You might be right, this is the best solution in Go at this moment, but that's a local optimum. You don't have to solve this kind of problems in many other languages.

The generator given as an example in the official blog [0] is called "stringer". It is made of 639 lines [1] mixing ast parsing/traversing and printf statements. If this is what I am supposed to write then of course copy-pasting becomes a pragmatic alternative.

Haskell and CL have "all those things" and they are not "C++ with a different syntax".

I don't know why people repeat these cliches... It's not like a language can't have many features and be designed well at the same time. It just takes preparation and effort instead of ad-hoc additions (like with C++).

It would be great if externalities were insured by everybody, yes. But externalities are real, why would you ignore them "out of fairness"? The sane thing to do is to consider them for all kinds of power generation, and then make the best choice. Nuclear just has huge unconsidered negative externalities, we haven't even yet talked about cost of storing and guarding waste for centuries.

Thankfully there are only a few more years until wind & solar will have solved this once and for all by being cheaper, externalities considered or not.

I am writing a chemoinformatics database, so for my practical use, these are a lot of lines of codes with pretty involved algorithms and I am practically not annoyed by the lack of generics.

For the ones down-voting me, have you coded something in Go, big enough to be a real in production project, where at the end the lack of generics is a real issue (performance because using interfaces or maintenance because copy/paste to have the performance)?

You are right, better to have said bacterial infection is a cause of ulcers. Actually infection instigates around 2/3 of ulcer cases. Other contributing factors include NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), stress, and certain endocrine conditions or tumors. Working out diagnosis and treatment can be complicated, so having a handle on your condition is a good thing.
Nim has generics but doesn't have interfaces, which makes things even worse in my opinion.

>it's "almost as good" as the Vive, meaning Oculus DOES lag behind.

OK, you're not taken by those arguments. Try this one[2] or this one[3]. The Vive is marketed heavily on this point and a game targeting Vive might be able to assume a roomscale play area. But there are clearly no issues precluding same-quality room scale on Oculus.

Chaperone might be more intuitive than calibrating room bounds.

>the Vive is better for people with glasses as the lenses can be adjusted.

I agree i've seen more anecdotes pointing pro-vive than the reverse, but this really isn't clear-cut either[6]. Oculus have at least published exact specifications about what size glasses will fit in the headset[5], so depending on the size of your glasses, the Rift may be more comfortable.

The rift was originally going to bundle a larger faceplate for glasses wearers, but this seems to have been removed. Both HMDs have replacable faceplates so that larger designs can be accomodated in the future - and you could order a custom lens for either headset[4].

>No citation on the simpler experience

This comment was specifically in reference to the setup process. Citations are available, here's one from a CV1/Vive review[1].

>and more precise control. Because everything I've read and watched has said that the Vive interface is a lot better. And "more control" I'm assuming you are referring to the Rift controllers that are not even released yet.

That comment was about Oculus Touch, which despite not being publicly available for another 2-8 months (H2 2016 - inline with when you'd receive either HMD ordered today) is a real product that people have used. The information is based on trade show reviews.

>Internet-defense-force indeed.

It's a trend, not a personal attack. I think a lot of this stems from how most marketing is targeting the impressionable online-gamer demographic, and both Steam and Sony are heavily marketing their offerings. I am trying to cite sources as much as possible and only make/refute specific claims.

I build soft real time simulation systems in Java. GC pauses haven't been a problem since 1.2 was released around 2000. Memory usage isn't a concern either for big applications, as there's not a lot of overhead in the runtime. There is the fact that one can't embed value types directly in objects, but I don't find that a problem in practice.
> not economical (but relevant for society)

That's the problem you should be fixing. Not giving out education for free, but make education that is relevant for society be economical.

Well, to put it frankly, why would you want to finance their education in the first place? Regardless of who's paying, a bank or a government, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
20+ Best Unbounce Landing Page Templates 2016 for Marketing
Hi,

I'm asked to sign up, but there are no details about the service. I don't even know how it can monitor my site. I have zero interest to give my email address at this stage, but that's the only thing I can do. You need to entice me to sign up, maybe by explaining the features and how come is this free.

I understand the ad strategy, but the above concern plus the fact that the landing page is full of ads doesn't give me confidence to sign up.

In my opinion, page views and especially on your landing page will not give you the desired value and it'll stop some people from signing up. Maybe you can do text ads (affiliate links?) in the footer of the emails sent by the system.

True. But Nim does have type classes, which in some ways are much better. Interfaces like the ones in Go can be easily emulated using closures.

> I keep trying to figure out why this feels so wrong and creepy.

And I'm trying to figure out why this apparently feels so wrong and creepy to so many commenters here. I don't feel any of that. As far as I'm concerned, it feels... totally normal. Maybe I'm wired wrong or something, but I really don't see anything weird or creepy about learning from publicly available datasets (AKA observing your surroundings?). Nor do I see anything wrong in leveraging computational infrastructure to learn more from those datasets.

The way I see it - a hypothetical "creep" who takes a photo of someone and matches it with their public social media profile is fine. Where I draw the line is them attempting to put that into action through stalking, harassment, etc. because it hurts the other party. Trying to break into data sources that are not meant for public is of course a violation of personal privacy, which is wrong. Also, I consider a person with obsessive interest in another to have a problem that probably requires medical attention.

Are people so afraid today that the fact that another person notices them makes them uneasy?

I wish Google had added the emojis to the appstore years ago and made them updateable independent of the OS release. My phone will not get the upgrade to N so I am stuck with the old emojis unless I install CM14 in the future.

