Many sentences begin with lower case. This may be a style thing, and is often done for bullet points, but is not good for regular paragraphs.

I am not talking about runtime dependencies, which multi-binaries and busybox address. I am talking about the source code dependencies. When you have 100 times the number of entities (persons/projects) providing the source code golang pulls in for the easy-peasy build, vetting is 100 times more work.

I really admire the lightning fast compiles of golang and the language features - but the security nightmare of their standard repo is something that younger programmers don't seem to understand, and is shared by other new languages.

Doctor! Doctor! It hurts when I do this!

How would shooting someone on 5th ave be part of his constitutional duty?

Yes, I am perfectly aware that "works". You missed the point that that does NOT meet the standard of packaging I insist on, and that distros like Fedora insist on.

The Month of Humility is ended. Today begins the Month of Charity.

I have lots of languages coexisting from EDL to Java to C++ to C to Python. I integrate with message passing / RPC, so there is no issue with binary compatibility. Struct/copycd/class versions of data layout are easily translated automatically. My brother uses JSON source for data definitions, and translates that to headers/copycd/etc for various languages.

A lot of people use JSON for messages. I respect that and have no problem interacting with that, but it is slower.

After experimenting with C++, I rejected it as combersome, slow to compile, and few benefits (such as golang and rust provide). Rust is even slower to compile.

I stole some C++ concepts for C, using a nexted exception analog with try/catch macros and also swiped obstack from gnu compiler. Thus most memory management is automatic with obstack freeing objects from more deeply nested levels. Objects point to a class structure with function pointers for virtual methods. Virtual method calls use do macros. As in x = do(obj,parm1) or do2(obj,p1,p2).

In contrast to nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9uq3wamnwvaz7tmdd3jkkafwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsqgzvsqp90fvg4q5yn5zfs97zhk4dnp9jtfz6m8md44nwglfmgl3m9ucrxauz , I consider the golang/npm/rust library repos dangerously fine grained. Instead of a few dependencies with trusted maintainers, a golang project e.g. has hundreds of dependencies by little known individuals - any one of which could have (and has had) trojans built in. And these contributors can artificially boost their reputation by e.g. [reputation farming](https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2024/q2/304).

Large topical libraries like glibc or libsodium are much more manageable. Golang projects are extremely cumbersome to build for projects like Fedora with reproducible builds. To me, it is insane that people type 'go build' and get the latest code from random strangers on the internet integrated with their binary. Now download all 200 dependencies, at least eyeball the code for all 200, try to check the reputation of a random sample of the 200 contributors, check the LICENSE of each dependency and compatibility with your license (and Fedora policy) - and THEN tell me how "easy" golang is.

Makes it awkward when govt cuts off food distribution and you need to eat them.

That seems to be a general rule. E.g. when leftist cities pass "gun control" laws, gun crime drops quickly, then comes back worse than before after about 6 months. That seems to be how long it takes for new supply chains to get established, or the "market to adjust".

You do need a balance of power - like that described in "Lone Star Planet" by H Beam Piper. https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/20121

Basic idea: killing a politician was not murder, but a political protest. After any such action, a local convention is called. If not enough people agree with you, then you replace said ex-official (running the same risk if you screw up). If most people do agree you did the right thing, then there is an emergency election to select the replacement. Refusing to serve is not an option.

Maybe I missed it, I've been following the trial with Robert Gouveia, but what IS the felony? Did they finally come up with something? Or just leave it unspecified?

Is this from 2016 or 2020 ?

The whole point is to reduce population (and profit in the process). Thomas Malthus wasn't recommending population reduction - only pointing out that supporting larger populations requires innovation, which requires freedom. Hence, totalitarian regimes require reduced population to function. The globalist goal is totalitarian rule.

Note that there can be practical freedom under a dictator/monarch that doesn't micromanage (stays in his lane). The globalist totalitarian rule is a bureaucratic one (Deep State/administrative state). It's not a new problem - the Deep State in Bible history was referred to as simply "the officials". Or in modern talk show parlance, "anonymous unelected administrators".

They are turning on him now. Not sure what their new plan is.
