True, on the other hand, go will take care of that to some extend and terminate if all go routines have been deadlocked. Which means well-designed services will remain available even if only with degraded performance.

This is why types are nice. In Javascript you're not ensured to have an error, your program might continue working based on wrong data because some type has been randomly converted to a float. In Go or C# you'd get an overflow err

You seem to assume that A) Types are low level B) C++ and C are the only competition to JavaScript C) Not having to worry about types makes you faster or in any way better A) is simply refuted by looking at java or SQL. SQL is a very high-l

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. I don't care enough about US politics to know for sure or assume that you're assertions are correct. Anyways, the point was not what Trump does, it's almost irrelevant. Releva

The problem is that even if the number of bits on the fingerprint shrink, you're also lowering the selection size. It's a tradeoff, you can overdo it and certainly end up less anonymous than before. A bigger fingerprint might make

Or Thiel might think that Hillary is a worse option than Trump? Maybe. Who knows. You should ask him. Pretending to know why he votes for Trump is just wrong. You assume what he thinks, his state of mind, etc. Idunno, maybe you should consi

I'm going to assume that your assumption was wrong, merely because nothing has ever stopped a node.js dev from telling the world that javascript is all you need.

I don't find either to be a very attractive alternative, Common Lisp just has that kind of ... air around it. Although I admit that Clojure is a decent language.

I think we should go back to LISP/Scheme, the only language that supports whatever you want, how you want it and when you want it while still being functional. Tho admittedly, most LISP libraries tend to strive for the same age as LISP

I recommend you check out CockroachDB. They're approach is to use a Key-Value DB to build a linear-scaling PostgreSQL-like Database. Personally, I'm just waiting for that to become a bit more stable, but it's probably the mos

IMO validating in the DB also makes code faster. When I get data from a well validated DB, I don't have to check that it is valid or has certain formats, that is ensured by the DB. I can remove checks from the entire CRUD stack, if it&

Totally agree. I've wet my toes with NoSQL systems but things like MongoDB just look like trouble waiting to happen. On the other hand, SQL makes it hard to maintain the state definition, I had to develop a mechanism to upgrade the DB

I'd advise against using this guide. The DSA key recommendation is terrible, either go 4096 RSA or Ed25519/Curve25519. Secondly, use whatever keyring manager your distro has available and that supports your keys and is nice to use

I agree with ASN.1 and X.509. Those two are part of my plaintext-offenders list, like SMTP. They make life equally painful for both man and machine.
