At that resolution, you probably couldn't distinguish the TransAmerica Pyramid from the SalesForce Tower.

> tbh if you program Go correctly, you use interface{} pretty rarely.

It's a bit like saying "if you program C correctly, you use (void *) pretty rarely.". that's not the case, Go maintainers themselves keep on adding API with interface {} everywhere. Are you saying they are not programming Go correctly?

I hear this often, but while it's a literal fact, maybe it's not that simple. Central banks create money out of the Trust that people put on them, and the trust has been built by the state for years or centuries.
While that's true, user-agent isn't the only thing in the header that reveals PhantomJS[0].

Smalltalk in General and Scratch in particular take several steps in the same direction. There are clear advantages to not having to deal with the impedance mismatch, same as for dropping SQL and using database primitives. Depending on implementation choices (serialization format etc) you're trading more or less interoperability to get there.
Good question. I've seen passenger jets get pretty small to the eye sometimes, and they don't tend to go higher than 37,000 feet.

There's nothing stopping you from handling the errors, though. It's just that the ones you didn't anticipate won't typically bring down the system.
No. Unless someone finds a quote, the low order bit is that they didn't use the word "fuck" or any other swear word at all. You can't use the word "fuck" to accurately quote someone who didn't use that word.

Unfortunately, just importing the package can have side effects (due to `init()`), so making the programmer explicitly ignore the import is actually useful.
And if you look at C you'll see that interfaces and struct methods are also unnecessary, GC is also unnecessary, bound-checked arrays are also unnecessary.

The question is, do you want to write type safe code? which is memory safe? which has bound-checked array? or not? Assembly makes all that stuff unnecessary as well. This is not a good argument, especially when Go std lib is getting all these type unsafe API using interface {} everywhere. That is precisely what generics are for, to allow writing parametric functions (sort) or type safe containers instead of sync.Map like in the std lib.

If you care about type safety and code re-use then generic programming is a necessity. What do you think append, copy or delete are? these are generic functions. All people are asking is the ability to define their own in a type safe fashion.

Are these use cases Russ Cox don't know they exist?

I think you need to try it out to see what the big deal is. It's pretty liberating.

The thing is, there will always be the "unknown unknown" bugs, the ones you didn't even think to anticipate, and Erlang/Elixir/BEAM will always win out in a behavior contest on those vs. in Go, because it is built to anticipate any possible error, not just the possibilities you're aware of.
I guess the people who wrote the article didn't do much investigative journalism or they would probably figure out that regulatory burden is a major reason why. I also tend to think that everybody who owns a business thinks they deserve to be millionaires for taking the risk. Also, executive pay, doctor and lawyer pay, and politician pay have grown immensely, so I guess the rest of us are just SOL.
Android Auto and it's ilk are the future here. This is a neat hack, but having everything integrated into the head unit is great. We have two Kia's with this setup - it's early, limited, and has bugs, but is just awesome. Voice recognition works well.
They’re not directly correlated, but generally, when you see lengthy contrails behind an aircraft, it’s probably cruising at altitude. Again, not directly related – it’s an atmospheric phenomenon[0] – but visible contrails are a safe indicator an aircraft is at or near cruise and are quite common. (Their absence, on the other hand, is not necessarily a counterindication.) And yes, an aircraft will pretty much always be visible to the naked eye, even up to 45-50k where some business jets live now. You may have to squint, but your eyes are pretty good at finding fast motion against a static background.

Couldn't you control for that by weighting people's ratings by the range in which they provide them? Like weighting a 5-star review a bit more from someone who averages 3's than someone whose ratings average 4's? Far from perfect sure but I bet it could save a lot of results from needing to be thrown out.

Well stuff almost happened to me in Fairfax County VA and Newark DE, both areas with much lower violent crime rates than South Chicago. Particularly as a white mid-upper-class male who carries a laptop in his backpack I'd be a target in South Chicago. How about you take a walk through it and find out if you're so sure?

And those countries that article lists are the definition of apples to oranges when compared to the United States. The economic, cultural, gun ownership rate and racial situations are completely, utterly different. To use the logic that something works in any of those countries, particularly Iceland, therefore it'll work in the United states if just blindly applied, is the height of ignorance.
Most of these "occult" books are traditionally a bit of both: an author might take a well-known name (e.g. Belfagor) from folk tradition, and then straight-up invent most of what he actually writes.

