Encoding Either as a product `(a, error)` instead of a sum `a | error` is a pretty big difference.

It becomes even sillier when you have to also signal "not found" with something like `(a, bool, error)` instead of `Found a | NotFound | Error error`
I wouldn't necessarily call Go's concurrency model superior, it seem like that initially but after all hype died out a bit it has issues. It essentially just offers one way to do concurrency. That might fit really well for some problems, not so much for others.

I don't know what to say about native binaries, when a Go's "hello world" app is as big as an entire os[1].

Perhaps I'll upset some, but IMO Go would be another obscure language that no one cared about if it didn't come from Google.

If you use code blocks for quotes you can make it more readable by introducing a few extra newlines:

"By 2014, the hardware components of a DIY artificial
pancreas—a small insulin pump that attaches via thin
disposable tubing to the body and a continuous sensor

were available,"

That should be readable on most devices without needing to scroll left/right.
How many people know enough to "think for themselves" in this area? How many are going to know anything beyond what the manufacturers' advertisements say?

> Until the point that we are free to think for ourselves, we are all subject to the fumbling incompetence and cynical malfeasance of the regulatory cartel.

I've worked for FDA-regulated medical device manufacturers twice. I didn't enjoy the experience, and no one would call them efficient, but they do not deserve the venom you are pouring on them.

> The FDA’s mandate is morally equivalent to the mandate present on every street corner in every hood in America: “Nobody but me and my gang sells drugs on my block.”

You rather badly need to re-calibrate your moral compass. Their mandate is "Nobody gets to poison people on my block. Nobody gets to create junk devices that kill people on my block." That is in no way morally equivalent to a gang of drug dealers.

DNDEmail (https://dndemail.com) adds do not disturb features to Gmail. I built it for myself and then opened it up to others. Basically, it keeps your inbox empty on all devices, and delivers all your new messages on a schedule you determine.

I have 1600 sign-ups, 500 active users, and 22 paying customers. The post-beta conversion to paying account rate is 1.7%. The site has only been marketed on the Chrome Webstore where it has a 5 star rating and 40 real reviews. It gets 3-5 new sign-ups per day.

It is built on google app engine. Python, Django, and Google NDB datastore.

There is an accelerating level of evidence that fasting results in decreased rates of disease and increased longevity. In particular, it appears that having the body in a fat-burning mode during sleep facilitates more effective cellular maintenance and repair. Note that fasting is not calorie restriction. Calories can still be normal. The key point seems to be having long periods of no eating. There is even evidence that having just one meal a day (breakfast) might be the best schedule of all. I would not call any of it definitive, but I have found the studies more than compelling enough to change my own eating habits and encourage friends and family to do likewise.

I'm not sure that's even clear. "The money was frozen and they told me that it would stay that way" What is "the" money. The only money mentioned prior to that is the $1300. No where does the user say all money was lost except the $1300. They say their account was closed, were they sitting on a ton of cash in their account that they didn't transfer out? They don't state that.

> There is a reason: the main purpose of the tokamak is a jobs creation program for high-neutron-flux physicists, to maintain a population to draw upon for weapons work.

No, that is completely misleading. The reason is that pB fusion requires 10 times higher plasma temperatures which are a much bigger problem then some neutron irradiation.

Neutron irradiation problem can be managed by using materials that don't generate long-lived isotopes on neutron capture and occasionally replacing the embrittled materials. Which are orthogonal solutions to solutions required for the already-difficult plasma containment for D-T fusion.
My understanding is that it's an ethical decision about not killing an animal (or some animals) or directly supporting the killing of an animal. Hunting would be in conflict with this decision. The consequences around an animal's killing are irrelevant here.
That, to me, is a pretty solid argument in support of the parent -- that deregulating medical devices will strongly benefit the scammers you mentioned, rather than benefiting patients desperate for something to help.

And actually, you can get quite far with the free TeamCity license of three build agents and 100 build configs. I’m also fairly sure that Jetbrains would take kindly to license requests from open-source projects and academia.
I'm not at all ashamed, nor a single bit remorseful to comment on the fact that it took a catastrophic data loss for a team I once worked with to finally sit down and look at our CI/CD pipeline before deciding "Maybe jenkins is overkill for what we need".

