For libraries, I have never once found Go lacking. I’ve noticed that because Go jumped to the front of the line quite recently you are more likely to find packages that are being actively maintained than Java.

That said there are always edge cases, and I have run into places where the only Java library I could get was proprietary, which is pretty usual for Java and pretty rare for Golang.

As you many already know the authors of Go are bell labs folks who practically invented hacking and showing up large enterprises (Multics), so there is a hacker mentality in the Go ecosystem that makes ditching libraries and writing a little bit more code attractive to Gophers. I highly encourage anyone learning Go to try to adopt this mindset, Russ Cox has a great blog post about the dangers of depdancies that are often easily dismissed by the Java and Javascriptors.

As for resource consumption Go and Java generally execute at the same speed but that’s where the comparison ends. Java has been trying to modernize in some ways but they have fundamental barriers over a statically compiled language, and in typical Java fashion there’s a lot of finger pointing at Jigsaw and Vert.X as answers to Java’s failings, but the truth is that the former has been in development for years and the latter is massively complicated for Java’s target audience. I believe they are also working on fibers, but again that’s far down the line.

Definitely. I am more concerned with Russian people and our culture, though, than with loyality to a country as a regime plus set of borders.

If there was other Russian state, like Taiwan is for China, I think I'd jump ship and go for it. There isn't.

Upd: HN throttles me so have to answer here:

Even before 2014, Ukraine put their bet on propelling Ukrainian language and culture. Which from my perspective put them in the same ballpark as Czechia or Croatia. Surely, most people in Ukraine still speak Russian but their culture is 2nd class citizen.

Belarus is a small and boring dictatorship. They're either going the way of Ukraine or, as rumors go, get annexed by Russia. Back to square one. But otherwise it could be an option.

As for placing interests of Russia above my own: aren't we all do it sometimes in any country? Actually this is a trick question since Russians as a nation way overspent on loyalty to regimes in XX century.
Trump is a symptom, not the disease.
This looks really cool and fun, but, one roboticist to another, why do you not stream out just the raw data and render hidef clientside? Surely streaming "pixels" transfers way more bits than necessary, which is bad for low throughput connections.
Agreed. Have written a lot of code in Ada and Python, I have taught both of them. The fact that Ada code often works first time is something almost every student notices at some point. I have far more experience in Python, and I don’t think I’ve ever made non-trivial code work the first time.
Practice is what separates most people who are good things from those who aren't.

Yes, but mindless practice doesn't help, isn't it? Is there a deliberate method to your practice? How do you keep track of your weak areas, and how do you specifically practice those weak areas?
I'm a static typing person, too, but considering how wildly popular dynamic languages are for Web development, it's hard to take blanket criticism like this seriously.

As far as large projects go, my own experience has been that the dirty truth is that, past a certain size, nothing is statically typed, anyway. Either it's decomposed into a bunch of smaller services that communicate using a weakly-typed messaging system, or it's a monolith that resorts to some sort of stringly typed mechanism for communication among the major components. I know the speakers at tech conferences say we're supposed to keep it strongly typed and use a ports and adapters pattern to limit the scope of impact for type changes, but that just doesn't seem to be how it ever happens in practice.

It makes me think that the Clojure folks might really be on to something, and that, for large business applications, static typing is trying to solve the wrong problem. I'd personally love to get a chance to take its specs system for a spin.
Yes. They just do not enable you to do that. And do totally not comply with GDPR requirements this way. But non the less hope to come out unscathed because of their "opt in" popup.

Well. As I have a strong hosts file as well as respective browser addons I do not care - their trackers do not see me.

Ditto. I've been using a GR1 for seven years now. It's been through multiple GORUCK events as well as countless flights and road trips. When it gets dirty or starts to show sweat stains if I've been training with it a quick trip to the car wash and it's clean again. Without question one of the most versatile and resilient items that I own.

I too have no affiliation with the maker.

