I feel like this argument is focusing on the wrong thing. It doesn't matter if the entire corpus of go packages have trivial version requirements that don't require to resolve. What seems like a much more important issue is the fact that MVS literally picks different versions of dependencies. Specifically, it picks the oldest satisfiable dependency rather than the newest. And while this simplifies the algorithm, it also has the consequence that you don't get any bugfixes to packages if you haven't explicitly requested the version that includes the bugfixes.

One of the main benefits of semantic versioning is that you can upgrade packages to new minor and patchlevel versions without breaking backwards compatibility, thus allowing you to easily pick up bugfixes by simply updating your dependencies. Of course, you should still test after updating, as packages could introduce new bugs, but on the whole updating minor and patchlevel versions is far more likely to fix bugs than it is to introduce them. But MVS discards this benefit and says you cannot get bugfixes unless you're willing to manually edit your dependency list to declare that you want the newer package. The net result is that packages that use vgo are likely to end up stuck on old versions of dependencies. This is especially true for indirect dependencies. If I publish a library, my incentive is to declare the oldest version of my own dependencies that I'm compatible with, in order to give my upstream user the most control over dependency versions. But if my library's client doesn't know about my own dependencies, then this means my library's dependencies will almost certainly resolve to a really old version, and my library's client won't even know about it and so won't be in a position to request the newer, less-buggy package version. Which then means I have an incentive to instead constantly update my library to list the newest versions of my dependencies, which then forces my library's client to upgrade those dependencies even if my library's client would prefer to be conservative and not upgrade those dependencies simply because they need to upgrade my library.

Hmm, I don't really follow that calculus.

He's not the same as Stalin, but he certainly caused him. Marx was basically the founder of a secular religion and like the theistic kind, religions attract scoundrels because they see it as a way to power. Stalin himself studied to be a priest before he changed religions.
I think every engineer or applied scientists should be expected to take a reasonable "liberal" education subset - including history, literature and law. I know that this is very much not in vogue with the latest group-think in college, but I also believe that humanities should master at least basic calculus. Not because you may need to do a differential or integral, but rather because it teaches you to think differently.

The thing that scares me more then anything else is that my view is that The anti-intellectual authoritarianism has spread even to college campuses, where liberal educations are now viewed as tools of oppression rather then as the minimum expectation for a well-informed citizen.
Regular people do care about free speech, but you can't have a platform that cares about free speech that doesn't also treat regular people and xenophobic trolls equally, in which case the former tends to chase the latter off and take over like a cancer.

The next big leap in computing is accelerators. Except getting accelerators right is as much a software investment as it is a hardware investment. That's what Nvidia got right, and why Nvidia is being so successful despite the fact that their hardware has massive limitations.

Of course, Intel also appears to be forgetting that they have the ultimate advantage in getting to accelerators--they can dump the accelerator in the same socket, Nvidia can't--since they keep trying to compete by using expansion cards despite that being the worst limiting factor for offload.
From the article:

There’s eventually going to be one question on the lips of everyone involved, though: is this legal? And the only real answer is nobody knows and really, nobody should care.

I can understand having an urge to preserve something that is in danger of decaying past recovery — I feel the same way when I see an interesting building or a classic airplane rotting away somewhere — but the usual course of action is to choose what you find most worth saving, purchase it from the owner, and restore your new possession. Any other course isn't legal, in most cases, and it isn't here either, in most cases. I care about that, and some of the game creators will care about it too.

I believe it's just that the etymologies in English are more obscure. They're still fascinating, but they come from foreign roots a lot of the time, so they're not as immediately obvious.

Although, tangentially, even constructions that are just compounds of 2 English words or so slip past my notice. I can't think of any examples on the spot, but I've definitely gone decades without really parsing apart common English idioms or compound nouns until one day, when I finally notice "oh that's why we say that".
The biggest difference between STEM and everything else is the issue of externalities. Heck, even within STEM you see a spectrum based on externalities.

