In exchange for this car ride, you can have a bedroom that's larger than an entire New York City apartment. You can have a garden, grow your own food, grow your own flowers - heck, if there aren't too many NIMBY ordinances you can have your own chickens. You can have an apiary. You can get a grill, install a picnic table and dine outside. You can have kids - and let your kids outside in the back yard to run around like maniacs as Nature intended, climb trees, play Frisbee or baseball right there in the yard, play with the dog... or they can ride their bikes around on the quiet side streets.

I favor medium-density inner Brooklyn myself, but I grew up in the suburbs, with a few dozen acres of woods behind the houses, and I'm glad I did. Suburbs are demonstrably awesome too.

I make positive contributions, I add intellectual material. I just explained how accounting works, did you understand it before I explained it? Where is your contribution to that effect?

I believe contributions should stand on their own, I don't need a reputation to support my contributions, they are that good, but my editorial voice is always the same, I'm not hiding behind different points of view: I'm not trolling.

If you don't like my contributions, no skin of my nose, I won't make them, just say so, instead of being a prig.

Bill Gates actually is a very weak intellectual who coasts on a reputation he doesn't deserve. As such, by giving bad advice, he harms the economy.

It is intended for activists, but I have never felt comfortable recommending it to my activist friends. I trust the people who run it not to give up data easily, but I don't trust their tech to be at all resistant to a state level actor, which is primarily who activists need to fear.

I'm not convinced this change alters that assessment, as the implementation seems questionable (the secret exchange seems to be on the wrong side of the connection). But maybe I just misunderstand it.

> People will move to cities

Why tf would you want this? As an European, what I loved about US was that people don't like being all crammed up in small, old and disgusting cities, and they are OK with long commutes as the price for their "house with lawn"...

Population dispersal should be encouraged! It dramatically increases quality of life, and if you take a look at google maps you'll see that the Earth is full of unused space.

Yeah, energy and climate change and all that are serious problems... but let's solve so that having solved them we can enjoy un-crammed living...

Ideal world imho would one where cities and towns simply don't exist: it's individual homes or small-group-homes sprinkled around the planet, with "leisure centers" and "shopping centers" and "health centers" sprinkled uniformly between them, and large chunks of forest here + agricultural land here in-between them. It may sound extremely inefficient, but we have the technolgy to make it work now, so let's do it. Find something else to optimize, like making agriculture vertical instead, and let people live in the wide open spaces they enjoy! Why TF do we insist creating and optimizing these Urban Hells and then complain that anxiety and depression are eating us alive?!

If you want to achieve social welfare goals why not use NIT (negative income tax) or less preferably, UBI (universal basic income)?

The money for this would have to come from somewhere. Thus it makes sense to tax the biggest beneficiaries, the capital owners who permanently replaced workers with machines. They're paying because they're gaining the most.

The world population is something like ~7.5 billion people. Everyone needs some form of meaningful employment and income.

This is definitely an issue I am passionate about, mostly because I want to live in the city that eventually gets this right.
Question: now that the Google workaround no longer works for WSJ links, are they even allowed on HN? @dang has implied that paywalled articles without workarounds aren't allowed.
Yes, but sometimes it is much easier to get moving with a good textbook.

With Go, a few online tutorials and the documentation that comes with Go itself, were all I needed to get going. I am not sure if that was an explicit design goal, but I found the language very easy to learn.
The owner pay taxes for all sorts of things, but the companies used robots to cut out human interaction, which means lower money paid out for those workers. Of course laws let the companies "export" the jobs to other countries for lower wages since the 70's.
You are definitely on the money. I hate taking my cars in for any work, there's always a screw missing or something broken that wasn't before. IF you work on it yourself later, you'll notice, which I do. No matter where you go. I prefer to just do it myself but buying the new tools involved and (to a lesser extent) the time involved is prohibitive.

I do change things that aren't difficult such as replacing a turn signal switch in the steering column. But I think the premium for a Toyota or Honda is definitely worth it- paying to reduce probability of having someone wrench on your vehicle, leaving it with a new problem for each one it resolved. Then just hope no one runs into you resulting in the same issue- wishful thinking in an era where everyone is looking down at a phone (which should result in reckless driving charges and jail time).

I suppose it's like expecting even halfway decent QA on software that you purchase. At every place I've worked there is not even a dedicated SQL DBA let alone a legitimate QA effort or team.
> The Go team specifically does not want performance tweaks under flags as it adds complexity for no good reason.

Giving the user the ability to balance his needs for compile-time or his needs for performance is not «complexity for no reason» imho. There is no complexity from the user's perspective, it's just "optimise" vs don't optimise and compile quickly, like what you have with C compilers. It's really different from other kind of performance tweaks, let say the choice between two garbage collectors with different trade-offs. Anyway I'm aware of the dogmatic stance of the Go team on the «simplicity» mantra …

> If generics are to be added, they can't hurt performance and they can't hurt compile times noticeably.

