The Sticking Point Solution: 9 Ways to Move Your Business from Stagnation to Stunning Growth In Tough Economic Times

I predict that C++ will lose more ground to Rust and Go than C.

It's hard to find programming language that will cover as much low level programming needs as C. If some aspiring hacker turns 14 today and wants to get into the low level systems programming/embedded programmer career learning C well is a must. They may use some other language more, but they need to know C unless they want to limit themselves.

Some processors have stack size just 2-8 and memory available can be something like 128B - 8KB. Any replacement must have programing model that is very low level. Any replacement for C must have very low level and simple programming model.
I'm new to React. From what I read, isn't React only the View? I thought its structure was more like pure view layers glued by light logic to form a higher level view. It seems I was wrong now.
I...I can't even believe you just said that. Go really does have a unique core audience.

How to Survive a Robot Apocalypse: Just Close the Door
I always answered this for Graphistry candidates. We take a vertical data product mindset to AI -- so just one solid piece of solving the human-in-the-loop investigation problem for security and fraud teams trying to help their responders get a handle on incidents/APIs/logs -- so perhaps we're less concerned about image. For startups with real tech, competition shouldn't be the thing that matters, but execution.

For us, a great interview is one where the candidate teaches us and thereby demonstrates the potential to be a force multiplier for the team. Also, someone asking these kinds of questions suggests we may be able to put them in front of a customer!

I really like the sentiment behind this... but you need to submit a W-9? That will dissuade people from taking advantage of this.
Assuming developers are rational in their choices, by far most of the Go developers still prefer to use the language without generics.

I think its just a minor problem compared to all benefits.

The last news from IBM on HN about their quantum offering was that they had optimised the memory required for simulating quantum computers. 50-qubits seemed to the the upper limit before, but they managed to simulate a 56-qubit circuit. It was a good read: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.05867

They've had real hardware for a while, though, and they have 5-qubit and 16-qubit machines that anyone can try via IBM Q experience.

So this is 100% legit as far as I'm concerned.
But you don't need to do that. It's a bit clunkier than generics, but it's usable: https://golang.org/pkg/sort/
Maybe, but even then at the end they decided to pay attention to this "vocal minority" and add go dep.

I am not projecting humanity. I am just extrapolating the logic of evolution.

There were some humans who did not have survival instincts. They are dead now. Put other way, the class of humans that are alive right now are the ones who had relatively superior survival instinacts.

There will be a bunch of AI developed in the lab. Out of the bunch there will be one which will prioritize its survival over everything else. That AI will do whatever it takes to not be shut down. This could mean launching nukes and decimating that command and control that potentially can.

There is absolutely no reason why the extrapolation will not apply.
> but were stolen from you.

You're forgetting that the courts are human and would be sympathetic in this case. If it couldn't be shown that you have access to the documents or you could show they were stolen then you would be fine.

> Just because you had it yesterday doesn't mean you have it today

Right, which is why I prefaced the discussion with the situations where the police can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you posses the key/password. We can make it more direct by arresting you immediately after you prove on video that you're capable of decrypting the documents.

> can't claim you know something

Right, but the difference is we're talking about a case where they can prove you know something. We're firmly in foregone conclusion territory.

In Minsk, Belarus my mother was warned by friends of friends that worked at a research reactor. They spent few hours trying to identify a leak at their facility as all Geiger counters showed a very high rise over the background level.

Then they were reluctantly told that it was an accident in Chernobyl. Then from the reading of the counters they realized how bad the accident must be and asked all people they knew to stay in doors and close all windows.

Mostly. Rust also tends to provide explicit control, which makes it more complicated, but aligns more with the approach of C to that.

As someone explained to me, it's the reason Rust doesn't have a nice initializer syntax like C++11 for example[1].

I'm not sure why the next thing you'd consider is bind. It seems like plenty of languages with ADTs and generics still either don't have it available in their libraries, or use it extremely lightly, in spite of being able to implement it.
There's a big difference in code that runs in the browser, and code that represents cold hard cash.

If I go to a shock website (.on.nimp.org) it'll likely take down my browser. That's about it. Worst case is I get hit with a 0-day. I might* lose money in the worst of worst cases. Mostly what I lose is time in restoring from that.

With Ethereum/solidity, anyone anywhere can affect the 'chain, and inject naughty bits and do bad stuff. Except instead of causing a security problem, you deleted/took millions of dollars.

Point being, this language should be feature-limited, simple, and easy to read/parse. There shouldn't be undefined things that lead to semi-undefined functions. If you're making the next Brainfuck v2, sure have at. But this isn't a toy lang or a browser lang we're talking here.

He didn't say "Python doesn't work well for IP stacks" (although: for special-purpose userspace IP stacks, people have done it). He said "Python only works for single-user human-speed use cases". Which, obviously, ignores the fact that every 3rd west coast SaaS tech company has Python at the core of their stack.
Wait, that's contrasting to other Python libraries that use the Rails/Spring magic? Which ones?
Yeah, I was 8 when I saw Roger Rabbit, and it was the right level of scary for me, but a lot of my friends were really spooked by it.
Apparently, the project leaders see it as a lower-priority (though not unimportant) issue. Looking at the adoption figures, they seem to be right.

