I'd be interested to hear why you were downvoted. Maybe lambda refers to arrow functions rather than convention 'function' functions?

You give rights to people who offer money, not to people who offer goods and services. Why? Also: what happens when both parties are offering money (e.g. currency exchange)? Can both of them choose who to transact with? And if neither party

Why? I can't imagine why your view of utopia requires that people with money get to choose who they transact with but people with goods and services must transact with anyone who has money. Can you explain why that's fair or equit

That doesn't follow. If I (an individual) start a web host (a company) and the KKK (an organization) wants to pay me money, why shouldn't I have the right to say no? I'd prefer we had 'freedom from coercion to provide se

I think the difference is in the visibility of dependency hell, not the existence of it.

Nice! I'm on Arch, but I was under the impression that Debian did the same thing for Node/Haskell modules. Or am I mistaken?

Why do you believe that private companies should be coerced into hosting content they disagree with? Seems rather dystopian and authoritarian to me.

The spec leaves that up to the implementation: https://console.spec.whatwg.org/#log Node does some custom fanciness, but Object.prototype.toString() is equally correct.

That's the point though: you should only need one package manager.

As a US resideny, I'd rather have Sweden able to introspect my traffic rather than the US.

I'm not the author of Lodash. You should take a look at the API, you'll quickly notice that it's not a for loop library: https://lodash.com/docs/#cloneDeep Some of these functions have been added to Java

Do you think that people with autism don't have emotions? I'm trying to understand your comment but I'm having a hard time coming up with a generous interpretation.

> lodash vs for loop One of these things is not like the other! Lodash is a library if JS idioms that can't be neatly expressed in simple constructs like for loops. JS as a language is often difficult to work with because it lacks

Welcome to HN! Gentle nudge to take a look at the HN etiquette guide. Your comment sticks out in a very negative way, and hurts the culture we want to foster.

That depends how you measure costs. As a human, working for a for-profit tech company for 8 hours coats approximately the same amount of energy / effort as volunteering for a non-profit tech company, but it costs the organization vastl

...right, because Git doesn't use CRDTs. Those example point to where Git has state/operations, not where Git uses CRDTs (because it doesn't).

This was a great read, thanks for posting.

Git examples: - Commits provide the state of each file at that snapshot. - Diffs (patches) provide a minimal operation to move from one FS state to another.

Big +1. I found a small bug in a GSA site (plainlanguage.gov) and was able to PR a fix that was merged almost immediately. It's a shame that we can't do the same with all of the bugs in other government websites.

The word 'enhanced' in the context of cryptography just means 'modified', and modifications to security-critical algorithms are considered unsafe unless proven safe. AES-GCM refers to a specific set of trade-offs. How do

I'm also very curious about this. AES-GCM satisfies my threat model, "enhanced" does not.
