> At my company we use it and there's a timeline to shut down Skype for Business in favour of it.

That's not because your company loves it, it's because Microsoft is starting to discontinue some versions of Skype for Business and forcing everyone over to Teams.
That's true, but Google is big and they use many languages, and the amount of ignorance needed to make Go cannot be explained by that alone.
The main thing is that if Dark is it's own language, that we're freed of the legacy of whatever other language we might use, and can design something that's explicitly for our use case.

As an example, Dark has "live values" which is where at any point in your program, we show you the actual value for the expression you're on. We use "traces" for this, which means the input (usually a HTTP request) as well as saved results of every expressions.

To accomplish this, we need a language where we can mark which functions are pure, where we can instrument the runtime, and where we can play the runtime back in our editor, filling in the saved trace values.

So nothing wrong with python, but it doesn't have any of those properties.

Similarly, we want your program to deploy instantly. That means that we need a technical way to deploy in 50ms (not sure that's available in python), but we also need language features that support that (such as feature flags built in, and the ability to safely make changes to programs). Otherwise, you'd find it's super easy to break your program with a typo.

This stuff is plausible in Python and many other languages, but seems super difficult.
In my opinion, that software is spaghetti code and barely functions when it's actually running. I tried it for a while, but gave up because it constantly lost the stream. I had to go to super low res for 3 cameras with a very low bitrate to make it run stable. I'm surprised someone like ubiquiti doesn't come out with an NVR with object detection built in.

My lower bound for huge files is 4GiB. The actual use case that started the development of hexpeek was trying to surgically inspect and modify disparate parts of a 100GiB file. I'm not sure if your executable was that large.

No business can survive under those conditions and that is not a valid critique of their viability under a range of ordinary conditions.

Tax payer do own businesses due process under law and a respect for private property rights. In America, the government can’t seize a business without compensation. Mandatory shut downs, in the absence of financial assistance, is arguably a “taking” under the constitution and a violation of basic inalienable rights we as citizens each have.

As far as 25% being spend on other things. It’s kind of pointless to pay employees but not pay rent, get evicted, and have no place for them to go...kind of defeats the point. A restaurant kind of needs its physical location to operate and offer people jobs.

This isn’t about “funneling funds to individuals” that’s what unemployment insurance and stimulus checks were for. This was also about saving businesses so we don’t enter a depression.

It seems reasonable to say that Amy Cooper was being bigoted, but I'm not sure how that relates to the OP's saying that everyone who happens to self-identify as white should be doing penance for somehow "benefiting" from a grossly unfair system.

FWIW, speaking from memory, if QPX, Google's (previously ITA's) low airfare search engine, is any indication, then the lack of any real mention is not surprising because QPX did not make use of parallelization or concurrency. The way it was written made that move very difficult. From what I recall, there was interest in parallelizing some bits of the computation, but I don't recall it ever really going anywhere. (QRES, ITA's reservation system, which was also written in Common Lisp, may have made use of concurrency or parallelization in some way, but my knowledge of that system is limited.)

N.b., QPX did not quite follow all of these recommended practices during my tenure (e.g., ubiquitous SETFing of object slots).
I grew up in a very religious family. It was funny how you could get ostracized from the community for not following the guidelines. This really (REALLY) depended on the individual communities more so than say the religion and the relative power of that religion in that area. (EDIT: from my experience with 4 christian based religions.) For example, in Utah, not being Mormon or even being found out to consume caffeine could get you in all sorts of hot water.

What I from the left has similarities to the religious fervor of my youth. You either believe and are part of the solution. To do that you have to convert everyone, and if you aren't with us then you're against us. It might be that it just evokes a similar emotional response to me as being on the "outs" with my childhood faith.

Many people want to have faith in something. We've torn down religion as fairly corrupt, government has been likewise torn down for many people. Now we have massive leaderless movements that offer the same sort of thing.

My issue with this movement, is it's amplified the worst of our human nature by having social media (which I recognize I'm consuming right now). If you don't want global censoring of opposing ideas we need to have a better way of performing human interactions online. We need more humanization of people through technology not the dehumanization of people through technology.
Peer to peer video streaming on top of bittorrent has already existed multiple times and it has worked well at scale. It's just that there wasn't centralized control and monetization of it so each time it was shut down by the legal authorities.

The problem is not technical. It's legal.
That's great to hear. For a second, i was worried that i will fall behind because i don't have any tech experience. Just recently, i was able to get an overview of what a PM role is like within the company i work for. Definitely looking forward to learn more about it so i share my experience here in HN.

That doesn't work if you want symbols to be symbols, such that if x occurs in two places in the data, it is the same object according to eq.

According to this coding guideline, you cannot develop a .fasl format that is made of Lisp read syntax, or exploit Lisp for sophisticated, structured data formats in general.
Let's say the employee was furloughed. But, the company applied and got PPP funds by saying they wouldn't furlough anyone. The employee was told one thing, but the reality was another. This could be a fraudulent form of a bridge loan, right? Easier to get in a crisis, the banks will only figure it out later.

Financing for startups has probably totally dried up. I bet a lot of VCs said: "We don't have any more funding for you, but try this approach..." And, they recommended going after PPP and at the same time recommended firing people to slim down the salary burden, but only after the PPP loan was safely in place. That extra time could be a lifeline for a startup.

I think this is what happened to me.
I don’t think you can make this argument when at the same time the government was paying an extra $600 per week on top of regular pay for unemployment.

Or, it could be designed to encourage universities to hold in person classes.

