> Our target audience is developers building backends.

Why wouldn't developers building back-ends just continue building back-ends in their preferred language and environments?

I type this as I'm tabbed out of Visual Studio creating API back-end in C# .Net Core right now. It's easy.

With this I'd have to 1) Learn a new language 2) Learn a new GUI interface for that language 3) Lock myself in
It's pretty straight forward to get a quote, is it not?

Using hardware now is like using a land line with a rotary phone to make phone calls... It's pretty outdated to use hardware unless it's a unique or live instrument. Also if you use Hardware, you end up with a lot of complications in terms of recording your music into digital format, and you'll likely lose the things you create because hardware can easily get lost, stolen, reset, etc... Hardware interfaces are nothing like modern software interfaces now, so you'll also be learning a lot of stuff, but not stuff that allows you to jump into the modern world of music production.

If you are just starting out, in my opinion, the best way to get into working things out is to just dive deep into a software based music DAW, you can try Garage Band or Fruity Loops, which have a slightly lower learning curve than other tools, there are also tons of tutorials on youtube. Ableton is a bit overdone and technical as a starting point, but then again, most valuable skills don't have very easy entry/starting points in life.
The mast that your phone communicates with doesn't always have lots of fiber bandwidth. Sometimes it's only connected to other masts using microwave links (which could be outdated).

I was told by an ex-amazon employee that amazon basics were all designed in-house. As in, they're explicitly not white-labels.
Agreed. Part of a two person team, but the other is mainly on the business development front and I'm the main designer/coder.

It's so hard sometimes. No one to really bounce ideas off of, every little thing you have to do yourself. Staying inspired to work is sometimes difficult, because you are literally doing everything yourself it just gets so overwhelming.

I love Lisp and Prolog the languages and I went there first -- the issue always turns out to be either (a) they make hard stuff really easy, but stuff that should be easy really hard, and (b) IMHO nothing even comes close to the .Net ecosystem when it comes to debugging tools, libs, etc.
Clojure+Cursive comes closest, but the JVM world is a bit of a turn-off for me -- maybe I've been away from it too long, but it just seems a bit clunky. (And of course, reified generics, value types, etc., aren't available in the JVM.)
The meta-programming story isn't as good as in Lisp/Prolog of course. JS (as others have said) an acceptable Lisp and has some advantages for the type of work I'm doing -- my problem with JS (and Typescript) isn't the language, but the run-time environment of Node, which makes things like true parallel programming a PITA and incurs serialization overhead between workers.

I'm genuinely curious (not disparaging) who is using any of these (except for tinygo and gopherjs, for which the use case is apparent and niche)? Does anyone use gccgo or llvm-go? And why?
With my local library (Santa Clara county), I've noticed that there is no requirement to revalidate my local address.

They negotiate for the insured, not the uninsured. The hospital charges the insurance, the insurance comes back and says nahhh, this is how much we're paying, and they talk back and forth sometimes and settle on the price.

For the uninsured, there is no negotiation until after the patient contacts billing and bets for it and they won't get anywhere near the deal that an insured person gets.
I never claimed that my experiences reflected the majority. However, my experience is shared by a lot of other people nonetheless.

Also, I've tried a wide variety of different bluetooth earphones on a variety of different smartphones. If the problem is just that I haven't found the right combination, then I'd say that is an argument against bluetooth for this purpose.

I shouldn't have to do a deep research dive just to find the combination that works. We're talking about listening to music here, not something tricky where a large research effort is justified.
There is a per app sharing option. So perhaps they added granularity to what usage data sharing to exclude sensitive applications.
Yes, for less technical people that's great, but for people who are willing to deal with it for improved security, it's worth it. I'm not suggesting it to mom and pop here.

Writing a Process Monitor with Apple's Endpoint Security Framework
I use an iPhone 6s and sometimes my AirPods cut out randomly, and loses signal if they're in my pocket. I've been on quite a few walks where I need to hold my iPhone in my hand instead of having it in my pocket in order to listen to my podcast or whatever. Sometimes it's not a problem at all, though. Sometimes they don't charge, so I can only use 1 AirPod while I wait 5 minutes for the other one to charge a little. I can really understand why someone might find bluetooth maddening, but personally I find the wires even more annoying. Different strokes...
Very cool great looking collection!

The 'a stuff is marking the lifetimes. In this case saying that the return value in the happy case needs the inputs to last at least as long as the return value does before being freed because there might be a dependency between them.
I’m not living with my long term partner, out of choice. It has all the benefits you mention, but overall we spend more on some necessities / luxuries. For example, both homes have the same coffee making facilities, toothbrushes etc. The trade off is worth it for us. There are times when we both really appreciate having some space, it’s sometimes nice to be on my own after a long day at work.

Edit: spelling
There is a large - and growing - population of technically-minded people who understand the core concepts you're referring to (REST APIs, databases, HTTP, etc) and have ideas or needs for applications, but don't have the experience required to build non-naive implementations of their ideas.

