So the counterargument is hydrocodone. It is legal, and people that would never in their lives think of shooting smack now had doctors, many of whom knew better, prescribing them a highly addictive narcotic in order to get compensated by the manufacturer. Purdue Pharma was a wholly legal cartel with thousands of dealers worldwide moving their product for them.

"Heroin" has a bad name, so your legalized version would have some innocuous made-up marketing name, backed by tens of millions of dollars of advertising and it would sell like hotcakes.
Now, in hindsight, thinking about it:

It might have had to do with:

- Turbo Pascal difficulty in dealing with 32-bits x86. Turbo C++ had different memory models (but I think it was still on the 640k limit) and then DJGPP came with protected memory

Ok then we got Delphi. But to talk to Windows you needed the C/C++ interface. And don't get me wrong, Borland C++ libraries were much, much better than the MS VC 6.0 MFC. Really.

But for the times where you needed a "direct line" with Windows, C was the way to go, so maybe that was it.

> But Blacks weren’t part of the design process, and the memorial’s central visual takeaway — a Black man kneeling before his white savior — has had people cringing for years.

They paid for it, but didn't get to have input on how it'd look. Seems like the precise sort of thing folks are upset about.

Rushmore was a treaty violation from the very beginning, and Native Americans occupied it as far back as 1971 in protest.
> I had relatives murdered in the Alamo. Should the Mexican flag get banned because I'm offended by it?

The Alamo battle was fought because your Texian relatives revolted against Mexico's abolishment of slavery.

You mean the ones where he's shown as west-european white? I suppose we could bother thinking about why he looks like that in those portrayals when he definitely wouldn't have in real life.
I think you are really getting at a very American thing that happened. Fast Food implies that it is food, but it’s certainly not nutritious food. We didn’t eat a lot of fast food growing up because we were poor, so it was a lot of casseroles or other items that had a lot of whatever we had around mixed together. High processed items are very easy to get a hold of and keep long, but what people don’t realize is that rice and beans and other dry items keep for a long time and are not expensive. So I guess what I’m getting at is that with the move to Fast Food in the US people stopped cooking. Maybe we think it’s hard, maybe we’re just lazy. I’ve really taken a look at my diet and it saves a lot of money to just cook at home (something I’ve really noticed during this social distancing) and it’s not hard. But it’s not like my parents really showed me how, I had to learn on my own. I hope fast food is a casualty of pandemic but we need to find work for those people.
And the poor children need to be held, and feel the warm embrace of another human being (hopefully their parents), but because of concerns around machinery and sanitation it's still very difficult to make that happen.

Because half of your point is nonsensical without that stretch of the meaning in regards to VMs.

Go programs do not run on a VM. They run on a specific CPU architecture, and specific OS. You would need an actual VM to run the same program on something different. That is unlike Java which on its own is a VM to run programs on.

I would argue the other half of your point is nonsensical in the same matter. You just conflated two different definitions of exceptions, which are similar, and have intersections, but not identical.
Can you explain your edit a little more? I still only understand your original viewpoint. Just because there's an app doesn't mean they don't have to contact DDG servers at all, right?

I've never reviewed such a change. If I saw it I guess it would be one of the rare cases where rather than either writing LGTM or asking some questions and giving approval conditional on getting acceptable answers (or revised code that obviates the questions), I would just press "Reject".

If people are going to be allowed to meddle with security critical code with no effective oversight you're already dead you just didn't know it yet. They can go modify the password checking code to return true because that seems to "work better" and if nobody rejects that you no longer have password authentication.

There was hatred for sure, but also the fact that the entire southern economy ran on slavery. So there were also economic reasons, but they were based around the free labor provided by slavery.
Some of the bailout loans might break even, but this is only some of what is going on. The paycheck protection loans get forgiven and are essentially just handing out money (with the caveat that it goes to labor costs). We also handed out $210 billion in tax cuts which is just a handout.

On the whole the fed's balance sheet actually went up by 4 trillion dollars during the 2008 recovery [1] even though the loan program was less than 1 trillion. There is a trillion dollars of mortgage backed security purchases there that are a less visible bailout. The fed has already added 2 trillion this time with more to come.

