Hey now, they aren’t Nazis. Nazis at least believe in something, even if it’s something terrible.

I’d bet it’s less simple input sanitizing and more 2 mistakes made separately because they don’t know any better.

1. The input field converting everything to a string indiscriminately
2. Because they did 1, converting everything back to the assumed type

If the front end Dev makes the first mistake, null would be sent in the body as “null”. Then on the backend, somebody might even be binding the variables correctly, but before hand realizing they have to deal with the market and rather than just have a conversation undoes it in their own code.

I’m not going to tell you you shouldn’t do that, I think everybody else has done enough telling others what to do. I’ll try to focus more on what you’d need to accomplish and why what you’re asking hasn’t been done.

Building an OS involves a lot of complex work using very low level calls. The easiest way to think about it, IMO, is that whatever language you use needs to be able to communicate directly with the hardware without any abstraction between the code and the hardware after it’s compiled.

Basic Python, out of the box, requires multiple levels of abstraction to run.

(I’m simplifying here) You write code which is run through an interpreter. The interpreter is a compiled application that translates Python into code the operating system can understand. Then the operating system translates that to calls the hardware can understand.

In that process, the python code is translated to byte code, assembly, and machine code. The Python virtual machine handles memory management for you. It also handles some processing concepts for you.

You’d need to start by finding (or inventing) a solution that compiles Python to assembly without the need of an interpreter or OS in between you and the hardware. It’s worth noting here that Python itself isn’t even fully written in Python and is instead written largely in C because Python isn’t a compiled language. You’d then need to extend Python with the ability to completely manage memory and processor threads without the VM. You’d need to do that because that’s really the main purpose of an operating system.

Something we learn in programming is choosing the right tool for the job. Python isn’t a great option for this type of project because the requirements just to get to where you can start are so high that it’s not really considered worth while. Is it possible, yes, in theory. But without the python interpreter and VM, you’d have to ask if you’re really developing Python or something else that just uses pythons syntax.

I think the headline is poorly worded. Apple paid $20 a person to not have to respect their privacy. They did that because our lack of privacy is worth much more than $20 to them.

Not sure if you’re suggesting that it’s a problem of knowing the language or sarcastically saying that Node.js allows for developers to not know what’s happening.

On the case that you’re thinking it’s a knowledge of the language issue, that’s not what I’m getting at. Typically, what I see with full stack developers is an over reliance on frameworks to do the heavy lifting to the detriment is their skill sets. Often not knowing how to optimize DB queries or trouble shoot performance problems. This works fine in purely CRUD use cases, but falls apart when scaling using more complex patterns starts to occur. I’ve spoken with Sr and staff full stack developers that truly believe the only thing you need to do in order to scale a web app is add nodes.

I’ve worked with my fair share that were front end devs that didn’t understand the backend, too

Tunic. This game is beautiful and sessions on a full battery can last a while without charging. Highly recommend.

My issue isn’t any particular language but the advocates of various languages treating their language as the best hammer for every nail.

Different user here.

My only criteria for a backend language is it tells me something went wrong and where. Hence my distaste for JS.

Some things we would want to install aren’t in the official repos. Downloading the deb file is a solution to that for newer users.

It’s not attitude they are giving you. It’s strong recommendation. It’s the strong recommendation of the entire Linux community.

Sudo is different than run as admin and is not intended to be used to do things the way Windows does them.

The biggest thing he got wrong is the assumption that it’s good programmers writing libraries.

Trump has people trying to get his base to buy the stock with the express purpose of pumping it up to give him more assets to work with to fund his legal battles.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the SEC is currently investigating it because they haven’t been trying to hide it at all.

Many organizations vendor packages in the repo for a number of different reasons and languages. Not just for node.

Human made changes is likely not what caused this image to occur.

111 files with that kind of change count is most likely a dependency update. But could also be that somebody screwed up a merge step somewhere.

That indicates that you might buy it if it’s good. The person I replied to implied they would never have purchased it at all.

If you were never going to buy it, why pirate it?

None of those things are required but they sure do help.

I don’t know that I agree with this for anything but GPUs. There are plenty of distros that are stable and don’t require constant fiddling.

As a developer, the baby is how I see developers, too.
