When you purposefully leak private data, you no longer get to hide behind the title "Security Researcher".
The vast majority of this data was posted publicly. You have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

She has reposted since being suspended and apparently it's okay now.

Benjmhart commented on Public Apology to Jeremy Howard numfocus.org/blog/jeremy-... · Posted by u/boxy_brown
An interesting thing to think about is if they would apologize if this wasn't published in a blog and discussed online.
Let's say Jeremy just walked away quietly in disgust and didn't say anything publicly. What would have they done? I would guess that they would have chucked it under "We did a great job enforcing the code of conduct. Problem solved".
Well, if nobody tells you you're being a shit, humans rarely realize it on their own, squeaky wheels get the grease.
Saying that it can replace Django is quite an overstatement! The only framework which can be compared in features is Rails and Spring, nothing else even comes close! Not to mention the productivity benefits... Rust is a good language, but with these compile times for a complex Django-like web application? No thanks.
Yeah, but those compile times catch bugs everyone misses in your Django app.
People think speed is the only advantage, reducing runtime debugging and providing a more secure, more correct front end, free null pointer issues and free of memory leaks and runtime type errors - rust just has the added bonus of being fast.
You're right some of the tools aren't quite there and if you move a rails-y app over to rust, you have a job ahead of you to assemble some libraries, but it is doable - the point is that you can put rust in production at web scale now.

Nitpick, but only two of those are valid programs. Two of them use `a` without binding it.
Nitpick. But unused bindings is a warning, it doesn't create an invalid program
Benjmhart commented on An Anecdote About ML Type Inference (1994) web.archive.org/web/20081... · Posted by u/tjalfi
- SML is old
- OCaML has OO cruft and OCaML folks themselves keep telling you "Oh, you don't have to use the OO parts of OCaML"
Well then effin give me an ML that's more modern than SML, and has no OO cruft!
don't tell me "take this stuff that we think is good, and just ignore parts of it that are bad"
(and I'm not interested in Haskell).
edit: Matt Might lists only two other languages [0], Scala and Scheme. Both are not ML (though I think some folks think Scala is an ML?)

Purescript is Haskell without cruft and built for the web era.
Idris or agda for type level goodies.
Benjmhart commented on Ask HN: When do you expect life will get back to “normal”? · Posted by u/founderling
A few weeks. This is an over-reaction.
The push for suppressing entire populations for months and years are coming from those that want to dis-empower these populations the rest of the time.
If by "normal" you mean the neo-liberal/neo-marxist agenda "progressing"... that is increasingly unlikely
The neoliberals and neomarxiists want opposite things.
