Firefox messed up big time with their flagship plugin with their last updates... not sure why.

You never have more than 5 tabs open at the same time? You’re probably the minority and you probably have learned to do that because the tabs on top put these constraints on you. You would likely browse the web very differently if you had T

This is a US answer only. Other countries might have different laws.

I’m pretty sure it’s not orthogonal. The goal is to replace both of these languages in the next 10+ years.

I don’t understand how people browse the web without this extension. That’s the number one reason chrome is not usable for power users. I’m also wondering why this is not natively supported by both firefox and chrome.

Why not teach rust?

The OS does initialize it, so if you’re writing code for linux in any languages, or even in assembly, you won’t be able to spy on that retrieved memory. Now C might want to do it too, but bare metal stuff is not necessarily compliant C so t

Good point as well. Sometimes a SQL injection will go right through this kind of Transparent Database Encryption.

I've seen employees demonstrating every day for months in front of the Marriott in San Francisco. Didn't think they were doing that good.

Ok so I know a thing or two about that: 1. Most companies, even large ones, do not encrypt everything. Some do, usually because they have to according to some regulation of the space they operate in (HIPAA for example). 2. Passport numbers

Mmm... I'm subscribed to Netflix, to kurzgesagt on Patreon and to duchinese and wordswing on the app store just because I support them. It's 50$/month and I think that's a fine amount to spend if you have the money in or

Better: not being paid enough is a sufficient condition, but it is not required. Of course rich people can have such problem, but if you think low wages and the lack of universal health care and free education is not the main issue you are

This has nothing to do with what I'm saying. You obviously write code without thinking about people reading it later. It doesn't matter if the reader knows a[i++] and a[++i]. What matters is that you can easily make a mistake here

The problem is that a lot of C devs have been coding in C and only in C all their lives. They cannot accept that people coming from other languages want to be able to read their code, or that a security audit needs to be done over thousands

Because a = b[++i] means something different. It's a dense and unecessary shortcut.

Why not? It's char as in character.

Remember. Don't write stuff like a = b[i++] or a ^ c | d or use all these ambiguous C specific tricks that make it harder for everyone to read your code.

Same here, hated highschool, flunked, skipped more classes that I can remember, ended up living abroad for a year in order to fix myself.

There's definitely way more walking since there is no "car culture" like in the US. I've heard that olive oil plays a big role as well.

I have no idea what python implementation you're talking about. Concepts behind cryptocurrencies are most often not hard, but there are a million implementation details to consider if you want to write a production ready client