Moving the bar on "high-level programming" up a few notches to remove even more of the plumbing required to build and launch an app is only a good thing in my mind. It provides more options for more people.

Dark definitely won't be for everyone, but it seems to me like it will empower a lot of people to bring their ideas to reality more easily than before.

>> SO/blogs are typically concerned with corner cases or specific assignements/problems.

> No, blog posts and online documentation are hardly limited in such a fashion.

I purposefully didn't mention online documentation because it's too easy to make the case that man pages are more often than not too obscure as starting material.

Blog posts don't cover everything. Online doc. does though (that's like... the point).

The way you are trying to build the argument that it's either paper books or online/e-books/blog/SO and there are mutually exclusive won't lead the conversation anywhere (note the usage of the word 'typically').

I am not getting into a cherry-picking argument contest with you. You prefer e-books and online doc and dislike paper books ? Fine by me.

There is a lot of why go in the article, but not much about why not rust. I couldn't tell why the conclusion was that Go is better than Rust at certain things.
One thing that crossed my mind while walking since my last comment is that this could be great when you work on a team with some junior developers. Like you say, they need to learn all the acronyms and concepts between them, but they're working in an ecosystem with guard rails and mentors who (assuming they're experienced with Dark) can easily keep them on track and help them solve common problems. Hopefully there would be less edge cases and rabbit holes to die in.

At the same time, I value all those scary holes I ventured into as a junior dev, the problem solving skills it helped develop, and the independence it instilled.

It's hard to say, I think this is a cool idea but I'm biased to prefer my own methods I guess. I can't imagine working in such a closed ecosystem these days.
I'm not discounting your experience, nor am I trying to devaluate the problem, but I think there are more than one reason why someone may ask "Why not Rust?".

In my case, I sometimes ask it to learn about particular real or perceived shortcomings of Rust, which may be fixable.

If I believe that Rust should address the problem, and someone chose not to use Rust (which is different from choosing to use Go!) I am curious as to what obstacle the person hit.

We should tame the zealous members of our community, but don't cluster everyone into the same bucket :) Some of us are just trying to build a great ecosystem and that requires us to find blindspots and notice hard-to-observe-from-inside problems.

I admit I only skimmed the article but it I didn't see it say that Milton actually physically met Shakespeare, right: this is simply a metaphorical use?

Doesn't detract from the excitement of the article, I just would love to think how the elder might have influenced the younger.
Eh, in practice I haven’t missed explicit (closed) sum times as much as I thought I would. I started using Haskell many years ago (20-ish?) and have written some medium-size apps with it, and I’m very comfortable with using "switch x := y.(type)" in Go where I would use an ordinary "case y of" in Haskell. The only thing missing here is a compile-time check for completeness.

Missing polymorphism is a valid complaint but it hasn’t had the impact I thought it would.

Meanwhile, some of the programs I had written in Haskell I’ve rewritten in Go, e.g. due to problems with the use of finalizers (causing crashes!) in Haskell. You can chalk this up to poor library design but it simply isn’t a problem in Golang, which seems to avoid the finalizers more than other languages.

I’m going to continue using both Go and Haskell, I’m happy with both.
I think retail stores controlling what you see based on how much money they get which is quite similar to Amazon controlling what you see in a search result based on profitability, but I guess we can agree to disagree. However, it's not just stores like Best Buy. Your local grocery store almost certainly makes a large percentage of their profit from companies paying for shelf space. End caps don't come out of thin air.
I'd agree if it crashed the calling process, but crashing the entire VM is way too noisy of a way to go out.
I'm guessing the $4/hr price estimation is based on an average of the prices ListenNotes actually charges to transcribe a podcast, as shown on ListenNotes.com for various individual episodes.
What I don't get is: it's not an either/or proposition, it's not like you have to choose between having wired and wireless headphones.

I use my Airpods on my android phone, and they're pretty nice for when I'm doing housework and working around the shop. When I'm at work, I plug in my plantronics headset for conference calls, and my regular cans when I'm listening to music. Airpods don't have the stamina to keep up with a long day of work, nor the sound quality I want - they are a compromise device.

I don't really care about this debate too much anymore, since it seems that a few good manufacturers are still clued in that this is an actual need that a lot of people have (I've been using a Moto G5, and now I'm using an S9). But it is odd to still pushing the claim that "everyone got over it" with regards to headphone jacks - I never got over it, and I continue to vote with my wallet.

Java is one example of modern language without proper generics. They have syntax sugar for Object references, but you can do almost the same with golang using interface{}.
Definitely. I used Android for almost 5 years and I use iOS for 2 now.

iOS apps on average are definitely faster, smoother and well-made in terms of visual beauty.

>> C++ is one of the hardest languages to use

> No.

Most defenses I've seen of C++ boils down to something along the lines of "you're using it wrong (tm)".

