KF has a responsibility to abide by the law. By extension, it has a responsibility to ensure its users do not use it to break the law. I support KF's right to exist, but not in this state.

WMF's "operations costs" that don't count as salaries are probably basically just the costs of server hosting etc. They don't do charity work like prototypical non-profits.

This guy is an excellent communicator. For a modern HN audience an explanation of virtual memory paging is not exactly necessary, but he does a great job of it and I'm sure this video would be really interesting for a much more general

If that 2-way encryption key is stored separately to the database (e.g. only the web server has it, not the database server), it certainly helps reduce the risk that the emails are compromised.

This is a good idea in theory but in practice it looks pretty scammish, or, at least, not reliable. The website has none of the typical obnoxious financial disclaimers, which makes it look very amateurish. It does not appear to be registere

If I create a new type of leather wallet and then North Korea uses it for money laundering, can I be charged for "facilitation"? What about if I discovered electricity, which lead to money laundering? Where is the line here, and w

Some compilers do indeed use a stack-based IR (which is a concatenative system). Also mentioned in the blog post are JVM and CPython bytecode. More common, though, is Static Single Assignment.

Evaluation order is somewhat "dependency driven" in Haskell for pure functions, because it uses lazy evaluation. But in this case the code here is basically generating a list of "instructions" for the Haskell runtime, li
