Bridges are just to enable people to cross a gap. But, can we separate what something is from where and how it's being setup to be used and who controls that for what purposes? Technology provides a solution. But, what are the problems and intended uses.

If we don't look at the bigger picture we can't look at the wider impacts, the ethics, or any of that. This is something I learned in engineering ethics. It was a required class at my university for engineers for a reason.

Multiple return values are a lot less general and harder to use than tuple values; you can't store them in maps or pass them over channels or compose functions (while f(g()) works, f(g(), h()) is not allowed).
Love the spelling joke in there.
Tipping is a barbarous custom. Do not ever tip for counter service, in order to discourage its spread.
It's because iframes suck and don't allow middle-clicks afaik. The Google Doodle for today is embedded as an iframe instead of an anchor tag.

It seems like you're setting up a false dichotomy. Researchers working at a company are often thinking about solving company problems, even if their particular solution doesn't have management support yet. Getting official approval often involves advocates selling their particular solution to management.

In particular, language designers typically have concrete problems in mind, even if they're inventing a general-purpose language. It's enough to say that Go's designers expected to use their new language at Google, so it needed to work well in Google's environment and solve some problems that weren't currently being solved well in that environment. If it didn't work at Google, then they wouldn't have succeeded at their original goal.

While it's not the most popular language at Google, Go is officially supported for server-side projects (communicating via RPC with many other internal servers), and has been for some time. That's a high bar that few languages meet, and about as official as it gets. If it didn't succeed internally then the Go team probably wouldn't have had consistent management support and stable funding over many years.

The other languages you mention (Dart and JavaScript) are considered client-side only within Google so they mostly don't compete with Go. For example, Node is supported for developer tools and external users, not because Google runs its own servers using Node. (Or at least that was true when I left.)
So in the future hacker TVs will be covered with tin foil on the back?
> 3) The damage any attack would do to that sense of security is high enough to justify extreme expenditures to minimize even low-risk scenarios

Also every politician fears being the person who cancelled that program/reduced that sentence/restrained the police because there's a huge bias towards "doing something" even if it's the wrong thing.

That sounds cool. An obvious question is, why not a lisp? But generally do you find f# works well on dotnet mixed with c#?
> Building an api with api-gateway + lambda (...) is guaranteed to be more cost-effective for unpredicted load.

Depends on the use case. I run a cron monitoring service on a similar nginx/uwsgi/django/postgres stack [1]. My service needs to handle lots of really small and simple HTTP requests, and almost every request needs to do a (small and quick) database write. I did napkin math – at the current usage levels, Lambda per-request fees alone would use up significant chunk of my current hosting budget.

You're asking us to play fortune teller, but I suspect you're trying to imply that Netflix hasn't done anything of sufficient quality to warrant rewatching?

I'd say they've made some stuff that has a shot of being rewatched: Master of None, Love, Russian Doll, and I'm sure more. And then there's their additions to already popular things like their installments of Wet Hot American Summer, Dark Crystal, Black Mirror etc.

Netflix is making some decent content. Lots of not so great stuff, but some good in there too. Just like TV.
I'm on a second-hand Oneplus One, and I use it for a TOTP client and Firefox. The camera sucks. It's much worse than the Epson digital camera I bought 18 years ago.

That said, it suits my uses absurdly well. I have no reason to replace it.
I don't know if it's been used. But not only would you not make money from your most motivated players, you'd be pushing away players who have shown some interest and that you want to encourage.
> Part of the problem that I realized after hearing the author promotin this book in a podcast is that many people not only want to solve problems but also put their own spin/branding on it, even if it’s not actually much different from existing solutions.

Yes, but they also have to do it in order to have a branding. You cannot "non-brand." Take for example Microsoft. Thy wrote a version of CP/M and called it PC-DOS. So what? Would it have been better to call it MS-CP/M?
It takes a little while to wrap your head around it -- I think it took me a solid 3 months before it clicked. Once it clicks though, the lifetime stuff is completely automatic. You really don't think about it. I think because Rust's syntax is so similar to what you might see in a C derived language it adds to the cognitive burden of learning lifetimes the first time around, but IMO, Rust should be the first thing people learn.

It that true? Apple does support 2FA for logging into your Apple ID which AFAIK is the only way to access synced keychain data.

