> This whole thread was about you saying that pattern matching was undesirable from the point of view of Go's designers or implementors due to their design goal of simplicity.

The only use of "undesirable" in any of my comments was in regard to features that are prevalent across languages today. If you must know I was thinking of inheritance and exceptions specifically.

As far as pattern matching goes, I was making no arguments except to say that I like it, adding a feature like pattern matching adds some non-zero amount of complexity, and that the go authors are apparently uncomfortable with that complexity. As I am not a go author, I am unsure of their exact reasoning and would not think to say why they believe that. My implication was not that I have an exact concrete reason for why the go authors feel the way they do. It was merely that I don't inherently disbelieve them when they say they have a reason.

In fact my exact wording was "I think that's a perfectly reasonable stance to take", which does not imply agreement, only a lack of strong disagreement. In other words I don't think they're ignorant of the matter or misrepresenting the situation.

> But you didn't share knowledge. You suggested that you had knowledge that was pertinent to the topic at hand. But you didn't share it. You did share tips for resources where one can learn more, and that's great. But you didn't add something like "... and that's where I learned that pattern matching is undesirable because <technical reason>".

The comment that appears to have gotten you riled up was after the person I was talking to saying they understood. After a discussion about language complexity I thought that it would be appropriate to suggest some resources on a "quick" project that can help build an intuition on that topic. And to be honest, it's a project I like to find excuses to suggest. I find people tend to be surprised at how easy and fun it can be to make some meaningful progress.

I understand that you would like for me to somehow short circuit that process, but I don't believe I am capable of building someone else's intuition by posting a throwaway comment on HN. Intuitions are typically built on experience and tinkering, not reading someone else's experiences.

That you view that project suggestion as a continued argument is unfortunate, I can assure you that was not my intent. Again referencing the HN guidelines, I encourage you in future to try to read people's posts first with the assumption that they are being genuine and only fall back to an assumption of malice when you absolutely have to. Long drawn out arguments over semantics don't help anyone.
It bothers me how many people think I’m psychotic when I express this opinion. Frankly, I don’t care whose content they are promoting - SOMEONE please put a fucking price tag on a service that plays exactly the content I select AND NOTHING ELSE.

Stupid semantic arguments about whether it is an ad are not are completely irrelevant to the fact that I don’t want to see content I did not pick.
It's not about complexity, it's about convenience. The simplest bid on eBay is... the highest price you'll pay for it.

However, most people didn't think of it that way or want to do that (believe me I worked there for years), and they didn't like the chance to lose it anyway after waiting (snipers and bid shilling got ridiculous).

Fixed price is easier and you get it quicker. It may be less complex but if the price looks reasonable it's definitely more convenient.
Apple did away with its rainbow logo in about 1998. The modern monochrome Apple logo should not be a carrier nor able to infect anyone with "the gay".

Consoles are very different, the hardware is subsidized by Sony where with Apple you pay a premium. Also consoles are more an entertainment device you use a few hours a day or just in weekends where smartphones are replacing general computers.

Comparing a smartphone and a console is a big stretch
I appreciate the frustration as a developer but as a user some of those APIs e.g. Push and Media Capture come with a lot of downsides.

I just checked Safari Desktop and I have well over 50 websites that I have blocked for Push Notifications. Many of which have no need to e.g. image site. But thankfully Apple has a polished, easily accessible UI for me to switch them off so not a huge deal.

On Safari iOS there is no Settings screen and not an obvious place to put one. You could put it under the main Settings screen but (a) nobody checks there and (b) it makes it confusing if you think of PWA as being a website still. And so you could end up with Push API being a feature that is hard to turn off. And that makes it a huge net negative for users.

