It's about time UX designers took the feelings of procrastinators into account !
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Many of today's most common languages make it difficult for programmers to protect users' privacy and security. I'm sorry, accessing that variable requires 2FA
|

I feel that have to say that the easiest way to write programs that protect their users' privacy is BY NOT DEMANDING PERSONAL DETAILS!

How on earth data privacy has anything to do with programming languages? Maybe with features of data storage (SQL/ NoSQL)...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

and how is the data gathered and sent to that storage locations?

The PHP team has unanimously voted to integrate the Libsodium library in the PHP core, and by doing so, becoming the first programming language to support a modern cryptography library by default. The bad news: it's still PHP
|
|
|
|

what? that they are cryptographing the library?... as it would not be enough obscure yet...

It'll be out of date in six months.
And isn't PHP dead?
Or is that windows?
Oracle?

Yes, because no other programming language has a cryptographic library as part of its standard library.
Oh, wait. What's that "System.Security.Cryptography" namespace about in .NET.

Sodium is a modern, easy-to-use software library for encryption, decryption, signatures, password hashing and more.
Oh wow, that is SO missing from .NET!

What's wrong with having a language define the syntax and rules and the libraries implement (updateable) implementations?
I see no good in this.

Ah, I had failed to realize that subtle difference -- they're adding it to the language itself!

Agreed - let's hope it's not contagious.

I don't think that's what's happening here:
"The proposal to embed Libsodium (also known as Sodium) into the PHP standard library came from Scott Arciszewski, Chief Development Officer at Paragon Initiative Enterprises, a man that has campaigned for stronger cryptography in PHP CMSes in the past."
So, they're just adding it to the standard library. Like .NET, C++, Java, and just about every other language.
Headline should read: "PHP becomes the last programming language to add modern cryptography to its core."
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."

Within five years there will be a headline about how PHP's encryption has had an unfixed compromising flaw since day one.
(This is like predicting the sun will rise tomorrow.)

Well, they can slip past it by bringing a keyboard with them. That way, they can hang out at the space bar.

Recently at Ignite Australia, Microsoft made things somewhat more official and mentioned that they have plans for the release a second featured Windows 10 update after the Creators Update. I know, let's call it, "Windows 10 3.1". People loved that version before.
Windows 10 ME is right out.
