Not any more than this HN comment [1] and its replies, one of which is mine. It's using golang's own extensions for secretbox [2], a NaCl-secretbox-compatible implementation, and it's adhering to the uniqueness of nonces as far as I can tell [3].

In other words, to my non-crypto-expert eyes, there is no glaring misuse of the "golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/secretbox" API that jumps out at me; I haven't looked at that package to see if it's okay.

> We've been duped into thinking that white meat is normal and good

It's also why McDonald's McNuggets are now made with "all white meat" - except it isn't breast meat. Its a mixture of meat and meat by-products that have been blended and bleached. It has a mouth-feel unlike either dark or white meat chicken; it's a unique combo (I am not against McDs or their nuggets, btw).

I remember when McNuggets first came out - there were three distinct shapes. Only the "round" shape was white meat - and actual all-breast meat. The other two shapes were dark meat. Today, there are only two of the same three shapes that I recall, and both are of the blended "white" meat.

Which is a shame - I liked the variety more before.
As a big fan of SF2, this was one of my favorite PvP 2D fighting games. Had advanced features like parries, missile deflection, crawling, and variable arena width (big playability issue, but the pixelization got pretty bad at wider angles).

HTTP2 Server Push is "for what it's for"—it's not trying to be web sockets, or Server Sent Events, or WebRTC Data Channels; it's just trying to (transparently) make HTTP a little bit more optimized while completely keeping all current HTTP semantics.

1. you can use Server Push just as well to e.g. notice when JSON responses you're about to send out contain "hypermedia annotations" (i.e. "link" keys), and set up async self-subrequests to push the linked resources as well—then the backend can avoid ever having to think in terms of something like GraphQL's nested schemas, instead just answering queries for individual resources with fields and foreign key IDs; and the frontend can just dumbly consider responses to map directly to objects, instead of having to have a complex OSI-6 presentation layer that unpacks nested-schema messages into their resource-object equivalents. Suddenly HTTP PUT/PATCH has coherent semantics again, without losing any performance.

2. This is "a good problem to have"—and a good design decision on HTTP2's part, in my opinion. Most sites don't need HTTP2, and can stay HTTP1. While, if you realize that you need what HTTP2 provides, that need will probably be driven by an individual application you have (e.g. Google Search) that is at such huge scale that it has its own custom infrastructure driven by your scaling needs, of which "and supports HTTP2" will just be one more. (And this argument seems to hold water: according to https://www.searchdatalogy.com/blog/http2-on-top-sites/, a large percentage of the top bigcorps doing web traffic have switched.)

There have been successes of this line of research. For example, touchpads and Synaptics came from thinking about how to build analog capacitor networks [0]. There are spiking cameras that can produce significantly higher range and temporal resolution than conventional approaches [1]. Like neural networks, the field sort of quieted down in the 90s but perhaps now is a new time for the field.

If you view the purpose of academics to train the next generation rather than simply advancing the field, the quality of reasearchers and engineers that come out of Kwabenas lab is superb. They easily work at companies like Intel, SpaceX, NIH, etc.

I think the insanely high housing prices are also largely due to the centralization of most new jobs centering around urban areas. People go where the jobs are, which drives up demand for urban housing.

I don't think the language is the slightest bit confusing. I also think your definition of "web server" is wrong. I would say a web server is a program that processes HTTP requests and optionally responds with something (commonly HTML, but can respond with data of any format).

That includes apache, nginx, etc. It also includes programs written in X language that process HTTP requests.

The context can be reused between tests. If you're not storing data in beans (which you normally shouldn't), this works well. There is a bit of subtlety in that the framework might have to create multiple context for different configurations, but each of them is reusable.

Running a single test is a bit of pain, but running the whole suite is not a lot slower than if it didn't use Spring.

> I gave you a trove of real world examples of serious security issues in widely used software developed by competent teams. Quite a few of these would have not existed in a language with the kind of guarantees that Rust provides. How is this disingenuous?

Genuine question : do we know that those bugs would have been avoided using rust? Maybe some of those part would have had to be done unsafe mode for some reasons.

> Take a look at the OpenBSD bug - any user can kernel panic the whole host, a massive security issue. Are the OpenBSD maintainers, in your opinion, "idiotic"? Or that Xen bug - privilege escalation. Are the Xen developers, in your opinion "imbeciles"? What about all the OpenSSL / OpenSSH ones? Perhaps they're "bad at C"?

When was this code written ? you are comparing old C code with (non existant/hypothetic) rust code. How do you know the rust wouldn't slower ?

