Some great points about go:

If you don't use it, remove it (compiler checks to see if a variable / module import is actually used)

The real pleasure in go vs c/c++ is compiling / linking is easy with the new go modules support, multi-platform out of the box. Kinda like cargo in rust. Kinda.

Downside is.. C/C++ modules are 2nd class citizens that can slow your whole code down.. Conversion is much better, but usually someone has done it yet.. sqlite needs a go port.

I think of go as an advanced assembly language with some c-like idioms and a powerful runtime to handle processor thread scheduling.

Yet another Jails management tool, written in sh. There are plenty of them already: ezjail, cbsd, iocage and many others. All those tools does pretty much the same thing and all of them has the same problem - poor user experience and unfinished product. And if you use jails in production, you're always better of by creating and managing them without third party products. FreeBSD Jails stuck in the loop for years - core devs does not provide fully packaged product, and everyone else tries to implement their own version.

According to current thinking, the homeostatic mechanism is inflation expectations. People currently have "anchored" inflation expectations in that expect any inflation to remain stable in the long run. If inflation expectations become unanchored (like in the 70s), then it requires larger and larger inflation to stimulate the economy.

I’m not making any point about Go in my post, not trying to compare them, only to speak about Rust’s situation here, since that’s the question that was asked.

I have written some, but not a ton, of go. It is opinionated in ways that are very different than my own opinions, and so I didn’t enjoy it very much. That said, I deeply respect the Go team, and am glad others really like it. I’m not really the best person to compare the two languages, which is why I try not to do it.

Feedback: Automating adding value to your network
Hey guys!

I'm Armando, Co-founder of Bluup. We believe that the best way to keep professional relationships is by constantly adding value to the other person. However, due that we all have busy lives, we neglect to do it. Therefore, we lose the relationship.

We automate this task. Startup founders or other super busy people register the interests of their mentors/future investors. We scrape the web for news, podcast, and papers. Our users will get the link of the content that adds the most value to each of her contacts, and they can forward them to them.

Our website is www.bluup.co

Could you give us feedback?
Yes, we use RAII extensively.

Well I suppose an Oracle victory could be good news for AT&T if they own the copyright to the standard C library and the UNIX/POSIX API.

Then they could demand licenses for any C toolchain as well as any piece of code (libc, Linux) that included libc/UNIX compatible declarations.

This could be highly beneficial to software engineering since it would discourage the use of languages like C and Java, as well as UNIX-like systems. ;-)

> At the time when the API is created, there is creative expression as to what the API should look like.

At the time a recipe is created there is creative expression as to what ingredients will be in the recipe. Creativity/originality is a necessary but insufficient condition for copyright.

> According to the 9th Circuit opinion, for the purpose of whether an API is copyrightable, interoperability (with client programs) does not factor in.

I disagree with the 9th circuit here. To be clear, my argument is not that because copying is necessary for interoperability, APIs are not copyrightable. Rather, the argument is that because only one API (including SSO) fits any given purpose and because it is not functional in itself, the API is closer to an "idea", a "system", or a "method of operation" rather than a "literary work" under the Copyright Act section 102. A data structure with enqueue, dequeue, and size operations is an idea, not a concrete expression of that idea.

Plus I believe if the Supreme Court upsets 50 years of practice in the industry, they are essentially legislating.

Arguments Against Privacy
1. Give me a while to think about it. I don't use Tox much but I could easily resurrect it (it's installed on this PC but I'd likely create another user account first specifically for the purpose). Tox was only my passing suggestion, other peer-to-peer services may be better or have better software (and Tox isn't updated much although it seems to work reasonably well). Therefore, it would be interesting to hear what others have to recommend.

2. Re comment about IQ etc. I cannot paraphrase this or give an adequate reply here without sounding pompous and elitist (which I reckon I'm not); to do so would take me many pages to ensure anything I said wasn't misinterpreted or could be easily taken out of context. Nevertheless, at the risk of using a now overly hackneyed reference together with insufficient supporting argument, what I will say is that for many who I've encountered the Dunning-Kruger effect is very evident.

I've some quite intelligent friends and acquaintances with whom I just cannot discuss certain subjects because their views and beliefs about them are so locked-in that they consider them inviolate—even though their views about said matters are clearly wrong. Discussing these matters with them is clearly a waste of time. These days, the tragedy is that so few are taught argument and formal logic when they're young enough so as to get into the habit of regularly questioning and testing their beliefs with others and against external evidence. If anything, I'm too much the opposite, I overly question my stance or beliefs on too many things and that too can be a hindrance.

