Oh. So I get it is a joke, I just don't get why it is a joke. I program daily in Go and everytime I read about buffer overflows and a dozen other preventable security holes I'm glad I'm programming in Go.
But maybe this joke is only funny to those who enjoy programming in C? :)
- masklinn 10y agoDoesn't seem to be a joke, the "meeting" was week-long and lasted from the 22nd to the 27th: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2017Amsterdam https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2... It's just the ML recap mail which hit a rather poor timing.
- kbenson 10y agoThe email was time stamped as being prior to April 1st UTC, so it's actually less an issue of the recap email being poorly times and more an issue of the post to HN being during a confusing time period.
- Gaelan 10y agoI mean, the post could have been posted on April 1. We don't know that it was posted from a UTC area.
- masklinn 10y agoI believe Sebastian is German (or possibly Austrian), I think the CET date change was last week so we're in CEST (UTC+2) which means it was posted at 30 to midnight local, close enough that it could be just in time for April 1st local.
