I've been using Go as my primary language for the last nine years, although I don't overly care about the specific language and have experience with a wide variety of tools and languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, C, JavaScript, Lua, and probably some more. While I've mainly focused on backend in the last few years, I also have written plenty of frontend code over the years, from the "pre-jQuery" days to VueJS.

In the last few years I mainly focused on GoatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com) with the occasional contract job, but I'm keen to start working on something new for the longer term.

I've got quite a bit of code on my GitHub, so you can take a look at that if you want: https://github.com/arp242

Do you think these people will be able to do good technical work if they're constantly beset by this kind of thing? Or do you think they will retreat to somewhere where they don't have to do with that?

And secretively hiding who you are is not a solution. No photographs. No video meets. No YouTube videos. Can never discus anything personal. No conferences.

And if you must use these kind of loaded terms, insisting you MUST be allowed to do business on YOUR TERMS and your terms alone is pretty much how colonisation started.

Did it get rid of all the homeopathic quackery?

They will always have an excuse. If all else fails it'll just be a vague generic "oh yeah, it's just something deeper your science can't measure yet" or something along those lines. The Queen was an amateur hand-waver in comparison.

Never mind it was never very likely to work in the first place, on account of defying basic logic on several levels: like cures like, the whole water memory business, the more you dilute the stronger it becomes – nothing about this makes any sense.

I miss the days when worry about the adverse effects of homeopathy was the top concern...

Besides, if someone has access to your TXT records then chances are they can also change A records, and you've lost already.

Weight also matters of course. Hopefully this relatively simple ruling will fix some of that too.

Yeah, so that would be rampantly anti-Democratic authoritarianism... Peaceful transfer of power is pretty much at the core of why democracy works in the first place, and once you start engaging in political persecution because you don't like some trade-off involving safety ... yeah, that's no longer a democracy but something else.

It really doesn't change that often. And whether this is a "breaking" change is something that's debatable (you shouldn't hard-code the cert lifetime, but I suspect many programs do, so de-facto it may or may not be a breaking change).

If you look at the Go implementation for example (https://github.com/golang/crypto/commits/master/acme), then there haven't been any major changes since it was first written in 2018: just bugfixes and basic maintenance tasks. Maybe I missed a commit but it certainly doesn't require 3-month update cycles. You can probably take that 2018 code and it'll work fine today. And since it doesn't hard-code the 90 days it will continue to work in 2028 when this change is made. So it's more "you need to keep updating the software every decade to keep up".