Their approach is somewhat unique though. Once you log into any Apple device with a secure enclave (including all current macbooks, iphones, and ipads) that device becomes a second factor for authenticating future logins (which is prompted via an OS-level popup instead of a separate app or hardware dongle). So your computer itself can be the second factor which means you don't ever notice the 2FA enforcement, unlike most other systems that use a TOTP code or dongle.
I don't see any difference between an internal DAC with a 3.5mm jack vs an external DAC with with 3.5mm jack.

Honestly this article is pretty weak and relies entirely on speculation of what Apple might do in the future.
I wonder what it would look like for my TV to be connected and sending my viewing habits back to the manufacturer without a method for me to turn it off.

If you have cable, satellite, or streaming this already happens. The only way to watch TV without being watched is to use an antenna or local storage.
I'm not sure either, tbh. Perhaps 'marketplace' or 'platform'.
I think it depends a lot on their age and maturity.
Try handwritten notes. I find it much faster for structuring notes in contrast to any computer program. Instead, write down your notes and things you remember afterwards as a word document.

Also, if there is too much to write down, several people should do notes and join their notes later in some collaborative meeting report. That's one way to ensure nothing gets lost after the meeting. For developer meetings, we frequently rised new issues in our bug tracker which were linked directly from the reports which itself were tickets or wiki pages.
I used to get the flagship phones just simply because I could. My parents were still footing the bill so it was never a problem. Turns out I don't really use that many resources on my phone. I browse reddit, take the occasional pic, watch youtube, and maybe play low resource games maybe once a week. My phone is 95% an internet machine. It also turns out flagship phones are expensive as hell when you are buying it yourself. I bought myself a $250 moto g7 power. My Nexus 6p broke at an inopportune time and a flagship wasn't going to fit my budget. It doesn't play 1080p video but the different is almost negligible on a small screen. The camera is decent and internet resources load just as quick as anything else. The massive battery is a really nice feature and will definitely be something I will put on my need list for when I'm looking for my next phone.

I said "weight" not "mass". And yes, I consistently gained weight all day (water + food intake), and did not return to morning weight (minus actual fat used up, about .5 lbs a day on average) until after sleeping.

I think the amount of weight lost through exhaling is minimal compared to urinating and defecation. And defecation is almost none at all. (my tests showed that bowel movements have very little affect on weight)

Only certain big box retailers do that, like Best Buy, whose business model have them leasing floor space in their physical locations, which has tangible scarcity.

Amazon is not leasing retail floor space, so to GP's point, any comparisons between Amazon's open platform and traditional physical retail spaces are moot.
Last paragraph, the discoverer is quoted:

>> This is evidence of how digital technology and the opening up of libraries [could] transform our knowledge of this period.

Indeed! Just bringing many more eyes (and perhaps AIs) to the works can vastly accelerate the growth of knowledge, and they're already doing further research based on this discovery.

Who knows how many more centuries this knowledge might have languished unrecognized, just sitting in the stacks? And how much more like it is still awaiting?
Except that lots of new code also get written in those languages.

Google's major Go projects appear to be gVisor, Android GPGPU debugger, Fucshia's TCP/IP stack and volume management tools and the download server as it was done by the Go team.

I used a G4 Play for almost 3 years but got uncomfortable about the lack of further system updates. I am happy with a G7 Play now, which seems to have better radio and GPS performance and similar battery life. Prior to the G4 Play, I used pricier mid-range phones in the Nexus price bracket.

I can see myself continuing with the Moto G Play series, if they don't mess them up. However, I won't replace them annually. I expect I'll similarly drag it out and skip a couple generations until lack of updates make me uncomfortable again, unless I drop it/break it first...
Good point! For people who have tons of experience with serverless, serverless is probably a better choice than running servers for some use cases.

As a small business owner, there are two types of cost that I need to consider:

Time: the time I use to do A is the time I can't use to do B. Unfortunately I haven't used serverless so far in my professional career -- in this sense, I'm not full-stack enough :) It takes time for me to learn it, understand it, operate it, and experience various outage scenarios to gain the true learnings. It's more costly for me (probably not for others) to use serverless than the things that I already understand. I'd rather spend more time on other non-engineering things nowadays -- believe it or not, I spend 1/3 of my working hours replying emails :)

Money: the money I spend on A is the money I can't spend on B. I decided not to use api-gateway + lambda & hosted db servers, primarily because of $$$. I actually did the pricing calculation a few times last year. In addition, api-gateway + lambda also require some time for me to learn, which I should use to talk to users, marketing, building new product feature, thinking (yep, thinking also uses some time budget :)...

