Perfect software-hardware interaction, but the build quality is horrible. My laptop has a hard shut down once a week presumably because something power-related is loose. The screen also gets scratched against the base when closed.

It would be great if you could talk in more specifics about attack scenarios against local storage. In particular one attack cited in favor of cookies is the scenario where your 3rd party CDN js hacked and some code is inserted into the JS

MyPy works surprisingly well once you add this in a few places: # type: ignore The (now documented) --silence-imports option will remove the most frequent use for ignoring types though. This project is very similar to TypeScript or Flow and

Great news! I still don't understand why HyperDex (which has similarities in design and goals) has existed for years and nobody seems to know about it. Is this because it doesn't support SQL? http://hyperdex.org/

Yes, there is still an issue with async exceptions when there is an exception during the cleanup handler of bracket. Probably this has not received the attention it deserves because fundamentally if a cleanup handler throws an exception you

Haskell has killThread, which rather than being an anti-pattern is often used as an effective way to accurately enforce a timeout on a thread. This functionality seems like it would be very difficult to achieve with most other runtimes. ht

Yes. In Haskell you use `killThread` which throws an asynchronous exception to the thread. It is certainly difficult to perfectly cleanup resources in the face of asynchronous exceptions. However, once there are functions available to help

Send + Sync are great. The downside of concurrency in Rust is: 1) There isn't transparent integration with IO in the runtime as in Go or Haskell. Rust probably won't ever do this because although such a model scales well in genera

That study that the news article links to is pretty weak: there is no control and they only did a single baseline assessment of yoghurt consumption. Whereas some of the articles on outcomes referenced in the article are review articles. But

I have done functional programming (FP) with Haskell (including professionally) for years, and I think this notion is misguided. One of the core principles of FP is about state. However, I believe it is to think very carefully about state a

This has been proposed, and it is still a good idea if one wants to make Haskell accessible to OO programers. It would require the function composition dot to have spaces around it, which is already fairly standard practice. However, just a
