Go is beaten constantly by C# in both Benchmark Game and Techempower benchmarks.

I don't know why this is downvoted, because the statement is not wrong (https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...). Times have changed, modern .NET is very fast and is getting faster still (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvemen...).

>Maybe you live somewhere this is possible but it's definitely not in the developed world

Since the whole world is covered by satellites, living in the undeveloped doesn't guarantee privacy.


I would like to think that I am pretty well informed about tech when compared with general public but I am clueless about all the ways user data can be obtained by someone else.

I bet that even the most well versed security researchers don't know it all.

The trivial examples like where users assume safety because they use HDD encryption and TLS but they run firmware they don't know about (like a whole parallel OS being ran by some CPUs) are just what is very visible.

In practice, we should assume that everything that is connected and everything we do online is unsafe.


>We aren't going to remove the security state.

We should make it impossible for the data to be obtained without express user agreement.


Someone should start selling hardware (phones, laptops) for which it can be proved it doesn't spy on users, doesn't have backdoors and can't be exploited to leak information.

Until then, we must assume that using anything connected implies risks.


Why now? Why shouldn't have the world reduced its reliance on US tech platforms and services 20 years ago. Or why shouldn't they wait 20 more years.

What did happen?


>But full consistency isn't web scale!

But /dev/null is!


Meanwhile, in Russia...

I don't want any kind of store on my PC.

>LLM coding will split up engineers based on those who primarily liked coding and those who primarily liked building.

Quite insightful.