Similar for the Web Capture API.
Even though both the Sinclair/Murdoch TV/radio web have vastly greater influence and audiences, explicit cultivate and advertise their bias and run stories uncorroborated anywhere else in the free world, they are not mentioned.

installing trough package manager has been the default on Linux for what, 20 years now? it was called installing from sources instead of side loading, but it wasn't the default, and it's something you can do anyway in both iPhone and Android and it takes more or less the same effort and knowledge. the outliers were dos and Windows, and even then it caused loads of issues so much they had y to add multiple layers of checks between signatures, uac, blacklists and defenders because average users cannot be trusted to manage their own systems
Because the majority opinion is set to actually be implemented, so it will be obvious to everyone whether or not it is wrong.
Could you quantify some of your assertions, so I can better understand your perspective? I'm not looking for sources and serious analysis, but just looking for more precise numbers. What % of posts do you think are manipulated? How much worse has that number gotten over time?
Measured solely by quality, maybe, but it is often faster and cheaper.
Thanks! That's what I figured about topicals. As for foods, I guess the question would have been better framed as IF a food has any antifungal effect, would it thus necessarily also stress the liver? Or is that merely a common property of anti-fungal meds so far, but not a property of things that kill fungus per se.
When I think audiophile, I think beyond high end, like Sennheiser's $59,000 headphones.

Of course even a non-audiophile can notice the difference between $30 and $200 headphones, but I wonder how many people could tell the difference between $2000 and $60k headphones.

I think one other factor to consider is your future. You might have food, internet, healthcare, and a roof over your head right now, but if your current situation will lead to a lack of one of these in the future, then you could probably already be considered poor. Eg, if you lose your job and can't get another one, then you still have some savings to have food, internet, healthcare, and housing, but you will lose it in the future.
"There has never been a mobile platform that allowed desktop level freedom to install whatever you wanted." -- You mean like the old Palm and Nokia Symbian allowed us to do?
I think that's what the internet is about.
You are right. I've been dealing with this personally with PostGIS and storing large geometries. Ideally you split the geometries up in to many smaller geometries (using a built-in function), and it's much faster to calculate intersections, contained lengths, etc using those instead.

Many places online recommend storing this collection of divided geometries as a materialized view, but I recently had to move it to a separate real table because inserting a single new record would take 15 minutes to update the view (on an RDS 4xlarge database). It could at least update concurrently, so other reads didn't block, but now that the the divided geometries are stored in a separate table I can add new records in under 5 seconds usually.
I've assembled an Iris 2.1 for someone before. Can do.
Console manufacturers take a loss at the start but they start to make a profit as the components become less expensive.

And a console is exactly what Apple has tried to emulate so of course it's relevant.
Nitpick: both Symbian and Windows Mobile/CE allowed this in the pre-iPhone times.

How would you apply a Vickrey auction to SaaS subscription pricing?

Somehow I have great difficulty believing his story. So he received GayCoin instead of BitCoin? Then he decided to try a same sex relationship in real life? Now he has a boyfriend, can't tell his parents, and will never again be normal?

It sounds like he cannot accept himself and wants to find someone or something to blame.

Furthermore, if he received the wrong crypto currency, how is Apple to blame?

While I too wish for better support for PWAs in iOS, the way push notifications are implemented in PWAs and iOS are fundamentally incompatible. iOS requires all push notifications to go through Apple's push server, which means there is only one long-poll connection to check and significant battery savings. Whereas, Google's PWA docs[1] literally lists random-push-service.com as the push server.

...on a MacBook - I forgot to tell you - you have to buy first.
Is this a serious comment? I'm genuinely uncertain whether you mean this seriously.
Ideally, PWAs added to the home screen would show up in the Settings app like normal iOS apps do. You would be able to control notification settings and privacy settings just like on any other app.

If they don’t want to allow web push for websites, that’s one thing, but crippling PWAs that users have chosen to add to their home screen is another thing entirely.

> Similar for the Web Capture API.

You can already use the camera through a PWA on iOS, until you add it to the home screen. Then, last time I checked, it stopped being able to use the camera or even ask for permission to use the camera, which really hurts the usefulness of PWAs.
I'm reading that as satire (edit: though your last line was so uncannily realistic I really had to triple-check). To reply seriously to one bit: I'm not saying it isn't happening. I'm just asking the people who are sure it's happening, how they know. Either they have a way of deciding this that actually works, in which case we need to know what it is, so we can use it—or they don't, in which case the answers are interesting for other reasons.
You’re still glamorizing a select body of work and overlooking the fact that the vast majority of employees are not working on those projects.

