Did delegation ever make it into Rust? That would let you do a more comprehensible kind of partial borrowing: if you have

impl TR for S {
delegate * to self.f;
}

then calling TR methods should only require borrowing/owning f rather than the whole of self.

Does someone know a ressource where I can easily learn how to switch from Bash to Go?

To give some context: When it comes to serious programs I use Go already, but often I just want to code a little script to watch a website for changes for example:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
url="https://example.com"
mem="memory.txt"
oldsum="$(cat "$mem")"
newsum="$(curl -sL "$url" | sha512sum)"

if [ "$oldsum" != "$newsum" ]; then
xmpp_notify "$url changed"
echo "$newsum" > "$mem"
fi

I haven't tried it yet, but in my mind it feels like writing such a program would be more time consuming/complex in Go than writing it in bash. Neverthelss, I feel like Go is overall a much better language than Bash (with all those quotes), so I would like to transition to writing more short programs in Go and for that I would like to learn how to do things like reading/writing/grepping files as easily in Go as I do it in Bash. Any idea if someone wrote some hints together already?

Legalstart | Full-stack Software Engineer | Paris, France | Full-time, Onsite, Visa, https://legalstart.fr
Python/Django Rest Framework, React, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Docker, AWS

Based in Paris, Legalstart is a leader in the European legal-tech space that aims at profoundly simplifying legal services, starting with making access to justice greatly easier, especially for businesses creators.

Since the launch of the site at the beginning of 2014, Legalstart has experienced a very strong growth. In this context, we are looking for highly motivated developers to help us extend our product base and grow internationally.

At Legalstart, we strive to improve our technical skills, that means challenging the status quo (we shipped a small blockchain-based product in production), continuously improving our practices (we introduced Haskell and ReasonML in our codebase), staying close to the local community (hosting meetups, conferences)… Also, Legalstart engineers develop a strong ownership of the product itself, and we really value their personal growth.

Apply there if you feel up to the experience!

I think what you are talking about is mostly just normal engineering in the sense that the process is similar. What really makes space unique isn't space as such but that there is no real-world (real-space?) testing, no inspections after the fact or do-overs.
This is an oversimplification. A lot (most?) of the problematic immigrants in the EU come from developing countries and are not very well (if at all) educated.

There are exceptions of course. In Germany where I live there has been a massive wave of immigrants coming from Greece. Having met quite a few, a lot of them have a university-level education and decided to immigrate in order to escape from a corrupt non-meritocratic state and make the most of their abilities. Greece is a member of the EU and culturally belongs in the west thus there are no cultural clashes or assimilation issues, which is why Germany is a net winner in this case.

On the flipside, we also have a lot of immigrants from Africa / Egypt / Morocco / the Middle East that lack any sort of education and contribute to rising crime and cultural dilution. Islam makes it even worse, since it's very exclusive and does not allow for cultural assimilation to take place. Now, keep in mind that a lot of these immigrants also seek to game the state via rent-seeking and typically have a lot of children.

The writing on the wall if the current policies continue is not hard to discern. For immigrants coming from outside the EU, I'm a firm supporter of Singapore's first-order eugenic criteria. Countries should adopt harsh immigration policies and accept people who probabilistically will turn out to be assets to society.

Unfortunately, populism is experiencing a renaissance in Europe, and it's very easy for politicians to appeal to the brainwashed masses on "humanitarian" grounds to vote for policies that will lead to major clashes in the future. In some EU countries, implementing said liberal immigration policies has led to the rapid rise of nationalist parties so backlash is already happening (and in the worst possible way).
Immigrants and "refugees" are more or less interchangeable. They are both used similarly by politicians who call for immigration and mean refugees and open borders. And they certainly are used very loosely by the people themselves, who just need to mumble that they are Syrian to get all the goodies.

But anyways - both do definitely not have to proof that they can provide for themselves. At least not in large parts of Europe.
I really like managed app hosting like AppEngine and Heroku. I have spent decades doing what we now call devops, or ‘you build it then you own it.’

Now I like to save my time for other things. AppEngine wins on cost while Heroku wins in that if you use standard things like Postgres, Kafka, etc. it is not too bad moving to your own dedicated services.

Edit: I also like the article’s advice on minimizing the number of components in systems. Using Postgres as a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ for information storage is a good start.
The importance of Braid is primarily that it was the first game which was intended to be a piece of art, rather than a toy for children, which had any kind of mass market appeal.

It was the way people engaged with it seriously, in terms of gameplay and narrative and how the two interacted that made it important.

I think Amnesia and Portal were two other games that came out around the same time that were also similarly important.
Hm, it would probably not be cube shaped though. But I agree, we could even calculate that one. It would certainly be an interesting spectacle.

Going back to the sequence of events argument, I think that implies that all universes agree on similar rules like ours (Physics), as we could only deduce this kind of argument with this assumption.

Maybe there is a universe where ice is scorching hot and all sun cores consist of it, and as matter cools it evaporates? Maybe there is even a universe where gravity and orbital mechanics work in a way to produce cube shaped stellar bodies?
Except if you like Vim keystrokes. The R Studio implementation (as I understand it's just the ACE library) is really crap.

No, Toronto isn't a "Global tech leader"

A lot of startups, but a significant amount seem very "gimmicky". (Probably less than SV, but it seems there are less companies that "started up" then grew to a significant size). That or you can work for the Megacorps, usually in the suburbs in their lifeless campuses.

Not to mention the salaries.

Also Canada tech companies in general seems to use less open source than USA or Europe.

>>When Poland got the right to work elsewhere they hugely made use of that, though always went back to Poland.

