BLAKE wasn't specified as being general purpose and was compared against SHA-3 as being "better" because it's faster. Since SHA-3 does support cryptographic functions, my comment is a reasonable response stating that performance isn't the only metric when choosing a hashing function.
Exactly, that's the best way to present FUD.

No: This is why you have a split between KDFs and hashes. Where you use one, you would not want to use another.

Trying to make one that does both leads to something that sucks at both.
Allowing submissions only from users with a minimum karma (50, 100, 200, x) would be a better solution for preventing spam and flooding. Something similar to down-voting permissions that currently requires 500 points.

It would be also much easier to implement.

I wrote a small/medium size, non-trivial tcp-server in golang two years ago, in just about 2-3 weeks. It pretty much worked first try! So far 2 minor bugs.

Originally it was meant to be just a quick kick-golang-tires prototype, to be replaced with C++ later, but it turned out to work really well.

My impression of golang is that it's very useful getting things done. The code has also been readable to other people pretty much immediately, and they've been able to contribute features into it. None of us used golang previously.

Had I written same in C++, I bet there'd been a lot more bugs to fix.

That is even more frightening. The union already has tremendous opportunity to negotiate for the rights of some members by giving up on the rights of other members. If it could pick and choose which cases were "really worth it" it would end up defending organizational insiders while declining to defend Joe Sixpack.

One positive thing unions provide is that they provide a valuable way for workers to know about and exercise their legal rights. If different kind of organization were providing that benefit, it woulLd still be defending workers accused of bad things.

To support mutability you would need redirections so that you can access to the most recent version with an old reference. The problem with that is that you can't check the validity of a redirection as you can do with a returned file.

Thus hash references work in a secure and trusted environent.

I'm sad that your post is downvoted, because (while I might have been a little more pleasant about it) I think you're generally on-point. The debugger is pretty poor, the compiler is pretty poor, there isn't much static analysis (and while the language's youth is an excuse, the profusion of tools for more semantically rich languages like Scala make me skeptical of the excuse).

I didn't mention Java 1.4 just for a lark; it's been long enough since I used it that I don't remember the ecosystem well but I do remember the style of coding being so brutally centered around type assertions and blind casts that Go really does remind me a lot of it.
This is obviously not what they are saying.

The most interesting part of this interview is the discussion of what happens when human agency is further removed from an individual bot. If a bot has no owner, do we start viewing it as an animistic entity with rights and responsibilities? Or, do we return to a world of individual as opposed to corporate responsibility? with decentralized currency and homomorphic encryption, seems like we are pretty close to this world right now. Very exciting.

Those guys at least weren't up on the state of the art. Early rough calculations indicated a huge mass might be required, which is why the Einstein–Szilárd letter to FDR said "A single bomb of this type, carried by boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory. However, such bombs might very well prove to be too heavy for transportation by air."

On the other hand, with as far as I know no more info than the Germans had, Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls estimated in early 1940 that a kilogram of U-235 might do it, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisch%E2%80%93Peierls_memoran...

They pretty much laid out the correct physics mechanism (fast neutrons) and were only off by a factor of 15 on the amount required; pity for Adolph that they were Austrian and German Jews self-exiled in England by then.

Obviously they'll just have to build multiple concentric walls. This will also sap the morale of any burners who are ambitious enough to climb over the outer one.
It's way more complex than that. Coke and Pepsi compete with tap water, owned by the local utility, as well as fruits and even the local snack stand, since sometimes people have enough money to buy a coke OR a snack, but not both.

In other words, it is far too complex. In Brazil, for example, a major competitor of Pepsi and Coke on the at-home segment if fruit sellers on traffic lights. People can buy a bag of oranges for a buck or so, and make a lot of healthy juice out of it, instead of spending 5X for a sugary drink.

And if there's opportunity to invest in companies which are undervalued due to being out of indexes, believe me, there will be plenty of people doing it.

If you change jobs, one can always roll over 401k accounts to Individual Retirement Accounts instead of the next company's 401k program. At that point you can control your own retirement funds in the roll-over IRA. (As always check with your own tax advisers to see if that's a good idea for your specific situation).
> No: This is why you have a split between KDFs and hashes. Where you use one, you would not want to use another.

That's not true either. Hashes are recommended to be used as input to KDFs.

Fair point.

What I was attempting to convey is that the reason I think the CL condition system works so well is that at its core it doesn't attempt to manage control flow directly; i.e. neither HANDLER-BIND nor RESTART-BIND unwind the stack on their own, and even ERROR only gets its behavior by falling back to INVOKE-DEBUGGER if unhandled. Because CL has good tools for doing non-local control flow that aren't bound up in its condition/exception system it winds up strictly more expressive (IMHO) than languages that conflate these.