Edit: I literally have a closet full of mission-specific packs. Ice climbing, backcountry skiing, multiday hiking, rock climbing, speed ascents, etc. The GR1 isn't suited to any of those things. But it's ideal as a multi-purpose EDC that will literally not wear out in a human's lifetime.
I do. They are more or less apolitical and supportive; but I am very lucky that this is the case. I know many families who has been irreversibly split and their members do not talk to each other due to political conflicts.
I'm freaked out that literally non of these people exist - yet they're there. I can see them. Some eldritch shit yo.
The article you have linked says nothing of the sort.
There is. Innocent means you did not commit the crime. Not Guilty, OTOH, means that the current presented evidence was not sufficient to determine that you did commit the crime, thus not meeting its burden of proof.
Well of course js development is slow - you can upgrade Rails v1 to differently opinionated Rails v2 on a server overnight. Try upgrading 8 billion people to a browser that supports eg. ES6.
The full list of potential indications is included in the AD. It also describes the operation of the trim system under MCAS control.

You can see them in the Lion Air preliminary report linked above.

Pilots are trained to deal with partial panel situations. The mantra is pitch + power = performance. In VMC this should be well within the capibilities of a normal pilot, put the nose on the horizon and set something like 65% power.
Museum of Failure. I'm pretty sure I have some projects worthy of inclusion.
People REALLY underestimate how much those opinions help when it comes to software development. If you start a project or new feature and your team is going to have lots of opinions on how something should get done. It’s typically easier for people to ingest the idea that something is “best practices” than have to follow whatever someone in the room is saying.

If the platform is too unopinionated you will generally wind up with:
1) A project with many competing ideas (most js projects I see end up like this)
Or
2) A team with some people feeling like they are not heard

REI trail 40: https://www.rei.com/product/136586/rei-co-op-trail-40-pack-m...

It's great for commuting: fits large laptops in sleeve, has space for 2 mugs on each side (coffee and water), and has 2 support straps (chest and waist). It's also good for hiking and travelling. I've had mine for 4.5 years and it still going strong.
I wasn't saying that the length of the commute itself was unusual, but rather that it was a lengthy car commute that was unable to be replaced by public transit.

In the case of many other countries, like Japan or Germany, most people's commutes can be accomplished reasonably efficiently with public transportation (often public transportation is even faster due to traffic).
I’ve been doing magic half professionally on and off for almost a decade now. Basically, I don’t do card tricks anymore and the reason is simple - if you were to do real magic, would you do it with playing cards?

On a side note, revealed card tricks on YouTube were my pain in the butt for a long time, but I don’t care anymore.
And yet Quora culture is much less toxic. Maybe they had the right idea? It's kind of like Something Awful vs 4chan situation. Or public toilet vs paid toilet.

This might be splitting hairs, but MCAS is not there to prevent stalling. It's there to meet a specific certification requirement on control stick forces at high angles of attack. Yes the intent of the requirement is to reduce the tendency of the pilot to pitch up too much near the stall. But MCAS doesn't prevent stalling.

Modern aircraft have many automatic systems that are there to make the pilot's job easier. That doesn't mean they are unsafe to fly if those systems malfunction and have to be disabled.
Enterprise IoT Solution Can Accelerate Your Business in 2019
Whoa, so I do like the Wirecutter link just because first you have to identify your needs. Then you have to identify your budget and what else is important to you. I have a lovely Swiss Guard laptop (and more) backpack I use every day, but I also have a $10 Best Buy thin and light backpack that is perfect for my ultrabook when I'm heading to Dungeons and Dragons. I see these $400 recommendations, and I think - OK if money is no object and you have some sort of really high end needs that fit the bill, that might make sense. But is that you?
Inpatient care for many major procedures are bundled under Medicare. This is actually the reimbursement for the entire hospitalization.

Yes many places lose money in Medicare as it probably reimburses at around 80% of cost but it’s the only data we have, so it provides the closest thing to a national comparison.

My point is that what this article ultimately shows is that the cross border comparison can generate striking numbers but almost all articles like this never place the Indian “cheap” numbers in context.
The End of the New Deal Era–and the Coming Realignment
Is it the responsibility of any project/startup to find out who the LPs are for a VC fund? Sometimes this information is not only inaccessible, it would be illegal for you to know. Especially in a case where - wait for it - a sovereign wealth fund might be involved.