Note that, at certain points in time, wealthy European rulers were very interested in this kind of material, as they sought to gain any advantage they could to stabilize their dominance in unruly times. People with narrative skills had huge incentives to manufacture material that such rulers could find plausible or intriguing, in order to obtain money and privileges. Hence most "occult" material is not coming from folk tradition.

This also explains why the subculture often reveres "The Book" as a primary actor in the actual stories: the cursed book of evil spells, the lost tome with alchemist recipes, the damned catalogue of demons... it was an industry blowing its own horn, so to speak. Folk stories are much more likely to bestow supernatural qualities to simple everyday items.

I should send this to rsc, but it's fairly easy to find examples where the lack of generics caused an opportunity cost.

(1) I started porting our high-performance, concurrent cuckoo hashing code to Go about 4 years ago. I quit. You can probably guess why from the comments at the top of the file about boxing things with interface{}. It just got slow and gross, to the point where libcuckoo-go was slower and more bloated than the integrated map type, just because of all the boxing: https://github.com/efficient/go-cuckoo/blob/master/cuckoo.go

(my research group created libcuckoo.)

Go 1.9 offers a native concurrent map type, four years after we looked at getting libcuckoo on go -- because fundamental containers like this really benefit from being type-safe and fast.

(2) I chose to very tightly restrict the initial set of operations we initially accepted into the TensorFlow Go API because there was no non-gross way that I could see to manipulate Tensor types without adding the syntactic equivalent of the bigint library, where everything was Tensor.This(a, b), and Tensor.That(z, q). https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/pull/1237
and https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/pull/1771

I love go, but the lack of generics simply causes me to look elsewhere for certain large classes of development and research. We need them.
It is py2 now, however, i'm gonna port it to py3 soon. I'm planning to write some better docs for it tomorrow.
That's super fascinating. I live next to (as in, across an alley from the border of) the "highest crime" neighborhood in Chicago, and nobody has ever once pulled a gun on me.
Same here, because I knew they intersected and presumed it was a trick question. Technically, I believe it is neither valid perl nor PHP because it's missing an opening brace on one of the if statements.

The analytic solution also isn't particularly difficult, just tedious to work through by hand.

There's 10 valid ways to choose the first digit. You either repeat that digit one or zero times. If once, there are 8 ways to do this, and then you have the same sub-problem except with 9 remaining characters to use and 7 remaining places to fill. If none, there's one way to do it, and then you have the same problem except with 9 remaining characters to use and 8 remaining places to fill.
<>, err = <>
if err != nil { return nil, err }
<>, err = <>
if err != nil { return nil, err }

Is not what software engineers should spend time on, definitely.

Not automating ubiquitous trivial propagations with at least explicit "rie <expr>" (rie for "return if error") is a complete engineering fail under any philosophy.

Oh, I have an idea. If ", err" part is missing from lvalue, insert that mantra automagically under #pragma ARIE=on. This workaround will give designers some stats to embrace.
Like you, I look askance at the author's assertion that the card catalog is "truly democratic". Lindgren writes

failing to explain that in order to access that card catalog, patrons would have had to travel from their homes all the way to Washington DC.

For someone living in rural Wyoming, Ohio, or even Southeast Virginia, the offline card catalog was hardly "more democratic" than a computer in a public library.

EDIT: Readability.

You could be exceptional or the algorithms might just be shitty at their intended purpose. Lots of possibilities.
The thousands of servers that run FedWire, ACH, VISA, MasterCard Paypal, Venmo, ApplePay and the Cash-transport Trucks, Physical banks, all waste energy preventing people from trying to steal money too.

These thousands of servers manage millions of concurrent transactions per second in multiple currencies across multiple jurisdictions worldwide.

The largest cryptocurrency network (Bitcoin) spends more energy than that to handle...10 transactions per second?

Bitcoin has no preventative measures, and as designed most cryptocurrencies can't implement preventative measures or refunds. That's not a positive. That's a massive step backwards.
If this map is any indication, there's a big difference between "living next to" and "walking through". I'll admit it does seem pretty contained.