Which was something I had been kvetching about for months and expressly warned, multiple times to our release manager as a point of concern given how quickly plugin vulnerabilities are reported (as someone comment on elsewhere in the thread).

The day finally came when someone from one of our other offices went to update some infrastructure as code repos, poof. Jenkins server gone. They didn't have a roll back plan, and to complete the trifecta, they somehow also killed all of the instance volume backups. An entire sprint was summarily dedicated to creating a new build pipeline, I had resumes out the door the next day.

This article hits so many of our pain points I joked to a current coworker who followed me out of that place that I wanted to print it and mail it to our former RM.

The ReWalk is a great device for adults with spinal cord injury as an example. The Trexo is specifically designed for children as a therapeutic device. Compared to adults who might have had spinal cord injury, children generally do not have upper body strength and in many cases have low bone densities. By building around a walker that many children already have and use we have eliminated the risk of falling and also have the ability to increase the weight bearing over time.

Jenkins's plugin manager is absolutely terrible.

If you're stuck on an older version of Jenkins, you better not click the "refresh" button in the plugin management page, cause otherwise the page is just filled with red warnings saying that the latest version of each plugin is incompatible or has dependencies that are incompatible with your current Jenkins version.

There is afaik no way to install the last plugin that was compatible with your version of Jenkins.

> 30-fold increase of prosperity of ordinary people

And here I thought the 30-fold increase of prosperity of ordinary people came about because we now have ubiquitous access to what, in pre-industrial times, was considered unlimited amounts of energy.

Stop producing electricity, stop burning coal, stop pumping oil, and you'll very quickly see prosperity regress to pre-industrial levels, regardless of what economic deity you worship.

For over a decade these publications haven't had copyeditors who review every article prior to publication and tweak the prose and correct obvious errors. It's not uncommon to have obvious spelling and grammatical errors as well in once great publications.
> Except that you cannot easily chain calls that return errors, or it isn't really that hard to accidentally ignore errors because of shadowing or overwriting the variable you're storing your errors in. Or the fact that using a union type to represent errors is a strictly superior way, both in terms of usability, as well as correctness. People should just face the fact that returning errors as a product type is a mistake.

These are still essentially the same. Errors are returned as values, with no major difference in runtime semantics. Whether the language supports union types is orthogonal to that.

> You may want to see what approaches Akka or Erlang takes here. golang authors just decided to ignore established practices and use clunky approaches to problems that have already been solved.

There's not one solution, there are multiple solutions with various tradeoffs. The tradeoffs Go made are congruent with its tenets as a language that values simplicity and low cognitive overhead.

Great idea! I absolutely support this! But it still feels a way too radical for today society to accept. They just want to outlaw whatever they feel like they dislike and call this democracy.

But I've just came up with another compromise idea that can make sense for both progressive and conservative: committing victim-less crimes, doing whatever is outlawed yet doesn't actually harm anybody (like possessing or producing a schedule-1 substance for personal use) should never be considered a crime punishable with a prison sentence but can be considered an administrative infraction punishable with a reasonable (what a person can actually pay without becoming homeless or having to get a loan) fine.

New stance for Google.

As for "don't be evil" that became useless a long time ago, it was just an invitation for everyone to describe their pet hate as "evil" even when that was clearly over the top. When I worked there I routinely saw trivial things like reskins of Gmail be described as evil (because we're ignoring feedback from users who didn't like it!). The word became debased to the point that it was worthless to even have such a slogan.

All the current issues are morally debatable at best, and simply not evil at worst. Even if you consider the US military hopelessly bloated, for example, is their view that the USA shouldn't have an army to defend itself at all? If not, why not, and how is it consistent with wanting Google to not be involved in such matters?

I think the model is rather:
a) buy long-term leases at low price
b) sell short-term leases at high price

The problem with this model is that when demand for real estate falls (e.g. because of economic cycles, trends/tastes, etc.) the revenues will evaporate and the costs will remain.
GitHub the most valuable social network
I would say it really comes down to the use case. If you're already using TLS and have the infrastructure for key management, issuing certs, etc. It's not worth replacing.

