Well, yes and no, and that's the only thing I don't like about GOPATH: that your source code is not in GOPATH, but in `$GOPATH/src`.

I'm not against GOPATH per-se because I'm already used to other PATHs; I'm just against it not behaving like those other common PATH variables, like PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH[1], etc. GOPATH introduces intermediary directories (src, pkg, bin), instead of going straight to the point and being only for source code.

I mean, there's `GOPATH` and also `GOBIN` which is just `$GOPATH/bin`. IMO it would make much more sense for GOPATH to be only source code, GOBIN to be only executables, and something like GOPKG for the current `$GOPATH/pkg`.

[1]: Yes I know venv is a thing, I'm just mentioning PYTHONPATH to illustrate my point.
It might compile, but with modern compilers doing increasingly aggressive optimizations (especially on undefined behaviour), it becomes more of a gamble whether the old source with a modern compiler produces the same results as the old code with an old compiler.

The absolute best in any field including fast food cook is probably as intelegent as any other field. However the average really can be meaningfully different based on self selection. HR for example really does not attract the best and brightest.

Sales is an outlier because compensation for the best can be really good. So, it's got a large group of very talented people and many far less so.
For millennia, traditional myths and stories have been going against the just-world fallacy [1]

The counterpoint being that without the money provided by the contractee, the individual with the idea in his head may not ever reify that concept.

None of the IP of commercial software I've written resides with me. I don't feel deprived of it though.
Instead of asking others to shoulder the (enormous) burden of backwards compatibility so that his software may continue to work, I think this person would do well to ask package maintainers to make sure their package metadata is correct (e.g. it lists which versions of Python are supported), and to adopt containerization-based tools for packaging his software dependencies in a sustainable way. The beauty of Docker (and LXC and other container technologies) is that the Linux kernel ABI becomes your backwards-compatible interface, and the kernel maintainers are willing to shoulder that burden.
I would say you took a pretty big risk running a car for 5 minutes in a closed space. I've started a car briefly in a closed garage, but we're talking for maybe 10-15 seconds (post oil-change in the winter). Even then I started to wonder if I was taking too big a risk.

5 minutes is a long time!
In publishing/media:

Some workflows are shorter than others, but in the journalism side the workflows tend to bottom out at a day and max out at a few months (for the workflow, but is ultimately dependent on the weight of the story)...

Most of that is handled above the technology, mind.

The exploration for the right tool(s) is ongoing. I've been leveraged to build one but the status of that clandestine project is in flux to put it lightly. Not sure if I can elaborate on that right now.

Currently, the needs and preferences vary so much that there are many different services used, but the company is seeking to centralize some efforts (like content generation and management) and externalize others (like distribution).
Both Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War are like that.

I remember hearing shouting matches as I left Civil War about who was right, who was on the side of good.

That is what Objective C provides (the author here calls it “viral null”). It works, but I think a better approach is the Swift way. In this a nullable type is precisely an Optional, as you stated, and they don’t respond to anything besides “isNull?” and “get” (the latter crashing the program if the former returns true). This way when you need to say “I might not know”, your type signature will express that, and the type system will guarantee everyone abides by it.

Is this really true? It sounds to me a bit like the reasoning that has caused Hollywood movies to very obviously try to pander to the lowest common denominator (i.e. movies as entertainment as opposed to artistic creation, explosions and car chases rather than storytelling etc).

I think of this as a self-fullfilling prophecy: if movies are advertised as crude entertainment, most people will go watch them expecting crude entertainment and will be disappointed if they get anything else. Which forces the studios to keep pushing out crude entertainment.

Apologies if I misunderstand your comment.

The use of CBC without proper authentication sounds like a flaw in the standard to me. Especially the line in the FAQ about being able to create a fresh valid signature for an altered ciphertext is not good.
On the note of rehabilitation, do you (or anyone here) know of any good studies comparing various methods of rehabilitation?

