I'm the tech lead and primary software engineer on the Go runtime. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I'm super thrilled to announce that Go 1.11 is now available on App Engine! We now support...

* vendoring

* regular best-practice package structures

* go modules

* the regular Google Cloud client libraries: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-go

This is a "second-generation" runtime (https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/introducing-app-e...), meaning that we're now running stock Go in the gVisor sandbox (https://github.com/google/gvisor). We've removed all of the restrictions present in the old runtime, like limited socket and file access. You can even import "unsafe"!

If you're a current Go-on-App Engine customer, you should check out our migration guide at https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go111/go-di... to learn how to migrate from the Go 1.9 runtime to the new Go 1.11 runtime. For the time being, you can still use the legacy App Engine APIs with the Go 1.11 runtime, but you should start migrating to the Google Cloud client libraries.

"You can think BLM is a broken movement"

I've read what conservatives write about BLM. Saying they call it a "broken movement" is the understatement and mischaracterization of the century. It's racism, pure and simple. If you are a racist, you're a scumbag, full stop.

I'm starting to get the same kind of vibes as with Mark russinovich's sysinternals 'the case of the ....' blog posts. Same investigative style. The blog is unabashedly technical, hands on, and yet crystal clear.
XMPP is a protocol; it doesn't have a user experience. Sure, it may have been difficult to adapt for mobile, but that doesn't mean it inherently has a poor experience.
What does this mean exactly? Do you essentially build the specs and someone else does the work? Or do you see the project to completion (you design and implement the product)?

I'm really confused because I really didn't see anything meaty in the article other than "talk about problems, not implementation". I thought the article was going to be about "licensing" vs "copyright transfer", but instead got a lecture about something far more nuanced.

Is the difference just terminology and how you present yourself? If so, what terminology to people look for, and how does a project work from start to finish for you?
I'm curious what that does to the value of the land. I'd guess it drops it dramatically; the bit of information I found sidestepped answering that question, just mentioning that you'd pay much lower taxes... which I suppose is a roundabout way of saying yes, it kills the value.

That may not be a bad thing, of course. But definitely something to keep in consideration.

Ask HN: How do I make the most money as a programmer
I was wondering what the path is to maximize my income to the effort put in. Is it actually the salary route at a large company? Start ups seem to be the worst route due to low success rate and high effort. Also looks as if consulting tops out at 150K/yr average without being an expert in a field. I wonder what being en expert entails.

Would changing fields be the best route? I wonder if its to late for me to get into investment banking.

Currently making 140K at 7 yrs experience fullstack dev in the midwest.

App Engine’s New Go 1.11 Runtime
If you are talking about equities:

Very simple trick when investing in stocks. Look for companies with great management. The better the management the more confident you can be of them making similar decisions that lead them to success in the first place. (doesn't always work - but worked so far for me).

Look for value in companies. Sometimes stupid news can open value in a company. i.e. $TSLA's recent downfall and bounce back.

Just as well that we're working on it and released huge improvements yesterday! Think 70% reduction of memory use and dramatic reduction of launch time :) (https://medium.com/@RiotChat/riot-im-web-0-17-and-ios-0-7-6-... for the details)

We're still aiming for a full redesign of Riot.im to be out before end of the year, there should be things to look at at the end of the month, all crafted for the non-techy friends, so watch de the space!

And yes, the backend is not helping neither, although we've also done good progress on perf improvement there in the last months and still rolling new ones (e.g. Py3 being deployed as we speak and reducing server RAM by 3). Switching away from matrix.org can help, and agreed that a directory of public servers à la Mastodon could be interesting (although we would need to find a non-scary way to do so, lots of non-tech people would run away from it: they just want one click onboarding without having to understand what's happening behind the scenes).
We've also soft launched a paid hosted offering, for 50-100 people teams who could do with their own DNS and faster servers at http://modular.im
Nice! I've tried OpenRA and enjoyed it, but for whatever reason Tiberium Sun captured my attention the most :)
Ha, well I guess my secret's out - I skipped some of the exercises! And I'm not surprised to see I skipped that one. Even now, 5.51 and 5.52 seem like they would be more hard than fun. But given that SICP is my favorite CS book, maybe I owe it to myself to go for 100% completion.
> I _cannot_ wait to start playing around with this.

