Historically, companies - specifically their leadership - has tried to get the most they can out of people for the lowest cost. It has often gotten into ways that would be considered abusive today.

Are people just a thing in a financial transaction where each side tries to get the most out of the other at the least cost? If someone thinks that then it's kind of a sad view on humanity.

I have zero field experience regarding go, but it seems to me that it's made to remove friction for teams.

Lean toolchain, lean build times, lean formatting (can you imagine the amount of time wasted on IDE config, commit syntax, and formatting style debates ?) so that large groups can just go to work.

ps: I'd love to work in rust. As you said, it seems very potent at making very expressive yet very efficient code.

> The value provided by a physical map of a book is knowing how far along you are in the book

No, it provides more.

Actually your brain maps physical properties of the book to actual content, creating an overlay map over the story or the content (and our brain is really good at mentally mapping things). This is that map that is being used to know where in the book a particular piece of information is.

Reading on e-reader is more linear than reading a paper book. See: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/reading-paper-scr... https://insights.uksg.org/articles/10.1629/uksg.236/ and https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/aug/19/readers-absorb...

Besides, no e-reader today can let your riffle through pages as fast as paper book.

When you are in a novel, or in a manual, you have some kinetic and touch feedback to build memories of where's what. The book becomes an extension (à la proprioception) with much less friction than an e-read for which you have to wait for visual feedback (screen refreshing).

With paper books things are at the tip of your fingers.

E-reader have more friction.

That's a reason why I only read novels on e-reader and jot notes in a notepad for non-fiction books.

If I had the budget I'd only have physical books.

Have you gone back and read that post you linked recently?

It seems to me like the final section has a lot of bad things to say about the methodlogy of a go developer. Huge, bloated toolchains required to make progress. Code volume rather than appropriate abstraction. To me, your MS Word vs LaTeX graph sure seems like it's damning "easy" languages like Golang in favor of other languages with more powerful abstractions.

You also assert that Golang is easier to learn than other languages. I don't think you've really got a leg to stand on there. It's "easy" for folks doing service development because the arbitrary decisions made by Golang were made from the perspective of someone experienced at writing web services. If you already know C and Python a bit, Golang cherrypicks a lot of good stuff, but if you don't (or you're not writing a bunch of web services that essentially do nothing but punt to C frameworks and validate strings in request headers) then Go's going to struggle, and folks have pointed this out.

It's pretty surprising to me that you write about how Generics are the death of enterprise software when so much quite-usable software uses generics. Why do yo simply get to forget the existence of the huge body of Java work and instead assert it's bad? Android uses generics in many cases where appropriate and it's one of the better UI kids available these days.

Even the Actor methodology you're citing as part of Golang as good is actually a fairly sophisticated abstraction with lots of implications for the runtime and execution order. Why is that specific programming abstraction given a pass because of its benefits, but writing a generic linked list is going to be the death of your programming organization?

You also defend the structuring of many enterprise groups even as you suggest that they lack training, refuse to pay technical debt, and place unreasonable burdens on developers. You seem to have just accepted this and said Golang helps you be more complicit in this mode of operation that you also seem to suggest is somewhat bad. Why would we want to pander to a methodology that asks junior developers to proceed without training and places focus on process and hyper-specialized domain experts rather than clear communication, sound architecture and sustainable velocity?

I'm quite confused how you can hold both these opinions at the same time. It seems like they're contradictory.
I agree that my wording is too strong due to my memory of the latency results. As you increase the load, Go is closer to Rust/C than C# (see last benchmarks) and at a given load, C# isn’t in picture. It’s fair to say that Go/C# is similar while Java is far behind depending on the benchmarks that are important to you.

Endeavor S-1
Easier for the companies maybe but not the employees. Companies are almost always in a better position relative to employees when it comes to negotiation: they have more information, deeper pockets, and on an individual negotiation level have little need for a specific employee (especially in manufacturing jobs where the skill level is low). The employee on the other hand often has few options and if they do push for better wages can just be canned losing their healthcare and possibly pension (in the few places those still exist) because in manufacturing (and to be honest many other jobs) individuals are by design replaceable and largely interchangeable. In some areas there's only 1 or 2 employers for that type of job and moving for a better opportunity requires uprooting the lives of the rest of the family (children go to new schools and spouses have to find new jobs as well) with a lot of uncertainty about the new job.

To counteract this and get the employees a fairer share of the value they add to a company unions exist so that the power imbalance gets evened out between workers and management.

The skepticism with respect to ratings is likely forever damaged, since everyone knows bankers aren't held liable for their actions. On paper, Dodd Frank may have changed, but if bankers hand out rosy, inaccurate ratings -- we know there will be no liability. There is no reason to trust ratings. But accurate ratings are an essential part of the financial system.

> Firstly, this isn't exactly news. Hindu texts are full of examples of not just the caste system but all variety of ills and discrimination.

Except the Brahmin caste others were denied education until british occupied although that was not their primary motive. A lot of non-brahmins are unware of this fact, so this is news to them

> Secondly, this one passage is an obscure reference. Contrast this for example against the story of Eklavya[1].

Thats a different case. This point diverts the original issue. In my experience if pressed more the proponents of caste system will point to japanese order.

> Thirdly, this should be seen in the context of story-telling (ie: in the context of mythological fantasy rather than 'endorsement' of any sort)

Context in religious text is an excuse. As the public is brainwashed by far right like RSS groups(the killer of Mahatma Gandhi is a member of this group and this group supports the current ruling part BJP ) the context dilutes and the text is interpreted more directly. A very recent example in Tamilnadu(a state in india) a high priest spoke in public on the merits of caste system and told the audience if dogs have caste(breed) why should not human have it.

