I've worked in that environment before. It doesn't help when upper management has no software or hardware background whatsoever (e.g. MBA or "sales" or whatever) and in that case the only way they see things is in terms of dollars.

One time I was working on a new project and I wanted to put an SD card on the board so that we could have a log. I was asked how much the log was "worth" so that they could justify the cost of the extra hardware.
I'm doubtful that a liability for "bad faith ratings" is enough to get the job done.

Remember Arthur Anderson. They're gone, but the US Supreme Court concluded that they weren't guilty! They make O J Simpson look like the picture of innocence, and yet somehow the Supreme Court felt the need to grant certiorari and then decide actually people who do crimes aren't necessarily guilty of those crimes if they're rich old white men...
" Chevy Small Block v8 is a little newer starting mid 1950's"

...and not used since 2003. Honestly, it's probably best to view an engine family like this as a form factor, not a design. It isn't like there were any 1955 parts in a 2000 engine, but the interconnects are (mostly) the same. Generally, any 90 degree V8 with a cam in the block is going to be the 'same', designers have pretty much standardized on just a few layouts.

An invariant SBC is like saying disk drives haven't evolved if they use the same mounting points and cabling/logic standards.

> Bluetooth 5.0 supports 2 devices being output at once.

Ok that's good. But do devices actually support it?

E.g. Bluetooth historically had flaky software support on Android, and sadly I can't even imagine that they'd get anything in that 5.0 spec correct that's outside the main usecase of single person listens to audio.

> and ask if you know a lot of people who use 2 headphones on a single phone

In e.g. the subway I often see people listening in pairs using a single headset. I think it's not a really strange feature to ask for.
throwaway, because well see below.

y, I find extremely troubling that:

Groups can so easily attack and label other groups as extreme when they hold similar views toward the other end of the spectrum.

Accuse others of being non-accepting of their ideas while at the same time not being accepting of the other groups ideas and beliefs. And willing to destroy the other sides careers and businesses over it.

People should always be able to have their own beliefs and speak out and question things without fear of persecution.

Being accepting and open to ideas and discussion is the way we should debate and express our ideas/opinions.

If you are having to spread and enforce your ideas through fear you are probably on the wrong side.
> Go is a better Java / C#, while Rust is not.

Mm, not really. Go is a less sophisticated Java / C#, in the same way that a bicycle is a less sophisticated motorcycle. There's situations to use both, and there's nothing with either, but sometimes you want or need to travel hundreds of kilometers in a day and a bicycle isn't going to cut that for most people.

On top of that, there's also this funny thing aspect: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Murray_Gell-Mann#Quotes_about_...

> Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect works as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story-and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read with renewed interest as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about far-off Palestine than it was about the story you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

> I don’t see it being so negative that it comes from oil.

I don't believe that's the actual problem. If it was Norway investing its oil money, this wouldn't be an issue. It's oil money from a state that is very much not aligned with the values SV companies claim.
That’s right, and this is confirmed by many benchmarks I’ve seen. I agree with pretty much everything in this article except the repeated claim that “Go is fast”.

Of course “fast” is relative, but I would reserve it for languages that are nearly as fast as competitors in their segment. There are too many languages very similar to Go’s ergonomics that are much faster for us to meaningfully call Go “fast”.

That said, I don’t really think that’s a problem. I think people who use Go are often just happy it’s faster than Python, and that’s okay.

My personal dislike of Go comes simply from their unapologetic[1] embrace of default nullable pointers (the “billion dollar mistake”[2]): There is very strong theoretical (and practical) ground supporting the approach of Rust/Zig/Swift/etc’s (to use algebraic data types instead) as objectively better (yielding inherently more reliable results with virtually no ergonomic compromise[3]).

In other words, in the 21st century, we know how to design statically typed languages that guarantee the impossibility of null dereference exceptions (not counting bugs in external libraries from other languages). And we can do this without any runtime performance or code ergonomics compromise!

Therefore there are no good excuses anymore for any statically typed language in the 21st century to not provide this extremely beneficial guarantee.

[1] There are no plans to fix this, ever: I’ve seen entire articles written by members of the Go team not just
defending “all pointers are nillable”, but encouraging this as an idiomatic Go style of coding.

[2] https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Null-References-The-Bill...

