Go is incapable of ever achieving C like speeds, and that's not because of runtime safety checks like bounds checking. It's because Go still has a garbage collector, and that always comes with a price tag.
Go also often has to copy structs and buffers that would be zero-copy in C, C++ and Rust code. Passing slices to functions which requires arrays or converting between strings and byte slices requires copy for instance.
There's also the matter of poor control of stack vs. heap allocation and poor escape analysis to mitigate that.
All in all, Go provides very impressive performance when compared to other high-level languages, but calling it C-level performance is pure hype.
"hyper-aggressive "excuse me, I wasn't finished""

I wouldn't call that aggressive, certainly not hyper aggressive. To me aggressive means attacking, this I would consider defending. Do be polite however, and act as though it was an accident.

I really, really wouldn't :) Some people are just passionate about their ideas, and extroverts seem to have even more energy for social interaction. They might just be having a hard time staying quiet, treat it as a mistake rather than maliciousness.

There is only one "draw call" in D3D12, ID3D12GraphicsCommandList::DrawInstanced. Strictly speaking, DrawInstanced isn't even a call anymore, it is just part of a recorded command buffer.

When they say draw calls, I imagine they mean that they added D3D12 command stream handling to the firmware on the GPU. It's arguably nonsensical to say "it’s designed to incorporate basic, oft-used DirectX12 draw calls into the GPU command processor itself".
This is fundamentally impossible in a CAN bus, and is stupid and functionality-limiting anyway. Everyone likes it when the radio turns off when the ignition does, these systems need to be able to talk to each other to get the functionality you expect.

What you need is to move away from the non-authenticated bus paradigm entirely, to a network-based system where some devices may be assumed to be hostile (which is what you have, like it or not).

This inherently involves authentication and privilege systems, so that the pedal controllers can prove to the brake controllers who they are, so that when the radio/head unit tries to interface with the brake controllers the brake controllers can go "woah, hey, you're not supposed to be touching the brakes".

This at least would require escalation from a trivial system like the head unit to a more crucial system, which is a more typical model for exploits in computer OSs.

This is a workable threat model. "Trust everyone all the time" is no longer, and hasn't been since we allowed external connectivity to automobile systems.

In the penultimate paragraph, they say, "As a result, the authors were able to prove that when you begin by fixing the angle in advance, the maximum number of equiangular lines is 2d – 2 for one particular angle (approximately 70.7 degrees), and no more than 1.93d for any other angle."

Earlier, they show that in 3 dimensions, you can arrange 6 lines. 2 > 1.93, so I guess either I or they misunderstood something.

I don't know what is meant by "there are plans to integrate WASM with the other GC's in the browser". Is the idea that the browser runs a GC for DOM elements that is separate from the JS VM GC? I wonder if they could follow a model like operating system resources (e.g., file handles) where the process is responsible for managing the resource lifetimes. This would make resource management trivial, and running (for example) Python on WASM would simply mean emitting WASM instructions instead of x86.

Of course, lots of other problems remain, for example, downloading an entire runtime or "putting Python on WASM isn't going to magically make it fast". But I don't think the GC should be a particularly large challenge.

That's a shame! I've had the privilege of having and hearing many great discussions with scientists and their answer is almost always quite humble on this, but perhaps requires a bit of lateral thinking to arrive at. The idea is that yes, life could take forms we haven't thought of or forms that are extremely different from the life we see on Earth, but two things stop that from being studied as much as we might hope given how fundamentally interesting the concept is.

First, we simply don't have evidence for such life, so we can't say that it does exist. We also can't say that it doesn't, and certainly not that it couldn't, but those are topics that make for good science fiction rather than incredibly fruitful topics for scientific inquiry. With that said there's certainly some really interesting stuff going on all the same! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenobiology

That leads to the second thing that's stopping it from being a heavily studied topic, which is that it's currently getting crowded out by the search for conventional life that happens to not be on Earth. The argument here goes 'yes, life elsewhere might not look like life here, but we know a heck of a lot more about life here than we do about how other, highly different life forms could work, so it makes more sense to focus our study on life that looks like the greater 'us' of earth-bound life.'

I've really enjoyed the discussions I've had on this topic, so I hope this was interesting to you. Sorry your teacher acted like a jerk!
I think the allusion was to what their all-in tax rate is.

You'd probably want to disallow/discourage structs as well, favoring striped arrays, because the $aaaa,x addressing mode is a lot more efficient than doing pointer arithmetic in zero-page. (Would be cool if the compiler could figure this out, too...)
I've tried a lot of the newer tools, of which I like Sketch and Framer the best. However, nothing seems to beat paper+pencil and then directly going to code. Somehow, static design tools have never been able to capture what's possible in web, and what's possible now with canvas, SVG, CSS3 transforms, etc is even more than before. Recently, CSS Grid Layout went gold in major browsers, and Flexbox has been supported for a while, so there's no good reason for CSS frameworks anymore either (would read http://jensimmons.com/ for more on this).

Not really. The quality of life on just about any axis, from parks and recreation to culture to education in Ft. Lauderdale is just inferior. Also, $50k doesn't go as far as you think there. There are a number of day-to-day and intangible costs (e.g. commute) that are actually less expensive in the valley.
This may be a technique to support tracking of technical debt IN your source code IFF it can be attributed to a specific place. Some of the more vexing debt is across the code, in the systems around the system being build or in the tool chain and needs other types of tracking.