As I said, pure type-check generics with dynamic dispatch under the hood wouldn't hurt compile time and they wouldn't hurt performances because dynamic dispatch is exactly what Go already does with interfaces.

> If this is such a big problem to you, there are many languages out there that embrace the complexity and the tradeoffs. Scala or Kotlin might be good choices.

Not everybody is responsible for the technical environment he is working in. And I'm not sure that telling «if you're unhappy then GTFO» somebody who says he has a problem with the language is a really good approach.
> You keep acting like people going to the city are hurting it, they are not. They are helping it - cities should do all they can to attract people from all over, not just those inside the city.

Take a look at a typical suburban shopping center. The stores are single-story buildings and yet there's still significantly more acreage devoted to parking than to the store itself. Yes, it's good for the economy of a city when people from outlying areas commute in for work and shopping. But there's a huge opportunity cost when you size all your infrastructure to accommodate a car for every commuter and then render the city so inaccessible to pedestrians that most of the city's residents also need to get cars and the roads and parking lots need to be expanded even more to accommodate that. If those commuters were coming in to the city by public transit or driving their cars to a parking deck and carrying out their business mostly on foot, they'd provide the same economic benefit to the city as a whole without making the urban lifestyle impossible and requiring even the minimum-wage shop employees to own a car.

The commuters aren't the problem. Their cars are.

If you compare the official city limits with the satellite view you will see the developed area containing most of the population is much smaller than the city limits, and you might understand what I am getting at. I think the appropriate measure here would be the weighted density, closer to representing the average density a person there would be surrounded by.
I met someone who worked for the British equivalent, the BBFC.

She said every release had to be submitted for classification, since they often contained different material -- a slightly different edit of the main film, or "extra features" which occasionally needed changing, such as where the director's interview "The Making of Fluffy Bunny Adventures III" had him cursing about something.

You nailed it down with “adult” vs. “it takes a village”. Seemingly impersonal nature of the former makes me feel sad sometimes, while the latter feels indeed childish.
>At the time of writing, there's 110 comments on this post and 50 are replies to prodigal_erik's comment on not having generics. HALF the comments on this whole thread are discussing something that's already been discussed for years with no end in sight.

Doesn't that point to an actual demand for the feature, and a constant pain point for the language? Why else would it come up in all discussions? It's not about all discussions about Go spin off to random topics / features talk -- it's usually Generics. Similarly, I've not seen people discuss anything else than common pain points (or perceived pain points) in a language. E.g. with Python it will be about the GIL or the 2 to 3 transition. With JS the "fatigue" and/or the crazy coercion rules. With C++ how complicated it is or the slow template system. And so on.

Your argument is about ease of use, but people rooting for Generics also argue that they make lots of programming cases easier. Are there many programmers in 2017 really wishing that e.g. C# or Java rather didn't have generics?

And what the original feature set as designed isn't very relevant, as languages can and do evolve. Similarly for the opinions of the main developers.

Suddenly instead of just putting up a website with some stock images you need to have either some sort of warehouse and cleaning staff or negotiate and train contractors in each city to provide the service that your high paying guests expect.

Depending on how you structure the business you have to inspect each home before you put it up for rent and normally you reject 4 out of 5, because of location or other criteria.
Then stuff happens like: heating or A/C doesn't work and somebody has to be sent out to fix it in the middle of the night..

In a normal hotel you can do all of that with less then 10 minutes of work. But in this scenario you need to drive somebody to these homes.
Not a really scalable business.

I would say good luck Airbnb :)

There was a great talk by (David West) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdE-d_EhzmA&index=2&list=PLe...) that does make the point that objects have little, if any, value as a programming concept Because all the arguments about objects occurred in the context of programming they focused on things that really don't matter much, like single versus multiple inheritance, dot notation versus explicit messages for getting and setting or invoking methods; class hierarchies, friends, even the idea of a class.

He is more in favor programming of conceptualizing the real world as entities interacting with each other then designing systems that model those interactions. Thinking in objects allow one to design better systems that may not nesseary be represented as OOP in the language.

Jumping to the conclusion of his talk, he more or less advocating in using Abstract Data Type instead of objects. That's what I got from it anyway. Though it kind of reinforces that OOP changes depending on who you talk too.

So, it just needs to be (significantly) better than the average human. I think it's even better because each time an unexpected crash happens all cars can learn. We can't even teach people not to drive drunk.

Is it that scary to not know how and when it can crash? You don't think about being blindsided at each intersection...
"Let's Build a Compiler"[1] by Jack Crenshaw is fantastic. It uses Pascal as the implementation language, but I used Rust, and while the book targets 68000 assembly, I compiled things to x86_64 assembly.

Question: Can a gag order in the US force a person to lie? If they say publicly there are no outstanding gag orders, FBI warrants, or other compromizing orders (and assuming I'd trust them apart from that), can I trust that they are telling the truth?
I'm in the same boat. 6 months into a 7 days a week routine of bootstrapping my business. It's beginning to pay off but being so selfish with my time has definitely frayed relationships. Luckily these are friends I've known long enough to understand that the frequency of our friendship says nothing of its quality.

