The history of kindergarten is interesting here, and I find that the Montessori method falls well in line.

"Kindergarten means a garden of children, and Froebel, the inventor of it, or rather, as he would prefer to express it, the discoverer of the method of Nature, meant to symbolize by the name the spirit and plan of treatment. How does the gardener treat his plants? He studies their individual natures, and puts them into such circumstances of soil and atmosphere as enable them to grow, flower, and bring forth fruit,-- also to renew their manifestation year after year."

You're supposed to confirm the fingerprint with the person. At the time the recommendation was a phone call (if you knew their voice) using the PGP word list - it was felt to be computationally implausible to fake that up in realtime. Or people publish fingerprints on their site etc.

Obv. the fingerprint only matters if you want to be sure you are talking to someone specific, in which case you usually have a way to know who they are or why you care. For some use cases trust-on-first-use is adequate.

Art and sports are generally electives in US public schools. It is entirely possible (and in fact very likely) for a student to be ahead in all academic subjects, especially at the lower grade levels when there's not much specialization yet. Probably not equally advanced. But at the very least, a student who is far ahead in math and science is probably also well above average in reading comprehension.

Great and honest post. I hope people pay more attention to these topics that apparently are not tech-centric, but imho it's where the tech stuff actually comes forth.

Although I can't say that I agree with all, I can surely identify with the attempt to systematize our way of though, and the division of personal/impersonal, general/speficif and permanent/impermanent is interesting.

On a (not so quite) side note, one thing that comes to mind when reading this is that meditation can be used as an efficient way of controlling your thoughts, to the point where you can learn to avoid the pitfalls that the author mentions (ex: taking criticism to heart, pessimisn, etc).

"It's not very widely used."

Um. Well ok, maybe but not likely, as pointed out by a sibling comment, but it is used by a large fraction of companies that deal with services on an enormous scale - Google (obvi), Dropbox, Cloudflare... here, better than copy/paste: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GoUsers

You're going to recognize an awful lot of those companies.

Edit: not sure if it counts, but the number of companies using software written in Go in mission-critical ops is enormous (see: Docker).
> They don't do anything that their competitors (OneDrive, Box, Google Drive, etc.) don't do better.

I'm curious why you think their competitors are superior?

Having tried all the major solutions, Dropbox is by far my favorite. It just works—I don't have to manually control files, I don't have to worry about being forced into a janky web editor, and I don't have to think.
My point is that this thinking is a fallacy precisely because it is orthogonal to the argument being made. It is neither evidence for nor against the argument. You are making some sort of argument for heuristics, but heuristics are called such precisely because they are not solutions.

The correct answer is to independently validate the claims, or evaluate the merits of an argument on their own ground. That's tedious and often not worth the effort, and that's OK. We use heuristics all the time -- you don't ask your friend for his proof, because you use the heuristic of trust instead. But at least acknowledge that it's a heuristic and stop trying to claim it as a solution.
Well C++ definitely rewards care and effort in a similar way. Haskell and Rust (to get specific) are good for me cause they allow one to write much more air-tight abstractions, raising the upper limit on what my constant refactoring can yield. No more of that "all abstractions leak" bullshit!

> users who want to email someone discover their key by searching the keyserver for that email, then taking the newest key. This is akin to trust-on-first-use, and opts out completely from the web of trust or any kind of external verification

Well, yes? What is the alternative, if I want to email someone who exists only in the form of a pseudonymous online identity?
Gmail did something like this back when it had ads. If it detected an email related to a death, it would attempt to block related ads from displaying above the content, so you didn't get pestered with ads for funeral services while receiving news of a loved one's death. From my understanding, it didn't always work, but was an interesting first step.

I don't know if other Google services now incorporate similar behavior.

By giving this power, you also increase the consistency of the language.

Maybe. That's like the apocryphal story about the student asking a question if a particular proof step is really obvious, so the professor goes across the hall, derives stuff on the other blackboard for the next 30 minutes, then comes back into the lecture hall saying, "Yes, it's obvious."

Maybe you increase the consistency of the language from one point of view, but what happens from the perspective of each individual project? What if this leads to projects where templates have been used to create 3 different template based "little languages" to make X, Y, and Z easier? You had 3 problems, but now you have 6. The oft written reply to that in these debates, is to limit the power of the template system -- but is that a robust goal under the group dynamics of the language community? I think not.

