Private property includes land and the machinery used in order to exploit labour within capitalism; I don't believe that those who hold the 'right' to this property do so legitimately, as they can only back up their claim via (i) the state (which has not been shown to be legitimate) and (ii) title transferred from a previous owner. The latter is a result of violent defence of property that someone claimed as his own long ago; again, the legitimacy of this has yet to be shown.

I regard the following as illegitimate: (i) private property used in order to create profit via exploitation of labour in exchange for wages, and (ii) private property which is neither used (i.e occupied) nor laboured upon.

My aim is not to have property shared amongst people, but rather to abolish the concept altogether, along with all concepts of morality and justice.
You complain about taxes supporting rural people, and then you complain that rural people vote against the social services. There is a connection between social services and taxes.

Since non-rural people are voting for the social services, it is perfectly fair that they pay. The rural people are trying to save money, and you resist.
I want to agree with what you say but "ridding toxins" etc is classic bullshit. You may be releasing some helpful or at least stimulating chemicals in response. You may be activating different neuropathways, epigenetics, etc, even, to play down the buzzword path.
That seems like a very reasonable process. Nothing unusual anyways.
I would shorten it to:

> How (learning) Go made you better programmer?

It didn't. Go offers nothing that a dozen other languages haven't already offered, and fails to include important features that are standard in every other modern language. It is simplistic to a fault.

You are redefining terms in ways that I'm not comfortable with.

Linear perpetual motion isn't.

Dead perpetual motion non-machine is indistinguishable from object at rest. If you don't agree with that you are disagreeing with just about all of physics and any speculation that follows is disconnected from reality as we currently understand it, which leaves a tiny little loophole but not enough to get your hopes up about.

If wishes were horses...

> An argument that everything needs maintenance is not enlightening.

Not everything comes in easy to understand ten word soundbites, any machine needs maintenance due to friction, and as soon as there is friction there is a loss of energy and so the system will run down.

A needle bearing is a really good bearing but it still wears out (and warms up slightly losing some system energy to heat) and will eventually cause your machine to run down.

A big enough flywheel on air bearings could run for a really long time but it too eventually would run down, and air bearings use some energy. Magnetic bearings would work too but would induce a little bit of drag causing some losses to heat.

A current in a superconductor will run for a really long time but - you've guessed it - eventually it will run down. Very low resistance != zero resistance.

Anyway, HN is one of the few forums where scientific discussions are grounded in facts and that makes it a good place to hang out. If you feel that you want 'equal time' for perpetual motion either by redefining the term in such a way that it becomes meaningless or in a way that it no longer qualifies as perpetual motion to begin with I'm fine with that but it makes the discussion rather pointless.
While ads might be that, but all I wanted to say is that it could be monetized somehow like a pdf on leanpub for 0-20$ pay what you want, I would have gladly paid.
No offence but it only seems "more obvious and less error-prone" to you because you likely have experience with functional programming and dealing with maps (typical of functional programming).

There are plenty of programmers for whom this is cryptic, and they prefer an old-school "simple and straighforward" for loop (typical of imperative programming).

You would be surprised. There's compelling evidence that small doses of things that normally weaken you (e.g radiation, alcohol, etc.) are actually beneficial to your health. [0]

The point is that a map can be type safe because it's built into the language, and that the designers could do exactly the same with a maybe/option/result feature.
I have a hard time imagining Go really reaching the niche you've described such that it has a chance at satisfying it. Million line codebases don't appear out of nowhere: the language has to be useful and natural enough that developers want to continue working on a project in it until it reaches that size.

That being said, plenty about Go seems to make it easier to get there: the lack of reasonable tools for abstraction certainly makes copy-paste programming much more likely, along with the ensuing explosion in LOC.
I can see why walmart would want to invest in startups as opposed to purchasing them when they are worth billions. But why silicon valley I wonder? There is a competition there already.
I am also surprised stores like Walgreens have been fairly inactive in trying to keep up with tech. Even simple stuff like their photo apps so you can print stuff in their store could use some upgrades.
>We should support things that make sense and promote the reduction of income inequality. That need not be at odds with globalization, though many businesspeople tend to push it that way since it's cheaper and good for them.

Doesn't need to be at odds with globalization, and yet all the evidence so far seems to point that way. Society is a nebulous construct of many actors. Some will try to build a more equitable future, others will not. The others are undoubtedly those who can figure out how to rise to the top. They are the ones controlling globalization efforts.

The neo-liberal dream is just that, a dream. When push comes to shove most people aren't actually for equality, they just say they are.
Well, the problem is that a lot of times there is no research into them and by the time there is research, the useful properties are extracted so that a better modern solution is available.

