Repl.it is a super useful site for prototyping and running code in the browser. One of the best features is the package manager workflow, and I love being able to just import packages and have them be automatically installed.

I'm super excited that they released their package manager to the public! I've honestly been missing this workflow, I might work on a vscode plugin to implement similar package install functionality to Repl.it's online IDE.

Thanks, team :)
YC owns a tiny tiny piece of AirBnB. They definitely do not have any sort of power over the issues that you bring up.

also why isn't the central valley of California featured? pretty sure they produce more than los angeles county.
Don't discount ease of distribution due to creating giant rolled up binaries.

The size of binaries isn't that big of a deal for servers any more. On the other hand, setting up a python or whatever env can be a pain, especially before docker really took off. Being able to push a Go binary and it Just Works is awesome.
A lot of the midwest (or the great plains) is devoted to feed corn and corn for ethanol, wheat, and soybeans. It's not california where you'll find fields of lettuce, for example.

With that said, there's no shortage of small farms growing most anything that can be grown in the area, but they tend to not be exporting anything beyond the local farmers market.
could've been worse.
You can also do this directly with metrics on human games. It’s something that I know wizards of the coast does with Magic the Gathering decklists, just counts the copies of cards and keeps track of the “conversion rate” of them (how likely is this deck to pass some threshold, like have a positive win percentage, given that it has this card). They are doing it primarily to spot ban targets (the paper aspect of cards means you can buff without printing a new set of cards), but it is the same idea.
Marketing != ethics
Thanks! I didn't realize the connection until recently either. Bob Swanson is a very underrated founder
Thank you all for your feedback and advice. I really appreciate it. I also appreciated how you were being honest about things.
> But one benefit of dependency injection unacknowledged in this article is that dependency injection is the explicitness of dependencies: the need to pass them in forces the caller to be aware of which dependencies exist, and changes in dependencies cannot be ignored (they lead to compilation errors in statically typed languages, at least).

This no longer appears to be true, as most projects nowadays do dependency injection via frameworks like guice or spring. Instead of the caller injecting all dependencies, the caller simply tells the framework that it wants an instance of FooBar, and relies on the framework to magically retrieve all dependencies and use them to construct the instance of FooBar
Zero people have been killed by the police in the current Hong Kong protests, as far as we know.
I'm glad you brought up ham radio licenses. drones can certainly be dangerous if they are misused. although it would be inconvenient for me, I would not oppose stricter licensing requirements for drones and other potentially dangerous products. it could even be required to buy one in the first place. requiring a license says something like "we need to know that you understand the rules and are capable of following them". software controls imply "we don't trust you to follow the rules, even if you understand them". I realize this is a matter of opinion, but I think the second message is just inappropriate for a citizen in a free society.
The way it's written means "things we believe are the result of Go's success", not "things we believe are the cause of Go's success". It's a word order issue. You attribute the smoke to the fire.
Who is the "they?"

The rank and file employees who by all accounts had nothing to do with this decision, and don't support it?

I generally agree with the position against censorship on behest of an authoritarian government, but I find the harassment of Blizzard employee's appalling.

The employees by and large who are attending BlizzCon want to do so to celebrate their hardwork and interact with their fanbase. I hardly think they deserve to feel dread.
Back when I was a youngster playing nettrek, the same thing happened. Basically, those smart enough to hack the code could create their own cheats. The wikipedia page says that game mechanics were changed so that borgs no longer had a specific advantage, but I don't know what those game mechanics were. Though it was pretty obvious if you were playing against a borg or not at least in the early days. In play chat also alerted people to those that were playing borgs.

Ah yes, the downfall of WalMart. The...checks notes...largest company by revenue in America.
What’s really funny, is that within Google, I don’t think Go was really given much priority for a while. I sure get the picture that the Go team was just smart and trusted, but the project was more of some internal thing.

Basically, the point being, it was Google _developers_ that made the “backing” grow via demand, not some official “initiative”. Initially, this gave me some initial trepidation, but Go has gotten more and more outside engagement each year it’s existed, which is definitely making things just better.

Thus, I don’t really think Google has “backed it” like Sun backed Java. It’s just that Google hires lots of smart people, and those smart people backed it. I’d say Dart is more of an official “google backed” tech. Go is like the language that is succeeding despite their management objectives.
You would attribute programs and services written in Go, that would have been worse in another language, to Go's success.
You should have aged out by 5-7 years.
Dart is practically a DOA project, just like NaCl. These projects failed for the same reasons - they were trying to radically change how you built software on the web, and the world was absolutely not ready for it. DART was going to be a separate VM in your browser and, of course, only Chrome supported it. It never could have succeeded in that role.

No language has usurped Javascript for frontend, and the only two approaches that may work are:

a) Typescript, which intends to be very close to javascript

b) Webassembly, which has taken years to get off the ground

Go didn't have that problem to contend with. I don't think it's fair to say that because Dart failed to take off quickly that proves that Google isn't the main reason for Go's success.

edit: I see lots of "Dart is a counterexample" posts. It really shouldn't be considered one.
Pretty impressive and amazing besides the late night talk shows and two news channels, Linus Tech Tips is the highest "p-score" individual channel. Not bad for a tech centric concept that essentially builds PC gaming rigs.
> Feeds are highly curated.

