This is hilarious. I mean, relying on external libraries aside, just look at the readability and intuitiveness of the native syntax by comparison. It's not even close .

Compiler author here. Overall cool post. I have nitpicks and opinions. Don't let me stop you, but consider what I have to say. "There are two major types of languages, compiled and interpreted." Well, no. There are two types

Would you consider making your addon code available? I am very interested in this.

As somebody who would like to move to capability-safe languages, I think that moving to memory-safe languages is a necessary first step. You don't have to move to Rust, but you do have to move away from C.

You only think that there is an objective reality, and others may think differently. Thus, even if there is an objective reality, facts are nonetheless subjective because the actual basis for believing in facts is subjective. If you like

Nix is more than an attempt. It is a success. It has demonstrated that POLA is worthwhile for package management.

This is false. EME describes only the interface between the Javascript environment and the CDM. It says nothing about the CDM's interface with the browser code, which is the heart of the issue.

A standard _allows_ for uniformity, the only barriers are technical. CDM providers are actively _preventing_ uniformity. There is a massive difference.

The 'Open Web' means "My browser can access ANY AND ALL CONTENT on the Web given that it supports the necessary standards." This DRM implementation would add this suffix: "and any number of third parties have chosen

What you're missing is that passwords don't require blobs. The ContentDecryptionModules used for DRM on the Web are blobs. For a browser to run a blob, there needs to be an interface between the browser and the blob. Flash and S

I feel that you are mischaracterizing us. Anybody who wants to learn Lojban can start with https://mw.lojban.org/papri/la_karda and come to #ckule on Freenode IRC. It takes a weekend to learn surface syntax and 2 to 3

To expound on this: It's nearly unconscionable for a security-oriented site to mandate JS for basic functionality. There were no alternatives provided, the noscript blurb did not offer a list of domains which were serving the JS, there

"It's just business" is not a reasonable ethical framework. I suspect that you know this already.

Your employer, of course, is Google; I know this from my own tussles with Google's OSPO, which exists primarily to ensure that engineers don't have lives outside of Google.

I learned Go in the manner which you describe. It's still a disappointing language. I don't understand the powerful Stockholm Syndrome which appears to grip most Gophers. For example, compared to MRI, Go has better GC and executio

Okay, I'll compare and contrast with my own expectations. First, "simply secure" to me means adopting a capability-security model. CMS Airship unfortunately appears to not be capability-based. On the other hand, there's

It's interesting that they use the word "capability" here. These kinds of single-shot values show up in the capability-theory literature occasionally. I suspect that linear types might be equivalent in structural power to the

Exactly, Facebook is not a cause to be dealt with: it is an effect of those who are willing to use it. Very few of them can be swayed by articles such as this one. They simply have NO INTEREST in the possible consequences. This inter

You only found the pseudocode readable because you know Python and don't know maths notation. It's not unreasonable to have to learn maths notation in order to read maths papers and blogs. You aren't exceptionally lazy. You a

Unless I missed something, none of these are capability-safe designs, whereas Sandstorm is capability-safe on the wire up to the edge of Capn Proto.

In Tahoe-LAFS, it is actually a proven truth that, up to the level of cryptographic unguessability, server operators cannot read stored files without knowing the client-side key. If you can prove otherwise, then you can earn a spot in the
