Hopefully they won't implement generics.
I worked for a fully-remote company for two years. One of the major issue with remote is the loss of communication and spontaneous conversations. Our company did a good job by having mandatory, regular Slack meetings and get-togethers every 6 months. But then again, you can't replicate those "water cooler conversations" or "lunch break brainstormings"...

At the end of the day you are accepting a bit of a tradeoff between cost/talent availability and communication bandwidth.
> GPUs are simply the 1980s style SIMD super-computers

May be a terminology thing, or a technology I don't know, but I though '80s supercomputers like crays were vector processors, whereas I'm not aware of any commercial super at the time being SIMD (AKA array processor).
Intentionally so. It's not a deficiency or a footgun, it's a design decision to be aware of. Redis is an in-memory database first.

You can configure Redis for durability. The docs[1] page for persistence has a good examination of the pros and cons.

If I had made Go, no one would be using it right now.

It would be really frustrating for you, because assuming people found out about your language in the first place, it would be shot down for not having generics (or something else), and there wouldn’t be any Google fanboys to come defend it. So much of what’s popular is determined by which company is backing it, whether people want to admit that or not. Pure bandwagoning.

It breaks my heart seeing so many people talk about intelligence. It's not intelligence that matters, it's sense (and experience). Highly intelligent people often fall for scams that 10 high school dropouts wouldn't. My mother is a reasonably computer literate R.N. yet I had to reformat her machine after she fell for a scam. I'd be much less worried about my dad if he used a computer (which he doesn't).

Also, on the Windows vs. Linux debate, a significant number of programs break if you're not running Windows as admin. I just installed Bitdefender and you can't do things like shut down protection to see if it broke something that was working fine if your account isn't admin. Nobody calls this out one Windows. Any programmed who did this on Linux would be hailed as the heir to the throne of idiots.

There is a certain physiological response to conquest that goes beyond satisfaction, especially in males. For example , the fans of a football team having their testosterone levels go up after a win. This translates to every sphere as some kind of reward to domination. That said, just because it's evolutionarily selected for , doesn't mean power relationships and dominaance have any kind of legitimacy or optimality. They are just as primal as our urge to kill, and should be viewed with suspicion.
If it's not a pure tech company I think you can disregard it simply because it's not worth the effort / bad PR for your employer to pursue it. For example I'm currently employed by big tech co and am dabbling with an ecommerce business. Why would my employer subject themselves to probably hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to claim a stake in a processed food startup? Even if the business is worth like 1M-10MM (it's not, maybe it could be in the future, but unlikely) why would they risk hurting their ability to attract talent to make what looks like a rounding error to the organizational budget?
Source code is of limited use if a company decides it is no longer interested and never allowed external developers into the processes that would have, over time, given them the necessary context to run with the project. At that point the only real hope the project has is that some nucleus of people quit the former sponsoring company to keep it going.
And strength is the currency which you can cash out as power or freedom. What you choose is up to you, but you need to be strong to get what you want.
I wonder what happened to so many developers that turned them so jaded and cynical towards scrum and project management. So far I've dealt with the good and bad of scrum with a good pinch of horrendous PMs in the mix, but I still came out of it with a positive view of the framework. It is hard to run it somewhat smooth and takes lots of motivated people to accomplish[1], but the result had a positive impact on my day-to-day work.

1 - Some people said that this can be a failing of scrum and I 100% agree.
>- in what ungodly scenario would a consumer need 1gbps speed on their desktop, let alone on their phone. I consider myself a power internet user (I own an ISP), and even I can't think of many scenarios where I would need more than 50 Mbps of internet speed for a sustained period of time.

On demand streaming of game worlds would be a possible application imo. So instead of downloading the entire game you don't install the world locally but download it as you need it. This could give access to terabyte-sized worlds if done properly. Honestly these would be new markets rather than existing ones.
Right, but why are they the cheapest form of meat? There’s probably some biochemical or energy utilization reason. Perhaps it has to do with chickens being fairly lean meat. I don’t know, but have often wondered.
That supports OP's theory: Ruby wasn't mainstream before Rails.
Of course I agree that if you’re only showing text with a few interactive enhancements, you can probably get away with jquery. The trouble is that too often a few enhancements turns into a few more enhancements, then a lot of enhancements, and then you end up with a huge mess of jquery spaghetti. It quickly becomes comical to claim that jquery would result in fewer bugs than pretty much any post-backbone UI library or framework you can think of.

It wasn't arbitrary. The community dependency solution was half-baked: it couldn't support the case of dependencies relying on multiple major versions of the same module. Even Rust is very careful to allow this, and nobody would describe Rust as being anything other than community-led. That this was the issue was made very clear by tye folks who criticized that solution, btw.
Cool stuff! It reminds me a bit of puzzlescript, although the codebase looks a lot more capable of expansion (tried fixing an issue on Puzzlescript's UI once and... man I found it very hard to read anyway).

Considering the simplicity of the games, making a UI for building the games seems like it'd be pretty easy, do you have any plans for that?
I was not really convinced by that line of argumentation either.