Basically, the only way to prove that it works is by showing that modern medicine adopted the approach after systematic evaluation and at that point it is part of modern medicine.

For example, Artemisinin wasn't known to be useful until 1979 but was a traditional Chinese medicine in plant form for a very long time.

Another example that still isn't fully accepted is cupping. Wikipedia page on it suggests that it is not useful beyond placebo. But here [1] is a recent study that says it's effective. Let's imagine that it is very effective for some kinds of pain. A modern medicine alternative might be to take some kind of painkiller that might damage the liver in large doses.

For sore throat, someone might take NiQuil. Some doctors would prescribe antibiotics just in case it's a bacterial or might have a bacterial follow-up. Alternative medicine solution is to grind up garlic and eat cabbage soup. Garlic h as Allicin which kills strep throat. This, I think, is less intrusive. But I don't know if anyone did a large-scale study where they compared the two common solutions head to head.

> Art is a very fuzzy concept, and has been redefined over and over so many times that nailing down a correct definition and saying "this is" and "that ain't" is like trying to grab hold of a greased eel.
So true. And yet, the idea of "art" seems so innocently easy to explain, until you try. I remember St. Augustine's definition of time, which could apply to art as well: "If no one ask of me, I know; if I wish to explain to him who asks, I know not." (Confessions, Book XI, Chapter XIV)

Yes, there are a few others too.

The Walking Dead series makes you contemplate the consequences of quick moral choices more than most games I've played.

Will Wright has commented on The Sims' relationship with materialism:

> People frequently comment on the materialistic bent of "The Sims," but if anybody has played it in that direction as far as they can, they realize that every object you buy is a potential time bomb. They all can break or have some failure state. And so if you start pulling up your house and buy all the stuff, pretty soon you find that you're spending all your time fixing this stuff and they become a giant time sink instead of time savers--which I think has something to say about materialism.

And another Will Wright quote that sums up the whole situation:

> "Games are not the right medium to tell stories," said Wright in a CNN interview, adding that they're "more about story possibilities."

> "Television is a very different thing from video games. It's kind of hard for me to compare."

> Not sure what stops you from searching for something. All stores have good search functions.

Searching a store for music and spotify's music discoverability are not really the same thing.

Searching a store for music is like going to a bookstore, going into a genre you think you might like and then picking out a book, buying it, getting it home and finding out you don't like it, double disapointment in that you've just lost money buying something you didn't like. That's a problem spotify solved.

> What other discoverability do you need?

Spotify's discoverability is like having a librarian who has read millions of books and has seen the thousands of books you've read, then personally handing you a book there's a good chance you'll like.

On top of this you're able to read it right then and there, if you don't like it she hands you another one to check out, and another, and another, all of those based on your personal tastes with a high success chance you'll like it.

I came into this like you with a mindset of "My tastes in music aren't mass market", that must be why I struggle to find good new music, but turns out I had a problem finding it. You can see from my last.fm that in all of 2008 I had listened to 128 artists at least once, last week alone I listened to 187 artists.

It's hard to convey just how good spotify is, music discovery personanlised for you and all the music you do like, delivered in under 200ms, at a fixed cost per month that plays on all the devices I have (even my work PC) without the need to transcode, upload, download, move/copy/manage or do any work on my behalf.

It looks like you're making the same point as burke and the original article: Go lacks common-sense features that would make writing safe, simple code easy.
If you were to read the article, you would see that your initial question is covered:

"So, what does the tasteful, expert connoisseur Roger Ebert have to say about the relationship between the cinema and art?

Just this: “Hardly any movies are art.”

Here’s what the late Pauline Kael wrote about the relationship between movies and art. Listen carefully.

“There is so much talk now about the art of the film that we may be in danger of forgetting that most of the movies we enjoy are not works of art ... Movies are so rarely great art, that if we cannot appreciate great trash, we have very little reason to be interested in them.”

So, here we have two of the world’s most highly-regarded film critics, sadly assuring us that most movies are not great art."

>It is unclear to me that an idea that's useful in one of these niches should automatically be assumed to be useful in another.

Yes, but you originally asked us to do the opposite: to not modify a language based on the benefits shown in a different language; That an idea useful in one niche should automatically not be assumed to be useful in another.

Which of course is just as baseless as automatically assuming it will be (useful|viable|worth the effort).

Haskell is particularly irratating to see used for that opinion as well, given that is notable for being a research language; a language who at least partially exists to seek out, identify and implement ideas that can be transplanted into other languages, though of course it would naturally take a different shape once integrated.
That must be very subjective, as I have the exact opposite reaction. I mean, there are portions of rust that are dense and cluttered, such as function definitions with the ownership rules, but the content of those functions I find very clear and concise.
I used it for a while, ended up switching to Haskell, which had a lot of similar benefits despite being so different.

