It depends on what you mean by "read and understand".

My approach with something like this is to breeze through it a first time, just to understand the main point of each section and how it all fits together. If you spend 30s/page on average (obviously there will be a lot of variation), that's 7.5 hrs -- two mornings, afternoons, or evenings.

And for most people, that will provide 90% of the value. And you know what to look up, where, when you need it in the future. And you also know whatever part you might be personally interested in more, and you can go back and read those sections in more detail.

This approach works well with all types of non-fiction, and it can actually be really helpful to first "skim" through every non-fiction book you read, before reading in detail -- knowing in advance where the author is going can often help remove a lot of confusion.
Yea, I see it more as inspiration or a catalyst.

Apologies for that, we were still in the process of drafting a Terms of Use when we put up the site. That will be updated shortly to have more information. We plan on releasing our content under the Creative Commons license similar to Sam's previous Startup Class.
The interface reminds me a lot of FL Studio (which I currently use on Ubuntu via Wine, works great). Hydrogen looks interesting, but I think most DAWs simply have almost all of these features and far more. That being said, this looks to be FOSS, which I really admire. I'll have to check this out after work.
Basically this. Never mind that you could walk past piles of Lenovos, Samsungs, Acers, Asus', etc etc etc, and never notice. But Apple, thanks to that glowing fruit logo on the lid, basically screams "witness me!".
The stat that jumped out at me the most, among respondents to the survey, twice as many identified as LGBTQ* as identified themselves as women. Self-identified women respondants to the survey rounded to 1%.
I actually think this is a great question and I'm glad you asked it because it's such a common response to privacy. It's gotten good responses.

The government is not perfect. It's made of people. People who may be racist, sexist, homophobic, desperate for money, greedy, or corrupt.

- Someone's ex burned them, now they hate everyone of __ gender and go out of their way to dig through information of those people and get them in trouble.

- Someone is anti-LGBTQ+ and uses information to hunt people down and get them killed.

- A racist particularly hates a certain race, and now goes after them in particular for small law breaking things -- jaywalking when no cars are coming, not using their blinker, not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. And while those are all crimes, now people of that race are being punished disproportionately.

- Businesses with their hands in the government now have information to use against their competitors and create monopolies

- Limits free speech - can't even discuss things privately.

- Further removal of all freedoms because now you can't get away with anything even if it's a controversial thing such as drugs, sexuality, art/music, and protest.

etc.
First of all, don't use introversion as a crutch. It may be net-negative energy for you to perform in situations that extroverts find energizing, but this doesn't keep you from doing them. You just need to recharge afterwards.

I think the reasoning is that as a founder you are, like it or not, constantly having to sell your idea, company, and personal involvement. You have to sell to investors, to potential employees and of course to customers. You even have to sell to vendors, since you want to use their services as cheaply as possible.

If you can't do that, you need to find a co-founder who can. Otherwise you can go and do a startup by pure bootstrapping, but don't expect to get sympathy because you can't sell when investors need selling just like anyone else. I can't play basketball because I don't have the physical attributes necessary for the sport, oh well. Life doesn't owe me that opportunity and you're not owed an investment.
Lots of great info here, thanks to the Go team and Steve Francia in particular for taking the time to compile all this data into something intelligible. Some interesting data about what improvements users would like:

What changes would most improve the Go documentation?

Collectively examples gets 26%

What Go libraries do you need that aren't available today?

Lots of demand for UI libraries and mobile support - both very hard to get right and would really require corporate backing. Sometimes I suspect large corporations (MS/Apple/Google) churn their OS APIs/languages simply to keep devs busy learning their one platform. This would be hard to do and hard to support long term.

What changes would improve Go most?

The G word comes first (not being worked on), and then package management (being worked on), also library discovery is highlighted as an issue. I'd prefer if they took a step back and prepared a Go 2.0 which removed some of the inevitable cruft (comments as directives, struct tags), and rethought some other features - mostly taking things out rather than adding things, though it would be nice also to see a solution to generics and better containers built-in.

