Security is a cost/benefit decision, not a binary one. More security costs more. Putting the drivers licenses and bank details of employees in the same database as the credit cards and names of customers is cheaper than putting them on

No. I'm saying when your application language is also your database or your operating environment [or for some other reasons], you don't need a configuration format. The reason configuration file [formats] exist is because many

Ok, I'll give it a shot. Smalltalk environments don't typically have "configuration files" because it's so much easier to just directly manipulate the configuration parameter. Interactive development- the kind impos

Not to my knowledge. There are a fair number of documents[1] describing the language to be sure, but it is difficult to divorce K from its implementation(s), so k2, k3, k4, k5 (etc) are all different languages. Your best bet is to download

It may be better than nothing, but it's far from a sure thing: If you can BGP announce an IP, you can get a certificate from letsencrypt. This is a trivial attack vector not just for state-actors, but also stupid kids: in the early 200

A certain amount of that is certainly tongue-in-cheek. I think if you compare a $20 wine in California to a €10 wine you buy somewhere along the Garonne, you're probably going to enjoy the French wine more. But we're talking about

Not sure I agree with the analysis, at least on France. France's top exports to the US are aircraft parts and beverages (wine). Since the US needs those parts to export the (assembled) planes, I think the aircraft lobby (e.g. Boeing) w
