fbreduc··on Ask HN: Is Go or Rust a more viable language to learn in 2017?
I would say rust, but in 2016 other than operating systems and maybe a few other select areas i dont really want to do manual memory management, GC me baby. I would say go but I don't really want to use a language that leaves about everything else good out even though it has a GC.

fbreduc··on Svelte – A UI framework that compiles into tiny standalone JavaScript modules
Hard to say when his only argument is "is in fact high grade nonsense". He's missing the big picture though: performance matters but not completely, it's not two way binding that makes two way binding bad, its developers using two way binding that makes it bad.

I also think it's ignorant to say it's fashionable to avoid two way binding, I've seen teams greatly benefit from avoiding it, teams with less experienced devs and devs who I've previously seen write terrible code. Maybe now two way binding would be easier for them, though I don't know; I'm unlikely to suggest they 180 on tech that has made them much more successful.

fbreduc··on To Know If the Election Was Hacked, Look at the Ballots
We've all known for quite some time that election system needs improvement, what's so different this time? Each and every election the losing side brings up the tampering bit, well yes if people cared enough, we should begin processes to make sure tampering election votes is extremely difficult to impossible. And maybe this is the beginning of real discussion, only problem is who will lead the effort, is this guy just another person with a megaphone?

Also to say paper ballots cannot be tampered seems silly . Unless we know the exact procedure and check points in which they are handled, how they are stored and secured even after the win for case of recount (especially if tampering happens afterward and recount is the plan to which the coin lands on the other side). Hell maybe even down to the specific type of paper a ballot is printed with. And I like what someone else said, scan them in as well... have machine and human come to the same total.

I expected the guy to have proof considering the hype around this, but I do appreciate he said it is unlikely the election was hacked...as if just to quiet those twitter echo chambers.
