        Interesting to see Swift's justification for adding isEven and isOdd to the language (because it would help people) in contrast to old school attitude attitudes (people who don't know everything or make mistakes deserve punishment). https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0225-binaryinteger-iseven-isodd-ismultiple.md …pic.twitter.com/X6DA7JzQMh

        One thing I've always found funny about the "programmers deserve problems if they make mistakes" attitude is that most of the cost falls onto users, not programmers. Do people think users deserve problems because of original sin or something?

        Possibly, but that's not my reading -- if you use un-boundschecked arrays, this does not help you crash instead being comprimised

        Am I misreading this? Is Thompson saying that a ping of death is no worse than a something that allows you to take control of the machine?

        That's so interesting. I feel like defense in depth is commonly accepted now. Was this not the case until relatively recently?
