Error handling does obscure the business logic when, as in Go, nearly every operation needs to be followed by a boilerplate guard clause. Other languages (e.g. Java) have solved this problem quite elegantly over a decade ago with the intr

Curious to know why it hurts! It hurts because the claim of conformist media (german: "gleichgeschaltete Medien") is a standard neonazi narrative of the dumbest kind. There is no "coordinated media spin across the EU"

So previously $119 would buy him infinite years. And now $119 buys him a single year. Sounds like a downgrade to me?

It also eliminates the posters ability to provide the hn audience with a useful title. I very much prefer a "snappy, BuzzFeed-like" heading that tells me what the article is about over a meaningless phrase without context.

I'm not sure I follow your examples - you seem to ignore that anything happening inside a conditional that depends on a tainted variable becomes tainted itself. So if you read my cookies and then access the DOM (to trigger a reflow or

Yeah, timing attacks are indeed tricky. Within the call-stack we should probably simply consider all I/O that happens after a tainted variable was accessed to be tainted as well. That and banning trusted extensions from using concurr

Your concern is valid but AFAIK web workers are shared nothing (please correct me if that changed). I think tainting can only be made reliable in a single-threaded environment.
