I'm not aware of any alternative meaning; the article mentioned in the earlier post gave a good explanation of it IMO.

My personal experience is with the Left and certain people being extremely in-your-face about it and (ironically) pre-judging me by my gender, sexual orientation, and skin color.

But yeah, I think identity politics exists everywhere on some level, it gets corrupted and bad the further you go towards the extremes of the spectrum, but for better or for worse on the Left there seems to be more of an overt part of the narrative currently (which leads to e.g. https://goo.gl/V47VH8).
I have to ask what is probably a dumb question.

Why? I used CodeMirror on three projects. It was great. Now I use Monaco aka Visual Studio Code. What would CodeMirror offer ? With Monaco I get all the lastest feature of VSCode . Current versions of Monaco include Intellisense etc..

I'm honestly curious both what CodeMirror will offer and why even try to compete. Though I'm guessing the answer to the first question answers the second
But isn’t it only to the immediate caller using the explicitly declared error, not all the way up the stack?

That’s very different behaviour and along with using the error interface avoids the main objections to exceptions ( unexpected throws handled far from the error location, unexpected errr types).

This is just a small change to make it easier to annotate and easier to return without comment.

CORS requires an HTTP header white listing allowed domains. If the attacker can modify the HTTP headers they don't need to modify the HTTP body in order to perform an attack.

> Also, the attacker could inject <img> tags

First, the image needs to be requested using the same protocol that requested the page or it will notify the user of insecure assets. Second, but they would have to write a custom script to gather the data to append as the URI query string. Third, the image would need to be injected after the user has manually entered information to the site, which eliminates static images in the HTML source. Fourth, actually test this. When I test it I get a CORS error in the browser. Strangely, Chrome reports this as a warning instead of as an error, but the request is blocked and it never leaves the browser.

> Also, if the attacker is already man-in-the-middle attacking yoursite.com, they could make the site's code make ajax calls to

No, that is not allowed by the browser and will throw an error. It violates same origin policy. If you can figure out how to break same origin policy Google will pay you $5000 for reporting a significant issue to their bug bounty.

I would largely agree.

Although I find it quite troubling that I often feel like I have to hold my tongue when visiting Silicon Valley when discussion turns to politics.

I’m slightly right of center politically but range quite broadly issue by issue, including a couple issue where I Lean to the left.

> I believe Golang has two different kinds of productivity. Productivity within the project goes up quite a lot with generics. And then, everyone tends to immediately treat every problem as "let's create a mini language to solve this problem". The second type of productivity - which is getting more and more important - is across projects and codebases. And that gets thrown out of the window with generics.

This is a very valuable observation, relevant outside of Golang, which underlines the pitfalls of abstractions. Design patterns aim to standardize abstractions so that other readers of the same code can easily understand.

I used to capture the same related principles in what I called "IKEA code" - simple, elegant code that is cheap to write, easy to understand and use and not meant to last forever. I.e. code and design that is meant to be replaced.
I think the concept of "local productivity vs global productivity" is very related and completes the "IKEA code" principles.
Rather than suggest one is better than the other, I think it's important to understand the motivations when making a choice.

I like working with vets for my stuff (epidemiology) because there are really interesting constraints.

As you mention, one chicken is expendable, but you're worried about tens of thousands of birds.

A sheep is...mostly expendable. You have a low, market driven cap on what you can spend.

A dog or cat, less so - there's an emotional connection, but there's also an upper threshold (with a wide range, and who has what threshold is often surprising).

A race horse...well, let's just say equine ICUs are really pretty nice, all things considered.
Heh, it's hard to get someone more qualified to look at this issue than Ian Lance Taylor. An unknown member (by most) of the Go team that more ought to know about.
You know what's even easier than a simple Nginx server setup? A simple https://caddyserver.com server setup. Which will automatically provision a LetsEncrypt cert for you, no configuration required.

Or, let's go even simpler: no server of your own at all. Anyone who uses GitHub Pages for their static site, gets an automatic LetsEncrypt cert provisioned for their custom domain if they set one. (I'm honestly surprised that other SaaS hosts that set you up with some service on a subdomain, and allow you to map it to a custom domain, haven't followed along and done the same. It's an easy feature to offer!)

Deploying Nginx is a uniquely-bad example to use right now for TLS ease-of-use. There are all sorts of setups where TLS "just happens"—some of which web-development novices will likely encounter before they become experienced enough to consider "deploying their own web server" to be a sensible action.
Thoughts on Keybase platform?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

I've been using Keybase since shortly after it was announced and a friend got me a beta key. However, when I say "using" I mean more in the sense I've had an account and follow a few friends to theoretically make sending signed/encrypted messages to them easier, not in the sense that I've actually had much success with this.

Most of this I'm sure is just because I just don't know a lot of people who use PGP/GPG and so despite going to all the trouble of having it set up on all my devices it's hardly useful other than signing all my emails and hoping someone will bother to import my public key and start encrypting our messages.

That said, I find the idea behind Keybase pretty useful and hope it catches on. Aside from linking identities on the web together and therefore making a "web identity" more ... verified? it's also great because the command-line functionality means it has a ton of potential for integrating with client-side software.

I'm curious what others think about it though. And hey, maybe just asking about it will get some more people onto the platform and approach critical mass.

Lisp tends to build abstractions, too, and it also does that via macros, which are even harder to mentally parse unless you have a habit.

I'd say that to attain simplicity and clarity, you have to limit the use of abstraction. OTOH there's no way to avoid abstraction at all; programming is all about abstraction. If the means of abstraction are not powerful enough, copy-paste programming and boilerplate proliferate, making code less maintainable and harder to understand.

