Apart from the right to bear arms, what is different? Many people even see that as a benefit to the UK.
I've only followed the modules controversy tangentially, but I did go to a presentation by Sam Boyer, where he started getting emotional and muttering about organizing some sort of resistance movement. Russ Cox made it a point for Go's regex library to have bounded worst-case performance at the cost of worse average time, and Go's fast compilation times are a source of pride for the core team. That they would frown on a dependency management system like dep that is based on a NP-complete algorithm doesn't seem to have struck Sam as a total deal-breaker. In this respect I am fully behind Cox. As the OP says, the Go team has taste, and I want them to keep the language simple, sane and manageable, not a monstrosity like C++, Java and now sadly Python as well.
Go is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum between Lua (dictatorship) and C++ (endless politicking).
Agreed, there are dozens of ways to say no, and choosing the right one for a particular email is a much more important choice than what phrase you use to say yes.

That is why simplicity is important, because less is more. All code is ultimately debt as it demands some amount of maintenance. When there is less to maintain there is ultimately less debt.

Has that ever happened to you as a software developer? The one time I was told to learn a new language I was allowed the time and space to learn it.
A problem as in "people of that nationality causing problems" probably not as much.

A problem as in "it is against our current immigration rules" technically it is correct. Numerically it's probably around < 1% possibly around 0.1%

They are not wrong. I am Russian living in Europe, occasionally visiting the US.

Here in Switzerland, and to a lesser extent in the rest of the western Europe, I will always feel like an immigrant. It is cultural, there is always a divide of those who lived here before and those two came after. Perhaps only my children or their children will be able to fully integrate here.

In the US it is different. There are a lot of hurdles to overcome to get there, including very insensitive TSA employees who have arbitrary powers over you, but when I come out of the airport building — I am an American. A Russian American, yes, but still there are nearly no differences in the attitude compared to everybody else. People are friendly and helpful, no matter if I speak with some strange accent or don’t look like a local. This is amazing, it is something that Americans take for granted, but it is a very big deal.
Totally agree failure should be announced for another object to observe and decide to do something about.

I didn't feel the author got the messaging part. 'You send some data to an object' kind of misses the point.

Going back to Kay's inspiration in cellular function the messaging is more a broadcast, though proximity matters as far as which other cell responds (Internet routing tables are a good approximation but you need something more dynamic to allow objects to be created and destroyed).
It certainly is the worst audio player, clipping like no tomorrow. No plugins, audio level at 100% or below. I know it must clip if levels are above 100%, but in this case it must be just a decoder bug.
"Corporations are people, my friend!"

Corporations are certainly not pass through entities. They own assets, they exert influence on society. They benefit from government institutions. They amass wealth so that they can spend it to their benefit.

Maybe, like people, it makes more sense to tax them on revenue then on profit so they cannot invert to a cheaper jurisdiction?

Or am I a pass through entity? Arguably, most actual people are more pass through entities with respect to money then corporations. Corporations are far more likely than most individuals to amass wealth.
You know, you will be surprised that the charts of biggest illegal immigrant nationalities worldwide is topped by Swiss citizens.

I was thinking today why not just create an overlay network on top of the internet that throws-back to a place without corporations or governments?... Back to the 90s internet. With its own DNS servers, etc. Which does not resolve anything outside of the overlay network. So no facebook, no Google, no cloud services... Maybe a user run directory like Yahoo! used to be. Nothing but realms run by webmasters. A walled garden of the people by the people for the people.

> What type is the creature if it's exactly halfway between being a Tadpole and a Frog?

It's an animal. The type checker will make sure you don't try to water() it. Static typing does not have to mean infinitely granular typing (though of course typing everything "statically" as any is pointless).
Let me make a list:

- Better TV.

- Much Better Food.

- Higher paying jobs.

- Bigger cars, bigger roads.

- Second Amendment.

- First Amendment.

- Lower Taxes (income and sales).

- Ability to not talk to the Police and not have that used against you.

- More likely to succeed if you start a business. Shark Tank > Dragons Den UK.

- More likely to get funding if you decide to get an Angel / VC and higher amounts with lower equity.

- More likely to have FFF rounds fund 6 figure seed for startup. Everyone I know in the UK is skint because of zero hours and high taxes and no savings.

- 325m vs 66m in population. Therefore a much higher population to sell a product to locally and regionally. Not the same in the UK. Small business more prevalent in the US also, easier time to sell B2B.

I've spent probably close to 4 years now in the US. Lived and worked in many states. The US outclasses the UK by many margins.

Here's one for you. I'm living in the UK now, it's actually detrimental to bootstrapping a business. Tell me, what does the UK give you that the US doesn't.

Oh that's right, healthcare is the biggest one. Yeah, I'll give you that one. Nothing else though!
I agree it looks like Apple is the only mobile vendor who's business seems to align well with a vision like this. They're already taking steps in that direction, which are hard for rivals to take because this approach closes off revenue opportunities for them.

