Why don't we just illustrate the problem using the code from the article? https://jsfiddle.net/q59Ljeu7/ A loop is not just fewer LoC and easier, it is orders of magnitude faster than the ycombinator decoupled tra

Going out to main memory is orders of magnitude slower than hitting cache. Even a stack overflow would be preferable to debug vs an out of memory error. At least with the stack overflow, the stack trace pinpoints the problem. Like I said, I

So we start out with an attempt to build an anonymous recursive function. That's cool I suppose. But doing it in a language like javascript (or java)? It turns out that tail recursion == stack overflow. Not daunted, the plucky author d

I find it unsettling that Silicon Valley employees would rather see a foreign nation win the race to build autonomous killing machines. It's not just the open contempt they have for their own countrymen, but it seems borderline suicida

Blame the judge for the laws congress passed. Blame the congress for the law the executive misused. Blame the executive for misleading the fisa judges. It's a perfect circle.

Any suggestions on models? I like the flexible one because it's lightweight and not easy to break. I'd be open to other options though if you have suggestions.

Stories like this, the Uber story, and the recent one about Google tracking location even when you opt out, are why I'm looking forward to Purism 5 with PureOS and kill switches.

It's also manufactured by Google, which is equally adept in spying and probably more unworthy of trust. But more importantly, it's just a bad deal. A yubikey neo can do GPG, PIV, OATH, OTP, HMAC challenge response, and a few other
