Would you suggest the same course of action for any language which uses exceptions? Because there is nothing special about the stack unwinding you get with panic/recover. I'm seriously wondering if you ran into any trouble with re

Interesting terms. I've never came across them in my linguistic study, but I see they were heavily employed by C.F. Hockett, so that might be less exposure to American Structuralism. I want to make a small correction here. Israel is a

Much of the world is still using C and C++, where every piece of memory has ownership and lifetime. Yes, they don't enforce you to properly specify and transfer ownership semantics at compile time with the borrow checker (although you

To be entirely accurate, you're wrong when you say your definition of OOP is the original one. SIMULA-67 predates Smalltalk and its object system is much closer to Java than it is to Smalltalk, although it helped inspire both. To be mo

That's one of the main touted benefits of containers (a.k.a build reproducibility). You can view containers as a an overly complicated way to make software with complicated deployment brain-dead easy to deploy. We're at the point

You're talking about Blink. Chromium is not a rendering engine, but a full browser. Chrome is just chromium with branded assets and a few proprietary features that link it to Google Services. It was first released in 2008, only 3 years

I think a chainsaw is a better description. On the surface C gives you very fine control over memory, but it's so full of pitfalls that it takes a lot of skill to actually use it properly. When we put security into the equation, what y

Go is incapable of ever achieving C like speeds, and that's not because of runtime safety checks like bounds checking. It's because Go still has a garbage collector, and that always comes with a price tag. Go also often has to cop

I can think of at least 3 reasons for not using CMS/PKCS #7: 1. CMS is using ASN.1 as others have mentioned. That alone is a deal-breaker and a major reason CMS implementation are hard, uncommon, and ever-so-slightly incompatible. 2. C

Programming languages have gradually evolved into higher levels of abstraction, but they haven't consistently become more humanlike. You can't fully understand human language with anything short of Strong AI. And yes, we made some

Or better yet, upgrade our phone system to bleeding-edge high-fidelity CD quality with 44.1khz and 16 bits. It's not a natural law that phone audio quality has to suck.

More than just lack of competition, cost-cutting measures or planned obsolescence - I think this also has to do with what marketing. Consumers will buy devices that feel attractive. Shiny touch screens sell. Shiny plastic sells. Over-the-to

Probably not. As someone who finds Go cringeworthy, I still find it extremely useful for certain types of programs. I write far simpler Microservices in Go, and I don't feel stupid. It's pretty rough and boring tool, and using it

I think Pandoc can count as an example here - it may be a niche product, but it's well known in its niche, and it's arguably the most powerful document markup format converter out there. And it's all Haskell.

Japanese actually has a confusing array of conditional constructions VERB (conjugated) + nara (or the ridiculously formal "naraba") VERB (conjugated) + some noun, such as baai (case) VERB (plain form) + to VERB (izenkei

I have to enter a caveat here though. Spoken Japanese is a little bit different, and in some cases, arguments will follow the verb. It's pretty rare, but I did hear things like "Dou sureba ii ore" or "nani yatteru omae&q

Yes, informal standards, but that's exactly the problem. At my previous work, I've implemented something similar to Fernet in the past (though using AES-GCM rather than AES-CBC+HMAC), and that's dead simple. But it's not

You should also make sure to allow only tokens with the "HS256" alg headers before you verify them, in case somebody decides to add a new signature algorithm to your library, and it turns out it could easily be broken and lets you

Symmetric signature is simpler, leaner (in message size overhead), faster and more secure (by virtue of it being simpler). But there are still cases where you would choose asymmetric signatures over symmetric signature, due to the very esse

Agreed, but is there a better standard ? I'm also fine with just stuffing MsgPack or Cap'n Proto data inside a libsodium secretbox or usually just crypto_auth to be honest, but corporates love standard. Perhaps libsodium algorith

JWT are even smaller than their size since you can revoke them by hash (although you should really just revoke by user ID in most cases). Your tokens should generally have a rather short lifetime - then you can keep the entire relevant wind