To me, where WireGuard comes in is for services that aren't traditionally encrypted, or where an extra layer of security is desired.

The example case that we've seen a few times is cluster DNS. The DNS traffic internal to the cluster is just plain DNS, meaning it leaks internal information and can be tampered with on an untrusted network. Even though CoreDNS does support DNS over TLS, it's a large effort to update clients in some organizations, that is better spent elsewhere.

This is where we see the opportunity for WireGuard, is ensuring all internal traffic is encrypted. For taking applications where the security model traditionally requires a secure network, and allowing them to be forklifted into a kubernetes cluster that provides those capabilities. I'm not saying this is an ideal model over using mTLS for every connection, just not everyone has what's needed to deliver mTLS everywhere.

Unfortunately, we do lose the identity features that TLS offers in the x509 certs. Nothing prevents running TLS for services that need it though on top of the WireGuard network.

So like everything else, I think there are pros and cons to both approaches, and it depends on what applies to the specific application.

I hope that helps.
Actually it uses webdriver to generate the tests so while we only commit the chrome tests (for simplicity) it is easy enough to run the other browsers locally as long as they support webdriver (which most/all do).

Marriott to Take on Airbnb in Booming Home-Rental Market
'Climate Emergency' Declared by Welsh Government
I read this: https://www.minitab.com/en-us/Published-Articles/Weather-For...

And I extrapolated the results into forecasting the climate for 100 or 1,000 years from now and drew the conclusion that we are trying to model a complex system that can be affected drastically by small changes to the inputs of that system, and that we don't even come close to 1) understanding all the inputs into our climate, 2) do not understand the proper weighting of those inputs in a prediction model, and 3) even if we knew parts 1) and 2), our computational ability to account for both properly and produce a reliable prediction model doesn't exist.

Because of the nature of complex systems, making predictions on them is mathematically impossible. They're a non-reducible emergent behavior.
> Go's error handling is essentially the same as Error/Either/StatusOr (returning errors as values).

Not really, it's very annoying to chain calls which can error. Also, as another commenter mentioned, functions which can potentially fail should return sum types and not product types.

Compare:

do first <- computeFirst
second <- computeSecond
return $ f first second

and

first, err := computeFirst()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
second, err := computeSecond()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return f(first, second), nil

Even without do-notation the Haskell is considerably shorter:

computeFirst >>= (\first ->
computeSecond >>= (\second ->
return $ f first second))

Agreed about exceptions, though; I dislike them as well.

Hello, I hope you are doing well?
I have a dream project in my mind and I wanna realize it, I am not a dev or not yet I am just a beginner!
there is the project:
Professional website & Professional android app & Professional ios app!!
-they should be like this: https://www.ouedkniss.com/ (not the same business ) but more Professional in Arabic French English Turkish & Chinese
-I want also a forum in the site where peoples can post and comment & like
-the website should be included by map
-the design of the web & app should be attracted and Professional!!-HIGH security
the question is: what I should hire like developers
please can u give me just an estimate of how much is going to cost me just the fees of developing
and where I can hire pro developers?
Thank You very much & sorry for disturb.
Best regards.

I'm still pretty new to devops and I personally love Jenkins but man is it a PITA at times. My biggest gripe is that every plug-in seems to be no longer actively maintained.

I feel you, but why are your jenkins pipelines so complicated? I feel like your workplace's deployable artifacts should follow a familiar pattern and there should not be much guessing/re-inventing the wheel with jenkins scripts.

Like others in this thread, I don't really get the point of WeWork.

I'm 100% remote and I prefer working at coffee shops, campuses (UCLA, SMCC), or libraries -- I prefer my environment to feel less like "work" and more "creative." I also get to interact with a largely diverse group of people (as opposed to mostly tech people that work at WeWork). Going to a coffee shop is also cheaper (I buy ~2 items a day), I get to meet neighbors, plug myself into my local community, and sometimes even make small talk with cute girls.

I think a good idea might be "reserving" seats at cool spots around town (coffee shops, bookstores, etc.) -- would be cheaper than a WeWork and (I think) more desireable. Think ClassPass for co-working.