> The truth is that as code gets more complex, writing safe code becomes harder. The above is evidence that even smart and experienced people regularly cause colossal bugs that have real life implications.

That we completely agree on, but we learn quite a bit on how to write better code. Some of that knowledge got embedded in compilers/compilers warnings and tooling, some retrofitted in the languages themselves , some through libraries design and coding guideline etc...

My main problem with your argument is that you saying that a code written in rust today would be safer than a code written in C/C++ decades ago...That's probably true.

I think a much more interesting question is how much safer a code written in rust today would be vs a C/C++ code written today , reflecting our current understanding and knowledge on how to build safe system.

In which universe is Go a part of a fast-changing ecosystem? It certainly isn't this one! The Go language abides a strict compatibility guarantee. Libraries, perhaps due to the poor dependency management situation, tend more than other language ecosystems to avoid breaking changes, or at least hide them behind different import paths. Go has arguably the least dynamic, most boring ecosystem among popular languages today!

"China has no interest in a unified Korea that would presumably be allied with the US."

Actually, China may have a lot to gain from a unified Korea, since they would suddenly become a much larger market for Chinese exports.

In the 1960s, China may have had a lot in common politically with North Korea, but today, China's economy looks a lot more like that of a capitalist country than an old-style communist one.

And China would have a lot to lose by getting involved in a war the the US, one of its biggest trading partners. (Not to mention that China holds about a trillion dollars worth of US Treasury securities.)
You could look at "basket", "product", and "searchResults", except that it tells me absolutely nothing as a dev about what it looks like. You shouldn't be using your CSS classes to tag sections, that's what id is for. And now, if I want to change the "basket" style, I'm praying that I didn't break something on the other side of the application. So in order to mitigate that issue, you end up nesting your CSS for safety and now you've re-created your HTML structure with CSS rules and it's incredibly inflexible to changes. I've found that semantic CSS classes are a pipe dream that never pans out.

> But also we sometimes correlate things that aren't necessarily correlated because we are just walking talking shitting correlation machines and it's what we do.

Heh :) I don't quite attribute humans to a complicated form of a calculator, but I get the sentiment. People thought back in the early 1900's, that people were not much more than really complicated mechanical systems, like clocks. Now, It's computers. I still think that's too simplistic.

> I don't mean to say "all in your head" like it's a bad thing though. My opinion is that most things are at the end of the day so I hope it's not offensive.

No, not at all! I had to first consider that wasn't the case for me. Consider it a sanity check. "Am I just seeing bullshit because I want to?" Probably. Can I disprove this? Yes. The key to disprove, is kind of a double blind test - you don't say anything, and someone else confirms... The only better test I could think of, is if someone else devised a ritual for you, and you conducted it, and you noted effects and happenings.

Agreed. The jump from real to complex numbers is about as difficult to explain as the jump from natural numbers to integers. Integers are the numbers you need for "subtracting numbers gives you a number". Complex numbers are the numbers you need for "factoring polynomials with numeric coefficients gives you numeric roots". There's a similar argument for real numbers that you hinted at, but I don't understand it well enough to give a simple explanation for it, so I pretty much always hand-wave over it.

If you have 100k people who've opened e.g. websocket connections to your backend, I doubt you're going to structure things as a 100k-socket connection pool open to your backend. You've probably either:

A. got that scaled across at least 100 backend servers, even if those servers' CPUs are almost entirely idle; or

B. have chosen a completely different, extremely roundabout architecture involving client async requests with HTTP 202 responses + client polling of a "status of server-side promises" endpoint; or

C. are effectively manually doing what HTTP2 does automatically, by having a "stateful-connection load-balancer server" (e.g. SocksJS) that mediates between long-lived client connections, and short-lived RPC requests with async responses from your backend.

Whereas, with HTTP2, that could very easily be one machine, taking in those 100k nearly-idle connections, and passing them over one TCP socket to one backend.

No, that is not my reasoning. I'm not talking at all about people operating or using devices that carry inherent danger to themselves or others. I'm specifically responding to the parent's argument about what counts as an acceptable threshold at which it becomes okay to compromise an owner's ability to modify these machines. The parent said that its only acceptable AFTER some nontrivial number of deaths, presumably of people in addition to the owner of the machine.

A related question I want to ask is: what is inherent about software that makes it not okay to have restrictions on modifications where lives other than the owner's may be at stake? I see other comments here that say things like "oh these machines should have mechanical limiters etc. that prevent them from being dangerous." But isn't that essentially the same thing, just implemented in hardware and not software?

I'd like to note that I'm not saying that John Deere is in the right here. I just feel that the argument in the parent comment is, for lack of a better word, inhumane.