One subliminal goal in the design of Go seems to be about privileging certain conventions to avoid a babel of roll-your-own conventions in large projects. This is all across the language and even in the toolchain.
Come on! We live in a world which is specifically designed to make us unhappy. I mean most of us don't even have the option to be less materialistic; most jobs that pay enough that you could spend less time at work don't give you the option of doing so. So the only freedom left to people is the freedom to choose how their money is spent. Human relations are constantly being squeezed out and replaced with business deals. And I keep seeing these articles blaming the victims. Folks, this is not some unintended side effect of capitalism- this is the way the system is supposed to work. You're not supposed to be happy.

Indeed, that is why I couldn't make it past the second chapter of Antifragile. His insistence on citationless, just-so stories to explain everything (in his world everything has a snarky one-liner explanation) make his writing a huge turn-off to me. I'm surprised about his popularity in the HN crowd since I would expect engineers to insist on statements being backed up by evidence.

However, this article contains some good insights. Although it was permeated with matter-of-fact insults to practically every group of people, the insults were less vicious than those of many of his other works.

What's wrong with their client? I'm really looking forward to the Infinite updates and have never had any issues with DropBox (or OneDrive).

Google Drive on Mac though... Complete and total Hell of an experience. Really wanted to use it because Google/Gmail. But, we always had:

* Syncing issues with the team,

* CPU resources were insane,

* Freezing when closing the app,

* Tying to upload a relatively large file (~8gb) would just trash our home network.

Maybe it was just our setup though. I would go back to them in a heartbeat if they worked on anything. :/

At the earliest a decade. Effectiveness of the treatment wasn't evaluated. Just the delivery mechanism. This things are kind of a toss up, because this isn't a drug per say, but a delivery method.

It's pretty cutting edge tech. But if the right $$$ is behind it potentially see us in 5-10 years. But this would cost a load, and require a lot more researches be involved. This is before we even get to human trials.

Generally a drug/therapy isn't going to make it to market until the research teams spins off, or joins a bio-med startup. Then its 3-5 years away. Bio-med startups normally front the huge testing costs, then simply sell the patent+FDA approved drug to a large phrama firm for a HUGE pay off.

If you have 24 kids total in the district, then maybe you put them all in one classroom regardless of age and teach that way. If you have 300 kids in the school district now you can do separate classes for each age. If you have 900 kids, now each grade can have 3 classes and maybe one of them in each grade can be set aside for advanced students and one for slower students. If you have 25,000 kids in the district, now you can start doing things like an entire G&T school, and/or a school for the students interested in performing arts, and/or a specialized vocational high school.

Because Google will treat your content preferentially if you do. To quote an earlier post of mine from a different thread [1]:

AMP can impose constraints because it's a corporate effort to re-frame content in a way that provides centralized ad serving, tracking, and the like. It gives the content publishers the same tools (ads, tracking) they have to provide themselves with on the open web, while simultaneously benefiting those like Google who will put their own viewport and context around that content. It's not that much different from when an individual wants to publish on Medium or Tumblr, so the platform provides the author with a box to put text in, a dashboard, view tracking, and stuff the author wants, while they get to host interesting content with which to attract an audience for ads. It's a win-win, symbiotic relationship, while on the self-hosted web, every publisher is on their own.

This isn't about HTML vs AMP at all. It's about business models, which are given in AMP, but left as an exercise for the publisher on the open web.

It's a lot easier to use lints, binding coding standards, compiler options, and so on to limit your team to a subset of the language than it is to bolt more power later onto a language like Go.

This deserves a bitter laugh. For large, long-lived codebases, where there have been effectively many different teams and a number of different managers, the standards, coding styles, and tooling are almost certain to change. If you know of a large corporate codebase where this is not true, please tell me about it. Hell, you need to write a paper about this and start giving talks at conferences!

It seems like the Go maintainers are trying to solve this by moving such conventions from the level of individual project to the level of the language community. I think there is merit in this. For one thing, I suspect this will create greater social and intellectual cohesion across the language community as a whole.
I will be very grateful for stories, opinions, links and I can provide more background or details if necessary.

For such a simple service (i.e. "It's just syncing!") their competitors sure seem to have had a hell of a time replicating the product despite having had nearly a decade to do so.

I have recently tried Google Drive, OneDrive and Amazon Cloud Drive and none of them compared to Dropbox at all. Syncing was slower or more inconsistent. Dropbox syncing is not always perfect but seems to be a lot better than everything else.

The UI, both in terms of desktop client and website were slower and clunkier with GD/OD/ACD. All seem to make sharing more difficult than Dropbox does. Versioning is questionable.

I haven't tried iCloud Drive in earnest but at first glance I don't see any way to check the status of syncing, nor do I see any indication that files are versioned. So that's really a no go right there. Will it one day be better than Dropbox? Maybe. But it isn't today.

Facetime/Facebook video chat/et. al. Granted it has some limitations that would prevent it from, at least initially, being a full competitor.