Nitpick: IMHO, feeds aren't curated, since curation implies some kind of human judgement at the least (and preferably an expert's judgement). Feeds are algorithmically sorted. Calling them curated debases the term.
You can't do that anyway. You can't put GPLv3 apps on the App Store.

ProtonMail can put this app on the store, because they own it and can relicense the App Store build at-will. But no one else owns ProtonMail's code, so we can't take it, give it an App Store-compatible license, and publish it.
Or at least using the propellants from shallower gravity wells.

Indeed, asteroids are the best places. After that come smaller moons. The Moon, Mars, Earth are very deep and steep gravity wells and not practical.

The Moon doesn't have proper elements for fuels anyway.

I've only used it once, about a year ago. I wanted to visit Nuremberg, Germany, but I picked a terrible time of the year when the hotel rates were atrocious. So I looked on AirBnB and found an older couple renting a bedroom in their private home about 30 minutes away from the city for only about $45/night. It turned out to be a really nice experience, and I think this is what at least some people are looking for. Staying at a private (and very nice) home with some hosts (who actually live there) in a spare room is an international experience you won't get with a hotel or even a hostel. For me, it was mildly inconvenient that I had to take a train 30 minutes to get to the city those two days, but it was well worth seeing a small town I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and getting to meet actual German people and see how they live and attempt to talk to them in my broken German.

I guess you just really have to be careful when you use a service like this. It's like eBay in a way: you can get ripped off on there, but if you're careful and only buy from reputable sellers, you can get some great deals.

That's a reference from 1986. We now know that the increase in aggression is due to higher levels of estradiol due to aromatization of testosterone to estradiol. It's pretty well known that if you give a group of men exogeneous testosterone and an aromatase inhibitor, they will report being calmer and more relaxed.
I think the distinction is between statically typed and dynamically typed languages, which for other reasons lines up with compiled vs. interpreted.

A lot of the benefit of statically typed languages are the tooling around them (IDE integration/autocomplete/error messages). These represent a fairly expensive (resource wise) area of investment and so the resources of a large company has high ROI.
>They might try to straddle the US and China, on the basis that the US has no real teeth

That's the point. The US can't really shut out Blizzard even if they engage in this kind of behavior, because the US gives them freedom to make their own decisions. I'm saying that if it's a lose-lose sustain then Blizzard might pick appeasing the Chinese market, because there's a limit to what can happen to them in the US. The players might get mad, but plenty of gaming companies exist that lots of players are angry about (eg EA, Ubisoft).
I don't think the backing of Go is even comparable to Java.

Also Dart is a counterexample.

I think the biggest reason for Go's success is that is it incredibly accessible. Everything around and in Go is ergonomic, well documented, easy to understand and clean. It is a language that cares about the tooling and social aspects as first class concepts.
My guess is that things grown in California route through those places for export.The counties surrounding Fresno all have massive amounts of agriculture, but do their "business" at the hub (Fresno).
I guess now-a-days blogspot/wordpress blogs don't rank in Google search results.
But you can still do reproducible builds with Java. GP refers to wanting to avoid Java for no good reason, not reproducible builds themselves.
I don't know why the assumption is always that a democracy is incapable of tyranny. Gay marriage had been illegal for most of our modern democracies' histories under the tyranny of democracies. Prostitution and drug usage are currently illegal under the tyranny of democracies. In England the manner in which you discuss large scale immigration or transgender issues, or what pornography is acceptable to watch is subject to review under the tyranny of democracy.

The jack of two trades is the master of none. Yes, other disciplines will inevitably learn to code out of sheer necessity but it will be a secondary skillset for them. They will not have the depth of knowledge of software development and the inner workings of computers that a dedicated software engineer would and their code will mostly be at the level of a one-off or prototype.

Software engineers will still be around as the people who will take code from other professionals and work with them to turn it from a prototype into a production ready codebase. That means unit tests, fixing performance issues, building in security, building proper UI/UX, adding things necessary for regulatory compliance (e.g. accessibility, GDPR, etc.) and so forth.
Yeeeeaaaahhhh....

I don't see these as being successful in the short to medium term. Unless it can act exactly like a human (to the point were most / all people can't tell the difference) I think it is going to be too creepy for widespread use.

If we see a more interactive robot / android doing tasks like customer interaction, I think it will likely be a more cartoon-y avatar on a video screen.
What about bananas and carrots?
It's backwards. Attributing things to Go's success vs. attributing Go's success to things.

Things someone attributes to Go's success would be things caused by Go's success. For example, the proliferation of stuff written in Go, the number of people making money as Go experts, the appearance of a Go entry in Wikipedia.

Things to which someone attributes Go's success (i.e. so-and-so attributes Go's success to these things) would be things that caused Go's success - such as the things in the article.

Headline could've been done correctly, but perhaps the problems started with digesting something by Rob Pike and turning it into a listicle. Which then has to have both its listicleness ("five things") and the presence of Rob Pike, advertised in the headline. But I might be being cynical.
Its a company, and should only do business. It should have no right to dictate other people's politics, platform, governance policy and speech. They have no right to stop what other persons speak because they are not the government.