If you're going to use it, I highly recommend the D Programming Language (book). It's extremely well written, and remains once of my favourite technical books.

I basically did this at my job. The open office chatter and sounds really affects me, and I really don't feel like pumping more sound into my ears all the time just to drown out the sound I don't want to listen to. So, I started grabbing the same small private space in our office every day and worked there all day long. Now everyone knows it as my "office", even though it's mostly said as a joke.
The statement that motion is relative is true, but using it to argue that nothing has motion is what doesn't make sense. An object does not have to be alone in an entire universe to have no acceleration, or utterly negligible acceleration. And if it's not alone, it's trivial to have motion, even if you're not 100% sure which objects are moving.
I think Smalltalk is a bad example for this. I've been told by Smalltalk programmers that everything in that eco system used to be insanely expensive. A better example is probably Haskell or Lisp. As you are probably trying to imply the learning curve seriously matters. Go is a true winner here.
I would encourage you - and, really, anyone who is interested in any kind of immigration reform - to explore the existing laws and processes and find out how they work. I'm often amazed at how little most Americans (on both sides of the political spectrum) know about their immigration system - mostly the bits that come from the news, and which are, of course, cherry-picked to support some political narrative. The bulk of it is not really all that interesting, and so goes completely unobserved, but it's what most of us who have to go through this are actually dealing with.

The easiest way to do so is to put your immigrant hat on. Pretend that you're a foreigner who knows English, and see how you'd go about immigrating to US. Literally starting from a google search along the lines of "US immigration", and then go from there. When you see various different options presented to you (like student, family, investor etc), conjure virtual personas corresponding to either one of those, and see how far you can get down either track, what are the things that are required of you, what quotas apply if any, how much it costs in fees, what the processing times are etc. Consider how you'd plan around all that. Also see how it works if you're married - how you bring your spouse to the country, whether they can work at all before they can get a green card, what about children etc.

Once you get to the end of it, try doing the same thing, but for "legally bring my parents/siblings/... to the country". Again note the various options, requirements, fees, processing times etc.

It can also be instructive to do it for a few other English-speaking countries (or those that have their immigration materials available in any language that you can understand), just to see how they all compare.

It's a lot like gun control. Based on your politics, I think it's a safe bet that you get annoyed when left-wing politicians talk about "weapons or war" or some such, without any actual knowledge of how guns work or how to operate one, beyond "it's a shoulder thing that goes up". To write meaningful gun legislation, one has to understand guns well, right? Well, same thing applies here.

Dumb question, but what is the meaning of AT&T "toll records" used to link the user to an iPhone 6?

> "AT&T responded and a review of the subscriber information showed the telephone number was associated with a Tracfone prepaid account with no subscriber information. However, a review of the AT&T toll records showed an associated Apple iPhone 6A Model 1586"

That is, if you are a Tracfone user and Tracfone uses AT&T to provide service, AT&T effectively sees the Tracfone user information?

Also, Twitter tracks the type of client used to send a tweet and reveals it in the metadata accessible to the public API -- the `source` attribute [0], e.g. "Twitter for iPhone", "Twitter Web Client", "TweetDeck". And Twitter probably captures more about the device/client that isn't publicly revealed, such as the browser agent for when a tweet is sent via the web client.

If the suspect had tweeted using the iPhone client, or via the iPhone Safari browser, would the police have enough info to subpoena Apple for Apple Account tied to that specific phone number? In other words, skipping the process of subpoenaing AT&T/Tracfone because the suspect was dumb enough to register the Twitter account using that phone number?

That website smells hokum to me. The prominent ads for magnesium supplements on that page are disconcerting, as are several references to "Dr. So-and-So" with no links to anything even pretending to be peer-reviewed articles. (Actually the "About Me" page is pretty much a flashing red neon sign when you go to it).

But even discounting that, the claim that magnesium is "used up" converting Vitamin D sounds, well, wrong. The closest thing I can find to a need to convert vitamin D into an "active form" is the conversion of cholecalciferol to calcidiol and thence calcitriol. The relevant enzymes all seem to be heme cofactors using iron in the heme, not magnesium. I also don't see any peer-reviewed articles looking at magnesium impacts on vitamin D uptake. There's a few old ones (~1991, with some even earlier) that suggest that vitamin D might affect magnesium intake.

It might be that magnesium is associated with the vitamin D precursor enzymes, since magnesium is a fairly widespread inhibitor of certain enzymes (in particular, it looks like it impacts parathyroid hormone, which is also impacted by Ca²⁺ ions in the normal case of action for vitamin D). But if that's the case, it's not that magnesium is being "used up" by vitamin D but rather you need a certain amount of it in your bloodstream to keep your calcium metabolism working.