Every now and then I see a suggestion we should move towards federated services and mesh networks because it would give people more control and freedom, but the cost of that is complexity. It's like the classic reply on HN when Dropbox was announced, along the lines of why would anyone ever want this when they can 'just' run rsync against an SVN repository?

Any solution that expects average users to become sysadmins is DOA. It was true when people were pushing for it in the 90s and it's still true now.

It's still mostly promise, you only pull off using it for day-to-day unix-based dev if you're willing to put in a lot of effort, jump through hoops, address unanticipated conditions, and otherwise engage in a lot of yak-shaving.
I do all my work on a vanilla 13" MBP, it works just fine. I also use 13" Linux and Windows laptops almost daily, and the "touchpad experience" there is indeed painful.

> Also, you can use the external Apple trackpad they sell with any OS.

I think the problem isn't the hardware, but the software (or more likely a combination of both). The MBP touchpad under Windows with Bootcamp is also quite terrible.
Next thing destruction of property is also called violence.

Let's think of the abolition of slavery as an example. This was a huge, important change that came about by civil resistance: slave owners were mostly backed by law during the period of resistance.

It was not non-violent, especially if destruction of property (e.g. freeing a slave) is counted as an act of violence against the slave owner/ law. I do not believe this change was easier to provoke non-violently and/or non-property-destructively.

Interestingly, 'villages of people with wildly different customs and traditions going back 1500-2000 years' is basically the opposite of what's meant by 'diversity' today, which is a high population of newly arrived immigrants.

The former exists precisely because people historically didn't mingle much.
Sounds good! Thanks.
If you were, which I doubt, I would assume you didn't move around much or went to vacations in and around Europe. I would recommend doing that at some point, it's lovely.
What does Apple recommend wrt keeping a MBP always plugged in? That's what I do almost all the time, but I'm curious what they say about it.
That's true, but I don't think any other state of affairs is possible. Compare this selection from SPQR:

> The first word of the second book of Livy's History, which begins the story of Rome after the monarchy, is 'free'; and the words 'free' and 'freedom' are together repeated eight times in the first few lines alone. The idea that the Republic was founded on libertas rings loudly throughout Roman literature, and it has echoed through radical movements in later centuries, in Europe and America. It is no coincidence that the slogan of the French Revolution -- Liberté, égalité, fraternité -- puts 'liberty' in pride of place; nor that George Washington spoke of restoring 'the sacred fire of liberty' to the West; nor that the drafters of the United States Constitution defended it under the pseudonym of 'Publius', taken from the name of Publius Valerius Publicola, another of the earliest consuls of the Republic. But how was Roman liberty to be defined?

> That was a controversial question in Roman political culture for the next 800 years, through the Republic and into the one-man rule of the Roman Empire, when political debate often turned on how far libertas could ever be compatible with autocracy. Whose liberty was at stake? How was it most effectively defended? How could conflicting versions of the freedom of the Roman citizen be resolved? All, or most, Romans would have counted themselves as upholders of libertas, just as today most of us uphold 'democracy'. But there were repeated and intense conflicts over what that meant.

Fisher-Yates is the generalization of what is known as the "7-bag randomizer" in the Tetris community (same problem: you want to distribute 7 pieces randomly but want to avoid repetition). It's funny how what you think as inconsequential trivia about your niche hobby can turn out in unexpected places !

Big market. 300 million people. Plus I'm here and I'd like to think I'm a pretty big deal.

Rather than attack the US as a whole, why not just attack the inane policies. We don't all support everything that goes on here. It's not as if elsewhere in the world there are no places with no problems.
The border control system is full of these gotchas and opportunities for arbitrary harsh punishments. Just off the top of my head, and a mix of US and UK:

* Be careful saying you are travelling for "business" or "work". The two words mean about the same in everyday use, but at a border check one is perfectly fine and one is a giant no-no.

* You apply for a 30-day visa and are granted a 90-day visa. If you decide to extend your trip to 90 days you can be banned for misrepresentation.

* The whole thing with "intention to immigrate" that is basically policing your internal mental state. It's perfectly fine to travel to America on a non-immigrant visa, decide you like it there and apply for a change of status or a new immigrant visa. Someone who planned to do that from the beginning is violating their visa, but of course it's impossible to prove unless they slip up.

* There are many situations where you are allowed to stay in a country, but if you go on any trip to an other country you will not be let back in. For example if you are waiting for an extension application. Not fun if a parent is suddenly sick in hospital and you want to see them before they die.
Most Netflix productions aren't really for me. After many disappointments I now see Netflix originals as something to avoid.
I do think many people are looking a bit envious towards the US right now. Not because of their primitive social systems or paranoid border checks, but their commitment to freedom. Is that enough? I really do think so.

I live in a state with very strong social security without too paranoid immigration laws, but I still would try to get a job in the US if I had no attachments or commitments.

I also do believe it is far easier to integrate in American society and be accepted than anywhere in Europe.
As someone who, like you, was born in Europe, I feel like half of those points are open for debate and the other half are nonsensical. Are you saying that the nation that is the home of the Flint water crisis and has a weaker Environmental Protection Agency than ever is something you move to in order to get "cleaner air and water"?

