of 1. '\uD83D\uDE00'.charAt(0) returns just '\uD83D', which is *not* a valid UTF-16 string. Basically, JavaScript strings aren't true Unicode strings, they're basically just byte strings that operate in two-byte increments and assume a UTF-16 encoding during conversions. Other languages that implemented Unicode early on have similar issues. UTF-8 was introduced later, as a saner way to do variable-length Unicode encoding. Its performance characteristics are similar to UTF-16, but it's more compact and backwards-compatible with ASCII. There's basically no good reason for anything new to use UTF-16 over UTF-8 (and before you say something about Asian languages, the space savings of UTF-16 aren't as significant as you might think, once you mix in the markup/JS syntax and compression).

Well, a)its hosted in web (access from everywhere) - you just jump on your new PC , enter page and dowload all your config b) doesnt require any preinstalled software - no dependencies (e.g. you are a player and wants to play your game on your friend's PC) c) cross-platform (I dont know what stow is but I see its not available on e.g. windows) In future I plan to add native app so you just click and the config is exported/imported automatically.So e.g. everytime you jump into new device you just do one click.

>50s and 60s labour movements were strong enough to prevent fascist ideologies from taking hold among the working class Okay so in the 50's and 60's there was still extremely rampant fascism. In Western Germany for example hundreds of Nazi Collaborators simply became government officials. The United States of America literally hangs [massive golden Fasces in their congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces#/media/File:Obama_Health_Care_Speech_to_Joint_Session_of_Congress.jpg). The [Fasces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces) is the root work of Fascism. The [American Legion in the 1920's to 1930's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legion#1920s) continued to invite Mussolini to give speeches at it's annual convention. Hell Mussolini whole sale ripped off [The Bellamy Salute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute) from the US. Hitler modelled _Lebensraum_ off of [The American Manifest Destiny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_destiny#Relationship_with_German_Lebensraum_ideology). The Ford Motor Company used [slave labor in WW2 in Germany, and Ford won a medal for it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford#The_coming_of_World_War_II_and_Ford's_mental_collapse). Hell the Ford Motor had law suits against the US Government in the courts until [1998](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ford_Motor_Company#Nazi_collaboration) concerning the destruction of their factory's _in nazi germany_. While building weapons of war for the enemy. The USA is the _real_ home of fascism.