True, and if you think about it, the answer is decidedly ‘yes.’ Humans are capable of building up almost any skill or craft from scratch, from a new language to teaching yourself guitar to independently inventing portions of math.
Googler here. I somewhat agree and have often wondered about perceptions of Go's popularity within Google. It seems like teams at G are much more likely to choose Java or C++ for new projects, at least outside the SRE org. Meanwhile Go's reputation is tightly linked to Google.
End goal? No. The end goal is eliminating oppression, and the ideal is to have strong enough cultural norms around this that specific laws are unnecessary.

A step in the process? Maybe. I don't know if this kind of legal enforcement is the shortest route from here to there in the US. I could be convinced either way.

I remember seeing it a lot with the “digital nomad” scene. People would try some bottom of the barrel business like drop shipping, fail or eke out a living in some much cheaper country, and then realize that most of the money to be made was being a personality and selling guides to other experience-less, aspiring DNs.

Realistically, people who were good at the actual business side wouldn’t give the special sauce away.
It is hard to see how financing a global network of violent and terroristic criminal organizations could ever be a better state of affairs than having more drug addicts. If you then include the massive loss of freedoms imposed on us to fight these organizations, it boggles my mind that anyone can support the war on drugs.

Edit: The answer I guess is that those who have supported the war on drugs had other goals than "reducing the number of addicts". If you look at the history of how the war on drugs has been used by western intelligence agencies to grow their surveillance powers and finance and the fight against left-wing/communist organizations, the real reasons become more clear.

The general advice given is that everyone wants to change their circumstances when they're unhappy but supposedly our circumstances only account for 10% of our happiness with 50% being genetics and 40% behavior. So everyone tells you stop trying to change your circumstances and change your behavior instead. So, the OPs experience 'sadly' doesn't fit the formal recommendation.

I worked at a shop where there was some Ruby code and autoformatting was argued against from one of the senior tech leads because "[ruby] wasn't designed for an autoformatter. go was built that way"

Absolutely blew my mind. I love go fmt, prettier, black, etc and cannot understand why people still love to argue over styling at this point. I get that he was saying the formatter ships with Go but I don't subscribe to the idea that you can't use an opinionated formatter because the language authors didn't make one.
I disagree with the conclusion. Fast food is not actually cheap. If you go to a supermarket and get a bag of rice / lentils, it will be an order of magnitude cheaper, if not more. The problem is 1) culture and 2) taste. Burgers do taste better than lentils.

I think all the prejudice and intolerance in the world is really just bad behavior we need to unlearn and this will be just another tiny little step towards 'detoxifying society'.

'"The word "hunger," the panel stated in its final report, "...should refer to a potential consequence of food insecurity that, because of prolonged, involuntary lack of food, results in discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain that goes beyond the usual uneasy sensation."'

"One in seven households with children were affected by food insecurity in 2018."

"Food insecurity rates are highest for single mother households and households with incomes below poverty line"

"In 2018, 88.9 percent of U.S. households were food secure throughout the year. The remaining 11.1 percent of households were food insecure at least some time during the year, including 4.3 percent (5.6 million households) that had very low food security."

In my experience, Go gives a perception of faster than Java because the GC pause on average is really quick compared to a decently tuned G1 GC.
It really shouldn't need any type annotations. A Hindley-Milner type system would have been more flexible and require no type annotations (as well as far less interface {} and unsafe casts), and still support everything Go has. The language as a whole seems to just commit all of the mistakes of C, except with garbage collection.

The problem is that he’s starting to get involved with other people’s businesses before he even understands how business or startups work. It’s not clear if he’s ever worked at any company other than his own, yet he’s trying to mentor others on how to start and operate businesses. Incubators traditionally trade mentorship and other valuable resources in exchange for equity.

If he’s taking equity (not stated in his post but assumed if he’s operating as an incubator) then it’s right to be more critical about what he’s offering in exchange. University students can be vulnerable to entering into bad equity deals or working arrangements operating under the guise of incubators, accelerators, or angle investors.

Really there just need to be more people involved in open source. The web is being built on the unpaid contributions of a few and when they don’t have time or mess up due to being rushed, piles of things collapse.

I suspect if a human resource audit of open source were done, there would be surprisingly few people involved in the maintenance of these things.

Government only remains "by the people" if the people maintain the ability to exercise effective oversight over it. Speech is an effective means of exercising government oversight, which is why marginally increasing government power to suppress it is so contentious.
Some overlap with Stoicism here. From the Enchiridion of Epictetus:

1. Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.

