It's not just the GC, Go's Interfaces are very heavy weight (including in TinyGo). Its green threads are very heavy weight (including in TinyGo)... Oh. And a GC is really unacceptable in a kernel (though not necessarily in the rest of an OS) for all sorts of reasons, not just throughput but also latency and severe issues with FFI and concurrency and frankly how the heck are you even supposed to run a GC without a runtime in the first place? And speaking of which: TinyGo has a massive runtime that requires a sophisticated OS like FreeRTOS already installed on the system, not just for GC but for greenthreads, and, well, everything.

Just because nowadays even MCU's are so powerful that you can just waste an insane amount of resources on TamaGo and just because TamaGo seems to run on custom hardware/firmware that specifically provides it what it needs to directly run on the hardware without help from C/C++/Rust, doesn't mean Go is particularly viable for Android today.

Even more importantly. Google actually wants to use a safe language for Android. Go isn't safe the moment you go parallel/concurrent/async. Go also isn't memory safe for important OS tasks like direct memory access. Go also isn't null safe. Go also isn't typestate safe... Rust have all of the above mentioned safety in all of the above mentioned situations.
We designed it to scale to 1B users. I can grab someone from eng to give the exact numbers but it'll be a long time before we have issues with storage.
Basic fuzzers can surprisingly go a long way. Barton Miller (the professor who first coined the term fuzzing), actually wrote a paper last year [0] where he just ran a very basic fuzzer against a bunch of common UNIX tools. Even after all these years of testing/usage, they still managed to find a ton of issues.

> If you had some legally enforceable contract, maybe there was a leg to stand on. Otherwise, twitch is under no obligation to give anyone a platform.

Twitch partners (I.E. most of the people who make a living on the platform) absolutely have a contract with Twitch. Twitch affiliates don't as far as I know, but those are (mostly) the people in the awkward stage between hobby and profession, and most of them are trying to achieve "partner" status.
I would love to collect locations I like around the world. An app that uploads stuff to their servers would not be a solution for me though. What I would love is if the app would write text right into the phot ("Lincon Street 123, New York") and save it to a folder on my device "photos/new_york" so I can simply sync that photo to my photos folder on my desktop. Then I would know that I will have these forever and will always be able to use them.
Singapore implemented a system a few years ago called NEWater [1]. It's a little different from the one in this article: NEWater centrally collects waste water and filters it until it is drinkable. No burning, no electricity generation (rather, NEWater consumes electricity). But it shows that not only will many people use or even drink such water, they will even go on tours of the plant where it is made [2].

Why did you even pay at all? He just completely raised the price during the transaction. On top of that, why on earth did you give 20%?
This post isn't different enough from the previous one to justify a second major thread in the same month. We understand how cool this project is. It's just that front page space is scarce on HN and the hivemind is sensitive to repetition.

People come to HN to escape repetition—except of their favorites, of course, which they love to see repeated. Everybody's favorites are different, so for an overall solution we need to regulate repetition.

Even when they aren't strictly reposts, we mark a story as a dupe if (a) it has had significant attention in the last year, and (b) the new post doesn't add significant new information (See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22significant%20new%20informa...).

Project-release threads tend not to be about the incremental features in the new release but rather free-ranging discussion of the project in general. That's fine, but about one per project per year is the right amount for HN to host. That gives us a good mix of projects to discuss while still leaving space for other things.

The death of the press¹ has been an worldwide phenomenon, so attributing it to a single US legislative bill is a bit too reductionist.

It's quite possible that there was US protagonism on that process, and it's quite possible that the bill was a relevant factor, but the bill doesn't have an worldwide impact, and the US influence does certainly not come from it.

1 - It looks quite dead by now, nearly everything we call by that name is free of any usable information. Of course there's some activity here or there, but it's dead like a dead forest, something spurs here or there, but nothing is able to grow.

The fact that the policy is not fully disclosed is, in itself, not OK.

I know they will if you land at your first destination in the US and are catching a connecting flight - they will run you through security a second time before letting you into the secure area of the airport where you might board another aircraft - but that's only if you are connecting.

Then again - my experience travelling says this has a lot more to do with airport layout dictating security procedure more than anything else - some airports seem to change policies every time I fly - one time I have to collect my bags, the next I don't, the next I can actually just catch an international connection, the next time I can't without getting my bags, etc (all through the same airport through the past few years)
Awesome deal. The "register and email free+appsumo@mixpanel.com" part is pretty janky though. It should handle that automatically.