[3] The ergonomic difficulties of Rust come from the borrow checker, not from their use of algebraic data types to replace nullable pointers.
I always thought rust was for system level stuff, like writing a database engine and go was for more backend server jobs, like distributed processing,etc.
I may revisit Apple devices once they're done with their headphone jack fiasco. I like their recent privacy focus.

I had used them in the past and even tried to take them into their third and fourth years, but they felt sluggish and had more and more app crashes as I fell behind the adoption curve. At their price point I'm absolutely expecting a 4+ year lifespan. I think Apple has a different vision though and is aiming a little more upmarket than where I am.

I admire Greenwald. I certainly think the world would be a much better place with more journalists like him.

That said, Greenwald is also a perfect example of why raxxorrax is correct about most journalists not covering issues like the ones you guys have brought up. State level baddies out to stop you is a very serious proposition. They target your friends, your family, your property. Nothing is off limits to these people, they'd probably off your grandmother if they thought it would confer them advantage.

I respect what the guy does, but raxxorrax is right, that stuff comes at a high cost. It's dangerous in the extreme, not just for you, but potentially for your 7 year old niece too. I can understand why reporters choose to cover other issues instead.

It's that the veteran workers got their pay hikes during earlier collective bargaining agreements. Recently, things like the crash in 2008 have caused newer workers to have different wage growth. They want to bring those wages closer to where they would have been if it had not been for the financial issues caused by the banking crisis and the renegotiated contracts.

A decade or so ago, GM was looking to control costs, in particular the benefits, things like the crazy generous health insurance.

The UAW eventually agreed to create two classes of workers - the more senior union people would have their pay and benefits kept intact (mostly), and then it would be the new hires that would see lower wages and reduced benefits.

What they are arguing for now is to bring the new workers up to the level of the senior workers.
Glad that you had a better experience than what I got. The statement you quote gains full meaning with the sentence that follows about how it's not necessarily a matter of how fast the language is intrinsically as it is about what people end up writing in practice in the midst of "real life" development.

In my experience C# is a great language by nature, but riddled with foot guns, bloated libraries that love doing runtime reflection and other organizational problems that typically surround the development process.
While I don’t think it should be the only consideration when deciding on a language to use, I think there is something to the idea that you should use a language that makes you happy. I know a lot of people that use Go that really like using it.

For the record, I like Go. I also like Rust. But I really see them as being aimed at different markets. Go is a better Python/Java. Rust is a better C/C++. The interesting thing about Go is Rob Pike envisioned it as a systems programming language but any language with GC is a complete nonstarter as a systems programming language.

So as for the author's pretext (writing some tool in Go), personally my view is "why not?" not "why not Rust?". If someone had written that same tool in Rust I wouldn't be saying "why not Go?". Whatever floats your boat.

But here is the one part where I disagree with the author:

> Go is unapologetically simple

It is not as simple as it seems, just like every GC language out there. I find Go advocates in particular seem to dismissive of any GC complexities or downsides. Maybe because many of them just don't have the background in dealing with this from years of Java.

I worked on a team at Google that wrote and maintained a project using Go. Note that I never wrote anything for this project so my experience was second hand but close second hand.

One thing I remember was the Go binary blowing up on memory limits (10GB+) in production. Some debugging found there to be millions of Go channels (IIRC) that needed to be cleaned up. For whatever reason the GC didn't clean them up, possibly because of a non-obvious dangling reference, possibly not.

Anything can have bugs obviously. It's just a myth that GC is a silver bullet is my point.

There was a guy who worked on the Go team (David Crawshaw) who'd stop by every now and again. Occasionally I'd get into debates with him about Go and GC. It's from these that I established my general observations of Go pundits:

1. Full GC pauses and GC in general are totally not a problem in Go.

2. If they were, they're totally going to be fixed in Go 1.N+1 where N = the current version of Go.

(At the time, the argument David made was that Go's STW GC pauses were sub-millisecond so totally not a problem).
I've moved from Java to Go and I appreciate it very much. It's very practical for day-to-day development. The 2 killer features for me are:

1. the built-in tooling (cross-platform building, profiling, formatting, test coverage, etc)

2. the standard library. I've written services that have convoluted TLS certificate handling, encryption and REST calls and never had to look elsewhere.

The language itself is good, though 2 gripes for me:

1. x.Y. At first glance, it isn't obvious whether this is function Y in package x, or method Y on object x. Package::function would be better IMHO.

2. The ':=' assignment with inference operator has sometimes led to unintended variable shadowing.

edit: another one comes to mind. The usual ... generics, pretty pls?

