It's a good practice to have a way to compare objects anyway, and it should be standardized, like __hash__ in Python or hashCode in Java. Even a basic comparison between two nested arrays is work in JS, so we need articles like this fo

Thanks a lot for the raw honesty.

I have two conflicting stereotypes: on one hand I assumed people spending that much on mobile games would be uneducated, on the other hand I also assume people on HN are more educated than average. Thanks for making me coming out of it. So,

We can't know how many, but we know it's possible. For e-vote, i'm not sure it's possible. Hell, i can't tell with certainty my own laptop is clean.

In your example it worked: a volunteer pointed it out. The volunteer probably would not have been able to with e-vote. Who has the skill to be able to assess such a system ? And among those, who has the time ? I've been a programmer fo

I believe the most amazing feature of JS is the ability to make their devs think they got it all figured out. > Python relatively recently added typing[0] The typescript compiler and the mypy type checker both appeared in 2012. Function

Cooperative multi-tasking if terrible is you don't have control over what the others are doing, but in your program you generally do. It also have the benefit of making concurrent access much easier to reason about without having to re

I agree, and the docs got better too. In 3.7, asyncio is usable for people that don't understand it very well. Before that, you had to learn the whole thing brick by brick before being able to do something serious. Yet, there is a miss

Ah the stuff used for the password ? I would be more of a fan of something like marshmallow, checking the whole thing.

What does it look like ?

Now that you say it, it's true I didn't have problems with too much power. I never had an untrusted party editing my config, nor did I use data from any. Also, you can make the same mistakes in the setting file that in any code fi

Nobody lives in a vacuum, and there are many reasons for not being able to choose the techs you will have to work with. In fact, the main reason is that there is no current other client side web language than Javascript. We don't use J

Actually, I think settings.py is not a bad idea, but it's half backed. There should have a schema checking the setting file. There should have a better way to extend settings, and make different settings according to context, such as p

I find it amazing we have to repeat this again and again. People act like this never happened. I'm really wondering what's the cognitive mechanism that allows people to just discard enormous informations like this one.

There are several possible situations: - the django like situation: the configuration is pure code, and it's a mistake. It was not necessary, it brought plenty of problems. I wish they went with a templated toml file. - the ansible lik

Fuzzing is effective for more than finding memory related bugs. Parsing related crashed, code injection, unexpected state machine path can all also be revealed. Beside, as much I agree with the benefits of a memory safe language, and I do b

Maturing is good. Marketting beta products as solutions to the problems you have right now isn't. This problem doesn't exist in the PHP, Python or Ruby communities. We get incremental improvements, sometimes a few innovative conte

Agreed. Or vue. All in all, reactive programming is easier, because it doesn't require you to make all the plumping to get running water.

We agree on the fact it's a hard problem and i don't label react as a bad product. Plus, it's a necessary one given the way the internet is evolving.