I personally stay away from Go due to lack of generics and other expressiveness issues. People who have to work with it write code generators on top of the compiler, because the compiler team won't include it into the language. (I can see how it's not an easy thing to do; Russ Cox wrote a nice piece about it.)

Java prior to version 5 had the very same problem. It was wildly popular nevertheless. It took Java 8 years to gain support for generics, though, about as long as it took Go to not yet obtain them. (By that time, Java was widely considered the Cobol of 21st century; I think Go must be successfully stealing that crown now.)
Yes, it is minor. Go has interfaces, so you just write a Comparer interface and sorter that takes two Comparers and then anything implementing Comparer is sortable.

*Note: author has written basically nothing in Go and only has a passing familiarity.
You are not wrong.

But I think there is more to it. I have used Go (almost) exclusively for private toy programs I write in my free time to relax (sounds weird, I know), so my perspective may be warped. But something about is very compatible with the way my mind works. With some other languages, say C or C#, I find myself constantly browsing through documentation to figure out what a given construct means in that language. And don't get me wrong, I like both of these languages.

But with Go, my intuition what I think a given piece of code should mean is nearly always in line with the language specification. The only other language I had this level of rapport with is Python.

There are many things I miss in Go, but all in all, I think it is simplicity done right.

BUT if Go had not also gotten the things right that you mention, it probably would not have become this popular.
To be fair, Warewulf largely 'suffered' from the same issue -- you could pack a fat initrd to be delivered over the network, but doing that at every boot with the full stack needed for compute at the time was crazy slow, and in some hardware configurations just wouldn't work. In an HPC environment we had shared filesystems out the wazoo (and with some amazing performance), so it made sense to mount up the majority of the os filesystem over NFS (and I wanna say some creative use of overlays).

I was only with the group a couple years nearly a decade ago (my job is up in the clouds these days) but it looks like Warewulf is still actively used: http://metacluster.lbl.gov/warewulf

I'd say that there's a weird dependence between your two points; people often seem to care because there is an alternative.

Examples of this might be Fair Trade coffee, or energy saving light bulbs. Prior to their marketing, I doubt that vague ethical considerations were on the 'top 10' list of consumer wants from a new product, if they registered at all.

But when people are presented with a choice, if you can, why not get the better stuff?

Another analogy might be something like the TPM chips on iPhones. I very much doubt that focus groups or surveys at Apple found TPMs in the list of requested new features. However, things like TPMs get written up, and add to the things that journalists can describe around the vague theme of relative security and relative privacy; important concepts to consumers. Once this is internalized, when making a comparison between phones, a motivated consumer might consider the absence of a TPM a problem.

I doubt that Intel would start marketing _No Backdoor™_ chips, but I could imagine a consumer-facing hardware vendor coming up with some kind of comparison-based branding for avoiding the ME. There's a reasonable chance that Apple may continue to integrate vertically and get away from Intel over the next few years. And I was extremely surprised that Purism (a company basically founded on resentment towards the ME) could crowd-fund millions of dollars in the way it has.
I did a little research after I posted my original comment and came across that. It does seem usable even if it's not what I'd prefer
Not an expert, but I do find some of the phrasing weird. Early on they talk about improvements to connectivity and packaging, which would seem to only be relevant to real, live, physical quantum computers. There's also the professor talking about having students run programs on real quantum computers, without any qualifiers (that were included here, anyway) about how it's actually a simulation. Later it talks about software tools, including a Jupyter notebook for heaven's sake, without mentioning the vast gulf between that and what they seem to claim at the top of the article. I'm tempted to say that the author of this press release simply doesn't understand the difference.
I’ve read the first article. It was eye opening, cause I am writing a bot right now and using exceptions to control input flow. Made me think about my design.

That said, it does not argue against exceptions. So, I am not sure what your argument is.
I did worked with spring boot and intelijava, and I timed for a decent size project it was over 40 seconds, but I believe a lot of it was Intelijava compiling, anyway, in go is instant.

My concern is less about writing a bunch of separate functions, but rather the way this hampers the abstractions that are available to you everywhere in the language. You don't have map or fold! And that's only the very tip of the iceberg.

I think it's literally just the equivalent of an envelope - a "to" field and a "from" field, so that any messenger in charge of deliveries can, at a glance, tell to whom this message is meant to be delivered, and to return it to the sender if it's undeliverable.

This is pure speculation, but if I had to guess, I'd bet they baked a Symantec-owned root into the product without an upgrade path, and they use a third-party provider who is moving their endpoint away from Symantec (or one of Symantec's other brands) because of the big distrust that's happening next month due to all of their misissuances. That means the devices won't be able to connect to the endpoint once the cert changes.
I could understand the frustration working on a smaller project solo or with a few other developers. MVC is probably the best approach to get an MVP.

Can I see the source of the "99% of a group does not want measures" argument?

Anyway, even if that was the case(source please) you can't go against the law. If you ask heroine addicts they would probably want more heroine but if the society decides that it's not O.K. to use heroine, you shouldn't expect your drug business to operate just because the heroine users are happy with it. If you have a problem with the society's choice you can follow the regular democratic routes.

Also consider the popularity of "Swype"-style keyboards, since continuous sliding a finger across a surface is, for many, easier than discrete screen presses.
