My expectations surrounding Go were born from my intense admiration for Python, which has grown so much as a language from its humble genesis at Google and proudly stood the test the time. Needless to say, I was beyond disappointed. Barring its concurrency module, which is some half-backed mixture of STM and async, I was astonished at the absurdity of the language. It reminds me of JavaScript, which as I recall was originally written as a sort of joke. So yeah, Go's like a bad joke.
Money cannot shield you from the disgraces of a decaying economy.
I don't disagree with the important question of "Where does the money come from?" (Perhaps, it's also, "What didn't we fund because of this?") But FWIW, America is not unique in its serious debt situation and as a percentage of GDP, it's not unusual. Many EU nations are in the trillions of debt ballpark. Also China, Canada, Australia, etc. In fact, some of those nations exceed America in national debt per capita. [1]

I write this as a Canadian. We're also a nation of serious debt and I sometimes wonder where money for my government's big projects comes from...

This was definitely the best book I read in the last year and really changed my larger worldview and led me down the path into information and chaos theory. I particularly like how you put it here:
"It also provides an interesting sort of grand purpose for humanity - to be caretakers of this little region of ordered information we find ourselves in."
that is an elegant summary of that concept which really resonated with me, but I hadn't been able to quite put into words. Thanks!
If I have to approach every "news" story with the assumption that it's fiction, then the bad apples have indeed spoiled the bunch.

If we must inoculate ourselves against being informed by news, then news loses its ability to inform.

It's like a solipsism.
A somewhat more accurate title, in case it saves someone else the time I just spent: "RedixDB - a Redis frontend to the Badger key-value store".
You just need to run a pretrained model for that right ?
> Is it expected that a fact checker contact everyone a journalist interviewed and go over each sentence and claim line by line and verify that it is true?

Yes, this is exactly what fact checkers at top newspapers were traditionally paid to do.

I have no idea how many true fact checkers are left, but you described the job precisely.
> Most Jews I know of are fair skinned.

It has been a while since Jesus’ time, and chances are most Jews you know work inside, unlike Jesus.

Sarcasm aside, all of the Jews I know can trace their lineage through Europe after the diaspora in the early second century. One would expect that a pre-diaspora Jew in Judea and a modern Jew who’s family had traveled through Northern Europe for 1800 years would have significantly different skin tones.
Didn't read it this year but if you're in the mood for a challenging small book, using small words in short sentences then Consilience by E.O. Wilson is hard to beat. Philosophy at its best.

From the link it seems that all major economic powers have a large "external debt". Then who are the creditors? If every country paid their debt, where would the money end up?

And I see from the article that "... while a country may have a relatively large external debt (either in absolute or per capita terms) it could actually be a "net international creditor" .

Wouldn't it be better to focus on this "balance of debts vs. assets?"
You can also 'report it discretely to the vendor', dont even get mentioned in the CVE and refused a bounty, then drop the PoC and all of a sudden you are the bad guy apparently.

> Calling the idea that code should be readable by humans "almost twee" just makes me think that the writer has no idea what they're talking about.

This is a strange criticism, and ironically it seems to reveal your own misconception of what "literate programming" actually is. Setting aside the discussion of how languages and design philosophies make tradeoffs that affect readability, Knuth's particular brand of "literate programming" pushes a concept that is orthogonal to language design, and substantially different than the precepts of style and commenting practices offered by things like PEP8. "Literate Programming". From Knuth's homepage [0]:

> The main idea is to treat a program as a piece of literature, addressed to human beings rather than to a computer.

From the literateprogramming.com page that Knuth's homepage links to, an excerpt from Ross Williams:

> Instead of writing code containing documentation, the literate programmer writes documentation containing code. No longer does the English commentary injected into a program have to be hidden in comment delimiters at the top of the file, or under procedure headings, or at the end of lines. Instead, it is wrenched into the daylight and made the main focus.

Here's a HN thread about docco, one of the few real-world tools related to literate programming: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2089912

"Literate programming" is not just about readable code, it's about fundamentally restructuring the entire program to be read as one would read a work of literature. And this is something that is not at all standard practice, nor a philosophy that everyone agrees to even be ideal in theory. Here's Peter Norvig's criticism [2]:

> I think the problem with Literate Programming is that assumes there is a single best order of presentation of the explanation. I agree that the order imposed by the compiler is not always best, but different readers have different purposes. You don’t read documentation like a novel, cover to cover. You read the parts that you need for the task(s) you want to do now. What would be ideal is a tool to help construct such paths for each reader, just-in-time; not a tool that makes the author choose a single pth for all readers.

So saying Knuth's philosophy of "literate programming" is "twee" is not at all inaccurate. The sentence structure from the NYT article could be rejiggered so that it's clearer that "twee" refers to Knuth's philosophy, and not "code that is readable by humans" in general. But the author is absolutely right to describe Knuth as being a pioneer in literate programming, and that it's a paradigm not followed in practice by mainstream software development.

What part of it is not a "real" question? Are you saying there are assumptions in the question? Of course, the entire argument is hypothetical since currently there isn't a train system as described above in the US. The point of the comment was to seek predictive reasons in favor and against a hypothetical scenario. This has nothing to do with existing funding inside or outside CA. You seem confused.

Actually..

no.

He did do this.

And it's not just that programming should be in languages
rather than machine code, but that the code + comments should read like a coherent document.