Sweeping statements like this are really unwelcome you know. As a Pole living in the UK with zero intentions of going back, not sending any money there, definitely unwilling to accept a lower wage than a British counterpart and absolutely not living in poor conditions to save money, these statements perpetuate stereotypes about us, like not so long ago Germans used to say that the only reason why Poles come to Germany was to steal cars.
Apple's walled garden is no different to those you see around Xbox and PlayStation, but nobody seems to object to them so vigorously.

It's worth remembering that what Apple does with Mac and iPhone is the norm in most other consumer products and in most other industries. It is not normal to have physical products built by one company that has at its core a platform fully controlled by another company. In fact I'm struggling to think of an example outside of computer operating systems.
Really cool illustrations!

I like the expressiveness of Rust in theory, but for the programs I write I don't feel like I get sufficient payoff for fighting the borrow checker, as compared to writing in Go. Would I be correct in saying OCaml is pretty much Rust without the borrow checker? I have no prior experience with the language.
Well they chose convenience over security, which in this case is fair enough (it's public Wi-Fi to being with).

Another solution would've been to implement WPA2 Enterprise, where employees could have their own, permanent credentials while visitors get temporary ones.
The benefit of bash is that it has system binaries as first class citizens; you can leverage the hundreds of thousands of lines of GNU projects with a single keyword. It's hard to beat that expressiveness.

Saying "Go is overall a much better language" is like saying a wrench is a better tool than a screwdriver. You should keep both in your toolbelt and switch out when the need arises.

For your question, start with the regexp and os package, learn how to open a file, read in the contents, and then while iterating over the contents, apply a regex to the text. That should get you to the point that you can search plaintext for character strings. Good luck.
> it becomes extremely simple to steal the designs created on those computers

If it is so simple, so how does it work? (It might or might not happen, but it is certainly not simple or known)
Go is the wrong tool for that. I'm no fan of bash, but it's often the the quick, clear (enough) solution for small tasks. I'm not a python dev - maybe that would be a suitable compromise?
That's just a static HTTP site, built in the hope that it will get redirected to a captive portal. It doesn't help with the captive portal authentication in any way.
yes, modern art is a love/hate kind of thing. However, I don't recall seeing any news about modern art being stolen recently (even though some can be worth silly money). Using your example we can conclude that art thieves could be janitors but never security guards.
Should this comparison also account for the growth of the US population and economy? Inflation-adjusted GDP has tripled since 1980 and one would need to adjust the size of the S&P accordingly to make a fair comparison.

I recently tried to copy a bunch of photo albums FROM iPhone TO PC. Apple makes that difficult, because iTunes only supports synching data in the opposite direction. Also, it would happily offer to delete your photos from phone and replacing it with folder content from PC. Now imagine that you spill coffee on your laptop and the only copy of your data is on iPhone - Apple makes it difficult for you to access your own data.

The dropping of GCC and adopting LLVM is directly related to the pending switch to GPLv3 of GCC.

You almost got it.

There are people who need to cross the river. Every day, several times, at different positions that each require different types of boats.
These people rely on these boats because although they are rusty and don't look nice, they always get the job done.

Since you do not need to cross the river, you are perfectly content with your Ferrari. Although you could upgrade it to a Ferrari-boat, you just don't need to.
You could though. It would take a week, but you could. It'll probably be a great Ferrari-boat, if you did everything right.

But since you have no interest in crossing the river, you don't understand why people use boats. They are obviously slow and not shiny.
And, most of all, they are slow on the road. You don't get it, why use boats?
And so you say that boats are bad.

But boats are not bad. Boats work for crossing the lake, while your Ferrari does not work except with exceptional upgrades that cost money and time. And people who use boats do not go on the road. They don't need to.
But they need to cross that lake, often, and they need their boats.

You can argue all you want, but as long as R is the best language and package for doing statistics, your critique is literally

This really seems like a problem that could be helped by smarter automation (and a lot of "thinking outside the box")

If plastic bags get stuck to the machines, then maybe the way to getting rid of them is looking at what happens with them as opposed to other materials.

Also automated identification of materials (by optical inspection or dedicated sensors) looks like it could help.

Now you still got to "replace 2% of infrastructure every year" with 0% more revenue. How's that working out for you?

I internally-resolved this when I used to get [horribly, painfully] lost infinity back in in my acid-taking days with the short maxim "anything that can be, is".
If you hire me at your company, then I take all the information, code, files, work on your big new project that you've invested all of your company's money into, and go to your competitor with it (for a handsome fee) - you're not going to proclaim 'copying' your IP et al is not stealing. Not unless you're suicidal and don't care about your employees and their jobs.

No business could survive and make long-term plans and large capital investment if that's how the world actually worked.

How about walking out of an accounting firm with private business files and handing them to competitors for a fee? Still not information stealing?
Pretty much a case of "this is why we can't have nice things."

> Yes it does.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't actually matter how much money Bill Gates has sitting in the bank; there's still the same number of bananas on the banana trees and the same number of mouths that want to eat bananas. The price of a banana is set by supply and demand, so unless Bill chose to buy up an unusually large number of bananas for himself, the real cost of a banana is unaffected by Bill having a lot more money than you.

If money is held but not invested, effectively it doesn't exist. If money is held and invested, its owner is merely acting as a small independent wing of the central bank.

If the money and assets of the country's top 1,000 wealthiest people were all handed back to the central bank tomorrow, as long as existing investments were maintained the broader economy would be largely unaffected.

This isn't my field, but I would guess that concentrating on the disparity in purchasing power of the middle 90% would be far more instructive.