I "walk through" that neighborhood many times every week. This may surprise you, but there are also plenty of white people on the south side, too.

This, by the way, is the legit Chicago shooting map:

http://heyjackass.com/

The awful truth of Chicago is that unless you're a black person aged 16-40, crime in Chicago poses very little risk to you, very much including at those times you find yourself in the highest-crime neighborhoods in the city. Which is what makes Chicago's use as a rhetorical device in conversations about violence so galling.
To be honest, occultism is less religion and more straight superstition. Which is why it was generally shunned or outlawed even when religious authorities were in charge.

What deserves a lot of the blame is the awful mysql_* API, which didn't support query placeholders. (The mysqli and PDO APIs weren't available until much later, and weren't reliably available on many web hosts for even longer.) This forced PHP developers to become comfortable with constructing SQL queries as strings -- a habit which proved hard to break for many of them.
Actually what really happened was instead of trying to catch em 'all with pokemon try/catching, they decided to treat errors like it was part of the actual code. Errors are values. You can actually code with them. Amazing, right?

You are visiting this site with a dispassionate eye of an observer. The usual demographic visiting a travel site is a lot more invested in actually finding a travel deal that works for them.

Let's take an extreme example - say you were thirsty for water right now. Would you take a "cold enough" bottle of water or would you wait for the perfectly ice-cold bottle of flavored water with brain boosting ions? The average visitor who goes to a website to transact is like the thirsty you. They are willing to overlook the "cold enough-ness" of the water as it were because they need their thirst sated.

1. The money is flowing up and out to the shareholders
2. The profits are being held offshore - probably would cause an issue if that money was sent back into retaining & hiring regular US citizens
2. The jobs have been sent overseas and the trend continues and will not stop ever
3. Many companies, especially in the financial services (too big to fail), are only hiring H1-B positions and/or filling positions with consultants from body shops. They don't bother with looking at US Citizens. This is info is based on my own personal experience

This is what really irks me about the design industry of late. It's become an overly self-critical echo chamber of people pushing this idea of what user experience "should be", yet totally miss the critical business decisioning behind it and ignore the fact that it drives conversions.

Just thought SpaceX had other revenue sources, I guess.
I just see a hastily laid out argument. The 1km/yr we have no idea what it really means, does that relate to previous centuries? or is it just the rate observed during recent times? (while global warming has already been detected)

The maps show the very location of these events, raised by several degrees C since 1950. The rate of this event is quite certainly strongly affected by local temperature, which is known to be elevated due to global warming. So the event has quite certainly been strongly affected by global warming.

I can conclude this very confidently because global warming is already a given for me. Only when we doubt global warming has raised the temperature of the location of these calving events does it make any sense to say, "this could be happening naturally"

However fast this could happen naturally - it is happening faster due to global warming.

It can't do the latter, except in a very basic way of pointing to proximity to the training set. ML is great at imitating, but good look getting it (or the people programming it) to be able to articulate any of the underlying principles. This is a perennial problem in the arts, which might be why the examples on this page are pretty ho-hum from an aesthetic point of view.
Fun fact: My dad worked on the TransAmerica Pyramid as an electrician. He once took me to work. I was always asking him about the very top.

That day, he took me to the top. He opened a steel door, and set up a 6' wooden ladder. He climbed up the ladder, and there was a 1' x 1' square that you could fit your head through. He stuck his head through, and said it wasn't that great. I knew he was playing it down, for my sake.

I asked him one more time if I could climb up and look.

He climbed down, picked me up, and he climbed the ladder, and put my head through the hole. The hole was unfinished, and it was dirty inside the space. I remember seeing a gum wrapper, and that fine construction dirt up there. Looking back it was probably Sheetrock dust.

I vaguely remember I could see the city, but the glass, or plexiglass, was dirty. It was neat though. The kids at school didn't believe me. He didn't want me to climb in, but I asked.

The best part of that day was being with my dad. We ate lunch, and my dad said, 'Well at least your mom took the wrapper off the cheese today.' (This was the late 60's, or 70's, and my mom hated being a homemaker.)