Love the enthusiasm!

> Do you have any plans / strategy / tips for handling video?

Yes. Working on it now.

The next revision will actually handle capturing video and we just show an embedded player now. So at LEAST you can use Polar to keep track of the videos, tag them, etc.

I'd like to make a full player including annotations too so you can keep track of the pointer in the video so you can jump to the time where the annotation/comment was kept.

Flashcards too.

With videos becoming 1 hour for a lecture having them in something like Polar is critical.
While I agree many of these apps have their values overly inflated if you look closely at their usage, I think measuring web 3 apps with web 2 metrics like DAUs is a bad premise. Most of these services arent replacing social networks or content providers, but are instead providing financial instruments (which users spend a high amount of value on, but don't necessarily use every day.)

Augur may not have a high volume of pure users but there's still a decent amount of money on the line in markets at any given time (1.1 million in USD, at time of writing, according to https://predictions.global/)
I think that part of the power of LISP is it's dynamic nature but if you want typed options they exist for Clojure and Racket. There is also development on a language called Carp that aims to be a Clojure style language for C https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp.
FSF has historically let others make new licenses based on its own as long as they name it in a way that is not likely to be confused with any of the GNU licenses.
You are welcome. I love thinking and discussing mythology and religion.

> It did not seem to me that gods would be source of justice. They are source of power and have own politics that is independent of right and wrong.

In general, I agree with this statement. I think one needs to stretch to find justice in the Odyssey, and even more so in the Iliad. That being said, I do believe there are some early inklings of justice and morality which evolved and grew with Greek civilization, and by the later classical period, Zeus was increasingly associated with Justice.

Also, Hesiod, who wrote at about the same time as Homer, certainly associated justice with Zeus. Here is a quote from Works and Days:

> You too, my lords, attend to this justice-doing of hours. For close at hand among men there are immortals taking note of all those who afflict each other with crooked judgements, heedless of the gods' punishment. Thrice countless are they on the rich-pastured earth, Zeus' immortal watchers of mortal men, who watch over judgements and wickedness, clothed in darkness, traveling about the land on every road. And there is the maiden Right, daughter of Zeus, esteemed and respected by the gods in Olympus; and whenever someone does her down with crooked abuse, at once she sits by Zeus her father, Kronos' son, and reports the men's unrighteous mind, so that the people may pay for the crimes of their lords who balefully divert justice from its course by pronouncing it crooked.

Homer mentions a somewhat similar (although different) idea in book 19 of the Iliad:

"Zeus be my witness first, the highest, best of gods!
Then Earth, the Sun, and Furies stalking the world below
to wreak revenge on the dead who broke their oaths---
I swear I never laid a hand on the girl Briseis

Hesiod wasn't as influential as Homer, but he was still quite influential on Greek culture. There is a story that Hesiod and Homer had a poetry competition, and Hesiod won. Anyway, this idea of justice appears to have been present in both authors to a very limited degree.

The 1951 article, "The Gods of Homer," by G. M. A Grub, has an interesting discussion of morality in Homer and how it evolved. You can read the article for free, if you have a JSTOR account, here:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/1086075

Grube's main premise is that the gods of Homer came from an earlier conception of the gods as "forces of nature." After Homer, or the poets before Homer, personified the gods, it was inevitable that they would become moralized over time. Grube believes that Homer is near the start of this process. This would explain why some of the stories in the Iliad and Odyssey represent the gods as being essentially unethical; these stores were from before the gods were expected to be moral.
A couple things I think you’re missing:

Your assumption that one of the positions, either liberal or conservative, must be correct, is wrong.