BTW, the author claims Go is faster than Java. Is this true, because it didn't used to be?
Not disagreeing with the sentiment, but I dislike the word "simple" used to describe languages, because it has two meanings: simple = "consists of few parts" and simple = "easy to use", and these are not the same.

Certain things in Go are not easy (not simple), because Go has few language features (is simple).

Go has definitely a lower barrier to entry and is very productive for certain size and complexity of a project. However, as you start pushing beyond "scale" Go is designed for, Go becomes less simple to use. To appreciate things like generics, non-nullable types, no shared mutable state, you have to be working on a problem that requires these things, and only then these extra features pay off and make development and maintenance easier.

I’m on year 3 I think of having an Apple Watch. It’s a series 1 or 2. It’s at 30% right now after 13 hours. With almost no usage of the watch. And 8 hours of sleeping (with Watch on) and/or DND on. If I actively used it, I’m guessing it would be almost dead right now.
I don't believe any of those qualities need be eschewed. Personal just means thinking of god as a person, benevolent meaning that they generally have good intent, and caring meaning they actually give a damn about our wellbeing.

All of these things can be true and yet still produce the conditions we observe. For instance, god could be flawed or not have complete control over their creation, or the purpose for their creation necessitates that a certain amount of suffering occur. Consider that parents could prevent their children, whom they love, from being injured or emotionally harmed, and yet they do not for a wide variety of reasons. In fact, they inflict a certain amount of suffering on their own child under the belief that it is necessary to reduce suffering in the future.
I think this paints the wrong picture.

>On October 29, 2010, a young Asian man boarded an Air Canada flight in Hong Kong bound for Vancouver wearing a sophisticated facial prosthetic that effectively disguised him as an elderly man. It sounded alarms among counterterrorism authorities, including then Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano, who said the use of such a disguise raised serious questions about whether it could be used as a tactic to smuggle terrorists into the United States.

But an open border where terrorists can walk across seems to be okay.

I started to use Photopea for making thumbnails for my videos and blog posts a few months ago but I wish it were more stable.

Sometimes it has network connectivity issues that prevents the app from working -- even if you download the "offline" app.

Like 2 days ago I couldn't add text to an image because the font list couldn't be loaded over the network due to the site having connectivity issues (and it doesn't work when offline). I had to resort to using gimp otherwise it would have delayed a video from being published.

Of all of the online or offline non-Flash image editors that try to replace Photoshop this one is my favorite. I hope it continues to get more developed. It lacks a lot of things but it's good enough for whipping together basic multi-layer layouts. Little things like being able to auto-center things vertically and horizontally by just dragging things around saves so much time. Also supporting Photoshop style layers for doing outlines and shadows speed things up.
It's not asking me actively, but it's just crazy that I'm offered to install a random blog as an app.
Agreed on this, played around dragging things around for a couple minutes and still couldn't get it to do anything.

Maybe pre-configure some default settings so it works immediately upon load. Or perhaps a short video showing its use.

Sounds like you could use a refresher on all the free and worthwhile services provided by modern libraries.

Where I'm at in NJ, the local libraries offer books, e-books, cds, dvds, career services, access to legal assistance, community meeting spaces, crafting programs, and will even lend you tickets to several great museums. And that's just the start.

Libraries are dope.
Between the need for expensive training and diagnostic equipment, and the ever-widening view of things that are .gov mandated and covered under smog or safety laws including spare parts sourcing, we are largely there.

I'll counter. In a world of electric cars (which I'm in favor of), how long until the politically well-connected emissions testing industry becomes repurposed into mandatory safety inspections at the same or higher price?
Which is why they are added when new and expensive - it flatters the real inflation measures and saves governments money longer term.

> Go is faster than Java / C#, more memory-efficient than Java / C#, and definitely has better concurrency than Java / C#

C# is a great language and has a ton of modern features. It's also quite a bit faster than the author is giving it credit for. In fact there was a network stack written in it that was posted here last week that had it beating Go by an order of magnitude.

I don't really agree with the statement that 'Rust is a better C++' either. It very much can take the place of C in many applications also.
> BTW, the author claims Go is faster than Java. Is this true, because it didn't used to be?

I think for certain use cases C# or Java will be faster. THere was a post here the other day about a network driver written in C, Rust, C#, Go, Java and a few others and The C# one was faster then Go. Can't remember if Java was faster or not.
