If they just wanted to do as much damage on the way out as possible they wouldn't be spending so much effort on manifestos, video messages, letters and so on. They wouldn't care about becoming famous. Read the report - there is a

I struggle to understand how 'eliminating' 50% of society because of the actions of less than 0.0000003% makes any sense whatsoever. If you're not trolling, please seek help.

Based on the linked report it is clear that these disturbed individuals see commiting mass killings as a way of getting society in general, their families or objects of obsession to listen to their grievances. (Desire for fame, parting mes

net.Conn needs to cover non-duplex conns like UDP - so it's challenging to add halfclosable methods with reasonable semantics. You can always check for the presence of the CloseWrite method and cast in this case. One trick to unify the

Kind reminder that you probably want to use the hidepid argument to prevent any sensitive data leaking through environment or command line arguments in a production server. (Things like API keys, passwords, and so on). It is a typical bad a

Exactly - which is why I was asking what is the nature of the insider threat risk if someone did not have to guess. In a prod deployment who has the rights to see this info without raising too many flags?

What about the insider risk prospective? A random int64 isn't that hard to guess if you can easily look at a database.

A normal function return is handled directly by the caller, even if the caller decides to completely ignore it. In the case of exceptions it continues to implicitly pop the stack to attempt to find a handler. The explicit vs implicit nature

It is even poorly implemented in such ubiquitous tools as ls. For example if I always want output to be sorted by last modified the _only_ point of configuration is the command line. But I can control colors via either the command line or a

Returning an option sumtype is also typesafe. Exceptions have to walk up the stack until a suitable handler is found, that handler can't know ahead of time where the value is coming from or if it will ever arrive - just what type it wi

Are they worth solving though? Flags at command line time can be equivalent to flags in file from a data perspective. If you work on it they can behave with similar semantics too. If you work even harder you can ensure you deploy the config

What about when an option is present in both the file and the command line? Which one takes precedent? If an option occurs 2x on the command line typically the last one wins. If an option appears 2x in the file does the last one win too? Wi

I recall that folks did analyze this, every server running in production has its flags logged, and every command line tool run on user workstations is also logged. Then it's just a matter of having a registry of every flag (aka the sou

Several drawbacks about config files: + Another artifact to ship and deploy + What file format to use? Obviously different teams will use different formats too. This compounds as you add engineers. + How do you find the initial file? Whiche

I am not a global variable sir, I am a command line flag.

Internally all Google apps have mind bending numbers of command line flags. I believe this drove kernel patches to increase the size of the command line. Yes flag hygiene is a bit of a problem too :)

Just a terminology rant: it is used in -builds- where c99 is not available. Particularly the MSVC ecosystem is identified in TFA as being a late adopter. Once built c99 code can run where it wants.

That sounds like a slightly different problem. Unison looks like any function can transparently cross network boundaries versus the efficient scheduling and dispatching of concurrent rpcs.