> Fouthly, there isn't one authoritative Ramayana, there are more like 300+[2]

In all of the versions Brahmin is the high caste and ever one else is denied education. Because according to hinduism(the vedas , rig veda in particular) the brahmins are the only people who should be given access to education for the good of the socitey. The current BJP govt is proposing to have public exams for 5th standard students(about 9 to 10 years old). The plan is to discourage students of shudras and dalits who are majorly from villages .

I will try to answer the above 3 question together because they are related.

The only reason i bother to write this long comment is because it is posted by RMS. I guess thats the motive of the op, may be op can talk about it. RMS speaking against the evils of hinduism will give more weight to clarify the misconception about the hindusim being peaceful religion.

>> They could put Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Disney+ out of business overnight.

> All of those services are also primary-content creators.

Right, so they would remain in business only by distributing exclusive content that's not available in public libraries by virtue of the fact that copies of those media can never be purchased, only streamed directly from their original creator.

Thinking about where that would lead in a world where that business model suddenly becomes extremely profitable compared to selling copies of your movie... it almost seems kinda dystopian.
The writing in-between the lines is that all car manufacturers want to run everything on a single-board computer. Perhaps the only exception is some things deemed mission critical such as the dashboard - issue being who defines what is mission critical - which will run on a separate "safer" SBC. This allows them to save quite a bit of money per a car, not just in SBCs but also potentially in wiring. Not sure it's a good thing but it is the direction things have already gone.

Cutting out other suppliers will be huge cost savings for Volkswagen if the plan works out too.
Faster or slower: the basics of Docker build caching
I think the divide here's largely along the lines of what people read. E-readers are king for light fiction or airport nonfic, for instance, but pretty awful for heavy nonfiction reading (think: textbooks), with everything else falling somewhere in between—poetry: somewhat bad on ereaders but maybe tolerable, depending on what it is; good, older literature, depends on how much you want/need footnotes or to refer to other parts of the book, and how inclined you are to annotate; books of any kind used for actual research, you probably want several open at once and a bunch more with tons of bookmarks in them that you can have open to a certain spot (you remember which one with spatial memory and maybe bookmark color) in a few seconds, which gets dicey with e-readers, even if you have more than one; and so on.

Tablets are better in some ways than e-readers but much worse in others. There's no killer does-everything-pretty-well e-reader solution yet. They rock for casual, lighter reading, though, which is probably a fairly high percentage of all book reading that happens.

They should team up and use the existing copyright laws in a way that is more suited to their mission.

Which is to say they should create their own shared digital-lending infrastructure that does not depend on publishers supplying the e-books.

That would provide a significant incentive for publishers to be reasonable enough that public libraries don't cut them out of the loop entirely using the first-sale doctrine, with books purchased at retail.
> Also, the Rust infrastructure is light-years ahead of linking in libraries in C/C++. Compile times are higher, but not horribly so.

Sorry, but you've got this backwards. From a user's perspective, cargo seems like a much nicer build system than the more-or-less manual build systems of make et al. But that's because cargo is opinionated and inflexible: it really wants to be the primary driver of the build system, and it also doesn't quite support all of the things you can do with custom linking.

As a result, when you have large projects composed of multiple libraries, your choices are either to drive rustc manually and skip cargo altogether, or to create a single macro crate for cargo to link all the rust code as a sublibrary for linking into your main project code. You end up with something like this: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/libra... to describe all of the Rust libraries you have in your project.

I very strongly want to believe this is not true. European governments can take their own decisions on issues like this, and can't isolate a single EU country for sanctions of whatever sort.

But most EU countries tend to have a very strong separation between the government and the judiciary, so even if the government supports asylum for Snowden, the judiciary might decide to honor an American extradition request. Although many EU countries don't extradite when there's a risk of death penalty, unfair trial, torture, or anything like that.

seems like a reasonable question to me.
That's a fair question. The premise I'm working from is that often people (myself included) do not associate the dollar value of their purchases with the actual time and effort required to earn that amount of money. You get a lump sum in your bank account every 2 weeks and there's no relationship between effort and reward. The number is abstract. The purchase funnel online (in apps, or in store, or anywhere really) are all designed and optimized to push you through the purchase as fast as possible (see: large shopping destination patenting the one click purchase button). Even the fact you only see the full price on the final checkout screen with all the tax, tips, shipping included works to the advantage of businesses. So, if my tool works the way I hope it does, it will stop and make you think about all the time you spent working before you complete a purchase. I suspect that once you realise how much actual time it costs you, you're less likely to make frivolous, unnecessary purchases. It's the same principle as people putting their credit card in the freezer and then thawing it to give them sufficient time to think about a purchase. Would you buy that new sweater if you knew it cost you 4 hours to earn? Lowering the rate at which we consume and ship things across the globe for our amusement is difficult to quantify in terms of environmental impact but I also hope there are secondary effects. For instance, I still recycle even though I've been told by multiple sources that it's not useful. The act itself has made me consume less because I'm aware that even recycling won't save us.

I see how the title is confusing. I will consider another title next time I post this idea somewhere. Thanks!
Unreasonable, hypocritical? The west is dealing with a country that still hangs gays out of cranes (lately it said it has no gay problem because no gays live in Iran).

My first taste of grit was on a skateboard too. I would daydream about landing cool new tricks far outside my skill level. I was young, I didn't really know how to acquire new skills, I just repeatedly made the decision to try again every time got it wrong. Eventually I looked back and realized I had surpassed those old daydreams.

I consider myself really lucky to stumble across this at such a young age, the discovery that discipline pays off. I used it when I learned to play music and taught myself programming. The only tasks that excite me in my current phase of life are long term grit-required projects, like language learning, distance running, etc.
