Docker but not just throwing in a container and calling it a day we use the user namespaces, seccomp etc. On top of that the machines running the code are completely disconnected (different cloud) from any user data etc.

True. Happened a few years ago with a Jordanian PhD candidate on the eve of his PhD defense. Here is the HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5867829 It looks like he was later granted entrance. So maybe the

I agree with most of what you said but you're conflating languages and platforms. JavaScript as a language says and does nothing about sandboxing. It's the browser that does that. It doesn't even specify anything about concur

The ban on Iranians has nothing to do with terrorism. I might be wrong but I don't think there are any real Shiite terror group. And yes I don't think it's fitting to call Hazbollah as a terrorist group -- the same label that

This is a great read. But left me thinking I'm missing in the fundamentals. Can you recommend a book (or other posts) on statistics fundementals for programmers?