For me, the more convincing argument is that Go would have probably happened in a parallel universe as well. Imagine that Griesemer, Pike, and Thompson had worked another company that gives the freedom to work on personal projects, it is very likely that they had come up with the same language. They have argued in talks that Go was created as an answer to problems that they identified in the development of infrastructure at Google. That may have been a trigger, but Go is firmly rooted in the tradition of C, UNIX, Plan 9, and Limbo and a logical next step in that tradition.

Hence, to me, Go is really Griesemer, Pike, Thompson, and Cox' language and not Google's language.

Of course, the title of the original article that Taylor is reacting to was a bit sensational. But I think the original point was that Go is not a language that is developed by the community, but a small set of people. Whether they are employed by Google, Facebook, Uber, or Zalando is somewhat irrelevant to this debate.
It seems close to simulated annealing in the travelling salesman problem. The basics of it is that you start with a random tour and adjust path segments incrementally. Most of the time, you choose a new path segment that decreases the global route cost, but randomly, you choose a new path segment that increases the global route cost. This random factor is decreased over time, so the route anneals and settles on a close-to-optimal result.

It shares the same principle of choosing reasonable options most of the time, but allowing variation to keep from getting stuck in a local optimum.
If free range chicken makes up 4% of the market, perhaps it’s analogous to a Mercedes Benz...it’s not 4x more expensive to manufacture, but the people who buy it aren’t strictly cost-sensitive.

My guess is that free range chicken should be about 50% more expensive, but the market can handle some aspirational pricing.
That seems like a special case. Kotlin swaps in easily because it was designed to be compatible with Java, and you've bought into the Java ecosystem already.

For someone coming from a different ecosystem, it would be a big jump.
I agree with most of this. If you have non-trivial message handling logic in a production system, you probably shouldn't use SQS directly to drive your work. Your SQS handling logic should be simple and reliable. In most cases, if the handling logic is complex, long-running, or needs operational visibility (logging, monitoring, etc.), I'd write the message handler itself to just kick off a workflow via Step Functions or some other workflow system. You'll pay for that in initial development costs, because it is more complicated (you need to write lambda handlers, wire them up with CloudFormation, etc.), but the tradeoff is that it gives you a central place to look at each unit of work, instead of having your artifacts scattered around various logs (if at all).

The takeaway for me is: distributed systems are hard. If you have distributed workers, you have entered into a vastly more complex realm. SQS gives you some tools to work successfully in that environment, but it doesn't (and can't) get rid of that complexity. Most of the problems I've seen relate to engineers not understanding the fundamental complexity of coordinating distributed work. Your choice of tech stack for your queues isn't going to make a big difference if you don't understand what you're fundamentally dealing with.
I don't think so, I eat (and like) fruit fine? I'm not sure what the symptoms would be, but I generally like fruit (and they satisfy for my sweet cravings very well).

The purpose of an A/B test isn't to always show the best performing result, it's to perform a _controlled scientific experiment_ with a control group, from which you can learn things.

Also, I work in this field and I will just say that people _do_ behave differently based on traffic source: i.e. users coming from Facebook behave alike, but different than traffic from Reddit who act similarly to each other. If you were running a self-optimizing thing like this it _would_ make sense to split it up by the different traffic sources and handle them separately.
The fact that we have so much monoculture soybean fields is that they make up the feed for the animals in Factory farming.

This discussion really depends on how animals experience the world, if we can assign them consciousness and value to their experience, etc. But if we give them some degree of conscious experience, it seems the jungle is far preferable to factory farming.

Would you rather live in a tiny cage stuffed with other people, doing nothing during your short life except eating, or living with a tribe in a jungle/savannah (more or less our natural habitat) ? Remeber you'd not be teached anything, learn no language and wouldn't experience much about the world (its richness) -- the cage is your entire reality. I'd very much prefer the jungle. For the free animal the gruesome death is just an episode to a rich life of hunting, fleeing, nurturing, seeing nature, communcating with others; for the caged one the painless death is just an end to a joyless existence.

That said, I think there are kinds of acceptable compromises... not extremely intensive farming seems reasonable to me. Again, dependent on their ability to experience the world. Chicken seem to have less cognitive experience then cows, for example, so it should be acceptable to not spend as much per individual in controlling their environemnt.

And this line of reasoning suggests a (ethically delicate, but interesting) solution: Should we select (breed) animals for lower cognition, thus making factoring farming acceptable? (or equivalently making acceptable farming practices more efficient) It seems logical. If the animal ultimately has no brain (as weird as that sounds), in principle there doesn't seem to be much difference from lab-growing meat.

Almost every major significant OSS project has a corporate sponsor (usually in the form of paid employees doing the bulk of contributions). Don't see the problem with that.

And it's usually problems people are solving are work that instigate most of these contributions, so it's a damn good thing Go has a company like Google to act as steward, regardless of all the useless FUD people like to pretend "may" happen because they can think it up.

There is certainly the need for network effects which large corporations often can provide more consistently, but we have seen plenty of examples within the space where individuals or smaller companies have been successful in providing these same network effects.
