I got this: Your boundary is at hue 173, greener than 57% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

So, how much slower is it than running js?

If you want security, use a secure OS. But it's not so easy, often decisions are made not to have the best technical solution, but to fulfill business agreements.

It only gets worse when the company that published their environment variables sues the security researchers for finding it. It happens.

It's an engineering challenge and they do solve a problem, it's just not your problem :) It's a nice read anyways.

You probably had to compile libsodium and build a shared object. That can take a long time. But the scripts that run when npm installing modules can contain malicious payload, yes.

I always try to find something that runs in web-assembly, but it's better to avoid nodejs altogether if you want high security. Go is much better for these kind of things overall.

Intel. Mainly for journalists about pedos or terrorists.

I'm not quite sure OPs approach is the best tho, serverless is just somebody else's server.

Better to use something like Onionshare and run it on a device on-premise then transfer the files to an air gapped device for decryption.

Sperm count might not be dropping but the behavioral sink we are in definitely causes men to have a reduced sex drive.

They could do an anti-institution hard fork, that adds a built in mixer that would be illegal for institutions to use.

Then the network will hard fork and we will have SETH (the sell-out ether) and regular good ole ETH.

It's up to Vitalik now to determine our fate , let's destroy em from the inside.

It's not a move from the ecosystem, it's an attack against the ecosystem.

Contrary to BTC, ETH is not deflationary if it's not traded on chain. The deflation comes from the burn mechanism.

So concentrating ETH in ETFs would decrease the price over time due to inflation since the ETH is traded without transferring it.

"weak stdlib": You can use the Java ecosystem, most of the things you need are there

"it can be very hard to follow": I agree, if you are not a lisp developer it's really hard, but if you develop clojure everyday, it's as easy as anything else.

The answer is usually clean code when it comes to clojure. Keep your functions small.

"more memory intensive, and generally slower": yep, the JVM is more memory intensive than Go. No surprise there and Clojure adds up on top of that. Startup times are pretty slow too. But compared to python it's still fast. Apples to oranges.

I would say Clojure and Go are both great languages that tackle different problems so it's not a fair comparison.

It's not XSS if it's not cross-site.

Yeah, also the complete ruin of the internet. I don't want to read generated content. Feed that back to AI and you got a ruined internet and AI can't even learn anymore.

Yes because people are stupid and vulnerable and will believe things a computer tells them. They can make life decisions on chatGPT advice, instead of asking friends or family. Heck maybe they don't have family, vulnerable people like that can be exploited with convincing chatbots easily.