What I've noticed from languages that have traditional try/catch exception handling (especially when that's the only non-local control flow available) is that the mechanism of error handling is seen as DEEP MAGIC by their users. If you separate it out into non-local control flow and a protocol for communicating exception handlers as CL does, the "magical" properties go away since it can be seen how the condition system could be implemented.

Or at least that's how it worked for me.

reinventing a lot of Java-1.4-era (because the language itself is essentially that) design patterns

Really? Java 1.4 had an extensive and consistent standard library, implicit interfaces, composition instead of inheritance, static builds, and built-in concurrency?

Go is not early Java, it's more like C 2.0, and I don't really see anything faux about the simplicity, it really is pretty simple, perhaps too simple for some tastes, but it's not pretending to be simple, nor is it simplistic. Which specific design patterns did you have in mind?

I'm frustrated with Apple when it comes to services. Don't misunderstand me: I love their hardware. I love OS X. It's the best computing experience since my C64 days.

But when it comes to services I tend to avoid them as much as I can. Latest example: Apple music.

I was a little annoyed by Spotify's continuously disappearing music tracks so I was eager to try out iTunes Music. But the problems started when I tried to get into the trial: You need a valid* credit card.

Now valid is a pretty interesting definition because I'm from Germany, currently living in Germany but my banking is done via a Dutch bank (back from when I lived there). So my credit card is dutch. And I live in Germany. But it's the EU so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Right. And no one has ever raised an eyebrow when I used a credit card that has been issued by a Dutch bank with my German address (not even the online poker websites I frequent from time to time). Not even once I had any problems with that. I'm paying my taxes in Germany via my Dutch bank account. The German tax office accepts it (they even issue transfers to that account). So if the German tax office (which still hasn't completely switched to electronic tax filing) can deal with that case then everyone on this planet should be able to. Well, expect for Apple. I just can not use that credit card with anything iTunes related. I get always an "invalid country error".

Now I'm in Germany, I'm from Germany, my iTunes account is a German iTunes account. But the fact that my credit card has been issued by a bank in a country that's just 20km from my current residence makes it invalid for Apple. A country that is part of the EU. It's like I wouldn't be able to use a credit card from California when I were living in Washington.

So I have to buy those pre-paid iTunes cards to top up my account. And so I had to add three months of pre-paid money to my iTunes account just to start the 3 months free trial.

Everything OK? Nope! I was too bold and I opted for a "family account". Now the most funny thing: Even though I am in the free trial period for the "family account" and I have enough money in my iTunes account to pay for the service I can't use the family sharing feature because for that I would need a valid credit card. iTunes just aborts with an "add a valid credit card" error when I try to configure family sharing.

It's like Kafka has risen from his grave and started a music streaming service.

There were 5GW of solar farms in 2014(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United_Stat...)

There were under a million private, rooftop solar installations, which are each very likely under 1KW. Which amounts to maybe < 1GW total? Which amounts to a percent of a percent of the solar-farm output. Which fits in the category of 'gimmick' very nicely.

Point 2... yeah, that's one of my major problems with Java. Unnecessary boxing and the unreasonable amount of complexity if you work around it. In any type of Object collections, it consumes memory, stresses garbage collector unnecessarily and causes a lot of CPU cache misses.

Value types would help so much with this issue. I know they're coming one day. I hope Java/JVM can replicate memory efficiency and cache coherence of C++ std::vector for small objects.

"...federal regulators will soon demand that cars automatically relay information wirelessly to one another as part of the U.S. government's vehicle-to-vehicle communication program. Those car-to-car messages will one day be able to engage brakes -- or your steering wheel"

That's bad. Governments are (by far) the most violent organizations on earth. They expand to control everything they can. The actions of power are always to increase one's reliance on it. It's almost a law of nature. If we give up our ability to control our momentum and kinetic energy, it's more than a slippery slope. It's a path to black boxes in everything, including people.
Indeed, but there's a chick and egg problem there. We put the plutonium process fully in gear before we even knew the average number of neutrons a Pu-239 fast fission would produce, when we had no more than micrograms or so of cyclotron produced stuff. Which was enough to work out the separation chemistry, ultra-microchemisty is amazing.

I guess my point here is that the Germans realized uranium separation was a no-go for them, were trying reactor based approaches, and they might have rolled the dice that way and tried the plutonium path. I'm saying the pieces were in play to possible success, not that it was at all likely without 20/20 hindsight.
