In my opinion, the new design doc clearly characterizes this as a design goal of the parser, rather than a hard constraint that cannot be resolved.

"Resolving that requires effectively unbounded lookahead. In general we strive to keep the Go parser simple."

It's totally fair to question the tradeoff - should having a simple parser outweigh the potential ergonomic benefit of <>? I don't know. The forum for this is probably the golang-nuts group.

Also, even cable is capable of Gigabit speeds. I briefly had 1.2Gbps via cable, downgraded to 400Mbps as it became cheaper.
Note that although Panasonic is technically building them, they are doing so inside the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada. Panasonic wasn't able to deliver the gains that Tesla wanted which strained the relationship and led to Tesla's decision to manufacture cells independently.

It depends on which country really. In some places in Europe it became almost impossible to do that (sadly).

I mean, they used to be about the only game in town. Now you have monsters like MS and Google and Apple in the game. Cloud storage used to be value in and of itself, that's less so the case now, especially when there isn't system integration the way there is with OneDrive, GDrive or iCloud.

Google's offer of free 15GB is also pretty ridiculously generous compared to the competition (Dropbox 2GB, OneDrive/iCloud 5GB). MS and Apple have some ecosystem stuff to drive sales, but Dropbox, eh...
I don't see that as an issue. It will get cached and it's the same difference as having a medium sized, well compressed image. Almost inconsequential when you consider you'll never have to write any more lines of CSS.

Don't get so hung up on the size of the CSS when it's relatively tiny compared to images.
Ask HN: How do I get into implemention enginering or Technology evangalism
Hello there HN readers.

I am a senior software engineer who is really getting borderline depressed with the repetitiveness of my current job.

I really enjoy working with the latest and greatest technologies and showing other's the ropes. How and where do you find these kinds of jobs where you work with clients or possibly run training seminars,workshops or conferences for newer technologies.

If you are already in this kind of role and came from a development role how did you get the job?
Computer science has the term “first-class citizen”. Should this be changed?
“Drugs” aren’t exclusively from Mexico. The DEA’s remit includes domestic production.

You’re correct in that strong demand for illegal drugs imported from Mexico fuels gang violence - but the DEA would prosecute me regardless of whether or not my hypothetical cannabis was ethically sourced, home-grown, or was the product of cartel wars, exploited workers, and gang violence.

I don’t believe there is any argument to be had in good-faith to advocate for the punishment for the possession, personal-use, and personal-production of drugs to be worse than the effect of the drug itself. This is what we mean when we talk about the DEA pursuing victimless crimes.

Note that I’m not at all saying that dealers who push addictive substances should be allowed to operate: by all means go after opiates’ supply-chain (and we can start with Perdue’s executives!) but it’s senseless to have the laws against cannabis, LSD, et cetera that we have today, especially when alcohol and tobacco are legal. I’d rather we banned alcohol and had state-licensed LSD counters in supermarkets...

Remember, “drugs” are not a monolithic social-ill and it’s dangerously ignorant to lump entirely different substances together, label them broadly as “drugs” and suggest they’re all equally bad while giving alcohol and tobacco a free-pass - because this leads to horribly misguided social policymaking and damages the credibility of those in-charge. I wouldn’t have a problem with the DEA if they left individuals alone, and employed more social-workers than Hank Schrader-types.

It’s maddening how few departments in the US gov (or any country’s gov, really) have evidence-based policymaking as an organisational pillar.

Ask HN: What's broken about the internet?
I've been interacting with a group of interesting people through the Mozilla Builders / Fix-The-Internet project. A lot of great project ideas going on there. There's talk of making Web 3.0. Interesting stuff.. but, I'm curious, what's broken about the internet, the web and tech? If we're going to fix something it seems good to have a list of what we're trying to fix. So what do you see as being broken? Let's build a list I can take back to the group looking to fix things!

I recently bought a 2015 27” 5K (5120x2880) iMac core i5 for cheap, put in an SSD, and upped the RAM to 24 GB. It handles everything I can throw at it as a developer (albeit not a game developer, just “full stack” web/java/node/k8s) and the screen is just incredible.

The SSD upgrade is not for the faint hearted, however. I used the iFixit kit with the provided “tools”, and lifting off 27” of extremely expensive and heavy glass that sounded like it might crack at any moment was not exactly fun. Having said that - I would do it again in a heartbeat to get another computer/display like this for the price I paid.

With regards to scaling: I have had zero problems with either my rMBP (since 2013) or this iMac, when in macOS running at high resolution. Zero. As soon as I boot Windows or Linux, however, it’s basically unusable unless I turn the resolution down.
I have to say—while I consider Apple's practices terribly anti-competitive and user-hostile, and I want to applaud anyone who makes a stink about them... I feel quite uncomfortable about this being the poster child.
It doesn’t automatically make everything secure, but it’s still a prerequisite for a trusted secure thing.