The relevant patents on Lego® bricks expired decades ago, and you would think clone bricks would have flooded the market by now. And yet Legos still sell—even the sets that aren’t licensed brands. My experience with Mega Blocks, cheaper bricks that are supposed to interlock with Legos, is that they don’t interlock very well—the tolerances are just far off enough to cause frustration. There must be something in Lego’s manufacturing process that keeps their quality high even though, on paper, nothing could be easier than replicating their technology.

Has EFF ever addressed if we have the right to root our phones?

Because smartphones are getting more and more locked down, they have reached the point in late 2014 where many models simply cannot be rooted by 3rd parties.

I used to work at Google in support. You were not talking to a random engineer - the support people are all dedicated support contractors. Most of the teams are all non-technical and the only thing they know about how the product works is from a two week training where most of the time is spent on learning how to avoid lawsuits.

This result should be taken with a large chunk of NaCl until the analysis is internally approved by the collaboration and peer reviewed. Although it's been a while since I got my Ph.D. in experimental particle physics, I do remember that di-photon data sets are subject to significant sources of background from a variety of decay processes that produce one photon + a jet of hadrons, 2 jets, a Z boson decaying to electrons etc. Accurately filtering out and estimating the purity of the data sample is crucial, particularly when claiming the discovery of a new particle. My money is on a some combination of a statistical fluctuation, an inaccurately modeled background, or mis-estimated systematic uncertainty that is creating an artificial "bump." I look forward to being proven wrong and hope that ATLAS and CMS discover something so that high-energy physics doesn't go down in the dustbin of history because it's gotten too bloated and expensive to sustain.

"Real life" friends - met by chance

Internet friends - met by interest

I think that says it all - I've met many internet people over the years, and they've all been the most incredible, 'three-dimensional' people. The internet really opens up the opportunity to meet people you can relate to on every level - people you'd never have gotten in touch with otherwise.
This is cool.

My rhetorical question would be how is possible for someone to complete a university degree before asking a question like this.
No, societies recognize that everyone shouldn't need to be a doctor/engineer/financial analyst to avoid harm in daily activities, so we collectively empower regulators like the FDA/FAA/SEC to protect us from unfettered capitalism.

Likewise we shouldn't expect people to all be computer security experts, but we should expect regulators to keep us safe by creating standards and enforcing penalties for companies failing to meet them. I'm not saying we need a new regulatory agency, but we do need enforced regulation with scalable teeth.
This has got to be the single most ridiculous comparison I've ever seen on this website.
I'm a contributor, I wouldn't say I am "from Sandstorm" though. I actually looked at Restyaboard packaging a couple times, but the roadblock I hit is that there is currently no working example of a Sandstorm app running Postgres as the backend. I believe another contributor managed to get an app running using Postgres, but I don't know how they did it. I think there's some aspect of the Sandstorm sandbox that throws Postgres for a loop, and you have to kinda hack around it.
Just speculating here. Could be due to declining smoking rates. Especially among the cohort that's aging into age into prime diagnosis years. Nicotine is highly effective at preventing Parkinson's.

https://actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s4...
There are measurable links between use of ADD/ADHD medication and Parkinson’s, which makes sense given that the former modulates dopamine and the latter has to do with dopamine modulation.

I view this direct connection as more compelling an explanation.
It's not just phone numbers, though. It could be private messages, friends-only posts, IP address logs, physical addresses, SSNs--the list goes on. You'll quickly find that anything non-trivial will start collecting data users wouldn't want public.
Wow that website (https://philosopher.life) has an incredibly soothing UI. I don't know if it's the "old web" part of it that's doing it for me or what, but I really like the theme.
If you're not familiar with what those old philosophers said and how their arguments work, you're liable to make yourself look like a fool when you tread old ground not realizing it's old. Similarly with Jazz, if you wanna be avant garde, you should have some idea of the body of work that's come before you. A lot of the best musical rule breakers were classically trained and knew their shit.

To each his own, but can I ask what about Buster Keaton movies motivates you? Just wondering.
Better to be poor in a city

I could definitely be wrong, and I agree there is a point where you are just too far, but I live more than an hour from the city and meet people from towns even further away; life still happens as normal out here and it doesn't cost so damn much. So maybe don't live in a corn field, but don't insist on New York, New York either.
I continue to be flabbergasted that so many otherwise savvy observers believe that a random assortment of software annoyances constitutes a crisis at Apple. Articles like this could have been, and were, written at any time in the past fifteen years.

Whether or not you agree with at-will employment,
almost nobody would agree your private employer is, in general, obligated to employ you.

So why would a service provider be obligated to continue to provide a service that you can profit from?

Another example: if you found a net profitable bet against the house at a casino, is the casino obligated to continue to offer that bet?
Nope, but you missed the question of what happened in the park.