Second, the assumption that professors know better than the general population in all cases is also incorrect. People in academia have a way of thinking that is sometimes divorced from reality and real world experience. Professors can be much more wrong than the general population in some cases.

This highlights the original point: viewpoint diversity and rigorous debate are the best tools for discovering truth. If your idea is so fragile it can’t exist outside of some protected ecosystem, the idea probably isn’t very good to begin with.
I do, thank you so much!
Right on time. I’ll take “bootlicking fascist apologist” for $10 Alex.

Notice you didn’t even discuss encryption. Shows how little thought you’ve put in. And that’s ignoring the ethical side entirely.

Why do so many of the people I interact with seem to have absolutely no fear of government abuse, despite 10,000 years of evidence to the contrary? It boggles the mind

No. I flat out reject the idea that people should be able to lie about the facts of when and where voting occurs for the purposes of disenfranchisement. That should be severely punished. That is not freedom of speech, that is again outright fraud.

> Does that mean when you talk about adding 3rd party extensions you're including Chrome extensions in that?

Alas, no.

Electron doesn't support Chrome extensions.

I agree that extensions would be awesome but Electron won't ever get extensions while it's based on libchromiumcontent.

NW.js (an Electron alternative) does support extensions though and if Electron drags its feet I might consider porting Polar to NW.js. That might be a herculean effort though.

Rolls-Royce teams up with Intel to build autonomous ships
That argument goes for every floss app. If you download their binaries from a play store (that is not f-droid), there's no guarantee that what you get is the same as what the source code would produce. f-droid is not a 100% guarantee either (e.g. not all apps support reproducible builds), but it's certainly better than the mainstream play stores.
Not a very good shill:

Ring's cameras automatically record audio and cannot be configured to disable the audio recording.
Completely disagree. How does AGPL interfere with your ability to run a program? I can clone any AGPL software and run it for whatever purposes I want. It also doesn't discriminate against any field of endeavor. I can run AGPL software and charge for it. "Distribution" has changed since 1991 and AGPL extends the viral qualities of GPL to apply to internet services, which is a Good Thing for free software.

No.. not yet but it's an interesting idea to support updated sources.

> I am a huge proponent of back squats without aids - like belts - for the purpose of developing natural core strength like what you have experienced, but it is very, very cheap insurance to work your abs/back/sides in addition.

Belts are aids in that they allow you to literally flex your stomach muscles and valsalva to a great degree - they provide no intrinsic support, instead providing something to brace your own muscles against. This is literally the argument one makes for core work! I also agree - it's important to learn to be able to squat without a belt, and I largely will with the exception of my heaviest sets of the day. It helps you appreciate the assistance and work on your own unaided valsalva.

If you do slip into this catastrophic scenario you're visualizing, being able to hold a static plank for 3 minutes isn't going to help that - you haven't trained the muscle at all to do what it needs to do at that moment - stop being static and move. Having the sheer grunt power and experience of having hundreds of lbs on your back for years is what's going to save you, and I'd argue that there's plenty of muscle groups that you've built up over the years to keep you safe in just such a circumstance - your spine isn't floating in a vat supported only by abs. I've dumped the bar, failed lifts, things have slipped, but I've never slipped a disc because I am strong enough to survive the load.

Do accidents happen and people get hurt? Absolutely, but both runners and old ladies slip discs too.
Your statement reads in a pretty funny way:

> This seems fairly reasonable...

> ...as long as they keep the commitment...

I mean, I feel as if everything seems reasonable as long as the original commitment is kept. Thing is, the original commitment is rarely if ever kept at all. This is nothing more than a problem waiting to happen, as are most things where large bureaucracies involve themselves.

Once I read that the data is completely unencrypted (oh, I can do a man-in-the middle and just send my own backend a copy of this video stream? awesome!) and anyone's face (i.e., those simply walking by) could potentially be recorded, I pretty much gave up any hope of this working responsibly.

