Runterwählen ist kein Gegenargument.

  • There is no difference other than a shiny logo and a “contract” that promises you that the random stranger will take care. I promise that I will take care too.

    If you still think there is a relevant difference, please tell me. To me, it looks like you don’t fully understand what a password manager stored on other people’s computers does.

  • A cloud password manager is a database with your passwords hosted on a stranger’s computer. Why wouldn’t I be just as trustworthy as any other stranger on the internet?

  • IRC.

  • My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

    Would you give me your password database? I promise to encrypt it!

  • I actually like mirrors.

  • Finally, the Any key!

  • So? Is anyone who can’t afford one legally obliged to have a website?

  • Why do you think a web browser needs to make money?

  • Creators and journalists need money to survive, and currently, ad-supported viewing is necessary for that to happen.

    The only way out of this is to block advertising. I, personally, think that you should not have a website if you can't pay for it yourself, but the only acceptable kind of website income is a paywall. If you just have "better advertising", advertising will never go away. And I hate ads.

  • Windows

  • Open source, not free software.

  • That's the blog's logo.

  • Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

  • If the comparison would consider Harris's previous work when she was still a lawyer, the differences between her and Trump would be even smaller.

  • You can make embarrassing mistakes in virtually any programming language that's not too esoteric.

    When I still used Python for prototyping (today, I usually use Go for that), it happened much too often that I did this:

     python
        
    if foo:
        bar()
       foobar() # syntax error
    
      

    In Lisp, however, both errors are much harder to make (not even considering GNU Emacs's superb auto-indentation - which is what most Lispers use these days, as far as I know):

     lisp
        
    (when foo)  ;; <- obvious!
        (bar))
    
      

     lisp
        
    (when foo
        (bar)
              (foobar)  ;; <- still valid
    (quux))  ;; <- also still valid
    
      
  • Dynamic typing is the source of very amazing errors, see JavaScript.

  • Feel free, it’s still out there!

  • I still write more Perl than Python these days.

  • Still easier to refactor than Python. ;-)

  • For all of those, Lisp is the more logical choice. Plus, whitespace as syntax is the worst possible design decision.