For sure there is interesting work to be had, but don’t pretend that everyone is toiling away on what you see on GH and HN.

It is true that as a comp.sci student, I did most of my reading online. But one of the best things about library for me was to get a tour of all the other discipline books. See what students from other branches were studying and look at their library books. This is definitely much richer experience than just going crawling on the web. It was also a quiet place to study and prepare for tests/exams. It was also the place where we got all our printing and photocopying done. I don't see these needs going away no matter how much we rely on our connected phones, tablets and laptops.
I suppose it depends on your definition of 'good'

Safari on macOS already implements a proprietary web push technology using APNS. Push providers like OneSignal already support it.

Wallstreet got a hold of "FAANG" from developers... the original reference was the list of companies that were doing the most interesting Tech work (companies with a lot of money and a lot of interesting problems) when the acronym popped up. Basically companies the best devs/ engineers would want to work for.

So nah... pulling out Netflix wouldn't make sense... though it seems like there is a safe argument for the inclusion of Microsoft.
Once could come to the same conclusion with all social media. Youtube is already known to have a pedo problem.
Perhaps there is a case once you learn AWS and GCP that they are similar in UX. But as a developer who doesn't typically deal with cloud deployments I found that setting up a GCP instance with all the security features (specifically network related) I want is significantly easier.

Maybe that isn't a good argument for a business to use GCP over AWS but it is an important point.
Indeed; a good library is a long-tail institution. The Harvard Library system has a large collection of books at the various on-campus libraries, but an immense catalog of infrequently accessed books at a "depository" warehouse off-site. Scholars can request items from the Depository and receive them within a day.

This split-storage model may a sensible solution for other universities going forward: prime and expensive library buildings on-campus can be reserved for quiet study areas and a few commonly-used books, with the main collection of books retrievable from a nearby location where land is less expensive. It also has the advantage of allowing books to be stored in the ideal climate for their preservation.

Fun fact about the Harvard Depository: books are organized not by topic, publication date, or anything resembling the Dewey decimal system, but rather by a metric that makes sense for high-density: physical size. Books are stored in barcoded boxes by height. Here is an artsy documentary, "Cold Storage," about the Depository:

From my experience corporate VPNs exist to allow employees to access internal resources remotely. They aren't typically used for security although they can provide some form of security for remote workers.
My PhD is in mechanical engineering with a minor in computer science. I would just remind you that a PhD is a research degree. If you really don't like research, it may not be for you. You should also be quite good at math since PhD-level work in CS is very math-oriented. The comments about the financial costs are also something to keep in mind. You shouldn't expect a PhD to be a net positive financially over your working life. What it can do is give you the ability to tackle a wider array of projects during your career along with the confidence to know you're capable of working in new fields. I've worked in spacecraft engineering, as a research professor in medicine, as a self-employed software developer, and am now working on a robotics project of my own design. Tackling new fields is not a problem because I know I can do the research necessary to get up to speed. Maybe I'd have the same attitude with only a MS, but I doubt it.
I get that "no encouraging illegal behavior" could be a rule.

Against non-pros at a cash game broadcast on the internet. Odds are half the people he's playing against are out of their comfort zone, playing higher stakes than they should just to be on a stream.

Not to mention there's no buy-in limit on these stakes, BB/100 means nothing if they're playing above the expected stakes (happens often if the biggest stakes are relatively low).

Again, none of what you're saying is actually proof.

A dotfile manager in this context is a way to transfer them between machines, not to edit them. As long as you're able to sync the folder containing the dotfiles (through Dropbox or Git or a thumb drive), you can use this program to install/uninstall your dotfiles on whatever machine you're using.

It allows you to keep non-centralized files in a centralized location with very little setup, basically. My window manager config lives in several different directories around my home folder, but with this I just set a mapping from repo locations to the home directory and everything is handled automatically.

So Aridca is legit. The USG has put out a title III contract for making this stuff. Look up Dept Energy and alane. They poured a lot of money into it. The issue is making it correctly, and cheaply.