My buddy firmly believes that the system is broken, just like myself. Yet, he believes it's broken by being too lax on criminals. He thinks we should be more like his home country, where "They leave their doors unlocked at night because if you steal, you lose a hand".

While I disagree with him, I'm not actually aware of facts on this. I know some countries have great success with rehabilitation methods, but what about more "harsh" countries? Is it compared often?
It has a bad case of featuritis; it reads both discursively and self-consciously, like it knows that there's really no justification for using regexps to specify named properties, but it just can't help itself.

Some of the Level 3 features venture too far afield from Unicode, too, e.g., 3.11 is "implement YACC" and has nothing to do with Unicode and 3.7 is "implement a streaming regexp engine, we dare you" (challenge accepted, Unicode dweebs!).

So, it is a horrible standard by which to judge overall conformance, but no one really does that. I think the value is in lighting the way through a broad array of thorny Unicode topics. And I think that the implementor who grapples with a majority subset of the sensible topics will wind up with an engine that handles users' Unicode needs.
If the misdeeds of politicians, beurocrats, cops, etc landed them in prison the way the misdeeds of "commoners" did the problem would solve itself.

This is yet another problem that would be solved or mostly mitigated if the groups of people who shape, administrate and enforce the rules of society had to take their own medicine. It's much harder perpetuate an inhumane system for the purpose of screwing over people who screwed up when you and the people around you would have to face that same system if you screwed up.

This is why I hope Marvel somehow gets the rights to DR. DOOM and adapts Triumph and Torment for the big screen.

Sex differences in risk-taking behavior is a well documented finding, and that it has an underlying biological cause isn't controversial as far I've seen.

Testosterone is strongly linked to aggression as well as financial/physical risk taking, so part of the difference between sexes is expected on that alone. [1][2]

The evolution of risk taking is actively researched [3], and we see pretty consistent sex based differences across most species.

On an individual level, women who want to take these high risk physical jobs should clearly have equal opportunity to do so. We're just unlikely to ever hit 50/50.

The nullephant in the room is that procedural programming with mutable state (registers, class fields, whatever) is not trivially amenable to logical analysis, and any constraints introduced to rectify this issue become the topic of a never-ending river of tutorials and navel-gazing rants on the demerits of said tutorials.

It will cease to have value when there's nobody left to value it.
But it doesn't encode Maybe/Option in a composable way. Say you have a Map<T,Option<U>> and you look up a key. If the key is present but maps to None, you get Some None, but if the key is not present, you get None. A plain untyped null/nil results in a lossy encoding of the two distinct cases. Lispy maps tend to paper this over by returning multiple values or returning a tuple (e.g. using Clojure's `find` instead of `get`), but I almost never see a codebase maintained with enough discipline to handle these situations consistently. If you have multiple developers working on different parts of a record-munging pipeline, you will typically have to deal with endless bug regressions involving the silent disappearance of key-value pairs that come and go depending on the order in which you compose the transformations.

TV (albeit adult TV) is much better at this. Many of the most popular shows feature antiheroes/flawed characters. You know what they're doing is bad/wrong and yet you're rooting for them anyway.

Ironically I'm not sure it makes a difference. I think in a kind of perverse voyeuristic way people like to live through them, but stay safe in the knowledge that they "could never do that". Like the kind of excitement you got from being around the naughty kid at school, without actually risking getting in trouble.

The article doesn’t mention what it’s purpose is? Anyone know?
The article provides a great illustration of how some large businesses derive value from hiring management consultants: to give legitimacy to an unpopular decision.

In some cases, of course, management consultants are hired to give cover to unpopular decisions or even to send a message to one’s workforce. In The Firm, Duff McDonald argues McKinsey in particular “might be the single greatest legitimizer of mass layoffs in history.”

“If you were a CEO and felt you needed to cut 10% of costs but didn’t feel you were getting buy-in from your employees,” he wrote, “the hiring of McKinsey generally got the point across quite clearly.”

