Personally, I’m more interested in what a process can do to protect a small amount of secret material longer-term, such as using wired memory and trust zones. I was hoping this would be an abstraction for that.

The Go runtime may not be the only thing reading your process’ memory.

Careful. Waldorf schools have some great ideas but they’re also rife with crackpottery and are somewhat cult-like in many ways.

Curious about the crackpottery and cultiness?

I’m on board with some of their rules, but no listening to prerecorded music is where they lose me.


All Waldorf schools aren’t created equal, but things I’ve seen are anti-vax beliefs, hard belief in mystical karmic stuff, a sort of groupthink that encourages conformity and obedience and shunning of people who question authority, and (and this one is really strange IMO) a prohibition on fantasy play among the children (eg you aren’t allowed to pretend you’re running a restaurant and your friends are guests —- for reasons of crackpottery).

The problem with spaces like this is that manipulative people easily take over the rudder for the whole school combined with that it attracts a certain kind of free-thinking and liberal people who get wooed in and enable it all.

Edit: there is a Swedish documentary about one of the schools my brother went to.

Can confirm. My brothers went to different ones and some were legit over the line.

But they do have great salads.

Breaking: Willy Wonka execs don’t let their kids eat unlimited amount of candy.

See how uninteresting and obvious that is?


Only if your mental model equates youtube to junk food.

And yet, would that be wrong?

Youtube is a grocery store. So yes, if you view everything coming out of it as junk you're ignorant and wrong.

And yet, when going to a grocery store where everything is free, what content would adolescents be most likely to consume?

Your analogy was more apt than you could ever imagine.


I can't speak for your adolescents, but my kids make generally good decisions. I don't relate to the kids are stupid automatons with no agency or valid opinion mindset that is so prevalent with HN contributors. If your kids would only ever pick junk food, maybe that is a reflection on you more than them?

I myself was recently an adolescent, and still know many adolescents myself. My take is coming from my anecdotal experience, and the behaviour I've observed from my peers. Perhaps your kids don't show that side of them in front of you? I know my peers and I certainly didn't go out of our way to advertise such activities to our parents when we were younger.

That misses the point by a mile and a half: nobody let's their children eat unlimited amounts of chocolate. They do, however, let their children access Tiltok, Youtube, etc.

Except that's not true. Plenty of parents let their kids have unlimited access to junk food and candy. Neighbor kids come over and they don't know what to do because I only have water, fruit, and pretzels. I have been to so many parent's houses who have whole pantries of just sugary snacks.

No this misses the point.

I wanted to eat unlimited junk food when I was a kid but my parents wouldn't let me.

You can change it even to unlimited protein shakes. It is the same point. It is almost like kids are kind of stupid if you let them do whatever they want.


I think the intent is to separate the virtual column creation out when it’s introduced in order to highlight that it’s a very lightweight operation. When moving onto the 3rd example, the existence of the virtual columns is just a given.

The examples also needed a “drop table if exists” so they could be run more than once without errors.

Great catch, I'll add that now!

My bottom of the barrel iPhone SE is absolutely not a status symbol. It’s just the phone I like best.

The MSRP of your phone does not matter.


> They haven't. And you really think changing to Calibri benefitted anyone?

The wild thing is that even if you don’t respect the switch to Calibri on the grounds that it doesn’t really benefit anyone and is therefore wasted effort for little or no gain, the decision to switch back is a decision to double that wasted effort.

That said, it’s clear from the daring fireball story linked in the thread that this is being super overblown and Rubio isn’t really making an argument that Calibri is wasting money. This is an arbitrary decision.


Chiming in to say I also love this app and will give it a try to see if it improves my workflow. Best of luck with it. This sort of small targeted saas is the dream.

I really appreciate the kind words. Thank you :-)

You think this works well as saas?

And their service is trash, technically speaking. I sometimes sit down with a burrito and pick a show and wonder if I’m going to finish the burrito before the show actually starts playing. It’s embarrassing. There’s a lot to hate about Netflix but they are highly competent when it comes to the perf of the UI and the streaming.

Do netflix still use FreeBSD at some level for their streaming?
