I was really thinking about the problem described by GP. But in any case:

- Type safe enumerations
- Generics (lets see if flyweight design actually makes it)

I'll give you both those. Generics would be the killer feature for me.

- package names that don't depend on source locations

Java package structure mirrors the file system, no?

- binary packages for proper encapsulation and even faster builds

Go package binaries are cached after build. In any case, build speed is rarely an issue for Go.

- both points together allow for components eco-system to thrive

One of the most impressive thing about Go IMO is the speed at which the ecosystem has grown and is growing.

- more knobs to turn on when performance matters

I have found it takes a lot longer to reach the need for performance knobs in Go than in Java.

- a proper graphical debugging experience

Not sure what you mean by "proper" and why it has to be graphical, but VSCode + Golang extension gives me enough insight into what's going on under the covers at debug time, equivalent to eg Eclipse + Java debugger.

Just for the record, I love Java and have been programming in it for over 20 years. It has many great features and the ecosystem is unsurpassed.

Go is a much more practical language though IMHO. The time to value is much shorter. Setting up a module project is one command. Writing & running tests, complete with coverage and performance, is supported out of the box by the basic "go" command. The standard lib is broad and deep. And as mentioned the ecosystem is growing fast.

I also enjoy (require) my morning walk. 4.5 km through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. I do my best problem-solving whilst walking, and I know I am not the only one. Check out this excellent site on the habits of creative people: https://dailyroutines.typepad.com (now a book at https://amzn.to/2Pb4bJB).

Waking in HCM can be hardcore. I always travel with a shirt to change into when I arrive, and go through several pairs of boots per year.

I guess there was a misunderstanding.

Have a nice evening.
Yes. Even though our 17-month old has run of the place in a safe space, it only takes 5-10 minutes of no attention for him to come running up and trying to pull me somewhere. As above, this makes any sort of focus impossible.
Well, if the system resolver is doing DNSSEC validation, the browser doesn't need to support it. That's how I've had my system set up for years. Unfortunately, macOS and Windows (other than Server) still don't have any DNSSEC support as far as I'm aware. Support is built in to systemd-resolved now though, which I believe is the default resolver on various Linuxes, and unbound is of course available in all major distros.
Really? Here in Norway children would only be vaccinated against influenza if they already have other severe conditions such as diabetes, chronic heart or lung disease, etc.
I was talking about Belgium (note how that site is in Dutch and the number of 6 million approx. matches the number of people speaking Dutch in Belgium, while it doesn't match the number of people speaking Dutch in the Netherlands at all).
The fastest way to memcpy by far on a Z80 is to point the stack register at your data and PUSH/POP the registers onto it. Many games used this (e.g. see 'Cobra', 1986)

I don't understand why you decided to respond to an almost-dead comment when the top-voted comment thread shows the same technopessimism.
Completely agree about Electron - it's really heavy. That's why we built Fig as a Swift app.

Also, just to clarify, Fig isn't a terminal emulator itself. It attaches to whichever one you currently use.
Driving kills 38,000 people/year in the US. Covid-19 has killed around 140,000 people. It's the same order of magnitude.
OTOH, if a critical mass of great developers went back to their countries of origin (assuming they want to live there), they would be able to earn US-level salaries there (probably less than what they earn in the US but comparable after subtracting cost of living and taxes). Also taxes would go to their countries as well instead of IRS (not sure if it's good or bad though, depends on the country).
Hi,

Simple and effective API. The documentation lacks details about the query parameter. I want to search for A AND B but q=?A%20B does not yield the expected result (seems a OR query) or for exact phrase "A invests in B" do not seem to work. Can you please post details for advanced syntax like this?
> For New Zealand they have an extremely widely geographically dispersed population

I don't know the answer, but is this actually true? Sure, the density as measured as a ratio between population and land mass indicates a dispersed population, but is the population not centered in a handful of cities?

A quick search indicates that Auckland, a single city, contains a third of New Zealand's population.
"about externalities" hence asking if (you now) support socialized medicine. Again, I dont need to make the connection. It's obvious isnt it?

"pointing a gun at people is an apt parallel" parallel to what? Not wearing a fake face mask? The face masks are giving the people that need a real mask[1] a false sense of safety. It's entirely possible, even likely that the effect is negative. Comparing virus transmission to a direct threat to life shows frankly that you are not making a serious argument. Think I'm wrong about that? Why not attach some numbers to your example?

"there were 131,858 pneumonia deaths in 2014-2015 as a way to make it seem like the COVID-19 death count is in line with that?"

