A) It’s not unrealistic. Just recently France have offered 20 million for assistance for the rainforest. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, the US made payments to Russia when it was unstable to help it secure its nuclear inventory

B) I’m not sure that offering aid is “aggressive” vs economic sanctions or IMF loans

I tell folks that working in Go is like coming full-circle to C again. It is the easiness of Go, the general presentation of good ole shoot-yourself-in-the-foot pointers, and even the presence of interface{} as an analog of void*, that causes the link in my mind.

As many of you know, the Go community has been having a knock-down drag-out argument over whether/how generics should be added to the language. I joked a bit about this, but I am serious in my contention that much of the value proposition I see of Go over Java would be wiped away if a feature that complex gets bolted onto it.
I assume it's a pun about pandas.
>the "marshmallow test" which has been found to be BS.

Has it? Is the same true of all the other studies of willpower and ego depletion? The studies of judges with low blood sugar, undergrads being tempted with cookies before doing math problems, all of it? I thought it was pretty settled science. What's the critique of that area of research?
Memory safety?

C++ has lots of bells and whistles, some of which Rust doesn't have (classes, to name one), but those aren't necessarily more important bells and whistles.

Also, the Rust infrastructure is light-years ahead of linking in libraries in C/C++. Compile times are higher, but not horribly so.

> I learned that an industrial grade blast furnace was, ballpark, $100 billion.

That seems like a very large number for the construction of any industrial installation. Just poking around the net the numbers I found were $220/ton of pig iron produced, and another source that claimed a $2.5b cost in 1980 and $5b today. If the $220/ton figure is accurate a $100b blast furnace would be producing 455m tons of pig iron a year. According to wikipedia a modern furnace can produce about 5-6m tons per year.

I certainly think a UX is possible to make it work. I just don't think it is easy. You need a reporting tool that can potentially manage N repositories with M branches. You need to solve for issues that involve N sub J repositories ("epics"), and you need to solve for issues involved in M sub K branch states (in progress in A, complete in B, complete with extra bug fixes in C, X comments/documentation/attachments scattered across branches A, B, C, D, E, F).

There are ways to solve those problems, but yes a good UX team needs to be brought to those problems, and I think that is a big issue. There's lots of little distributed bug trackers that stop at CLI, but few to none that have even attempted a UI, and I've yet to see even a proposal of a full workflow system with non-technical "stakeholders" in mind.

I hate bad analogies that have us arguing more about how well the analogy fits than simply debating the underlying question. When we talk about concurrency or the ability to make simple yet high-performing server apps, it's ridiculous to say Go is a bicycle compared to the motorcycle that is Java / C#.

User-space network driver? The benchmarks group Go closer to Rust with Java / C# way behind:

This would be a very complex comparison and simple analogies do us a disservice. I think the author's blanket statement that Go is faster than Java / C# also seems too broad.
Did you mean "... especially with how effectively CIA and ISI worked in Afghanistan"?

We were already going in that direction, but perhaps EVs will push us over the edge. Tesla has certainly made it damn near impossible to work on their cars.

What's funny is with Android 10 you get these prompts now too (can't say how comparative the two features are though). My biggest offender is Google's apps requesting location access in the background; Hangouts, Messenger, Phone, etc. all asking for access when I'm not using the app. Naturally I block them, but since they're all Google products I wonder how much that even matters.

I'm curious your reasoning to switch to Apple who is not known to be Pro-consumer. Aren't you afraid they are using your data without you Knowing?

It's not like Apple would voluntarily reveal that.

For example, they claim top security, but that is ambiguous. Meaning you really can't trust their marketing at all.

USA has plenty of whistleblower examples anyway. We've tortured Chelsea Manning for years. Others who have been punished, to varying degrees, include Bill Binney, Reality Winner, and John Kiriakou. Presumably there are others of whom we're not aware. These people have done really small things to rouse the ire of the TLAs. How could they punish Snowden in a proportional fashion, anyway?
You can solve any problem in a language without generics, such as Go, C, Fortran-IV, or any other Turing-complete language, including the Turing machine "assembly".

The difference is in speed of producing such code, amount of bugs introduced, ability to understand, modify, and evolve the code, etc.
The article does say Android will be used, but it doesn't say it will be used for anything other than infotainment.

It isn't totally clear, but there is one fairly strong hint that there will be separation. They quote Singer (the person in charge) as saying, "What we are now doing with these so-called enabling functions is taking them out of customer functions, putting it in a middleware software layer." In context, it seems to be contrasting that against designs where the car's basic functions were too entwined with infotainment, so "taking out" seems to suggest separation.
Maybe not literally, but don't regulations stipulate how many liquid assets a lender must have on hand? Even if the ratio isn't 1:1, it's bounded, unlike an unbounded MBS market.