So... call me crazy, but I don’t think Leonardo DiCaprio did anything wrong here. I’m sure he’s used to rich aholes giving him money and trying to buddy up with him all the time, why would one seem more suspicious than the others?

My dumbest backpacking mistake was that time I was walking over a footbridge and I decided for fun to use my arms to lift myself on the guardrails forgetting my center of gravity was behind me with my pack on. It wasn’t long before I was flat on my back staring at the sky.

I used a Booq backpack (not the one they currently sell) for the better part of a decade before the internal wood pieces broke. I used it for days in a wide variety of environments and it was excellent. Internal space was a bit limited at times, but it was professional looking and fairly water resistant.
There is. It would be inconsistent of them.
Make a routine and commit to it, like going to the gym, or brushing your teeth. You just find time to carve out in the day to practice/learn, even if its like twenty minutes. Typically I would use this time to actually DO something - work through a tutorial, write a scraper to scrape NBA data, try some new library, etc. If you have a particularly helpful book on your topic, then use the time to read that (and preferably practice the material in the book).

I always found the Jerry Seinfeld method helpful - he would commit to writing material every single night, and mark his calendar with an X when he was done. Over time, he built up such a streak that it became almost second nature - he had come so far he did not want to break his streak, and break up that marvelous chain of 'X's on his calendar.

That may be because you wrote Russian nationalist (a person with strong patriotic feelings), when you possibly meant Russian national (a citizen of a particular country).

The $10 Amazon Basics backpack. Laptop sleeve, big hole that has straps for my back for everything else. Small pocket in front with zipper. So far lasted 4 years in the rain and weather with its thin cordura. Why complicate things?
For regular laptops my Togo Designs daypack works really well. It's been my daily backpack as well as through rainy bus stops and out hiking with no show of wear.

Funny you should ask, but as someone who's left Russia 8 years ago to come to the US, I'm now considering other options. There's a lot of reasons, but Trump is definitely one of the big ones.

ISPs as a group blocking IP-level access to portions of the web is far and above a different thing than a private company or a group of private companies refusing to host content on their servers that they do not want to host. Your attempt to conflate the two is moving the goalposts and arguing a slippery slope.

But even then, VPN or Tor? The internet is built to route around damage. Has Mastadon, IRC, or ICQ ever been blocked?

Again, just because white nationalists don't have the platforms they want doesn't mean they can't get their message out. But what they want is mainstream acceptance, and that is most certainly not going to happen.

I know a Russian national who moved from Moscow to Warsaw and, for the time being, is not planning on returning.

The reasons are not political though. Even though her salary effectively halved, she says her quality of life generally improved, because:

1. The weather is better.

2. The food is better.

3. People are nicer.

Which caught me off guard somewhat because Poland is not really known for any of these things.

Hell, for the exactly same reasons I spend a considerable fraction of the year in Italy instead of Warsaw where I'm based.
Thule Covert
- Laptop Sleeve
- Remove-able DSLR Camera Insert
- Ability to separate top and bottom components
- Water resistant

The bag is a bit on the heavy side (5lb), and a bit on the pricy side ($180), but I absolutely love it. Use if every day for almost 2 years. Laptop, Work, Photo Gigs, Groceries, Bike Commuting, etc.

The concept is to have the object as the input and having ARGOS follow and adapt to make the object behave as if it were on another planet. If a person were testing for Mars, ARGOS would make a 100 pound barbell feel like only 38 pounds. Change the environment to Jupiter and the 100 pound barbell would feel like 240 pounds. It is designed to simulate conditions, not support what is already on Earth.

As for the helicopter, ARGOS had to adapt its weight relative to Earth by pulling it up enough to simulate lighter conditions on Mars.
The outcome of such approach is very few surprises when running the code, because the code behaves how you think it should behave.

And when it doesn't, you know exactly where to look to find the problem and often its solution.

For me that's the biggest payoff of reading the documentation or skimming it multiple times, it's a huge time saver when things inevitably go wrong.

Then there's also the ability to think within the whole scope of the lib as opposed to the specific thing you pulled it in for.