Yes. Ignoring the over-counting, it's roughly 2x a normal flu. Note you dont even try to get a # for non-covid flu/pneumonia for the pandemic part of 2019/2020. It's a glaring omission, I pointed it out in my first comment (and many before that) because, nobody will do it. Why is that?

"With that, the disease would have a fatality rate of 133K/15M, which is 0.89%."

Yep. But it's even lower. The error bars on your estimate are easily >20%[2]. People have pre-exising antibodies. Why ignore that video I posted? Or my comment that "The only real measure is excess deaths"?

Why are we not talking about excess deaths? Are you going to argue that all COVID-19 deaths are because of the virus? It's clearly not true, and that is officially acked. I posed that explanation, it's common knowledge.

"how insanely infectious this disease is (where any reasonable estimate would have this thing going through virtually the entire population without extreme social distancing)."

We flattened the curve. I assume agree. Germany is the only country that comes close to our death stats. Now you are going to claim that the virus isnt going to infect most people?

1.78M deaths! Seriously, someone should make a list of forum COVID-19 death predictions.

These predictions of millions dead are 100% incorrect, but some people keep making them. It's not established that anything we did significantly changed the outcome, certainly not using fake masks. There is even a country where the masks were banned.

"no offense"

None taken, it's pretty common to try and label people. If the socialists get their way, we can label everything a negative externality, cant we?

----Why not use the masks forever?----

The blog post is famous in technical circles. I’ve seen it cited about as much as some of Joel Spolsky’s most famous posts.
The first image people are greeted with in the article says everything needed about the editorial nature of the article. It is:

It is taken of the area which has one of the lowest covid-19 death rates. Compared to its nearby city in Denmark it even has a significant lower rate of deaths.

It is taken over the wrong time period. Both nationally and locally in that area, the death rate is going down. The image is from a few weeks ago during the warm weather when the rate was almost the lowest point of the whole measure period of the pandemic. The trend in that region is still downwards.

It is the wrong demographic when talking about death counts. In Sweden the wast majority that died occurred in elderly care homes in low social economical areas, not young people on the beach located near expensive and hip restaurants in the second highest social economic area.

But it makes for a great narrative tool, which illustrates the editorial values of NYT.
Every bug ever was a computer program that did exactly what the programmer told the computer to do but not what was intended. I'd like to meet the guy or girl that never coded up something with a bug, even the greats mess up.

Donald Knuth famously wrote: "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.", see also: the doctrine of testing.
> I think this is a common viewpoint, and a misconception.

Probably a common viewpoint, but definitely not a misconception.

I have had freshers tell me wrong answers which they know they are answering wrong with so much confidence. And you keep digging them on their answer and they would keep coming up with even more wrong stuff.

It would probably be about 2 or 3 out of 10 freshers who can say "i don't know that".
I mostly agree on your thinking but I think it is not so simple to decide.

If we focus on reinforce vs question part. It is kind of prisoners dilemma. If we assume governments(reinforcers) will anyway work on this technology, and lets assume they will end up with some lower quality version (lets say 50/100) . Questioners have 2 options:

- dont work on this, accept 50/0

- or work and improve both sides, 70/20

Without deeper context hard to decide which will be better for questioners.

Would you prefer to have a gun against rifle, or no weapon vs gun?

>but in the case of CV, it is quite clear who will benefit: those in power, those who need to quantify, control and punish the human element, but don't have the manpower (=legitimacy?) or funds (=priority?) to do so manually.

Technology that exists for surveillance can also be turned on the surveillants. The most relevant case probably being police abuse being caught on smartphone cameras. These tools don't just discipline citizens, they also discipline the police. If I'm in a room with someone in a position of authority far above me, I'd rather have the camera on both of us than none of us.

So it's not actually that simple, and I don't see opting out as realistic or helpful, because other benefits these technologies bring, for example security, will always convince the population to drive adoption forward.
A variant of this I heard a bit ago is “coherent but wrong”, where the solution is self consistent, misses the target, and is hard to modify because all of the bad decisions support each other.

To fix it takes a ton of patience and some specialized skills. Everything turns into yak shaving, and if the perpetrators or their accomplices are still committing enough code, they may be able to keep pace with attempts to unravel.

Truth is only important to us as long as it contributes positively to our well-being. This sort of mushrooms is edible and this one is poisonous - everyone would agree on that.
As far as more abstract truths are concerned: people believed for centuries that the Earth is flat. Many still do. If you said otherwise, society would probably burn you for heresy, so the cost of truth was hugely negative.

