@mailoxy
ofc they'll blame @Shamar for collaborating with the enemy and providing them with cyberweponz

@kitsune yeah, shit happens :(

@kitsune still a pretty good strategy though, if your goal is getting big $$$.

@kitsune but if it's so bad that you can't use it, then nobody will want to use it. Only fools will buy it and they will suffer while using it.
Which means ur a scammer.

@Shamar @jamey @alcinnz
isn't XSLT turing-complete tho?

@strypey @djsumdog
Hmm... ok, but now the question is:
Is it ok for you to judge others based on whether they help a fascist distribute recruitment videos?

@jamey @Shamar @alcinnz
It's damn fast! <3

@strypey @djsumdog
another interesting aspect:
Are you obliged not to help them?

I've seen a lot of people claim that you are, and that (pardon my exaggeration) "if you don't punch a nazi, you are a nazi".

I disagree with that. IMO there's a lot of value in the concept of a "common carrier" - a neutral intermediary that can't be hold accountable for what it distributes, as long as it doesn't discriminate based on (or doesn't even look at) what's inside the box it carries.

@tdemin
>SSHing too much work
sigh...

As for checking in person - that wouldn't work here, because the teachers usually have automated tests prepared beforehand, which they don't want to disclose to the students.
We submit most our assignments by email or moodle, which is IMO pretty convenient.

@tdemin
I'm not sure if you mean "he couldn't ssh" or "why didn't he ssh? he should've done this"

Anyway:
At my university, most programming assignments have the following rule (explicitely mentioned in task description):

The solution must work (and will be checked) on the `students.mimuw.edu.pl` machine.

So all the students, no matter what they use on their computers, are expected to ssh there to test their solutions before submitting, and this is also where the teachers check it.

@minus @thog
For some time I used to be like
"how's assuming absolute path to env better than assuming absolute path to python".
But then I saw virtualenv, and it all made sense.

@sir @alcinnz
I know.

@sir @alcinnz
Yeah, the language I described is definitely not suitable for this usecase.

For this usecase, I suspect Go is the step in the right direction, though I've only used it for like an hour, so I don't really know.

I think the theoretical language I described could be more suitable for parts of kernel code, implementation of cryptographic primitives, compression algorithms, etc.

@redsPL AFAIK @Vexatos is from Germany.

@sir @alcinnz
As a learning exercise? Sure.

To write network-facing software that operates on untrusted data, and that is supposed to be used by someone else?
Umm... I'm tempted to say they'd better keep writing in JS, at least they don't make RCEs this way.

But give them an Aspire One laptop, so that they feel how inefficient their code is.
