> In this video I present a preliminary answer to the question "Why would anyone write Assembly Language?" by comparing identical minimalist functionality across 13 different languages. I compare Assembly Language, C, C++, Go, Rust, Python, Perl, TCL, Java, PHP, NodeJS, Ruby and Bash.

Bash almost always faster than python, perl, ruby, java etc.


The article is emotional and length so here is TLDR:

There are several methods how your skype account can be disabled permanently by an attacker. Some of them have been known for a long time. Russian social network (vk.com) has tens of groups, consisting mostly of teens, who do so for fun or for money ($30 per account. Author tested one of "services" and it work). Microsoft does not fix these vulnerabilities for many years and recovering account almost imposible (Microsoft's support does not reacts on any evidences and gives formal replies to attack victims)


Picture from article, especially right part (docker > 1.11.0) is that true? [0]

I'm not software architect, but when I see this, it seems to me that something deeply wrong with implementation or with technology itself.

I don't know, it's the natural result of following the Unix philosophy: modularizing the system into multiple processes that do just one thing. I regularly run commands in my shell with more complex architectures (find + xargs + grep + ...).


Exactly. All this Brexit was a farce from the beginning.


Still is.

How is it even possible? They're subject essentialy identical data retention laws. "All telecommunications data in the UK is kept for a minimum of one year and a maximum of two years" [0]

US' and UK' companies are the latest in the list of VPN companies with whom it makes sense to deal.

I think andreygrehov not only one who want to know the answer.


I'm curious too! But I figured I'd post the email so that andreygrehov could get their answer even if dang didn't pop into the thread.


Hey, alien! People of Earth salute you!


But why?! )


Well killing someone and taking it is probably the only way to get one.


Around 25 years. Exactly after USSR ruined.


> Article presents Russian POV.

> For example it states that Kievan Rus was Russian predecesor state, "in what is now Ukraine".

> It's like saying Roman Empire was a French predecessor state in what is now Italy. Not the whole story.

It is a weak comparison. The fact that the Russian state has its roots in Kievan Rus, with the center in Kiev, is not disputed by any Russian historiography (I'm russian historian), neither Ukrainian nor Western. It is the same for Ukraine and Belarus - we all believe that our common roots lie in the Kievan Rus. Therefore, we call each other sister nations.

> Not that it matters much, but it's one of the constantly repeated points of Russian propaganda - that Ukraine is a temporary state with no history.

It is not true. Here are _TON_ of BS from state mass media. But no one, in their right mind, would talk like that.


From my personal experience, there are too many people in Russia who are, according to your last statement, not quite in their right mind...