A lack of net neutrality can be exploited without you (as a casual internet user) knowing it. It could be AT&T going to Netflix and telling them "Give me money or Netflix will be slower than Hulu". Netflix would pay, and you wouldn't know the difference.

Also, if you want a less hypothetical scenario: in 2012 and 2013, AT&T blocked FaceTime.
Was just looking for something like this. Thank you!

I'm still trying to decide between Personal Capital vs. YNAB...
> Nobody was ever doing that.

Zero-rating + data caps means you're paying more for some websites than others. Comcast/XFinity gives you unmetered "free" access to NBC, for example, while charging you for overages caused by your Netflix traffic.
It is less about hyper-focus on language and more of a curiosity. Yes, I personally don't like Python, but I would have the same curiosity if he used <x>, had written a book using <x>, and if Google heavily used <x>.
I believe Xfinity has intentionally hobbled their data cap removal on their site. Every time I went to go through the process of paying an extra $30 for unlimited data, service was "unavailable."

Complaining on Twitter got the result I wanted but I find that interesting. Or who knows, maybe I'm imagining things.

shareholders can call back shares at which point shorts have to find other shares or buy at market value.

I think we're already seeing shares called back since likely gme wants to do a stock offering on a good valuation.

There's also not many shares left to short... so it is going to be interesting.
Undeveloped film is arguably not a tangible medium suitable for communication and this film is obviously not being developed by its author. The development process of film renders it suitable for copy.

For starters, the bit you quote doesn't at all sound like it supports the assertion you're making. A film negative absolutely is a tangible medium of expression, certainly suitable for communication.

And, according to the same website you reference[0]:

"Ownership of a 'copy' of a photograph –- the tangible embodiment of the 'work' –- is distinct from the 'work' itself –- the intangible intellectual property. The owner of the 'work' is generally the photographer or, in certain situations, the employer of the photographer."

It's pretty clear from this that the copyright is attached to the not-all-that-tangible "work" created when the photographer presses the shutter on his/her camera.

I actually started down the path of getting making cron restart the wlan interface every 24 hours but I ran into some issues and gave up on it. I suppose rebooting the whole machine would also work :) May do that as a short term fix.

I will have to try again to figure out why this is happening, there must be an explanation.
Haha, so relevant.
It's you because everyone is held at gunpoint.
I'm afraid you can't avoid this, but you can evade being at gunpoint by keeping low profile, downshifting and stuff. This of course is only temporary
Unfortunately, you can't fix this situation unless democracy work again, and it won't until we figure out how to do it in the world that became a thousand times more complex.
Okay, maybe I'm getting old, but I can't really see the point of Mesos. It feels like it's adding too much magic to the mix, and I can't see myself using it to deploy web app servers/databases.

> Remotely transmitted malware.

For data acquisition (snooping).

> Hardware caught in transit and infected by malware.

For... hmm... backdoors to data? (Laptops with Stuxnet covered below)

> Firmware infected with malware at factories.

For, yes, transmission snooping. The PRC has also altered routers and other computerized electronics, including those intended for use by militaries in various Western countries.

> Bricked backbone routers, causing widespread outage during civil war.

Yes, by accident [1] while attempting to surveil (snoop). Not sure if disabling Syria's internet is worse or better than China's DNS poisoning which affected everyone... by accident.

> Hacked phone companies.

For what purpose, I wonder?

> Stuxnet, a computer worm designed to sabotage industrial centrifuges.

A. Not done over the internet, done by sneakernet. B. Nuclear reactor facilities in Iran are really not the same as GitHub.

> A $6 billion trade contract being manipulated in favor of Boeing.

That's nefarious, I'll agree... except, the NSA just blew the whistle on Airbus who was bribing Saudi officials. The information was indeed gained from--wait for it--snooping. [2]

> ...Raytheon

Same deal there... The CIA was the whistle blower against the French competition. [3]

> Weakening products and standards that Internet users.[sic]

LOL.

Of the two actions you do cite that aren't surveillance, one has nothing to do with the internet and the other was for the purpose of surveillance. So no, the U.S. government's surveillance program is not the same as the PRC performing a DDoS attack on Github.

This is an interesting discussion, but unfortunately the term observability is overloaded. It is used in control theory as "a measure for how well internal states of a system can be inferred by knowledge of its external outputs" [1].

For several years I've been using the term "inspectability" to refer to the kind of observation of code execution to which the author refers. Inspectability is an important concept, especially for computer security, and is not often discussed.

It's interesting to note that malware written in a language like OCaml would often be harder to reverse engineer than malware written in C, precisely because of the points the author makes.