Not distancing herself from the action/decision that favors her husband and the company he's involved with is the very definition of a conflict of interest.

Her inner intention is less important because it is hard to provide clear evidence for or against it (absent some sort of recorded evidence). It creates a situation of uncertainty and to avoid this you are usually required to disclose any detail that could cause even the appearance of a conflict of interest (you are married to the person who benefits from your action), and remove yourself from the decision making position.

So for example using public money to buy the very best available product on the market from your spouse's company is still a conflict of interest. You are expected to withdraw and let an impartial person take over. If the product is good then the evaluation will have the same result but there will be no suspicion that you tried to influence the result in your interest.
Go has generics (e.g. in its data structures). They just aren’t usable by the programmer. The same could have been done for optionals.
non-full-time employees. Or being in a state with a Right To Work law.

Which is actually worse, because non-union employees are required to be ~represented by the union without paying for that representation~ treated as though they are represented by the union when in fact they are not. So the employee reaps the reward of the union without contributing.

dammit I want to strikeout something and I can't find the correct markup for HN. I know I've done it before.
A more concrete analogy would be if you donated to an egg or sperm bank, and found out later that the hospital had destroyed samples after checking the donors linkedin profiles for employment gaps.

If you would really like to turn my innocent quip into an something more inflamatory, I'd say a lack of informed consent by users about the use of their data, obtained by surveillance, used to impose opportunity costs on their reproductive prospects, structured around the commercial and political agenda of a company who makes addictive products - would be a pretty awful thing to countenance indeed.

I'm sure the lawyers and bioethicists have got it all sorted out.

Matching people based on their survieled unintentional preferences instead of their stated intentional ones seems helpful, except I'd propose that the combination of opacity and power difference ethically deprives the subjects of their intent.

They may have volunteered for the opportunity, but they have not volunteered to be chosen for. The selection bias inherent in secret data is the expression of the intent of the administrator, not the intent of the subjects.

Taking this beyond a quip wades much deeper into thorny ethical issues than is really useful on HN, but I hope this has emphasized the value of letting sleeping dogs lie.
The thing that confuses me about tipping at the counter is that you're supposed to do it before any service has been provided. I hardly ever tip at the counter, but will instead leave cash tips at the table when I'm done.
What's your recommendation? I'm about to look at upgrading from my Pixel 1 and the 3a has been a frontrunner for me so far. I'm waiting to see what the rumored 4 & 4a bring to the table before I jump on anything.

The fuss is part of the product. People overestimate health insurance and health costs generally and assign that high value to the health insurance provided by the employer. If that was suddenly converted to a simple wage without benefits firms would likely end up paying more after it all shakes out.

Think of all the times you have heard "That job only pays $x an hour" and the reply "Yeah but the benefits".
Is there an open source version of the language? ...bc I'm not touching a programming language with a ten foot pole if it hasn't got at least two implementations, and at least one open source :|

Sure, keep the IDEs and deployless infrastructure and all proprietary, but a core programming language in 2019 can only be open-source. Heck, even Microsoft gets it now.
> "But are you suggesting the laws that penalise stealing classified information are unfair and should be abolished (like slavery laws in the past)? I think these laws must exist."

Where did OP suggest that? Jury nullification is specifically a case by case judgement, not a broad statement.
Im not sure if this is sarcasm, honestly. C++ is one of the hardest languages to use, full of edge cases, it blows my mind every time I pick it up.

> You just don't know the language.

Nobody knows the language haha. If anyone tells you they know C++, they're absolutely wrong. This has been, IME, the easiest way to know if a candidate is over-stating their resume -- if they say they "know" C++.
I still feel like his New York magazine piece that was condemned by many as too scary marks a turning point in the public discourse around climate change.
It’s not just climate scientists. I’ve been having a tough time with it myself. I know I’m not alone.
If you want to eradicate tipping, do it at the legislative level. Refusing to tip doesn't hurt restaurant owners; it only hurts the people who depend on tips because restaurant owners can get away with not paying them a humane wage.
> Kaiser Permanente for health insurance.