And https://golangnews.com makes an entry in news sources, even if it is near the bottom :)

It'd be nice to see the raw data too (some of the data points require a bit of tidying up (mostly the write in responses for which 1-2 word breakdowns don't really help much and split up similar responses like example/more examples/examples/code examples/tutorials) and words like 'great' are not really helpful without context. Now that they have the data presumably they could merge some of those categories or if they released it others could look at this sort of thing for them.

Related to RSI in computer workers?
The problem is that if our brains are not "magic" (essentially making this a religious argument), then they're operating via some algorithmic principles. If our brains are "algorithm generating algorithms", then I can in principle write an "algorithm generating algorithm" in silicon that does the same thing. And I know with mathematical certainty that my digital version is subject to NFL. So either my brain is too or we go back to religion to explain what non-physical process is responsible for our super-turing capabilities.

The second point is that NFL is often interpreted in a weird way, where we only think about "interesting problems". It is defined on the set of all search or optimization problems. It says if your algorithm is better than exhaustive search over some subset of problems, it must be worse on the complement of that set.

What does it mean for an algorithm to be efficient? Well, it's roughly speaking the number of steps it needed to take (assuming each step is the same amount of work, blah blah). OK, so an "efficient" algorithm must, by definition, prioritize some steps over others -- it's picking the "best" steps to take each time it has the choice. OK, so I'll just make up some instances of the problem that are custom-tailored so that what the algorithm thinks are the "best" steps always lead me in the wrong direction. You algorithm will then be worse than exhaustive search on my set of problems, precisely because it's choosing to avoid the steps I know to be good -- I defined the problem to make that happen.

That is true of any algorithm you can conceive of. There will be problems for which the bias that makes the algorithm good on the problems you intended it to work on will be exactly the wrong bias.

It doesn't matter if you say, "Aha, I'll let my algorithm generate new algorithms! Gotcha!" I'll just design a set of problems for which your algorithm generating algorithm will generate the wrong algorithms.

Search is always about bias. Without bias, you have random search -- that's literally the textbook machine learning definition of bias. All NFL says is that if you have to worry about every possible problem, any bias you choose will be worse than random sometimes. There's no escape clause here. Your algorithm generating algorithm is still a search algorithm with its own biases, and it will still be worse than random on some subset of all possible problems.

Wow, your campus used one lock type and the same master key for all buildings? That's great foresight and coordination across multiple levels of business, construction and maintenance teams. What about older buildings with completely different types of locks? They switched those out as new buildings came up, or are all the buildings new?

The article claims the most well known incident is when eight grey wolves introduced to Yellowstone were tracked down and shot through of their GPS transmitters:

> "Cooke said the worst known case of GPS interception by poachers was when eight grey wolves in Yellowstone national park were hunted down."

This claim of the use of GPS trackers to hunt wolves in Yellowstone, stated as the worst known case, appears to be fabricated.

The research journal article does not make the same claim cited in the linked article. (Which fails to link to or cite the article it is sourcing; it is "Troubling Issues at the Frontier of Animal Tracking" for those interested.) The journal article mentions instead "speculation in the media suggests that hunters may target tagged wolves from Yellowstone to interfere with research.... websites operated by some wolf-persecution groups provide strategies for figuring out tag codes." Speculation, not evidence or proof.

Efforts to reintroduce wolves into the Yellowstone area have been ongoing for decades and have been so successful that there are now legally sanctioned wolf hunts in order to help control the population. Of the wolves killed in the vicinity, some have had VHF radio collars which can be picked up in the near vicinity with radio trackers, and one, 832F, had a more modern GPS collar. Of the 11 wolves that were being tracked with either radio or GPS collars in Yellowstone, 4 were shot by hunters, all legally, in permitted hunts. This is not poaching. Poaching is illegal. Nor is there proof that any of these legal hunters used the collars to find the wolves. Suggestions they did so far have just been wild speculation by media, wolf enthusiasts, and journal authors who refer to legal hunters as "wolf-persecution groups", a tell of their viewpoint bias.
Are the Go devs finally starting to wake up to the realisation that maybe a better generics story, or less verbose and primitive error handling, is something people do, actually, want?