What do I mean? Major in biology and do life-saving research. Unless you can translate that into a biotech patent (or better yet, a biotech company) you won't see much in the way of compensation. The same goes for the humanities and much of the social sciences. Unless the work you do can be directly captured and used to generate profit, you won't be compensated adequately. The positive externalities you produce that benefit society come right out of your own pocket.

On the opposite end of the spectrum you have people doing CS and mathematical finance working as quants for banks like Goldman Sachs or people studying geo engineering and working in oil/gas/mineral exploration. There you are capturing everything for your employer and pushing the negative externalities on society. Little wonder that those happen to be some of the most lucrative opportunities for STEM grads.

> So the 60 day period after which Spectrum would cease operations seems to end September 25

I can guarantee you they're not trying to force them to cease operations. There are too many people with triple-play voip and ATA-to-SIP adapters that handle 911/E911 calls to do that.

They are trying to force them to sell the regional ex-TWTC cable assets they acquired in the merger, to another cable operator.

It’s not a straw man at all, it’s an accurate description of acedemia. Now you’re saying it’s the industry’s fault (never mind that the industry generally practices the same affirmative action as universities do). But that can’t possibly be the case because the industry doesn’t have enough female and minority stem graduates to hire “enough” women and minorities.
Of course this seems to "unite" folks under a neoliberal, capitalist status quo and doesn't represent anything very Marxist, which is about uniting workers.

Disclaimer, I work for Yelp (a backend infra team)

TFA includes, although not clearly enough, at least one example of exactly this behavior (Google being big hurting consumer's) in their scheme to squash Yelp by inserting their own local results (with big ui) on the front page. There have been multiple studies showing the content on Yelp is far more evolved than Google's content (in # of ratings, # of reviews, average quality of reviews, # and quality of photos).

This is even with Google leveraging it's dominant market share in the mobile space to proactively push users to rate business simply by an AI connecting the dots on location. These nag alerts are not even something that can be disabled without also disabling all of Android location-tracking! Which is very irritating for me as I find many such features (for example, location history has saved my rear several times when I lost items.)

This isn't a fanboy battle like Sega vs Nintendo.

I'm not anti-google, hell I'm totally bought into their ecosystem (have had an Android since the g1, use a Google home, Google WiFi, Android TV, use all Google's office suit, Gmail, etc).

But even if you personally dislike Yelp (that's fine), it is simply a fact that Yelp has superior content in the local niche. Google is intentionally burying a competitor which has a verifiably huge quality advantage in the local review niche rather than improving their product/content enough for it to compete naturally. This IS anti-competitive behavior which IS hurting consumer's.

It even has downstream impacts on consumer's experiences within Yelp itself! Another comment complains about Yelp bugging you to install the mobile client rather than just show the result - this is absolutely a response to the existential threat of Google continuing to use their search monopoly to prevent fair competition. For better or worse it's the best shelter from the Google: at least until they start doing the same thing with Play Store...

This isn't even only a Yelp problem. Why does Expedia, for example, push users so hard to get the mobile app? Because Google has inserted their own travel booking widgets at the top of the results as well! Why is venmo killing off the website version in favor of mobile only? Maybe it has something to do with what you see at the top of a Google search for 'send money'.

The thing that is SO important to stress is that even if you are a Google fan (as I am), or perhaps ESPECIALLY if you are, anti-competitive behavior like this only results in hurting consumers by killing off competition. Turns out competition results in improvements for consumers.

And it's actually a big deal.

You are hitting your nail straight on the head, my friend.

Main culprit is: Unfinished ceiling/metallic ceilings (usually corrugated steel pannels, either square or triangular profile pattern).

It's very trendy now to have exposed mechanical equipment and venting, people do not bat an eye anymore. Been ok for about 25 years now. Source: me, working in the business, I specifically avoid any public place with such unfinished ceilings. I cannot stand it anymore!

Scientists Give New Particle Accelerator the Thumbs Up
I'm happy to be proven wrong that a Googler has accomplished such a task. As I stated in two of these comments: There appears to be no place to report an ad on Google Search. Can you explain where this feature is, because I've explicitly looked for it many times.

