1 year agoIt really needs a fourth block that just says “Python”.
(For those who don’t get the joke, in Python the way that one exits a loop over an iterator is to keep going until the iterator throws an exception. It sounds dumb at first, but in truth, that’s only if you think that exceptions are incredibly heavyweight compared to other operations.)
I found that to be pretty insightful.
I completely agree with the analysis that the ability to search is in tension with privacy and a guarantee that posts will be forgotten. Allowing individual posts to declare how they should be shared is a good idea.