I chose words for two reasons:

- First, they're super-hard to capture. "What did a patient say to me?" doesn't end up on medical record systems.

- Second, that's what they often describe to me. That the patient was describing something, and they weren't sure why, but it made them worried.
Specifically, I mean for this specific purpose, as a service.
> Just because a feature can be misused doesn't mean it's not legitimately useful.

The point isn't that it can't be useful.

In the real world, the amount of code I'm forced to understand that uses overly complicated abstractions is the issue. I'm glad one language finally took the opposite direction.

There is a faulty assumption that higher cholesterol leads to higher risk of heart disease, but the fact the opposite is true.

http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2016/11/familial-hypercholesterol...

A few of the other facts/assumptions you make are outdated. Statins do very little to improve mortality. Inflammation can be reduced by cutting out carbs and sugar. Eating more saturated fats and omega 3 also reduces your risk of heart disease.

In fact the whole dietary advice given over the last 60 years is responsible for the epidemic we now have with obesity, diabetes and heart attacks. But they can't come out and say they are wrong, but they are slowly changing it a bit at a time.

I'm not sure even sure they will ever change it. It was designed for Vista using a security model that now corresponds to the "always ask" setting, and hastily changed to propose the two other settings for Windows 7 because users were thinking it asked too often. But the other settings do not even correspond to a sound security model, so there are hundreds or maybe thousands of bypass in Windows if using those, which include the setting by default. That's why MS simply declared that it is not a security boundary, because they had no sound model to make it work against. It's a "best effort" casual mitigation.
> privileges parts of the standard library

It really doesn't. Maps and channels are not part of the stdlib. They're part of the language, but not the library.

Similarly, range is part of the language, not the stdlib.

If the stdlib was privileged, "container/*" in it would be generic, but it's not.

Cryptocurrency Backed Lending Platforms
The reason you are being downvoted is because your argument basically boils down to having an unreasonably narrow definition of what “efficient” means. In context, it’s obvious that “efficiency” here is the ratio between the amount of heat provided and the amount of energy spent. You might call it EER, I might call it COP, but it’s irrelevant because in context the word “efficient” is unambiguous.

Narrow interpretations of definitions to support a point don’t actually provide much useful insight to the topic being discussed, and are seen as distracting. So these non-useful comments are being downvoted to make them less visible. It is not an issue of whether they are technically correct.

You could probably make an interesting point about the electrical efficiency of heat pumps, or you could make a comment about terminology and explain that “technically” the correct term is X, but instead you chose to interpret a term in a way that contradicts the contextually obvious meaning and then base an argument on top of that.
Wyden and Udall spend a lot of political capital pissing off some very large players over these topics, from telecoms companies to the NSA. And for their trouble, they mostly got squat until Snowden, which at least them them start yelling "See, we said it was awful and you'd be mad if you knew!"

There are governments that work on solutions to give each citizen a certificate. What I would love to see would be the possibility to issue your own sub-identities that only exhibit as much information as you want/need to share for that specific use case. E.g. if you need to make $20k/yr for a new mobile phone plan, you can issue an identity that makes $20k/yr as long as you make at least that.
I live in New England, and the situation is definitely a little complex. Some factors where I live:

- Firewood is really cheap. My house uses oil for its primary heating, but we supplement with a wood stove because aesthetics and cheap heat.

- A lot of the summer it's not the heat that gets you, more the humidity. We run A/C a lot, but often we could get by with just better dehumidifiers whose waste-heat stayed outside the house.

- Only relatively new houses have central A/C and/or dehumidifiers. Older houses tend to use window-mounted A/C's, which are less efficient and less appealing. Unfortunately retrofitting a house with central A/C can be outside many people's budgets.

- At my latitude, we get enough sunlight to make roof-mounted solar panels worthwhile for many people. But the financial break-even time can be pretty long, and there don't always seem to be government-subsidized low-interest loans to help.

Yes, because instead your program won’t compile if you forget to handle an error ( except in the case of a function which only returns error, which you can ignore by mistake - I would like to see that fixed in go 2 as well).

> Static return types would violated OOP as well if they exposed implementation details unrelated to the result of the operation.

Sure, but neither checked exceptions nor static return types inherently do that.

Bad practices around either can, and bad language design around either can make that more likely. (I honestly think unchecked exceptions are a bigger problem, because they make poor chocies less obvious.)

> If you have a method called GetPrice() that uses a database, you know it, because you have to expose all the possible exceptions.

Only if you are letting them bubbled up as is; you only have to expose exceptions you don't handle, which is equivalent to if you shouldn't expose an exception to a caller, you must handle it, perhaps with a handler which simply throws an exception that is appropriate to expose.

But you can't always pick your providers. Example: You go to emergency room that is in-network. A month later you get the bill for the doctors that treated you - who aren't in-network.

"A new study that looked at more than 2 million emergency department visits found that more than 1 in 5 patients who went to ERs within their health-insurance networks ended up being treated by an "out-of-network" doctor — and thus exposed to additional charges not covered by their insurance plan."

It does not. Redirection from the router involves only TCP and DNS actions. HTTPS does not encrypt TCP. HTTPS is an encrypted tunnel that rides over TCP. HTTPS is a layer 7 protocol while TCP is a layer 4 protocol. You can encrypt TCP as well if you are using IPSEC. IPSEC is built into IPv6 by default, but it fails with NAT over IPv4, which is still most of the internet.

None of that is what HTTPS is for though. The primary function of HTTPS is to prevent HTTP traffic from being sent in the clear so that anybody could read it.

It's better than that, though. He and Udall have spent years talking about mass surveillance and telecoms abuses as major problems, and made very few friends doing so.