Super important part. Any details about how much it costs for single person company? :-)
Sorry but this list is trash. Every smartphone on that list was overpriced and runs some horrid vendor customized version of Android that's sure to become obsolete because the vendors will stop updating it with a year or two. the one that was around $200 (Motorola) had specs way worse than the phone I'm using (Nokia 2.2) to type this message, which is $70 cheaper than the Motorola and has a headphone jack btw.
You could have invented fractional cascading
In my opinion, it's pretty safe to assume that sellers misrepresenting themselves as the manufacturer won't last long on any platform. Manufacturers are all pretty aware of Amazon at this point.
> I like their recent privacy focus.

“Recent”? Apple has been focused on privacy for quite awhile , they just didn’t make a big deal about it. Apple has had my personal information including my credit card on file for almost 29 years and I have never received marketing emails from 3rd parties nor has Apple suffered a hacker security breach.
> The fact that its leadership consists entirely of charlatans is self-evident.

Charlatans maybe but the real problem is that they are old men with ballpoint pens who proudly claim that they have "petrol in their blood".

The real tragedy is that most German automotive managers have no clue about the complexity of modern software and I'd bet most of them would answer the question: "What is more complex, the mechanics or the the software?" with "Mechanics, of course!"

Maybe then someone smart would come up with a device that would route all 5G traffic through and broadcast to other devices, masking the source and even proxied through a remote server /s
I can't think of any other programming language discussed on HN besides Rust where hordes of people will doggedly praise it and nitpick any criticism of it to death. Maybe Haskell, although even that doesn't compare.

Every mention of Rust on HN feels like a public relations exercise where one is force fed an opinion until they learn to like it.

The Go community's actually quite relaxed, all things considered, which makes them look more self-confident and less desperate.
I think this is a bad idea
The conflict of interest itself would have a far less impact on the regular person than the weakening of privacy laws. In this case I think the issues amplify each other.
Yeah, I don't get the headphone jack obsession either. Bluetooth has been perfect for me and frees me from the cord. I can't stand tangled up cords that tickle my neck as I'm trying to listen to music.
I feel the same way about video games. When I do buy them, I try to buy a physical copy that I can sell/lend/whatever. Digital copies are pretty much useless once you're done playing them. Also kinda ridiculous that digital copies cost the same as physical, or often times cost more when the physical copies go on sale.
> Is the missing data just not appearing better than a 'oops, something went wrong' error or similar in response to a 500 caused by an NPE?

No, but with checked unions like optionals, "not appearing" is a behavior that you explicitly chose to implement. Checked optionals force feed every opportunity to address and amend the error to the programmer. Null pointer exceptions bubble that far up either because the programmers didn't consider all the failure modes caused by implicitly nullable types or because they truly don't care. With checked exceptions, you have limited this to just the "truly doesn't care" category because the programmer is forced to consider every failure mode at every point in the call chain: "not appearing" in that case doesn't happen by mistake but by explicit choice.
> But, some of these VC-backed businesses also go on to be wildly successful and valuable to society (in a way that would have been impossible without this growth first mentality).

Why would it be impossible? It would be equally possible, only wealth would not be as concentrated.
I come from a network background where it is common to separate data plane (speed) from control plane (complexity). I think Rust and Go can fill one of these niches each.

Because I wanted speed, Rust became my choice. But that zero cost abstraction, does not extend to the programmer. The cost is in the productivity. Although productivity in Rust is likely better than most older languages, C in particular.

I also like Starlark, very weak language in terms of features. That is its strength imho.

For the sake of context. Rust is my eleventh language, but I haven’t written much software, and most of it was ten years ago.
> With a digital book (or any other digital good) I lose all of that.

AFAIK, first-sale doctrine is accepted in both US and EU. There are ECJ judicates confirming legality of reselling used software. So i am pretty sure i can sell, trade or donate my e-books.
Most union members have fixed monthly expenses and limited cash reserves. A promise of profit sharing at some point in the future doesn't help when the rent is due tomorrow.
It is definitely not a monopoly...I for one goes to Wallmart.com frequently depending on price.

Disclaimer: ex-Amazon employee.
Lots of stuff can stick a web form in front of Elastic/Postgres or similar. Certainly nothing wrong with that.

Also doesn't mean that something quite so simple will work in every case. Not everyone is wasting their employer's money to build their resume.
If you don't want someone else to do something that costs you money, you're going to have a bad time if you don't prevent them from doing it.
