   If it was operator error during the development of a Dead-Man's-Switch, the developer will probably come out in public explaining the situation and apologizing. And if this is a Dead-Man's-Switch gone right , why are they advocat

   What about the version 7.2 released? Either the dead man's switch: a) knows how to change the code to make such a version b) is updated often to keep up with the main branch c) was developed recently From that, "a" is wildly

   I think the model of X dollars / Y developers is wrong. When I see a good game being sold by a good price I buy it. I only stop myself if I've spent a large amount recently, which so far only happened during some Steam sales. This

   That's a topic I wouldn't mind seeing on the frontpage even if it was dated from 1928. What I had in mind was more like "Reading the clipboard in Java (2004)" and "Configuring Apache for maximum security (1998)&quot

   What is ECDA? I've not heard of it, search results turn up nothing and I can't think of a good set of words to fill that acronym. And more telling this post is #2 in google for "ECDA crypto" so maybe it is just a typo.

    Unless I'm missing something here, lacking parametrization is not the issue here. The issue is that it's obvious they are saving the password in plaintext instead of hashing it, otherwise the password would never get close to an S

    For source code files I agree completely; but the build system will encounter other types of files that aren't so strict. Maybe you downloaded something and it came with a bracket because that was in the page title. Or you copied a dup

    I think one reason is because Make is built with Shell, which is always one step (and one letter) away from hell. For example: clean: rm -rf *o hello Did you really mean to erase all files and directories that end in &quot

    Python3's '/' operator is different from Python2's '/' operator. This is clear when you try to overload them. Python2's is called '__div__', while Python3's is '__truediv__&#x

    It could work, but can you imagine the extra complexity for the interpreter? It would require extensive type conversions every time an object passes the version barrier, and all the Python3 libraries' classes would have to be backporte

    I disagree. A strong type system is good, but in this case pragmatism wins the battle. I personally have been bitten innumerous times by bugs where division was rounded down (usually to 0, which is especially destructive). Most of the numbe

    It's not possible to determine the language. The extensions are the same and much of the syntax hasn't changed, and many of the backwards-incompatible differences are subtle. Python2: print(1/2 * 1000) # 0 print(

    PKI is the worst form of authentication, except for all the others. I like to design secure protocols for fun, and they all inevitably converge into a PKI when you start adding the non-trivial required features. It's incredibly frustat

    A little late, but I think the reply is worth it. `[]` is for discrete elements. That's perfect for a tile game. My idea with `@` is a sort of collision detection for continuous maps. `map @ (115.2, 23.5)` should return the object unde

    Thanks. I understand its importance to scientific computing and I welcome the change. I was just wondering if matrix multiplication had more flexible uses, like `sum` does. And the benefit of overloading is still readability, when carefully

    I honestly didn't expect a downvote for calling Python a "scripting language". I use the term loosely and always thought Python fit spot on. I still think it applies here, but I've edited the parent post to correct this

    I think "Matrix Multiplication" is a little too specific for a syntax change, but I welcome the addition of a new operator to be overloaded. Am I missing some useful applications of matrix multiplication on a general purpose langu
