Filippo Valsorda seems to be happy to ignore the fact that NIST already let an NSA backdoor in, as recently as 2014: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG is he really just going to ignore something from 8 years ago?

came here for this comment. Why in the hell are people combining encryption with UUID? If you are putting any encryption with a primary key, you have failed in some other aspect of your security design. This whole article just screams red f

This kind of insanity is exactly why I don't use stuff like C anymore. It's a landmark and incredible language, but it's chock full of potholes and foot-shotguns (footguns that blow off your entire leg). Even huge companies c

Yeah. You can actually change the behavior, so that the default is to just stay on the blue screen until the user manually reboots. Why someone ever thought automatic reboot was a good idea, or how they haven't bothered to change the d

huh? Node is a JavaScript runtime. Its the "base thing". Its "JavaScript", at least in the sense that we are talking about here. So saying "Node isn't included", doesn't really make sense. When you in

Think about it like this. How would you feel about Go, Rust or Node, removing their package managers from all new versions? Then they make a blog post saying, "we are going to let the rich community handle any future work of developi

I love PHP, it fits that niche of having a fast startup like Perl, while having a big standard library like Python. However after using Go and Rust, I don't like the idea of the package manager being this separate thing (Composer). I

so what is your argument? or do you even have one? The schools seem to want to be able to use race, IN ADDITION to other factors. What is the problem?

False choice. The article is about racial diversity, as is my comment. Economic diversity is important as well. You don't have to have one or the other, you can have both. Unless the school is only admitting one person per year, as in

I think considering race is fine, depending on how you use that information. If you use it to make the group less diverse, that is bad. If you use it to make the group more diverse, that is good. Does that mean that some students with highe
