This sounds like a tantrum. Without knowing any of the facts (or being a US citizen, so not taking sides), Glenn's story seems more credible.

It's those pushing programming who need to answer why it's so much better, since the Excel approach does seem to work for large numbers of people.

Underrated comment. For those not from the UK, "leaves on the line" is their #1 excuse for late-running trains.

It looks awesome, and very necessary. But isn't it sad that we've got to the point that so much effort - and a whole industry - has to go into this very meta side of work, time that is not spent doing something that actually produ

Cool, very interesting! That just convinces me even more that it's better to leave the OS out of it and let each language's runtime figure out its own way of serializing its state and restoring it for a second invocation.

You have at least convinced me that anyone using it would need to know very well what they are doing and what is going to happen behind the scenes. And that it's better suited to the higher-level languages (node, ruby family) rather th

Yes, that is along the lines I'm thinking, but for processes rather than web requests. I don't know enough about Arc to know if the server still has everything in memory between requests or not, and if it would survive a server re

An easier solution would be to add getpid to the list of things the compiler won't allow to be on both sides of the await offline, along with file handles and open sockets. Perhaps one approach would be to have the compiler split the p

Not to mention Widevine, which every new browser or Chromium fork effectively needs to license from Google. If the regulators forget about that one that would be a big omission.

Sometimes there are advantages to centralized DNS. Wouldn't this make taking down botnets' c&c servers that much harder? I suppose there could be a blacklist that gets periodically downloaded by the OS. But then you're ba

Yes, it is a risk. But the fears of a conflict of interest are real. What's to stop you giving favourable treatment to the customer at a cost to your own company (though not to you personally)? In a case where reassignment isn't

And this isn't about needing permission. Obviously they can't stop anyone. But they can make sure they're not directly working with someone that could lead to a conflict of interest. I think the worst that would happen is tha

I think they're doing this as a marketing move for the developer community, rather than in any real hope that people will use it. Trying to shore up their geek image. Not that I think that's a bad idea on their part. I do think th

I do like the idea of the celebratory animation. It is a big deal to have completed the process, and one you're only likely to do once every several years. But I wonder if they thought about the effect of the flashing lights on someo

The trouble is that opens another attack vector. This story[1] (previously discussed on HN[2]) comes to the opposite conclusion. Who is right? Is there a consensus in the security community? [1] https://medium.com/@N/ho