I see a dropdown that offers me a single option: "Why this ad?", which of course, just tells me it's based on my current search terms since I have personalization off. Clicking Ad Settings didn't bring me a report option either. I was kinda expecting a button like the "Report Ad" button you can see if you look at an ad on DuckDuckGo.

EDIT: I've bookmarked the below link and will use it liberally against malware.

...And I'll use the generic "submit feedback" button to point out I should really just be able to report a bad ad on the ad itself.

(Note: "Send feedback" has gotten pretty obscure on Google Search, nobody scrolls that far! On Google+, it's always on the left, on Gmail it's on the settings gear (I checked Settings on Google Search first and didn't find it there.)
My family and I recently moved to the Los Angeles CA area and we've yet to find a bar or restaurant that isn't incredibly loud.

I'd love to discover why it seems to be the case.

Kubernetes the hard way: Bootstrap Kubernetes the hard way. No scripts
In case anyone is depressed and reads this, I'll add an anecdote that isn't as heavy as the article. When I was depressed, I would wake up at 4am every night and not be able to fall back asleep. So I'd get up for a few hours, work, then go back to bed for a sleep cycle before actual work. Over the course of a few months of recovering, this completed stopped. Now I can tell how depressed I am by how many times a week this happens, but generally only every few weeks compared to every day no exceptions. For me, they are very closely related.

> English has about 3 times the vocabulary compared to German.

According to which method of counting?

Wikipedia says [1] that "One most recent 2016 study shows that 20-year-old English native speakers recognize on average 42,000 lemmas, ranging from 27,100 for the lowest 5% of the population to 51,700 lemmas for the highest 5%." and "For native speakers of German average absolute vocabulary sizes range from 5,900 lemmas in first grade to 73,000 for adults."

In general, I'd expect all languages to have roughly similar vocabulary sizes, since they are mostly limited by the ability of native speakers to remember them.

Your mileage may vary of course. But i’ve been independent consulting now for 25yrs. Started doing primarily dba/unix work in the 90’s and now of course cloud heavy.

See my sibling comment. The article told the story slightly misworded.
Google Map's lack of geographic features has been off putting for me for quite some time. They can list every last commercial entity under the sun, but can't be bothered to get the name of a river correct, name high points (which would be useful for navigation), canyons/ravines are generally missing. Items like campgrounds tend to direct to commercial enterprises rather than dispersed sites.

OSM has all of that, it's great.

I haven't had time to really dig into OSM. One item that confuses me is the community-based editing which lends me to not wanting to touch it out of fear I'll cross someone (like Wikipedia). I do a lot of personal mapping on Google Earth of routes, points of interest, etc., just dumping GPS data out after walks. I would like to do the same on OSM, and store it as my own private overlay but I don't see how.
> I shudder to think that the description of the exploitive terms of the deal would bring a smile to anyone's face

The past several decades have seen that idiots and their resources are departed less swiftly than before. I gladly welcome solutions to that set of problems.
The first three are grammatical, not so much the last three. I agree most speakers of English (native or otherwise) could figure out what someone saying the last three intends. But you're saying that this is a special fact about English. That if I attempt to speak in 'broken Spanish' or 'broken Japanese' and produce the equivalent of 'me want food' in Spanish or Japanese, that Spanish and Japanese speaker would just shrug their shoulders and say 'who knows what he means'?

It's a general property of natural language that speakers can produce ungrammatical sentences and yet be understood by other (perhaps more fluent) speakers. English isn't special that way.
What you’re saying about pricing makes little sense. Optimum and Spectrum territories do not overlap in the nyc area. There was never any competition between them.

You only need to install Go if you're wanting to manually build the project (which is a good idea for security reasons). You otherwise just add the compiled binary to your path and you're good to go.

He gives his reasonings for it here: https://github.com/git-hooks/git-hooks/wiki/Why-golang

The tl;dr is that it will eventually have features that would be nontrivial to implement with bash, and Go is easier on the development-side than C (coming from a frontend dev experience).
For me, reusing widely used code that's heavily tested is preferable to the liability of handwritten code. If I'm given the opportunity, when possible, I'm going to choose the former.