IANA finance expert, but I suppose you could bound the MBS market with some kind of maximum-degrees-removed-from-real-assets metric, and regulate based off of that. But that, to me, would seem unwise since that metric would likely be fairly abstract and therefore dis-preferred as a basis of regulation.
Comes close to an important point, and then misses it completely. The problem is not that Saudi money would get them influence at new U.S. tech companies. The problem is that Saudi money is getting pushed into "tech" companies that have unsustainable business models, and this is sucking all the oxygen (e.g. available developers) from other projects that could accomplish more.

Imagine two startup ideas. One, could be profitable, and eventually turn into a $100million company that does something useful. The other, will never be profitable, but makes promises of being worth $40billion. Which one gets the (inexperienced VC) money? The second. Which one would be a long-term bonus for the U.S. economy? The first.

That is the problem; too much money from Softbank (much of that from S.A.) pushes all the developer and other resources into goofy ideas that will end up going bust, instead of more rational ideas that could be long-term useful.
I've been using something very similar, though I only have a local keyfile that I independently put on my synced machines rather than the yubikey thing. How do you like the yubikey process? Not too much of a pain?
Also handy if you break the cable as can use that port with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector and back working - cutt off the offending broken cable that is a nightmare to fix as are most headphone cables, bit like soldering two hairs together with solder that melts at the same temp as the wire as it is sooo small - though I'm not great at soldering.

I won't accuse them of doing it on purpose when many other people have made essentially the same claim. "Turing complete" is a somewhat vague term that is tricky to evaluate in certain contexts.

Typically, licensing fees are negotiated for a few seasons at a time. It's a flat rate per season, so whatever production costs are incurred, they're paid for by the studio — not Netflix. If something goes over budget, Netflix has already paid to use it. Likewise, if a show is immensely successful (like, say Orange Is the New Black), Netflix doesn't have to worry about paying more for that, either.

So by keeping viewership numbers private, Netflix actually has an edge in licensing negotiations between studios. Because if a studio doesn't know how popular a series is, it's harder to push for more money.

Physical books last at least ~50 years. That is longer than any physical computer lasts and longer than any of the companies that offer cloud services (IBM doesn't offer e-Books yet) have existed. There is a good chance that some of them will go bankrupt over this time.
I don't know, I think that's only partially the problem. But just so we're clear, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying there are other factors. Mostly, I think it's the way distributors and retailers form their contract deals, which spills to the farmers. I've never done food, but I know some of the deals work similarly to what I experienced in security. Camera manufacturers for example, give you a discounted price when you buy a certain amount every year. The more you sell, the better your discount. Typically 3 tiers, some did 4. This is both good and bad. It protects the loyal and well experienced integrators from the fly by night folks from making quick turn and burn dollars. Fly by night folks get lower margins compared to the bigger guys. But at the same time, it makes it a serious pain in the ass to get a foot in the door when starting out. On top of that, if you're a middle of the field player, you don't take too much risk in a new or alternative brand because it'll hurt your yearly number, thus hurt your discount, thus hurt your margins, thus hurt your overall profit. I assume big box grocery stores have a similar instance with distributors, with nuances of course.

Part 2. There are farmer markets (real ones, not the hipster kind) with local farmers and it's a good 20%-50% cheaper. Plus, those farmers make a better margin. Problem, lower volume in comparison. Typically (near me) these are part of the weekly flea markets or literally a dude in his pickup truck on the side of the road. These places don't have a good... PR look. But I'm also in Florida and I grew up white trash. Nearly everything grows here and I'm fine if things aren't pristine/well-marketed.

I think over marketing, bad lock in deals and piss poor public perception of real food production are the main problems. Real strawberries look like Frankenstein's face. And they're fucking delicious.
Rust is more than just memory safety. For example, it also enables safe concurrency, which sounds like something you would want in a renderer.
Apples and oranges. OpenJDK does have low-pause collectors in the 1ms range which also perform compacting. Go on the other hand buys its sub-millisecond pause times at the expense of fragmented heap and lower memory locality (an advantage the JVM then immediately wastes through pointer chasing...)
It's interesting to note that browser extensions continue to be the primary point of vulnerability for password management solutions. IIRC, it's been quite a long time since vaults themselves were breached.

It is an undeniably more secure option to use password managers without their associated extensions. Certainly less convenient, but ponder carefully your threat model.
The one case where ownership has really shone over the past decades is that it's the only form of leveraged investment that's readily available to the public. In many places an "average" house has "earned" more in appreciation than an average salary every year.