Possibly a high percentage but there are a lot of use cases that electric cars don't cover. No electric sales has a very high bar even if it's mostly pickups and big SUVs/vans.
That's a funny hack. However, this looks like conflicting advice:

"Only the passenger should retain the key or combination to the lock unless TSA personnel request the key to open the firearm container to ensure compliance with TSA regulations. You may use any brand or type of lock to secure your firearm case, including TSA-recognized locks."

If you use a TSA lock, that means they have a key to open up the case and access the firearm without you around. That's a big no-no and could result in problems with the law.

You'd also probably want to show up an extra hour early because this could cause long delays. Some airports are notorious for workers who don't know the regulations, don't want to be responsible for any of it, and will refuse to do anything to help you resolve the situation. Also, definitely don't try this if you're flying through New York or New Jersey.
Compare:

1. Zoom: is actively lying right now, has lied in the past, and has had numerous security breaches which were easily avoidable.

2. Team.video: This Doug W. Brunton fellow may be lying, but at least is not currently taking an opportunity to lie, and seems to have a decent grasp of the tradeoffs involved in end-to-end versus point-to-point.
Yes it's obvious. No one should think that any very large company is controlled by one person.

So even though it might seem as a bad move, it's more likely a sales person 'down in EPG that had a good idea, and pitced it'.

Whatever happened to Go to meeting? Why did they fail to adapt?
It's a commitment. It is not action, but that's not a flaw. They serve two different purposes.

Commitments are how companies orient themselves to the future while leaving open the possibility that things might change. They give people a frame to be critical of or complementary towards future actions. I see many comments on HN saying we should not critique company Y for thing A because company Y is in the business of doing B, not A.

This is Lyft saying they are in the business of doing electric cars. It's ambiguous and uncertain what that means now, but is a theme to compare future actions against.

To look back to a previous instance: when Google set "don't be evil" as their slogan, they suggested that they were interested in ethical critiques. I think experience has shown them to both consistently fall short of that slogan and also be more responsive to ethical critiques than, say, Palantir or Facebook. I would expect this Lyft statement to play out similarly.

I'm not excited by this statement, but it's not nothing.
I think the biggest difference is that Zoom's implementation will be opaque, and Jitsi (and mediasoup's, etc.) will not be.

I had to use 4k@30 Hz for the past week (waiting on a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to replace HDMI) and actually gotten used to it. Turning off animations and smooth scrolling helps.

I think we see the problem here. I've been using C on and off (granted, never formally educated in it) for 20 years now and I don't know the difference.
Zoom isn't an end. That's not what "end" means in the context of "end to end".
Without Section 230, if I host a unmoderated social network, could I face liability if one person libeled another using my website? My understanding was yes, but your comment suggests otherwise.
I desperately want to use the new iPad Magic Keyboard with my iMac.

I LOVE the trackpad & keyboard combo on my MacBookPro. For a while, I was using Teleport to use my laptop as the input device for my iMac.

I do occasionally use the Magic Mouse for drawing (direct manipulation) tasks.
>How do you manage multiple monitors with MacOS? I was doing this until recently and every single login involved rearranging my windows because MacOS moves them all to whatever display woke up first.

At least for apps that are dedicated to one screen + virtual desktop, right click its icon in the dock and assign it to that display and workspace.

Note that the effectiveness of window restoration also depends on the make/model of your monitors – many manufacturers incorrectly share EDID's across all units of the same model and sometimes across multiple models, making it much more difficult for operating systems to uniquely identify them.
> And in the browsers, you rarely do heavy processing. If you are, you're doing it wrong - that logic needs to live on the server.

This is very incorrect. At my last company we had a React interface (a specialized IDE, really) that needed to juggle (sort, filter, process) and work with sometimes hundreds of thousands of entities at once, all in-memory. JavaScript did this just fine, and the user experience (and the API design) really benefitted from not having a bunch of extra round-trips to the server.

Even in this extreme use-case, the bottleneck was always the few-hundred items that were actually rendered in the DOM at a time. We virtually never had performance problems from sheer volume of underlying data.
This sounds like a better idea than flying with AR-15 parts. Less likely to scare people, and less likely to raise flags or get put on some list.
For #3, the creator of the i3 window manager is using the 8k monitor mentioned in the article I am pretty sure this is possible.

It's all a matter of where you accept the complexity - in the compiler, in the language, or in the downstream applications. In my view it's an obvious choice to choose a more complicated compiler on exchange for simpler downstream applications...
We need to stop calling them "Android" phones and call them GMS (Google Mobile Services) phones in recognition of the fact that so many core services and abilities of "Android" phones are being handled in the closed-source, proprietary GMS and very little of the functionality of the phones are handled by the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) portion of the system anymore.

My friend... Tucker Carlson was the most watched news anchor in all of America last week. It is apparent that a good portion of the population doesn't find Facebook's decision to allow free speech at all objectionable.