Excluding people from a discussion because their views are wrong or they're cognitively inflexible is both a delicate and complex problem, especially so if one believes that everyone deserves a fair hearing (which is essentially what I believe). One of the problems that we have these days is that many believe they are not listened to by elites/governments etc. and I reckon this is true. The trouble is that the internet and social media have made matters worse so how one develops channels of communication among like-minded people and not be seen as elitist, thus exacerbating the matter is a delicate problem, and I'm not sure I've an answer that's better than anyone else.

What I've said above is somewhat clumsy, which is what happens when one tries to oversimplify an argument, nevertheless you'll get the gist of what I mean.

3. For various reasons, I've not much time to devote to such things nor am I all that regular as a correspondent but that could also be said about many. It's why discussions groups should be as wide and flexible as is practicable but still be kept strictly on topic. That's why a good but fair moderator is needed.

Constraints can actually breed creativity, though you might be asking a slightly different question.

I often wonder if some of the simplifications we commonly teach do more harm than good. "Small thing orbits big thing" is one of them, "a thrown ball follows a parabola" is another one (it's true on a flat earth, but in reality you launch the ball into a highly elliptical orbit that just happens to intersect earth's surface after a few meters).

These simplifications are often conceptually not that much simpler, they just have much simpler math. But saying "x is what's happening, but in these circumstances we can treat it as y" is an important skill in science and life, we should teach it more (and benefit from fewer misunderstandings caused by teaching only the simplification)
I didn't look into this in particular but my impression from reading the literature is that this makes zero sense.
Your analogy is false. Google didn't copy the whole thing; they copied the API. THat's analogous to copying the chapter titles but not the chapter contents, far more than it is analogous to copying the whole book.
I think the utility-based approach overlooks an important point: semantic class names are useful for a lot of things besides writing your styles.

"Codeless tracking" systems let you put in the CSS selector for a button and find out how many people clicked on it. UI test automation tools let you specify the CSS selector of an element to click on. User stylesheets let people make tweaks to your site if they have accessibility, usability, or aesthetic concerns.

If all your elements have class names like "mt-2 bg-black font-semibold text-white pt-2 pb-3 flex justify-left", you're making it a lot harder for you, your users, and your co-workers to take advantage of this ecosystem. At the very least, you might want to consider also putting semantic classes on your elements.
Cross compiling is a lot more difficult to set up. Emulation let's you use much of the target system's tools as is. Cross compiling means you have to build all of those tools for the host system.

For example, with the RaspberryPi I can grab a Raspbain image, add binfmt and qemu on my host and with a few small changes to the image chroot in to a ready made build environment for the Pi that's faster and more convenient than compiling on the Pi. Setting up a cross compile environment for the Pi is much harder.

Docker is totally unnecessary BTW.

That’s exactly how many back end payment processors work in Canada. Banks would even rather pay a third party to handle things like (what we have called) Interac email money transfers than do the work in house as it saves on large amounts of overhead, administrative and insurance costs.

I think you have a very specific, and not widely shared, definition of “code as art.” Code as art does not mean code full of pointless Rube Goldberg mechanisms or following some esoteric golden ratio whatever. For me, “code as art” means code which is well-abstracted, readable, correct, concise, maintainable, extensible, well-documented, performant, etc — I.e. reflecting the things that matter to me as a developer. The process of getting to the point where the code has all of those things, or as many as possible, is indeed the “art” of coding. To assume that the result is some horrible morass of spaghetti that no coworker wants to read is a strange one for sure.

> make you use a payment method that is inconvenient for you, such as mailing an actual check once a month,

This is really the biggest challenge facing borrowers. The means of payment should really be locked in. Fortunately the servicer doesn’t always change too, but that is something that the law should probably protect.

I could imagine the law requiring the consent of the borrower to the transfer of servicer, or some similar mechanism.

Analytic number theorist here. I can answer your question.

The method doesn't really yield "exactly 70,000,000". If you traced through his method, and worked out each step in more detail, you'd probably get a bound of (say) 64,189,288 -- or some random number of like that. If you read through it still more carefully, and tried to introduce genuine improvements, you'd improve this further.

Indeed, the bound has been improved to 246. You can see the(long!) proof here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/85pt6mvzf5ghukw/newergap-submitted...

Zhang stated 70 million because it's easy to remember.

Anyway, the basic strategy of the proof is to attempt to prove the twin prime conjecture, and not fall too short.

Where do these numbers come from? You end up needing to do lots of random computations in the course of the proof. For example, can you compute a constant C such that the bound

e^(.1x^2 + .4x) + 5cos(pi * x) - sqrt(x^2 + 1) < Cx + 4

holds for all x between 3 and 5? If this appeared in the course of an analytic number theory proof, you probably wouldn't try to compute the absolute best value C. It would be tedious and boring, and nobody would want to read it. You'd just compute something that was good enough, and move on.
