How can one not have a whole giant mountain of cynicism with all we've become aware of in the last few years? We could just as easily turn the tables and call you irresponsibly naive.
While I get where you're coming from with cynicism, any deployment of chemical weapons by a belligerent is almost certainly a war crime under several international accords, most notably the Geneva Protocol[0]. As someone upthread pointed out, their production is also the subject of several more. All the NSA/CIA disclosures we've seen thus far are not, themselves, war crimes. The international community, with some exceptions, came to the consensus that chemical weapons are not a good thing about a century ago, while offensive hacking is a much more recent development (obviously) and basically the wild west right now. Comparing chemical weapons to offensive hacking simply because they're both big government naughties is disingenuous, to say the least.
My bar of cynicism is a little higher when you're talking about the United States discretely stockpiling mustard gas versus taking down a smartphone, you know? (Maybe I, too, am irresponsibly naive.)
Ah, yes, war crimes.
The US definitely fears those, and would absolutely never shoot on POWs, rape civilians, commit mass murder, drop chemical weapons on fighters and civilians indiscriminately, use multiple atomic bombs on civilians, torture, etc. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes)
They are so terribly afraid of committing war crimes they do not recognize the International Crime Court and are reading to invade any country trying an american soldier.
All I said was my cynicism bar is a little higher for war crimes as opposed to hacking a phone, or capturing email. That's it. Not trying to argue or state any position or claim beyond that.
I feel equally as bad that this person has been fed a narrative and hasn't gone out to debunk the propaganda and find out what is really going on behind the curtain. We can have a disagreement, sure, but when the argument is just shouting "sexist, racist, homophobe, xenophobe", etc. it's clear there's no real political discourse to be had, which is sad because there's a boatload of disgusting politics and corruption being exposed right now.
I build processor integrations and am working on several new ones now for EMV. I can confirm Square's pricing is ridiculous compared to what's out there. Bear in mind there are only like 6 companies in the US that actually process cards, but there are several thousand payment processing companies who are all taking a slice.
http://datpiff.com is another good source for mixtapes, but it's cool that he took the time to clean these up, catalog them and throw them up on the archive.
> I think a testing library can be a great addition, since it can turn a three-line if check into a one-line assertion.
Totally concur with this. I feel like all these people complaining about "bloated test frameworks" either haven't written a lot of tests, or are just fine with repeating themselves in test code, or they end up writing their own version of a test framework anew in every project. So much simpler and sane to grab an off the shelf solution for test code.
Here's another one that needs to get fixed with Atom. Try writing this in the editor with syntax set to Go:
expected
func someFunc() {
aSlice := []string{}{
}
}
actual
func someFunc() {
aSlice := []string{}{
}
}
The end bracket on the slice's initializer never indents correctly when you type it and hit <enter>. It always defaults to the first character of the next line. It seems insertNewLine somehow is not able to grok the idea of more than one set of matching brackets.
Thanks for the tip -- yea, I have go-plus installed. It is helpful, but still isn't ideal to have to save the file in the middle of trying to initialize a slice.