In other words, just because you write in a programming language doesn't mean it's literate programming.

Cruise has been operating in SF for a while. They seem to be doing quite well. I’ve never seen them make an unsafe or questionable move. I even did a live safety test of one, jumped off the curb at a speed and direction that would have taken me in front of the car if I’d continued. It slowed significantly, so it could stop if I had continued in front (which I did not). The safety driver was like “wtf car, what are you doing?” till he saw me and then he was kinda pissed.

The Uber cars were a shit show. They didn’t know how to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. I’m glad the ca dmv revoked their registrations.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.. that Jesus is comparable to the Loch Ness monster (an urban legend)? No serious historian (secular or otherwise) doubts the historicity of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. His divinity is obviously a matter of faith, but Jesus was certainly a real human being that was born and eventually was crucified around 30 AD.

I think every HR reader just skimmed this article, saw that for_each example and exploded in fury. He does say the below:

"I’m being a bit pedantic for didactic purposes here, so please don’t let that trip you up.I also could have very easily written for_each as a vanilla function template instead of making it an object initialized with a constrained generic lambda."

He needs to clean up the article and write another which doesn't 'play around' syntax quite so much.
A lot of this support comes in the form of large numbers of small contributions: Chinese graduate students. This is especially pernicious because it influences at the level of the department and even individual professor, since they see the funding directly.

> zero respect for “journalism” at this time.

unfortunately too many journalists have demoted themselves to "copywriters based on things you find online", whatever the things are. I m frankly not surprised this guy ended up writing fiction: when you only look at the world through a glass, it stops being real to you.

it is becoming almost impossible to find eyewitness journalists. OTOH, connected journalism can only be useful in extraordinary cases that can be verified via online channels or which involve anonymity (E.g. snowden case)

Is that the natural endgame of journalism? who knows

They have become narrative creators. They create a number of narratives, and people attach to the one that fits their preconceptions. Reality doesn't matter that much.
After having code reviewed a lot of Haskell code and managing library dependencies, his talk makes a TON of sense.

Some refactorings of code are basically just relaxation of requirements or tightening of return values - and Maybe is littered everywhere / changed everywhere. It just makes the the code hard to read and a lot of busy work - but to no real value.

This is the same in Java code. Too many Optional<MyActualClass> / Nullable everywhere. Unit tests littered everywhere to deal with Optionals. But no real functionality change or new information for future maintainers. Just extra cruft.

spec seems to be work picked up where Optional / Maybe has left off.

If you're interested in these kinds of books, I'd recommend you to Svetlana Alexeivich's "Unwomanly Face of War" in particular, if you haven't yet encountered it (and her body of work, in general).

They're more bite-size than Solzhenitsyn's behemoths, and perhaps more literary than documentary, but address some similar atrocities from a very unique and human point of view. In particular, her very humble voice for the feminine experience (one that's historically absent from political and "military" histories) is enlightening and provocative. It also helps that she's a fantastic story-teller – fitting neatly into a long genealogy of excellent Russian storytellers.

I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. The world might be a better place, if only every person in a position of power spent some period of their life ruminating this tragic corner of world literature.

What is GraphQL and how to Use it
1. David Hume - An Enquiry Regarding Human Understanding.
Although I’ve been listening to Prof. Peter Millican’s online lectures “General Philosophy for some time and also met him in Oxford, somehow I’ve avoided reading Hume. He is a Hume “evangelist”, the latest edition of “An Enquiry” was published by Oxford Uni Press with his introduction, which is itself an eloquent narrative of science, religion, and philosophy. Nonetheless the book is quite small and somehow might make animpression of insignificant, 2 hour read, it indeed isn’t. Sometimes I read 2-3 pages and then think for 15-20 minutes. It turns my unserstanding of self upside down or perhaps “downside up”. Totally recommended.

2. Psychology by Dimitri Uznadze (Georgian scholar), which is a major work in psychology written originally in Georgian. He lived and worked in really dark times: WW I, annexation of the country by the Red Communist Army,(Bolsheviks), The Great Terror(30s) when hundreds of thousands were executed or were exiled to Siberia my grand-grandpa among others, WW II. He went through all these major gifts of the first half of 20th century Georgia. And I did really wonder how he managed to pull this off and lived life of a revolutionary scientist in those times. Well, the book is a bit overwhelmed with quotations by Marx and Engels but perhaps that was the way togo through censorship and even save your own career and life. It’s a 700 page definitive guide to Psychology, which goes against Freud, Jung, Lacan and it’s speculative contemporaries.

3. The Book of Why - Judea Pearl. The colleague mentioned the book upon working on a new recommender system at job, then I ordered 2 copies for both of us. Haven’t dived deep yet, but Judea Pearl is one of the fathers of modern AI, he asks tough questions and tryies to guide the revolution to the next level, where AI system will be able to reason about the result and answer to the question - why. “The Correlation is not Causation”.

Well, these are the major ones that stood up this year. Also In terms of fiction 2018 was quite classy: The Iliad by Homer, Faust by Goethe, The Sleepwalkers - Herman Broch, re-reading The Man Without Qualities by Robert Musil (one of my favourite work of literature of all time).

Not OP but - Boost is a large library that can be tricky to extract only the portions you want from, leading to instances where you compile a lot of unwanted code, leading to ballooning compile times in exchange for only a little bit of extra functionality that you want.