Emphasis strongly on the "may" - we've seen how well that worked in Australia, which is now having to gradually impose lockdowns.
Fair comment I can see where you're coming from in terms of humility and bias. Again I can only talk from personal experience but I notice this also from self assessment exercises in performance reviews. Humility aside the more senior developers (in my opinion) are more able to accurately gauge their strengths and shortcomings. And I can't help but wonder if these skills are part of what help them develop from junior/mid to senior.

> I see more of this in society in general now, where with so much data and analytics there is a rush to "measure" everything. But I think it's important to acknowledge what is lost when "subjective" becomes a dirty word.

You may measure as long as you accept the limitations associated with the measure. Measures are man-made. Hence, subject to interpretation. You add that as a † next to the measure and accept the implications of using that as a measure. There's no perfect measure. There are only options and implications.
Here are some things i'm thinking carefully about at the moment

Combination of:
1) Really thinking about what i value in life (and its monetary cost)
2) Index funds and living cost efficiently (Learning the type of risk here is important - i.e. volatility risk)

This is nothing new to many, but to me it was a revelation. When you start plugging numbers into a calculator as opportunity costs of current purchasing decisions the numbers are incredible.
Ben felix - youtube (9/10)
Mr money mustache - blog (7/10) - imperfect but useful for putting things in context

The rates are debatable but often 7% yearly is quoted.
Example, instead of buying a 40,000 car, put it in stock market for 30 years and get just 6% return you've got 229,000. Thats a large percentage of retirement for simply deciding not to buy a new car

To me this seems like a cheat code for turning the difficulty down on life. We've got enough things to worry about other than personal finance.

I personally feel strongly about this, some might disagree:
News.
Have a look here:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/529060/uk-newspaper-mark...

Something like 70% of the uk new market is owned by 3 papers or something like that.

There is no historical precedent other than the media industry, which uses the copyright system for an entirely different purpose: to milk as much as possible out of a single investment in time and effort, usually by someone else than the original creator.

The whole thing revolves around the marginal cost of an extra copy of a piece of software being close to zero, no other critical industry gets such economies of scale. Making more chips still requires huge capex and opex.
It's not so simple. Governments run huge deficits and debt is the primary means of funding. Taxes are more of an inflation guard.

Having both provides a smooth skill ramp for users. They can start using the GUI and over time they learn the analogous command line interface.

A GUI is also superior for discoverability compared to a command line interface even for experienced users.

This is common in archaeological and historical anthropological circles, where they're discussing time frames and historical eras where the distinction between Europe and Asia doesn't really matter. Populations, cultures and genetic groups ranged across the land mass freely so distinguishing them all the time would just be really awkward. There's no significant topological border and so the distinction just isn't useful in this context.

When you have one child you give them all your attention. When you have two you divide it.

When you have one, maybe it take 5 minutes to change a nappy, then you play for 10 minutes after. When you have two, you then have 10 minutes of nappy changing time, then only 5 minutes to play. The time is reallocated, not added to.

> Cost was $3K for gear and food and lodging 6 months I had $1200 left after gear tent,cookware, stove, h20 purification, high end backback, good sleeping bag, good boots, good socks & liners)

Isn't this excluding the opportunity cost of a 6-month vacation? Most people can't afford even a 1-month vacation...

For someone who gets health insurance through work, you're also adding another ~$3k (or they're uninsured, which would be insane when walking the AT).

So I'd figure the minimum cost at more like $40k (for someone who makes $80k/yr) + $3k insurance + gear/lodging/etc., and that's assuming they have a job right when they get back.

The article doesn't spell it out but it says "Several American patients who have had symptoms consistent with the coronavirus, but who have not been tested or are still awaiting test results, described losing their senses of smell and taste, even though their noses were clear and they were not congested."

That means that there's some non-obstructive issue here going on.

In any case, my point was that you were attacking OP while there were a lot of reports on non obstructive loss of smell.

You said it's the first you heard of it, which made me assume you didn't follow any news. Since without any judgment of the validity of these reports, it's normal to assume this is what a normal person has heard in that time.

Now after your second response I have to assume you're just arguing in bad faith. It's not gish gallop to post a time line of reports from March to June.

Do people actually read commit messages? I don't have much experience working on large projects with a larger team, but I keep repositories both for personal things and work so I can look at older versions. I have however never actually looked at my own commit messages, even though I try to keep them informative. I instead search through commits based on strings added/removed or file paths touched.
As such, multiline commit messages (whether added on the command line or via the editor) seem doubly pointless to me.

I would be curious to hear how others view this.