But hey, just read another comment about Walmart apparently sending surveillance video to the Feds (which sounds like a very Walmart thing to do actually), so apparently we have larger issues to deal with.
Elite did this way back to store the entire galaxy.
I'm not sure that will help. I see a kind of "family resemblance" between COBOL and enterprise Java. I wonder if any language that is going to play in this space is destined to become a monstrosity - destined by the nature of the problem space rather than the nature of the language.

I am aware that when I say this, I am basing my opinion on a sample size of two...
Web Developer vs. App Developer Salary
When were you given an opportunity to consent to your relatives uploading their own DNA to ancestry.com?

Ownership of one's own DNA information is not quite as blurry as surveillance camera footage, but if it's capturing activity happening in a public place or on the camera owner's property? Yeah, ownership of that information is still pretty blurry.

> Very nice. What happens when two clients open the same document library at the same time? Do they only overwrite content if you add comments etc?

Polar is a single instance app. You can't open multiple docs at once. It will just re-focus the window you already have open.
> Look at the comments that already exist - is there any way that you can imagine this not turning into a flamefest?

That's an interesting censorship tactic: if you don't like a topic or an idea, start a fight about it, the ruder and unproductive the better. Your disliked topic is thrown out like a baby with the bathwater, an objections to the censorship can be countered with the misdirection that the topic or idea isn't getting suppressed, just "fights."

That's why I think, in the interest of open, good-faith discussion, the flamers themselves need to be moderated, but not the topics that attract them.
This is silly hair-splitting. If it's "hard to adapt" to mobile then it's the protocol implying poor UX.

Warm Starting for Efficient Deep Learning Resource Utilization
Sounds like a good thing for consumers and Android device makers, who will no longer be coerced by Google to install its apps "for free". It's a pretty bad thing for Google in the long term, whose apps will inevitably lose market share.

Although some OEMs will initially "freak out" because they'll think people will stop buying their phones if Gmail doesn't come pre-installed (I find it extremely hard to believe, but I guess anything is possible with some people), eventually they'll likely end-up pre-installing Microsoft or Amazon or whoever else' apps instead - and they will get paid to do it.

> “But who cares if we are all worse off, taxes are theft,” whines the conservative

You're proving my point. This is a fringe conservative position (conservatives are okay with taxes for critical infrastructure, national defense, some minimal social safety net, etc), but you're using that brush to paint all conservatives. Sadly, portraying moderates as extremists has become a goto debate tactic for the left wing, and it's frankly _boring_ never mind morally repugnant.
Can’t say why this feels strange, but’s it’s also not as sensational as the title. Ring Users have to choose to share the information. As someone who has a Ring device, I find the neighborhood feature more a nuisance than anything. It’s mostly people posting videos from their doorbell cams asking if anyone knows why’s the guy with a clipboard was at their door, or posting videos of “suspicious” people in their neighborhood without any crime to report. Not hard to guess what the “suspicious” people shared usually look like.

Before these cameras lots of people knocked on your door while you were at work at you never knew.

Part of the argument is that decent and intelligent people can disagree on this.

The counterargument is that suppressing truth and speech is indecent, regardless of intent. That is, the lesser wrong is still wrong. Boiling people down to utilitarian guesswork is part of the problem. It is fair to point out that the alleged decency is premised on skipping past established ethical and moral frameworks.

It could usefully say that when you do a “git status” when you’re in a detached state, instead of just saying “detached HEAD” and expecting you to figure it out (or google for it).

Much like we used to think dietary fat created visceral fat, and dietary cholesterol created blood cholesterol, we've been operating under the assumption that eating sugar is the primary cause of high blood sugar leading to insulin resistance. When you look at the glycemic index and glycemic load of foods, it's actually wheat that comes out on top. Cutting wheat out of your diet is likely to be much more effective at reducing your insulin resistance, and there are often a litany of other positive health outcomes as well.