It's pretty simple: the UAW wants to keep their members employed. This isn't necessarily unreasonable. However it is one of the factors which drove the old GM into bankruptcy. Toward the end they were building cars that no one wanted and selling them at a loss because due to restrictive union contacts that was actually cheaper than laying off workers.
Feel exactly the same about your two gripes! Seems odd that a language that considers it too risky to give devs things like ternary operators.. makes it so easy to accidentally shadow variables.

And the package thing gets annoying because it's natural to call a package that deal with foos.. the `foos` package.. but that's also the natural name somewhere else for a slice of foos.

The workers never take a share of the losses.

In 2005 when the company lost $10 billion or in 2007 when they lost $38 billion the union workers didn't get bills in the mail instead of checks. On a personal level, the workers are still making profit regardless of whether or not the company is as well.

In 2008 GM was a $100 billion in debt. The union workers didn't pay that, they didn't take responsibility for that, the taxpayers did.
I actually use those headphones for other things (I'm a studio recording musician in my copious spare time, and they're my favorite studio headphones). I just put the dongle in the same pocket as my wallet and loose change. Haven't lost it yet.

I'm not sure the iPhone dongle is even a DAC. It seems like an analog pass-through, but I could be wrong. At any rate, after decades of playing music and producing numerous albums, I figure I'm as golden-eared as anyone, and I don't feel the sound is compromised.
If humanity is struggling to stay alive is the economy even relevant anymore?
That's the problem: Approximately half of the US stock market is made up of passive funds like index trackers which make up a large percentage of American 401k and retirement plan portfolios.

As soon as a company IPOs they enter into the portfolio of millions of passive investors, who unwittingly become bagholders for companies like Uber and WeWork that have no sound fundamentals or viable business model.

The market has become very distorted due to this and a myriad of other reasons. Everyone is gunning to find the next winning unicorn lotto ticket without any regard for fundamentals in a sort of collective pump-and-dump scheme. Thankfully there was a glimmer of rationale with Uber and Lyft's failed IPOs, and I expect WeWork's will be even more disappointing.

I generally go for the prior model flagship, which with some careful shopping can often be found for 30-40% of the original price. For example my current phone is a pixel 2xl I got for about $260. It's significantly better than newer budget models but for roughly the same price. I should note that this price decline is much less significant for iPhones though.
Rich Hockey made a nice talk about this.

https://youtu.be/34_L7t7fD_U
The biggest difference between budget and flagship is the camera, which is very important to a lot of people.

There are a lot of people on hacker news (myself included) who hardly ever use their phone cameras and tend to forget that this is such a critical feature to so many people.

My personal reason for using flagship devices is simply because I use my phone an absurd amount. If you're using something for hours every day, marginal speed and quality of life improvements add up.
that doesn't make any sense. the capital to build, and operating expenses, aren't anywhere near $100B (direct costs). $100M makes more sense.
>...so there's less benefit to being a veteran worker than there would be as a "knowledge worker?"

There can still be benefits for the company to having an experienced workforce - and it comes down to the company and union culture. I've worked in union shops as in industrial engineer. Your experienced press operator can help troubleshoot problems better and faster than a newbie, and they can tell you all the ways a plan you have is wrong before you implement it. Whether they do or not varies. Some individuals have an attitude of "I do what I'm told and go home at the end of the day", some are more than willing to help and collaborate, some hate their job but are holding out for a pension, some literally work harder at not working than if they just did their job.

I had many internships before starting full time. Some places you'd never guess were union - mostly in a good way. Factory #1 I could go out on the line and talk with anyone, and largely everyone was helpful in trying to make the work more efficient, improve the bad parts of their jobs, etc. It felt wrong, but my first day on the job I went to the R&D manufacturing area with my coworkers, they made small talk with the union machinist, then started machining some parts. I was taken aback, and they then explained the union only really cares about normal production.

Also factory #1, as I was making standard work, one worker was 10' and up a ladder from his toolbox when he realized he had the wrong size socket. He'd messed up a few other times for the same kind of thing and was tired of going up and down. He asked me to hand him the right size socket. I "took work from union labor" when I did that, though that factory had the attitude of "if you're making my life easier, it's okay".

Factory #2: I've also worked places where the union workforce pushes for wage increases for every tiny thing that changes. You took added a monitor to the computer they run a machine with, you moved a few buttons on the interface, you change the process to greatly reduce the safety risks and also reduced labor required by a marginal amount. All of those have been brought up as reasons they deserve a raise.

Factory #3: experienced downtime due to a mouse running into a 2' pit on the production line. The workers exited and refused to return to work until they saw the dead mouse come out. Not directly relevant to the conversation, but a fun story to tell.
I suppose I'm not a reasonable person, then. I was under the impression FaceTime was a Facebook product, or at least bought from them.

Success for labor will truly come when they can do what management did: globalize.