> If the law is not at least an approximation of morality, then what is its purpose?

Perhaps it's meaningful the other way around, too. So many people I see don't want more rigid tax laws, because morals are enough. I argue that morals guiding tax laws only cause to harm those good enough to have morals following the tax laws.

It would seem morals should perhaps guide the desired end result of the law, like no killing your neighbor, but the laws to get to that end state might be counter intuitive. Something Americans suffer greatly from grasping.
> Have you never turned your car on before you left to heat up the passenger compartment?

With the remote start system I have a passing familiarity with, if you remotely start the car and warm it up with no person and no key in the car, the car automatically shuts off fifteen minutes after it has started if someone doesn't get in with a key. Seems to be compatible the simple guidelines I mentioned.
The schedule you are describing is a Roman Catholic one. I am speaking about Orthodox monasteries. Often monks will be expected to attend one last hour of prayer around midnight. Following that, they retire, but then they will have to return to the church very early the next morning for matins, and apparently they wake up a couple of hours before that for personal devotions. As a guest at monasteries, I have been allowed slightly less than 6 hours of sleep because I am expected to attend all hours of prayer, so if the monks are waking up even earlier, then 4 hours for them sounds about right.

That's of course true for the massive rooms, such as #matrix:matrix.org, but if there are enough 1:1 conversations to contribute significantly to the overloadedness of matrix.org splitting the servers up and 'randomly' assigning a server to users would decrease the load.

That's a number of 'ifs' there, though.
"1) not have the conviction to bet their careers on it, i.e. don't rock the boat, 2) don't care enough to push for it, or 3) don't have the credibility to get the attention of the senior executives."

1. Poor executive leadership.
2. Poor executive leadership.
3. Poor executive leadership.

When you breed a culture of fear and silence this will always be the result. It's the CEO who says, "I'm not surrounded with people who say 'Yes' to me. I'm surrounded with people who share my vision." The CEO, after having replaced, removed, and reassigned anyone who is willing to call into question a decision made by the CEO, will make decisions without any real feedback from their executive team (an echo chamber).

The alternative?[0] The CEO who lets and encourages everyone to speak their mind. The CEO who rewards those with differing opinions and seeks truth by asking "Why?" instead of shutting down dissent. The CEO who actively seeks out executive leadership that will challenge them to justify their decisions and to keep a written record of those decisions.

Well, there's Shoes.app which you can use to bundle your application into a vendor package, but there's not really any facility for obfuscating Ruby into executable static objects that I am aware of, neither why you would want it.

A MacOS ".app" is just a folder with executables and supporting artifacts/objects in it. (So, quite a bit like a container actually!)

I think you're being downvoted because you haven't asked "why" enough times. Why is it that you want a binary?

What is it that a container image doesn't give you that you would get some other way by making a binary? Because a container image is, at least usually when translated to its simplest form, a binary (tarball) with an entrypoint (cmd). So what are you hoping to get out of a "compiled" Ruby app that you won't be getting when it's simply Dockerized?

> I don't think Tolkien would have liked the movies, but then again, he is dead.

Then they should clearly say this is not based on the books right from the start. The first movie was still somewhat acceptable as a book adaption, but the second and third go so far away from the actual characters and events it should be called something else.
It's hard to know of course, but I'm guessing Tolkien would be turning in his grave about all the Peter Jackson movies.

Personally, I can't get over the fact they cut out Tom Bombadil. This was discussed before on HN and someone said Jackson had a good reason to do that, but it just rips the heart out of the whole thing. It's exactly what Tolkien was complaining about: here is a good old fairy story that has been "adapted" for the large screen by taking out everything that makes it a fairy story- the whimsical, otherworldly magic of the fair folk. What we're left with is epic battles, action ballet (I'm thinking of that scene where Legolas kills the oliphant) and just generally fantasy porn. Great sets and costumes, but there's nobody in there.