This is not entirely true. Sellers have the option to send in items to the Amazon warehouses with the UPC as the barcode OR with an FNSKU barcode. The FNSKU is a unique barcode that identifies that particular product to you, the seller.

If you send items in to the warehouse with the UPC, they will be considered co-mingled which means anyone else sending the same product with just the UPC will all be stored together. THIS is where you have the issue of the possibility of buying counterfeit products.

If you send the items in with the FNSKU, they will be considered separate from the co-mingled inventory. Anyone that buys from a seller that has the FNSKU will get the items THAT seller sent in, and not from the co-mingled batch.

For retail items, it's really up to the seller how they want to send the items in. For the sake of seller metrics, it would be wise to send in items with an FNSKU so you avoid the issue of a customer buying from you as the seller, but possibly getting a counterfeit item.

To clarify another incorrect statement in this thread: Amazon does not charge extra to not co-mingle the items. They do offer a service where they will add the FNSKU label to your items at .20/piece, but that's only if the seller doesn't want to do it prior to sending the items in.

DockerCon Recap
"Game piracy and video piracy is still high. That's because these industries hasn't evolved with the internet like music has. Games are doing fine, thanks to Steam, but there are cases like Battlefield 1 for example. If you would want everything in that game, you'd have to pay $140 + $20 / month (Game + DLCs + Premium). How about I just pay $20-30/month for Steam and I can play all games in their library and the money gets split between games depending on how much I play them?"

They can charge that because people will pay it. If you're not willing to pay it, that's fine, but that means you don't get everything. Which is just like everything else in life.

I'm sorry, but you're just not entitled to games. If you don't like the pricing, that's fair, but don't pretend that gives you some kind of license to just take it anyway.
Today it is.
You are describing policy issues with a technical solution. The solution to policy issues such as those is to make it policy to only use the solution at appropriate times.

If you only allows TODO after a discussion (e.g. TODO: We decided to forego implementing X at this time, but we may need it later, as per project lead Y).

It does not prevent prioritization or ownership, and there's nothing to prevent a corresponding entry in some management system (and indeed, you can put the ID from that system in the TODO).

That said, often there's things you want to signpost specifically for future developers (including yourself) which may not rise to the level of needing a ticket assigned or external tracking (or that may be complicated due to bureaucracy or or you measure goals being met). There are plenty of reasons to have an additional channel to signal information directly to a dev. Just don't make that instead off the official channels of communication without good cause.

"At the outbreak of the Civil War, Grant wanted back in the Army, but the Army wasn’t interested. His reputation as a drunkard preceded him. Eventually they did offer him a unit to lead, one nobody else wanted. The 21st Illinois Artillery was one of the rowdiest, least disciplined, and most troubled units in the Union Army. When Grant took command on 14 June 1861, the restless men were only two weeks from the end of their enlistment. They couldn’t wait to go home. Then they met Grant. At the end of June, nearly every man signed up for another three years. “We knew we had the best commander and the best regiment in the State,” remarked one of them.

Grant turned the unit around by demonstrating a leadership style borrowed from Zachary Taylor in the Mexican-American War, marked by thoughtfulness, decisiveness, simple orders, and—above all—humility. This, his soldiers admired most of all. Grant shunned ostentation, flamboyance, and even a commander’s uniform. He dressed like his men did and looked “plain as an old shoe,” according to one Army doctor."

This is not true. They offer a service where they will add an FNSKU label to your products for .20/unit, which will mean your items will not be co-mingled. But as a seller, you can also apply the FNSKU to the items you send in and not be charged the additional .20/unit. It's up to the seller how they want to do it, but it's not a mandatory charge, just a convenience if you want Amazon to do it instead of yourself as the seller.

Sure, in the small, a few developers working - fully optimizing stuff usually works better.

But on bigger design spaces, when you let hundreds of thousands of people collaborate, create bigger markets faster, and grab more revenue - you enable a much more detailed exploration of the design space.

And often, you discover hidden gold. But also - if you've discovered you've made a terrible mistake in your abstractions - you can often fix that, maybe in the next generation.
Just FYI, you can get a more fuel and technology specific breakdown of generation and inputs from form 923, but it's timelagged and many plants don't show up in the monthly reports, so you have to wait for the annual.

Go because you love NZ (or X country) not because you want to leave America. Go because you like the lifestyle and traditions the locals live, not because you want to transport your high earning consumer abundance life into a different country. You will be doomed for failure if you do.

My quick skim shows they're gaining information about transactions in Middle East and Panama. One is essentially a hotbed of competing interests among imperialists and terrorism. The U.S. invaded two countries over there. There's proxy war going on in another. Far as Panama, it's one of leading spots for rich people, threatening or just tax-dodging, to set up offshore accounts, companies, and so on. They use it to hide their transactions. FinCEN has been fighting for access to tax haven data for years. No surprise NSA is monitoring illegal, money moving given targets of interests might be involved in it in that specific place.

And wool clothes are even more efficient that wearable heaters.
The garbage collector does not impact the speed of tight code - when it runs it of course takes cpu power, but it runs in parallel to the program code, so this comes pretty cheap. And the GC only consumes any resources, when you allocate heap space. This is generally not necessary, and also comes with a steep price when done in C. Coding efficiently in Go requires some different best practices in C, so this might have gotten you the impression of inefficiencies, but once you have adapted to the good Go practices, there is very little difference.