I get the impression the Go devs have been stoking the flames a bit by refusing to countenance the extension of the language even into areas where it was clearly lacking.
It's referring to being able to pin dependencies easily so that you have a stable set of dependencies which is defined. At present go get, while convenient, fetches from head, so things can break when you move computer for example and refetch dependencies, or a new team member comes on board, or if you have an open source project.

It seems like a lot of different kind of bad news have surfaced lately about the company (sexism, expense > income, CEO asshattery, screwing over drivers).
All of these seem legit, but seeing them all blow up over the space of a few months makes me think there might be a concerted effort to hurt the company.

Not saying the company does not deserve it though.

How I built a fully-automated system that restocks my coffee from Amazon
Well, "physics" really encompasses just about everything, including biology, so I am implicitly limiting it to things which would not fall into another, more specific field, such as engineering or meteorology. Right, word choice.

Using any definition for "physics" close to this, while the percentage of biological questions that involve complex systems is close to 100%, it is much lower in physics. The subsets of physics problems that do involve complex systems will suffer the same predictive problems.

In fact, this conversation has got me wondering whether "complex system" really means anything more than "a system whose behavior is hard to predict". I know that complex systems have other common attributes, but really the unpredictability seems to be the defining feature.

This is a long way of saying "I agree that we don't really disagree" :)

Users are overwhelmingly happy with Go: they agree that they would recommend Go to others by a ratio of 19:1, that they’d prefer to use Go for their next project (14:1), and that Go is working well for their teams (18:1).

Hmm. That's some great results, but is that survey representative of Go users as a whole? The respondents are self-selected, right?

I can imagine such a survey is reliable for things like best/worst features, how the language is used and other things that probably aren't correlated with enthusiasm for the language. Simply asking people who already chose to do a survey whether they like the language or not seems kind of pointless: if they didn't they'd presumably not bother spending time to say they didn't.

It is however illuminating how many of Go's developers are attracted by simplicity. The top adjectives for "like most" are: simplicity, easy, concurrency, simple, fast.

So that's 3 of the top 5 things people name basically being "it is simple".

On the other hand, the top "improve the most" adjective is generics.

This appears to put Go in a somewhat awkward spot. There's clearly a large population of developers who have been left behind by static typing and its consequent complexity (generics in particular being a fertile source of confusing error messages in most languages), and Go caters to these people, hence its attraction to former dynamic language users.

But at the same time, people are saying they want more complexity in the form of generics. If Go were to add good generics would it really be any simpler than Java? I'd struggle to identify any major complexity gap between them after that, unless you consider OOP to be too complex (unlikely given the Python/JavaScript backgrounds of many Go users?).

I wonder if it's the same people giving the top answers. Are Go users split into those who are happy with its current level of complexity and others who chafe against it? If so, is it possible for them to satisfy both camps simultaneously?

Except that there is a consensus on those things. It's just not unanimous.
Of course the game designers would have preferred the highest-resolution display available.

Unfortunately, the hardware of the time could barely keep up with the graphics. If the hardware wasn't generating graphics on the fly (like the early Namco, Nintendo, and Midway systems), it needed a large chunk of DRAM for the framebuffer, which was even more expensive.

Some systems like the early Williams units economized by using a 4bpp buffer combined with palette hardware, but you were still taking nearly 48K of RAM, which was a sea of chips back then.

A VGA-sized buffer on this system would need 150K of RAM. That's triple the cost! HD 1280p? 10x the cost not to mention pixel clock speed, which the TTL chips of the time just couldn't do.

That's not what the question asks. It asks "do you identify as part of an under-represented group" with an option for "I identify as a woman".

That's not the same as a straight gender m/f question. I can imagine that some women felt they weren't under-represented and didn't primarily "identify as a woman" even if they were one. Consider the reverse question with s/woman/man/ - how many men would pick "I identify as a man" vs "I do not identify as part of an underrepresented group". It's a leading question. Bear in mind on that question the vast majority of respondents were just a shrug: either no response, explicitly saying they didn't want to answer, or not identifying as part of such a group.
"The more risk you take on, the higher it has the chance to grow."