Another problem is that there are way too many emojis on the keyboard and it takes ages to find the right one. There should be a "long press -> hide this emoji" option in the keyboard to get rid of the 75% you will never use.

First off, I would like to thank you for your feedback. I do agree that both the landing page and ad-placement needs a lot of love. I'll bump that up on my list of things to do.

(Keep in mind, this site is something I've just begun throwing together after finding that alternatives either limit the # of sites, have horrible ping intervals, or simply no free option at all)

Edit: Added some basic information on the landing page. Also restricted Ads to the actual functionality pages. (Sites management / Site graphs)

> The bill establishes that: No one is above the law.

Yes - except diplomats, journalists, doctors, as well as conversations between people in person are all "warrant-proof", and therefore "above the law" as Feinstein calls it.

As Zdziarski also says in his post below [1], the 4th amendment doesn't grant the U.S. government anything. It tries to restrict the U.S. government from overreach. It says only upon probable cause can the government request personal information, but it doesn't say the government MUST get that information and in a format that's intelligible as well.

But when the U.S. government has started interpreting the Constitution however it gives it more power, even saying that your "emails" can be obtained without a warrant because they've been "opened" [2], or when it believes that spying on millions of people at once is "relevant" to a specific investigation (3-hop spying) then it's no surprise that they also believe the 4th amendment gives it the power to require the data in an intelligible format.

> No new collection authorities. The bill does not create any new collection authorities for the government to obtain communications. The bill simply requires covered entities to ensure that the government’s lawfully-obtained evidence is readable—so that law enforcement can solve crimes and protect our communities from criminal and terrorist activities.

Well, that's a lie. Until now, only "covered entities" under CALEA could be forced to facilitate spying. Now everyone else can be forced as well, including open source developers. I'd say that's quite an expansion of its "collection abilities", no?

This is a laudable idea, and I do dislike the focus on "breaking news" (which can apparently be anything currently happening). But, news sites have moved that direction because it works. I don't foresee many people collectively deciding to focus on one story for 3 days. We already have ways to dive into a subject when we are interested in it, and, collectively we just don't have the attention span to focus on a single topic. I think this would have to be funded by a nonprofit or a government grant.
Yup, and way better than staring at a screen.
A tag, not a release. I didn't realize there was a difference, but in hindsight, I'd argue it's superior anyway: I'm much more comfortable to sign my local repository copy than signing an archive generated by github in a non-reproducible way.

I can verify the contents of github's archives, but I cannot, in good faith, say I've verified that the archives do not contain malicious code that triggers vulnerabilities in zip/tar/gzip.
Your example suggests a trend - there's much more information hidden in data that it seems on a surface. Many people don't understand it, or don't want to accept it. But it's the nature of the world, and I see no way around it except banning all computation. Because our natural capabilities aided by data-crunching machines are enough to make those "massive privacy violations".

So if we want to live with computing, I think we need to learn to live with capabilities of computing and the nature of the casual structure of the physical universe.

I think that posting the pictures online like that is actually what's creepy. The matching almost has nothing to do with it. For instance, if he just had the subway photos, or he just had the profile pictures, it would give me a creepy feeling. It feels like an invasion of privacy. Here we even have laws that say you cannot publish someone's picture without their consent. Russia does too.

Additionally he quite likely doesn't have permission to post the profile pictures due to copyright.

If you could get Henry Kissinger on your board and don't have moral issues with him, why wouldn't you? I absolutely understand where you are coming from, but in that respect Kissinger is definitively an exception, because while he may not have the medical credentials, he has tremendous value just because he is someone who is so well known that he can be a door-opener "anywhere".

He's also run a consulting company that's specialising in identifying partners and acting as door-opener for the last 34 years.

In other words: He's not on that board for his expertise in their field, but for his expertise and contacts related to getting in to talk to the right people.
Reproducing GitHub's archives locally is trivial. They just use a standard git command to do it anyway.

Absolutely, emojis shouldn't have a race, gender or sexual orientation. They should be round and yellow. When they're yellow genderless blobs, they're universal, they transcend categorization. They're abstract representations of an emotion. This racially diverse politically correct human emoji movement is just ridiculous and can be more racist than not. [1]

EDIT: What's more, if you go this route and truly want to embrace diversity you get to take a mandatory lesson in combinatorics. Consider the "couple" emoji. A couple should be any combination of two human emojis of any race and gender with repetition allowed (to allow same sex and/or same race couples). A family of three or four has even more combinations (consider interracial couple with adopted children). What about unconventional families, single parents, anyone? Why is there no emoji for an extended family? No wonder the family emojis are still nuclear and yellow.

I think that's a problem with the font, actually - it's supposed to be monospace, but the diagonal arrows (e.g. ↗) are about 1.5 times the width. I have the same problem.

(Or maybe not "the" font, but fonts in general - perhaps it's trying to use one font, which doesn't have these arrows, so it falls back to a different one?)
we see things differently. In my view Linus is speaking free here. Many others refrain from speaking free and truthfully for fear of being called an asshole.

Some people have argued [1] that it was not his autism, but his alexithymia which was altered by the TMS. Alexithymia is an orthogonal condition: it can occur with or without autism.

Believing that a "cure" for autism is required is also a rejection of neuro-atypicality as a valid state of being, which is a common form of subconscious Ablism (discrimination against disabled people). That is not to say that no autistic people want to try treatments, simply that we should not forcibly treat all of them (least of all children, which is a line even Robinson himself doesn't argue for crossing.)