Plus don't underestimate the power of a WhatsaApp group or email to rekindle connections.

> this is not really a major concern of mine at this time, but I suspect it may be a regret later.

Possibly. If you succeed though (and I hope you do), the door opens to more connections. Not that friendships are interchangeable but to own your time and be a successful business owner provides the tools and experience to meet many like-minded individuals.

Depending on your age and interests, the 'digital nomad' scene is an excellent way to meet interesting peeps who will '"understand the obsession and inability to "turn it off."'

> it reads like humans evolve to develop a particular trait, when we know that people who developed that trait got an

people who developed that trait had to evolve to do so, no? Not as an entire population, but maybe over the live span of individuals.

Maybe the smoke itself caused that, as exposure often does, "evolving" in some individuals who then pass immunity markers down over generations through blood in the womb rather than genetically. Or maybe the smoke is cancerous and caused beneficial mutations. I should read the paper (edit: it says genetic). All I'm trying to say is, either development is subsumed under evolution.
>"The average monthly car payment in the fourth quarter rose above $500 for the first time"

I literally cannot imagine paying $500 a month for a car payment, even as a young single person making $100k. People are insane.
I understand, and I really wasn't going for bare necessities (that's why I threw transportation and entertainment in there). I guess what I'm saying is that perhaps there's something wrong with society's perceptions of what a "modest" house actually is.

To illustrate, the median house price in the US is around $250k. That's pretty much in line with the rule of thumb that your house should cost at most 5x your gross annual income. So it would seem (at a first approximation) that most houses in the US are affordable, in the strictest, 30-year-mortgage sense of the word, to most households (considering $50k to be the median household income). And a $250k house in most parts of the country is by no means "modest"; we're talking 1500-1800 sq. ft., 2-3 bedrooms, a yard etc. (again outside expensive areas). So if a median-earning household were to spring for a truly modest home (1-2 bedrooms, 1000-1300 sq ft, $100-150k range) it would actually be cheap relative to their income and they could pay it off in < 15 years.

Maybe I'm simplifying too much, or perhaps your experience is different. In which case, of course, we would have differing opinions on this matter.
Care to elaborate what your unusual (non-criminal) skills are ?

Because it's a new paradigm of value creation that has broad ramifications across all of society, so the tax structure should reflect that.

Tax policy shouldn't be static, it should keep pace with the society and culture it serves as they change over time.
>You're underestimating the importance of a conceptually simple language. If you put a new developer on a project in any other language that he has never used before, he will need at least a week to get up to speed. With Go, I had colleagues sending me pull requests with real, useful feature additions to my Go programs within 1-2 days of them installing the compiler.

Sure, but maybe you're overestimating the complexity of Generics (on the programmers, not the implementation of the compiler side)?

What makes you think those same programmers could not grok them? They could grok CSP (channels etc), implicit interfaces, pointers, reflection, unsafe pointer work, and closures, but suddenly Generics are too much? Seems rather arbitrary -- especially since the language already has generic functions.

It's also the matter of initial familiarity (productive in a few days) with eventual expressiveness and power (how much more productive in a few months and more)?

Because your argument seems to me like saying Go is Nano: one can start editing immediately.

Sure, but Vim/Emacs are worth the investment in learning them, even if one feels lost for a little while when starting with them.

I don't like the way Microsoft has lately begun treating both their devs and customers, but nevertheless they are a corporation - they have to someway make a profit - a business survives by adapting to their users and telemetry ("spyware") is data; data on which they (should) adapt to their user needs.
The one you mean is called "Factory Method Pattern" in the Gang of Four book. The other one should be called "Simple Factory" or something like that.

They are very different things which unfortunately have very similar names.
They didn't tell one thing: how long can it sustain data unpowered at what BER?
That would be the same fallacy is there was only one other such language I could mention.

But between C#, Java, C++ and tons of others, it seems people do need "second" and "third" such languages...
How could anyone not know that your private messages represent valuable data to Facebook that they're going to use for ad revenue and service improvement?

Your messages are not private on any service that doesn't guarantee privacy. Most services do not.

Heck, your use of an app is often recorded and saved.

Using these services and presuming to be in private is foolish. People other than Facebook don't respect the privacy when they copy and paste your messages to a friend of theirs. Written messages have never been a way to conduct private business that you don't want leaked or passed on to a third party.
These adversarial inputs have been shown to generalize to separately trained models.
Do you know of a good way to search/find such entrepreneur meet-ups? I find myself craving this sort of interaction more and more as time goes on.
You have to be more clear with your terminology. The thing you are talking about is called "Factory Method Pattern". Don't call it just "Factory Pattern" because it is not really a factory. Instead it uses a factory to achieve a very specific goal.