I've seen enough C++ to take the side of "the design is probably wonky if it's that easy to do the wrong thing."
You're a bigot.
For most people bluetooth is not perfect. For some, it's tolerable. For me, it's a pain in the ass that requires frequent re-pairing, mucking around with configuration, recharging headphones, and generally thinking about how to set it up and why it's not working. The total set of failure modes for wired headphones is much easier to understand.
Term limits make activity like this less of a problem for the perpetrator.
I'm not asking for specifics but do you use Haskell at work? Is it in academia? I have worked for several large and small corps and no one has used Haskell. Most use C++, a lot use Go, a few use some rust, but none of them were using Haskell. I met people who use Haskell in their spare time because of their love for CS things, but never in production code.
"The devils you know vs. the devils you don't." It's been keeping C alive for decades. Now go is an old boy, too. Rust is the new kid that seasoned developers don't trust. It's got not enough features and yet too many already.

There is a consistent trend of crash, liberal leadership elected, passing liberal economic recovery and regulation legislation, time for Americans to forget why the crash happened, then the election of conservative leadership, cannibalization of successful regulation, tax cuts, then another crash. This happened under W into 2007 and under Trump today (with the addition of tariffs). It also happened under Reagan in the 80's (trickle down...).

generally speaking, regulation slows but also stabilizes economic growth. Until the removal of the gold standard and stronger fiscal and economic policy in the 30's, we had a boom bust cycle almost yearly with inflation/deflation cycles often within 16 months and massive spikes and drops in the stock market. Since the New Deal era, the stock market has seen typically steady growth without constant swings in inflation and a longer trend or cycle to economic crashes usually dictated by the process in my first paragraph.

> But, if we do some major, major rounding, and assume that the tech industry is the sum of its top companies, at $1 trillion/year, $45 billion is about 5% of the industry.

> So, what happens when 5% of any industry is controlled by parties that are not direct shareholders?

This seems like an odd comparison to force arrival at a number as high as "5%", not including the rounding. Why would you compare a single investment of $45B to annual revenue? Control would imply ownership, so I'd expect the comparison to be to the summed market cap of those companies, which is obviously higher than $1T.
And it was a mistake in all of them.
Shylock wanted much more than just a pound of flesh. Shylock was very clear about the injustices that had been committed against him. The famous "hath not a Jew hands" speech is far more than just an incidental "Oh, yeah, antisemitism" add-on to the play. Shylock's plight is complex and real, not just a cardboard villain. There is a passing reference to his wife, who had given him the ring that his daughter stole, and it's utterly heartbreaking.

The play is actually quite sympathetic to Shylock, even if none of the other characters are. Antonio is no more a cardboard hero than Shylock is a cardboard villain. Neither is Portia, for that matter -- who is herself struggling with the injustice of her father controlling her from beyond the grave, marrying her off almost by lottery. The play is of its time, to be sure, but the people then were just as complex and conflicted as we are now, and a good performance of it today isn't easily dismissed as "look at the awful way people behaved 400 years ago".
Just to underscore this, here's a video of some guy booting an Ultra 45, the last workstation Sun ever made. It takes 30s just to go from power-on to firmware initialized and another minute and a half to start Solaris. Older equipment such as a SPARCStation 20 would take much longer.

It might take Alice 10 hours to do the sysadmin, 5 for the database, and 15 for the devops.
Bob however can do the devops in 2 hours, sysadmin in 3 hours and database in 4 hours.
Bob is of course more productive, but if you let Alice do all the DBA, then Bob will be even more productive, and the total output of your team will increase.
I'm having trouble understanding what this is. Is it supposed to be a competitor to Django/Rails/etc.? or a competitor to ansible? a competitor to docker? Something else?

If I have a Django/Django REST Framework app, can I deploy it with Darklang? How is it better than "git push heroku master" for small apps?
Since the uninsured pay more than the insured for the same proceedure, wouldn't that make it the uninsured who are subsidizing the insured?

Joking aside, tt is near impossible to find good numbers for this, but the research I read indicates that most of the money for uncompensated care ends up coming from government and any impact on prices of care for the insured is negligible.
What competition? There was never anything on that level before Google Maps came around. It's not like Mapquest ever offered similar functionality. Google didn't invent GPS mapping, but they did seem to invent combining it with a bunch of really useful other information like business addresses, hours, reviews, photos, easy searching, etc. And that doesn't even include stuff that isn't useful in cars, like walking/biking directions, public transit directions/hours/etc.

Would we have gotten all this without a near monopoly like Google? The only thing I've seen that comes close is Apple Maps, and that too is backed by a gigantic company with its tentacles in many things. Some company that only does maps isn't going to have access to all that data, so you'll just get a program that makes pretty maps that's only useful if you know the GPS coordinates for something, which of course no one does.
Half of that must be me :-) This is so cool I watched it over and over again.