Have you considered that the reason why most people are okay with Facebook not punishing president Trump is because many people agree with him? Have you considered that -- facebook having more active users than twitter -- that facebook is more representative of the United states than your feelings?

Twitter is known to be mainly popular among the media, who -- shock and surprise -- don't like trump and lean liberal. Facebook is popular amongst the rest of us. Is it possible in your worldview that other people may not think like you?
Used to be in the oil and gas space. One of the biggest issues with orphaned wells is that local enforcement is so comically lax.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/11/orphaned-oil-wells-...

For example, the article says PA has 200k abandoned wells, but the number is likely 500k-750k, according to Mary Kang's work.
https://www.pnas.org/content/113/48/13636

Why you ask? There is NO required security for unconventional wells (most wells on the Marcellus) and only $25k required as a blanket security. You bet that that's going to be factored into the P/L. Abandoned wells are defined by the fact that there is no existing LLC left on the title.

http://iogcc.ok.gov/Websites/iogcc/images/Publications/2019%...

>"The average cost per well ranged from $3,700 to $101,000, with most in the $10,000 to $80,000 range. The overall average for the states is $18,940."

What if you own a bunch of stripper wells like in PA? Well when they only produce <15bbl a day each for a short life time, why bother when you can dissolve eventually and start anew? If the PA DEP's permit surcharge is only $50-200, do you really think they'll make any progress?

As a historical note, the actual Apollo project to the moon cost $25.4 billion dollars, which corresponds to over $150 billion in current dollars. So this funding is about 4 orders of magnitude short of the real moonshot. (This is not meant as a criticism of Apollo Projects, but just to put things in scale.)
Ford releasing comprehensive dataset to promote autonomous R&D
I encountered similar confusion in faculty members as an undergraduate.

To resubmit what I wrote in a comment below:

It's confusing that we use 'refer to' in two different senses. In Java, a reference-type variable 'refers to' an instance, but overwriting the variable does not impact the referred-to entity. In pass-by-reference, a parameter 'refers to' a variable, and overwriting does impact the referred-to entity. Perhaps we should instead say that in Java, a reference-type variable 'points to' an instance.
jitsi works wonderfully.

I've also have been using Discord for voice almost daily for a little over a year and it just works 99% of the time. Unfortunately, it suffers from "gamer" branding that makes it awkward suggesting for work. They should try offering a "business skin" that interops with discord.
Pretty much everything is politics these days. That's the unfortunate truth. We can't even distinguish personal and non-personal that easily any more. Even filtering by status updates and photos won't help. Status updates can be political speech (may or may not call out someone by name or ideology), photos could be your friend holding a placard or a meme. Things as simple as wearing/not-wearing a mask is political now. In an alternate world, that would be classified under health. At least for me, that's upsetting that we are debating this. And it doesn't end there - how many of us have felt a tinge of jealousy when a friend posts that beautiful picture of a barn in the middle of Montana while you're slugging away on your computer? That's not healthy either. I have come to peace that I'll text my friends directly and that's it. Once a month or so I log on to facebook and comment on personal updates. Instagram & Reddit is what I can't quit yet. Sometimes I do need that mind numbing feed scrolling time. Otherwise, I actually call/text and talk to friends and family. Granted who I call family and friends is very limited.

TBC, these are my personal opinions and how you view and use social media could be different. It's clearly not for me anymore.
Perhaps the most important line from the article:

> The Justice Department proposal is a legislative plan that would have to be adopted by Congress.
Basically if you try to open a farm and a store to grow and distribute these substances, then a group of armed thugs show up and burn your products and (at best) kidnap you and lock you up. Amazingly, this group of drug lord enforcers is actually the US Government.

The problems you are describing are not a result of paying money to someone for drugs. The problems you are describing are a result of that person then having to pass that down the line to actively violent criminals, because another group of violent aggressors works to enforce their monopoly (the DEA etc). And why does "Law Enforcement" do this? Because it means they can murder black people with impunity. It means the people behind the DEA can scare white people into voting a certain way.

It's is really high time that we see that government is not full of people trying to do the right thing. Blatant racism is systemic. The war on drugs is part of that system. And is only part of that system. It is not that the government is full of otherwise good people who happen to be racist. The government is full of sociopaths and bullies.

If "these truths" were self-evident, why does the constitution not apply to non citizens? Why do government paid lawyers argue that waterboarding is not torture and is legal, as long as the victim is not a US Citizen?

Despite its great declaration of independence, the people that the people put in charge, are great at ruling us by dividing us up and creating differences.
I find myself agreeing with most of your points. I mainly took issue with taking a shortcut from "being born and raised in China" to being a hostile Chinese agent (and we don't even know if the CEO has relatives in China that can be leveraged anyway).
Also re stress, play correspondence - 1 or 2 days per move, you can of course play faster, but playing a lot slower I've found to be fun. I try to keep 3-4 games going at a time, but I've had up to 10 at a time. And I've played guys who have almost 50 games at a time going.
