> You know what you get with C and it just works as you expect always.
Every language works just as you expect if you have the right expectations.
There are regex libraries for C. Worst argument so far.
If you spend 3x the time writing equivalent code in C as you do in C++ you're either a bad C programmer, a bad C++ programmer, or likely, both.
The main issue I had while using NixOS is that it has a small and somewhat broken set of packages. This is compounded by the very incomplete Nix documentation - its way too hard to create new packages.
The real key to getting really good rest is some good kush.
Are you trying to make a point?
> We know how to build secure RNGs in software.
What secure RNGs do we have that don't require an entropy source?
This is just a worthless advertisement.
> So if you use this to commute for two weeks you're paying 10 dollars flat for a cab ride that you share and will take longer than normal because of the overhead of splitting the ride.
So, you take a ride to work and then you teleport back to your origin?
> That depends on what is being overseen by the government.
You must have had something in mind when you generated that bit of fallacious rhetoric.
> I mean, personally I feel a lot safer managing my own data privacy with what I give these companies, rather than having a government do it for me
What a fallacious statement. How is government oversight of these companies going to prevent you from applying your own magical 'data privacy management' spells?
> The user is responsible for their password security and it should stop there.
That would be true if the user created, stored, authenticated the password himself.
No, but the larger the company the more incentive it has to meet regulatory demands. There are also much fewer such companies so they are easier to identify and check.
> trying to enforce security constraints on new websites alone is an impossible task.
Why 'new websites alone'? Enforcing security standards on new/small websites would be harder than on large ones, and the large ones are more important. There are already many cyber-security related laws that are in place and more-or-less enforced. Having these laws makes large companies invest money into at least attempting to follow them for fear of legal repercussions.
