I think a modified version of a line-item veto, where the president would be able to cross out the offending lines, and then send it back to congress for them to vote on the modified version of the bill could be useful. I think it would be significantly less dangerous than having a normal line-item veto.
For anything larger than a trivial program, go is no more verbose than python. For small programs, there's too much variance to really say what language is less verbose, because you can always hit cases where one language has something in the stdlib and one doesn't.

The only place go is more verbose is sorting, and lack of map, filter, and list comprehension. Most of the latter just means you need a 3 line loop where you have one line in python. But that should not be a great effect on any reasonable size program.
The GitHub Pages site is dead.
I agree with you in general; right now we're in this phase of "WiFi all the things!" that is suspect. Which ones stick and which ones don't is going to be hard to say. But I suspect a lot of things will soon seem like those 70s-era whole-home audio systems: quaint in a why-did-they-do-that way.

But I think lighting will be different. My personal bet is that for lights, the driving benefit is health. I automated my lights this fall [1] and I've been very happy with it. I have a substantially more regular sleep schedule, and bad sleep has a number of bad health impacts. We're now seeing more research on how screens are disruptive, too. My basic conclusion is that humans aren't really responsible light-switch users. Now instead of my controlling my lights, thelighting is controlling me. Which is how it worked for most of human history.

I don't think many people will retrofit lighting systems right away; it's painful and expensive. But I can certainly see high-end homes selling smart lighting as an add-on. $40/switch seems like a lot, but $275k vs $276k seems pretty small. I expect that plus the 5% of people crazy enough to do it themselves will be enough to keep companies like Philips producing and experimenting.

I'd love to hear that story if you have the time...
>I would say that the x86 abstraction is now more distant from the actual design of the hardware, not higher.

Those are equivalent terms to all but the most obstinate pedants.
Copying binary kernel modules isn't guaranteed to work across kernel versions. There's a stable API, but not a stable ABI.

Heck, Ubuntu's kernel actually has lots of patches, so unless you carry those along, the modules may even not-work on a same kernel version for some other distro.
I'm curious about the specifics of your problem. I couldn't imagine sorting a list of structs (by one of the fields I presume) would be too terribly different in Go than in other langauges. Heres an example of insertion sort on a basic type: https://play.golang.org/p/SPoiNRVl2B

You can use the standard library sort methods by making your type implement the sort interface. Heres an example taken from the example in the sort docs: https://play.golang.org/p/oeRIhHi1Ei
I was also worried, but figured it could always be returned. So far it's been perfectly adequate. The CPU scaling and power management seems to be balanced really well.

Email is in my profile if you'd like me to time a solution build.
I also work with a distributed embedded system that uses dataflow. The Von Neumann architecture as a revolution of course. But, in a way, it forgot about the natural concurrency of the electronic circuit and how powerful and simple that can be. Dataflow programming can bring some of that back. I remember reading Alan Kay saying something about how programmers should go back and work with a plugboard for a while. Maybe that is what he meant. Its possible to 'program' something with just wires and simple discrete components and that can liberate your thinking.
At the time of writing, google checkout worked in like 8 countries, and had tons of issues

ORM freezing is basically gone, in favour of a smarter approach where the previous state is derived from reading all of the previous migrations in to an in-memory data structure.

Threats from the US to not have a trade agreement. This is all linked to the TPPA. Though if you asked John Key he'd tell you Al Qaeda.
Probably because its easy to conflate Anarchism, a clear ideology, with anarchy, a state of social/political/governmental organization that may coincide with Anarchist ideology, but may also more closely resemble Hobbes' state of nature: "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
You can't fire a volunteer.
I think if you combine that with IT2000[0], it would be more of a "let's pay technocrats tons of money to build their vision of paradise".

[0] As per article, it is a law which mandated annual increases in productivity of 3-4%. So essentially this is officially sustained technology race.
I keep wondering whether such tools should be even legal. Where is the line between making sure you show your advert to people most likely interested in your product and straight up manipulating people into buying something they don't need?

In the past, if you sold let's say car parts, you would then naturally buy advert on a car forum, hoping that people interested in cars would click your ad and see what you have to offer.

Now you that such forums are mostly gone, you have the whole science of nudging people into buying something using your personal data harvested in questionable ways, various funnel strategies and so on. Why is this socially acceptable?
I'm sure there's some people whose analytical brain is being awakened by Factorio and who are looking into turning that into a career.

I mean I played around in ZZT and ended up a software engineer.
> With my leftish friends, I really need to be much more careful. Frankly, I'm not up to date about all the current developments especially in the trans sphere, and I'm not sure if the thing that appears in my mind is the right one to say. And when I say something wrong, they are really outraged. They take it personally. So I find myself a bit more quiet when I' with them, and I keep my opinions about important issues to myself.

This is not a friend, imo. There are plenty of leftists that aren't performative and don't practice consistent outrage. I've known some of these people too and they're exhausting. Do yourself a favor and get new leftist friends.
> I think it’s worth mentioning that most of these problems only occur at a scale that only top 1% of companies will reach

I'll echo what another commenter said. Tons of data != tons of profit.

Tons of data just means tons of data.

Source: Worked on an industrial operations workflow application that handled literally _billions_ of records in the database. Sure, the companies using the software were highly profitable, but I wouldn't have called the company I worked with 'top 1%' considering it was a startup.
