Philosophically, sure, but this is a straw man argument.

The practicalities and cost of putting cameras in every room then monitoring them are clearly absurd, so it undermines your case.

An APL is a very compact programming language, from Wikipedia:

> APL (named after the book A Programming Language)[2] is a programming language developed in the 1960s by Kenneth E. Iverson. Its central datatype is the multidimensional array. It uses a large range of special graphic symbols[3] to represent most functions and operators, leading to very concise code.

Took me some time to realise what I was even reading about, let alone the content!

I’d suggest that running a vulnerable production service is asking for trouble!

My web logs are full of automated scanners. Once when I ran a vulnerable version of Wordpress it got discovered and pwned very quickly. No need to enter the URL in any website ;)

The first URL I entered (coop.co.uk) was actually pretty awesome, it detected Varnish and showed a critical CVE from last week. That’s cool.

I hope that if you subscribe, the site regularly rescans your stack and realised if it’s changed. Otherwise it’s just a mailing list subscription that becomes out of date and therefore not useful.

This site immediately presented an alert dialog with a single button “OK” which, when pressed, redirected me to some shitty spam site saying I’d won something.

Agreed:

“argumentation”, “pro & contra lists”, “dialectical relations” “premise-conclusion structures

..all appear within the first 100 words and I don’t know what any of them mean. I’m a a native English speaker with a technical education and I am lost!

Is the site aimed at some profession where these words are commonly used?!

Not sure exactly how but I’ve mostly avoided places where being an asshole is acceptable. This could be to do with actively avoiding bro-fest type places, looking for high-impact rather than high-pay kind of work, but I can’t really take credit.

Separately, I’m quite shocked reading this HN thread seeing people defending the behaviour the article describes. I suddenly feel like I don’t really know the tech industry at all!

What sort of road building / improving did you have in mind?

We’re talking about city centre slow (<12mph) driving, I’m really not sure what road improvements could improve safety of silent cars?

I know the folks behind this and I think they’ve approached it thoughtfully and realistically.

It’s using a modern OpenPGP implementation and language (Sequoia, Rust) which is a big win. Despite it being centralised, I’d encourage folks to have a look.

On that issue, SKS has become so troublesome to run that the number of peers has steadily decreased to the point where there are only 2 entities running the HKPS (“secure”) pool, so in reality SKS is centralised too, as well as unmaintained. Source: I run a key server and a key expiry reminder service.

Keen to get folks' feedback on this. I'm all ears! Here or privately, I'm paul at fluidkeys dot com.