The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained, unhindered; but those not in our control are weak, slavish, restrained, belonging to others. Remember, then, that if you suppose that things which are slavish by nature are also free, and that what belongs to others is your own, then you will be hindered. You will lament, you will be disturbed, and you will find fault both with gods and men. But if you suppose that only to be your own which is your own, and what belongs to others such as it really is, then no one will ever compel you or restrain you. Further, you will find fault with no one or accuse no one. You will do nothing against your will. No one will hurt you, you will have no enemies, and you not be harmed.

People need groceries even during a depression. Its often said alcohol is recession proof, in fact alcohol sales seem to thrive even during a pandemic.

>Do you think Obama made the right choice to stimulate the economy in 2008? This is exactly the same thing.

Actually Bush took out a Stimulus of ~$800-900B before he left office and then Obama took our another $800-$900B when entering office. And I would say the vast majority of people I speak with would rather have seen the banks fail rather than taxpayers bailing them out (for massive fraud they perpetrated to issue bad loans/mortgages and then package them up and sell them to others knowing they were "toxic assets"). Banks used taxpayer money to buy their competitors to concentrate the market and fund foreclosure litigation to foreclose on the taxpayers that bailed them out. In hindsight most people agree the Bush/Obama bailouts should have gone directly to the homeowners, but it was considered a "moral hazard" encouraging bad behavior in the future, whereas ironically they didn't see the moral hazard in rewarding the banks that bear the most responsibility.

I believe https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23715759 works as a response to your point. In my eyes syntax is the least interesting thing of any language, their semantics are way more important, and quite a bit of syntax ends up being derived from it, and the rest boils down to aesthetics. The syntactic complexity that Rust has is there because it is encoding a lot of information, modulo things like "braces vs whitespace blocks" and "<> vs []" which, again, come down purely to style. Also, having a verbose grammar is useful for tools like the compiler and IDEs because having lots of landmarks in your code aids on error recovery and gleaning intent from not-yet-valid code.
I agree with this opinion, code review burden in Go is so little.

It appears that the .NET Core CLR does perform some rudimentary escape analysis: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/6653
For most of the Western world, if you take the set of all commonly used characters in the language(s) that are widely recognized in each country and form their intersection, you'll have at least the Arabic numerals and plain A-Z.

If SSIDs were restricted to just those characters, it would be fine in the Western World. But of course there is more to the world than the West.

Question: do most or all non-Western languages also have small subsets of characters that would be fine to restrict SSIDs to? For instance, Wikipedia tells me that Persian is written with a 32 character alphabet, and Arabic uses 28 characters for its alphabet.

I'd expect that for every alphabet-based language, there is a similar base set of characters you could reasonably limit SSIDs too, and so avoid all the problems you get with allowing full Unicode.

How about the languages that use logographic writing systems, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese? Do they all have reasonable (albeit probably very large) subsets SSIDs could be limited to that would avoid all their weird stuff that can happen in Unicode but still allow most reasonable names to be used?
While I try to sympathize, I'm not entirely sure I see what you mean. Neither the research linked in the submission nor anything that I linked to discusses data collection, unless I'm grossly misunderstanding you.

As for the things I linked, none of them are reviews. The first link is a ministry report from last year that outlines 25 shortcomings of the system and how to address them — a clear example that there's open discussion about any problems the current system has. The second and third links are national news coverage that clearly show articles from both pro and con sides. The last link is about the current government in general.
This is of course an interesting idea, but it has a number of huge technical hurdles to overcome. Here is the biggest:

Right now, if you want to become an editor of Wikipedia, you simply need to have a passing familiarity with wikitext, and how the syntax of wikitext translates into the final presentation of the article.

However, if you want to become an editor of Abstract Wikipedia, you'd need to have an in-depth knowledge of lambda calculus, and possibly a Ph.D. in linguistics. Without a quantum leap in editing technology and accessibility for beginners, there's little hope for this to gain any traction.
I've heard a lot of young people in my country saying "you have freedom of speech, you can say what you want, but then you will face the consequences".

So is the IRS, Department of Defense, etc.

Of course there are lots of problems, but the U.S. Federal Government has plenty of agencies able to competently perform some sort of study.