5.11 Rush24. I bought it for travel, it doesn't even have a laptop compartment. But all my laptop backbacks, some fancier than others, fell apart and I've just defaulted to using this instead as it will not die. The compartment design also turns out to be perfect, even though I've owned a lot of other bags that are more "clever". I've used the accessory loops to add a drink holder for a 1 liter bottle which otherwise is a rare option on a bag.
Trump is very bad, but the more worrying thing is that which he is a symptom of. That does make my family consider leaving often. Put it this way, if trump had acted like a reasonable person during the election, then gotten elected, and acted like he does now, and americans were apalled by it and his approval rating were 20%, and congress rebuked him, I wouldn't worry at all.

That his approval rating holds steady at 42% no matter how awful he gets, and that congress supports him is what is super disturbing.
Yeah, to be clear I think you the OpenSSH maintainers are quite responsive to people who aren't using CVS (in particular, thank you for digging into https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2863 which didn't even have a patch!). I just want to be clear that people who look at what you're doing and say "OpenSSH is using an obscure process, that's what makes it high-quality" are misguided and should not implement such policies in their own products. It's not what you're doing, and if it were, it wouldn't work.
Same thing is happening in India. But I have noticed that sometimes you will get cheaper food by calling the food joints.

One side affect of this whole food delivery is that we are eating more from restaurants compared to before when we used to go and eat maybe once in 15 days.

Add to it there are always deals going on from the delivery companies.

As for LGBT - once the society is truly free, tons of people come forward with it. You would be surprised how many around you would fall into this category. I could witness this trend in 3 different countries as it unfolded.

Another thing is, since this 'freedom' for LGBT is relatively very new, most of them experienced very troubled childhood/puberty. It must have been very hard to fit in, not disappoint parents etc. yet feeling so out of place compared to rest of the crowd. Russia as a nation would benefit greatly from such an openness in long term, but I can't see it happening anytime soon.

Been there once (Elbrus), generally common folks are really nice, but this soviet mindset of fuck-it-all-lets-drink-some-vodka (and other like that) are bane of a modern free Russian society. One of examples how just having a lot of smart people isn't enough if there is enough negative things to counter-balance it. World moved to greener pastures, but Russia still seems like stuck in 1991.

The US fomented a coup in Ukraine, an effort the Atlantic Council was deeply involved in, and the east of Ukraine has historically always been a part of Russia. We're presently overtly looting the place 3 ways to Christmas; something you'd know if we had a media system which allowed people to notice. FWIIW I've been in Crimea before the annexation, and my informal poll is those people wanted to be part of Russia (they tried to secede from Ukraine in 95).

Wake me up when Russia foments a coup in Canada and the US annexes Vancouver or whatever.

Russian government isn't nice, but the US and Nato have done nothing but make the situation worse, and justify Russian repression.
Best way to learn is to read the necessary information once or twice, then just do it.

If you're taking an exam, learn it by taking practice exams and looking up what you get wrong.

If you're building an application, build it, mess up, then rebuild it.

If you're learning a language, memorize the basic nouns and verbs, then jump in and start writing and speaking in that language. Look up what you don't know, then jump back in and keep on keeping on.

Use mental maps and word associations for memorizing.

Reading while walking helps me a lot surprisingly.

Learn stuff right before you sleep and you're brain will process the information while you sleep.

Exercise to keep your mind right. It's another way to meditate, but you also get a healthy body.
All of this. Your brain needs time to convert short term to long term. There are also techniques for memory like mind palaces which can assist learning.
I mean, you have power over their lives with force. You can decide at a moment's notice that their livelihoods could be taken away. Or, you could sell your company to someone who would do that. A union just levels the playing field.
I'm not going to defend Boeing's conduct here for one moment, but I do think your statement is an over-reaction. The company employs 150,000 people, it contributes billions to the US economy, and builds significant aerospace know-how in the US. I imagine we could come up with lots of reasons why Boeing is a net positive.
These crashes are tragic and Boeing's conduct deserves condemnation, but a solution that keeps the company going and fixes the culture that led to this seems to be a far better solution than them going out of business entirely.