Businesses should have no power except to sell their products and services (Not even indirect power that helps them sell their products and services better)

> The whole notion of country shouldn't exist in the conversation of "global warming"

It depends if you're talking about how things should be, or how they are.

Or, whether the point of the conversation is strictly to communicate scientific details, or to persuade the entire non-homogeneous population of an entire planet to alter their behavior. If I was running the show, I would craft a completely different conversation for the latter situation, since it is infinitely more complex, but this doesn't seem to be a terribly popular opinion. Rather, the chosen approach seems to be to just blast a few variations of a tiny (and sometimes incorrect) subset of the content from the former conversation repeatedly through various media channels, insult those (typically based on simplistic strawman caricatures) who aren't eagerly jumping on board, and complain about how "stupid" people are. We'll see how this approach turns out, but so far it doesn't seem to be very effective in my estimation.

If this situation was reasonably accurately recreated in a video game, I suspect the problem would have been identified and solved long ago, but here in the real world where we have very real consequences, we're unable to approach problems with the same intellectual rigor we would in a video game. Humans are a complex species.
This is pretty much all there is to it. Perhaps study others closely as well.
Interesting.

I live in a semi-rural area and with no cable/fiber/dsl options available.

In my experience, most home internet offerings from the big mobile carriers will throttle you fairly quickly if your usage goes to a few hundred GB (easy to do with streaming, os updates, etc). They may not have a limit, but once you're throttled it is basically unusable.
Online 'culture' is not the world. It doesn't represent anything like a majority of human culture, and it's been demonstrated time and time again the even those who heavily participate in online communities have radically more subtle and contradictory opinions offline.

Lets not give up on humanity just yet, merely because online social media is reactive and polarised.
Exactly. What this should reveal to us is that the "wokeness" of corporations is mostly disputable. Yes, they sense the winds of change, etc., but look a bit more closely and you see that it's often cynically adopting the language of the majority culture to garner broad appeal, not real ethics at work.
Signed up this morning for the service. I should have the gateway next week. A few things to note

1) The gateway has built in wifi (and is provided free)
2) It provides 2 ethernet ports
3) You use an app to see most of it (how much data you've used, etc).
4) They say when 5g is in the area, it will be upgraded to it.

A programmers job is more about discovering what's needed to solve a problem and working out an effective and efficient way of translating that in to logic than implementing it in code. Code is the least interesting or challenging part of the whole thing.
You are wrong on that. A company I worked for was investigated after a complain about H1B process. I actually had an investigator call me asking all kinds of questions. They do take complaints about H1B abuse seriously.

What does “dynamic languages” mean?
I think your intuition is correct that the translation step is cheap on modern silicon. One interesting thing to note is that Intel doesn't allow you to write code as micro-ops to bypass that step. This is an advantage for them as it allows them to optimize (add, modify, and remove) microops with every generation without having to worry about backwards compatibility. As long as your compiler can spit out some crusty old x86 looking instructions it is free to optimize all it wants under the hood. Having a more efficient ISA introduces a lot of pain with backwards compatibility for only a modest reduction in complexity for a step that is cheap already. Not a win.

How the system handles rolling back a migration?
The things I didn't understand that I suspect are universal are

1. It's not about writing code that works. That's the bare minimum. The real game is writing readable and maintainable code.

2. I had no clue that the most important thing isn't writing the code, but to work well as a team.

Also, I was just plain inexperienced. I had written a fair amount of code, but nothing like what you learn from doing in 40h/week, year after year. Raw talent is good, but it can't beat raw talent + experience.
It’s a valid question. T-Mobile for their cell service only offer “unlimited” plans but it’s two kinds of “unlimited”. There’s “5gb at LTE speed and then unlimited at 2G speed” and there is “truly 100% unlimited with no catch”.

I’ve run up over 100gb in one month on my truly unlimited T-Mobile plan and never had any issues. But who knows what their ISP offer will be.
I used to think something similar of many of my favourite musicians who were making their best work in the 1970s.

The thing is that sometimes people crank out something amazing later in their career that no one saw coming.

So I say artists should do what they like whilst they still love doing it; leave the rest of the world to the job filtering the results into a "canon" of best work.

> We simultaneously fear the power of Facebook but then demand they become the final arbiter of the truth, censoring even the speech of our political leaders.

They won't be any kind of "arbiter of truth" if they just decide to refuse to carry all political ads, like Twitter has decided to do.

I think that it's quite possible that a total laissez faire attitude towards quantity of paid speech may be incompatible with democracy, in the context of disinformation campaigns and massive wealth inequality, etc. Free speech without democracy is pointless. These issues may require some adjustment to our social contracts.

The first person in the article worked for 10 years as a production manager at a small advertising agency, so I don't see how it would be likely that she was hard to work with.

On the other hand, the value of advertising might be less nowadays, or at least more of the value is captured by Google/FB and a few big advertising firms, so perhaps there is no more need for someone with her skills from advertising work.
