I would love to be able to use D in my day job. It's a fantastic language that is both powerful and fun to work with. It's great to see companies embracing it.

Excellent! I've started using Vert.x with Kotlin instead of PHP for making restful API's and it's wonderful. Event driven, strongly typed and performant. Looking forward to trying this out.

What about code reviews?

I also wouldn't call JavaScript great. It's adequate and tolerable. Typescript makes it better. Languages I'd call great include: Kotlin, C# and D.

If our goal is true anonymisation, that is, even the host cannot know who the data belongs to, why are we hashing data at all, and not completely removing it? Replace the pii (name, email address, phone etc) with a fixed number of *'s. There's no reversing or guessing that.

If we are wanting information to be readable by some people in some circumstances, that's not anonymisation: that's data protection and an entirely different problem.

Let's face it - how intelligent you are, what if anything you're gifted at, how tenatious you are, where you were born, who your parents are, who you know, what opportunities life presents you, what you enjoy doing, how much you are driven to win... ALL of these things are out of your control. The real falacy is that rich and successful people think they somehow "deserve" their status and that other people just didn't try hard enough. The reality is that life is a random shitshow and the rich / successful have been extremely lucky.