What do you mean when you say "diversity"? Have you been to the mid west? There are "un-diverse" and "diverse" areas of almost every country. People in the US are "optimistic"? "Friendly" and "humble"? The claim that Americans are "humble" when compared internationally is almost laughable (probably even by most americans), and I doubt that "friendliness" is really something you see drastic differences in around the globe. For the the last one there's no need to ask your gut because there are studies made regarding in what countries people feel the most optimistic about the future. As a matter of fact, most of them have pointed out China as the most optimistic country, which may make sense in a perspective of economical relative growth, but it doesn't on its own make me want to buy an apartment in Shanghai.
Cant Get Enough of This
I lived in the UK for two years (as a European), and I couldn't leave fast enough. Adjectives that I would use to describe British culture: miserable, passive-aggressive to the point of dishonesty, complaining, petty, distrustful of everyone to the point of paranoia.

There are obviously many great British people and not everyone is like that, but the overall way people treat each other? Yeah nah, not for me.

I'm not saying US doesn't have its problems, but they're of a very different nature.

I have very bad opinion on this feature overall, but now i am curious; how did you measure people wanting to say No and not finding a quick reply? And then how did you measure the quality of the No available on the test set?
Alan Kay and Missing Messages
I'm almost 100% certain at some point someone said that this would only ever be used to stop Bin Laden style terrorists, and now people are browsing through intimate text conversations to ban people on trivial technicalities from allied countries.

The problem is not that this person received a harsh punishment, but that we will continue sliding down this slippery slope. Next thing you know, this won't be limited to our borders. We'll have minority style report pre-crime punishments. This guy was essentially punished before he even committed his crime (overstaying in the US).
土地是国家的。
> Or the other time when I helped fix my coworkers code, made a pr for it, and upon review the only thing my coworker had to say was how the white space is messed up.
> Not even a thank you for assisting with the code.

This is a trap I personally find myself falling in to when reviewing: when doing PRs, I only comment on the things that I think need to be changed, so my communication is sometimes entirely negative, apart from a final positive "[approve]" or "[merge]". I try to make at least one positive comment in all PR reviews, but don't always remember.

I wouldn't comment about this if it is a one-off incident. But if you receive always-negative reviews from a particular coworker, you could try having a quiet chat with them one day (maybe buy them a coffee...) and explain your concern: when they only give you negative feedback during PRs, you don't feel your efforts are appreciated. Could they try to remember to give some positive feedback about parts of your work that they like during reviews as well? If you do this, try to gauge if your colleague is having a good day -- if they are not in a good mood, it won't be the time for them to be receptive to negative feedback.

> Like that time I spent weeks on code and met with my manager all for my manager to say "cool. Did you grab your next jira card?"
> [...] my manager communicates as if he could care less.

Similarly, if you find this is a recurring pattern with your manager, depending on your relationship, you can also try having a private conversation with your manager, explain how you perceive their behaviour, how it makes you feel, suggest a change in their behaviour. If you do this, you may get a bit of push back from your manager along the lines of "you took too long to deliver that card, we need to you to work faster, cut quality if necessary for the next ticket" or whatever. You might not want to hear something like that, but if your priorities are different to your manager's priorities, it is better to learn about that earlier!
Battery at 74%. Sitting at black screen for about a minute, the highest estimate I got was 4:50, lowest 4:05. It was mostly showing numbers close to either of these, almost never something in between.

I've long known my procrastination is born out of anxieties centered around the task or myself.

But I'm so kind to myself that I forgive myself for procrastinating before I've even done it - a great example of the many ways/excuses to defeat most anti-procrastination techniques I've come up with :)))

I even wonder how much my propensity toward picking up new hobbies (which usually involves spending decent amounts of money aka "shopping") before getting bored, selling everything (which I usually put off until I physically can't accommodate more stuff) and repeating the process is actually just me avoiding doing life stuff like saving for a house and being a responsible adult.

I eat takeaway because I "don't have time" but then I don't actually get things I need to do done AND find myself becoming more and more unhealthy.

I often get asked "what have you done today?" and it's quite frequent for me to not really even know (or care to admit).

Interestingly, I went away on holiday the other week - when I arrived home, before I even paused (shoes still on), I immediately started doing things I'd been putting off for months, like I had an urge despite there being no more time pressure than at any point in the past 12 months that I had regularly ignored.

Procrastination, and being with it, is a large part of my life. I find it incredibly interesting but if I could pay a large sum of money to take it away in an instant, I'd hand over the cash immediately. (And thus, this is another example of my aversion to difficult work)
VLC being the worst thing ever was a meme back in 2007. Everyone saying that he used it got flamed into oblivion.
It depends on your product, the market you are in etc. There is no silver bullet. A very generic answer would be: prices are relative. Start by finding things on the market that are similar to your solution. Analyse their value proposition and price. Compare their solution with what you offer.