> Macros bring syntactic abstraction, which is a wonderful thing. It helps make your code clearer, by describing your intent without getting bogged in implementation details (indeed abstracting those details away). It helps make your code more concise and more readable, by eliminating both redundancy and irrelevant details. But it comes at a cost to the reader, which is learning a new syntactic concept for each macro. And so it should not be abused.

I really think this just applies to any kind of indirection - classes, functions, even named constants (vs literals).
I am not necessarily disagreeing with you but a lot of small businesses in the US survive on thin margins and the owners also don't make a lot of money necessarily. So it is not always the case that a company only has to worry about income. They have to worry about paying employees, ensuring they can meet payroll (which in turn helps families of those workers), keep liabilities in check and many other issues.

I am totally with you when it comes to companies with deep pockets but a lot of very small businesses are really just a group of individuals trying to survive together.
They’re already here, travel is potentially dangerous (especially a large exodus of international students), time zone issues, ability to pick back up where they left off easily, possible local employment/internships, apartments/hoisting they’re under a lease for, the undoubtedly insane cluster it’ll be when folks try to return...the list goes on dude. That’s off the top of my head. Surely you can see how burdensome this “solution” is?
This is essentially the same thing that happened with Siri, started out really great and functional, then results shifted towards 'businesses' and 'services' rather than just the best content. Google's insistence on surfacing local results first exacerbates that in many cases. Better though for their bottom line.

"but we can now keep an eye on those who did not really need it." Who's to say?
I asked internally and figured out the gotcha that bit us: default dns payload size is 512b, which is enough for a few backend hosts but for sure not 12 or 30. Limit is 8kb, which probably wouldn't work for whatever slack is doing.

https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.1/configuration.htm....

Because DNS records come back in random order for each response, those truncated dns responses caused the backend slots to constantly rotate between different pod instances. Haproxy was graceful about the rotations, but it showed up as suddenly very strange latency / perf numbers when a backend was scaled up to say 10 instances from the normal 3

Boris Johnson is 9 years younger than Bolsonaro? He sure looks rough.
Probably the fastest processor made on 130nm was the AMD Sledgehammer, which had a single core, less than half the performance per clock of modern x64 processors, and topped out at 2.4GHz compared to 4+GHz now, with a die size basically the same as an 8-core Ryzen. So Ryzen 7 on 7nm is at least 32 times faster and uses less power (65W vs. 89W).

You could probably close some of the single thread gap with architectural improvements, but your real problems are going to be power consumption and that you'd have to quadruple the die size if you wanted so much as a quad core.

The interesting uses might be to go the other way. Give yourself like a 10W power budget and make the fastest dual core you can within that envelope, and use it for things that don't need high performance, the sort of thing where you'd use a Raspberry Pi.

Why are you reframing what I believe: "making an effort to listen to and accept the concerns of others as legitimate" as penance? Is it penance to listen to black Americans? I certainly don't think so. If anything, it's educational.
I see people say many things, not all of them make sense or appear consistent to me, which is why I am asking questions.

I appreciate the answer. Are there situations where those of the female sex as a group have a legitimate special interest that does not include trans women?
This only works for the simplest cases. If the two microservices must share data and direct calls (API calls) are not allowed (because they make your services highly coupled to each other to the point where if one of them ia down, then the other cannot work properly, or simply because your use case cannot tolerate the latency overhead) then each service must 1) replicate the data needed locally by listening to interesting events of the other service and b) emit interesting events so that the other service can update its local db. In other words, async communication.

While this let's you scale up teams, it's a huge overhead. So, unless you have over, let's say, 500 devs, it's not worth it.
Actually they did go down. Lots of evidence that people were not going to the hospital out of fear of Covid exposure

But let’s assume your premise; it’s likely their costs went up dramatically between Personal protective equipment, hazard pay, quarantine procedures for exposed employees etc.

Ambulance services are capital intensive (ie large Debt payments) and low margin. A 20% drop in revenue would bankrupt the company.
By that measure tons of people had their private property taken...PPP just picked the winners of the taxpayer bailout.

And no, government ordered shutdowns are not taking of private property, it’s done all the time for Natural disasters And taxpayers don’t bail out the businesses. Not to mention business don’t have “licenses” from the state, they may be incorporated and organized, but that wasn’t a requirement of the PPP loans, independent contractors were eligible and didn’t need a separate business entity to qualify for PPP.
The thing is, you usually shouldn't be calling INTERN even at compile time. A better rule is this:

Don't use code to calculate character strings, which are then converted to symbols via INTERN. The main exceptions to this rule are structs (which generate slot-reader functions by combining the structure name and slot names).

Macrology which calculates names using code, which are then supposed to be explicitly referenced in code, is pretty stinky.

E.g.:

(define-blob foo ...)

Here, you're suposed to Just Know that the above is referenced as blob-foo and not foo, because internally it catenates "BLOB-" onto (symbol-name 'foo), and calls intern on that.
My wording in the prior comment was perhaps too strong - I don't in fact believe it's not a thing, as I've said there exist examples of people being canceled so I guess it's fair to say I believe a definition of cancel culture that just means it's possible for people to be canceled. But I am expressing skepticism regarding its extent and questioning why people are so worried about it. Even if I believed it was not a thing, it should not be up to be to prove the non-existence of something (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot).
Coupled with a lot of academics viewing coding as an unfortunate requirement to their craft. I can probably count on one hand of the folks I've worked with who know what a linter even is, or even keep minimally abreast of new versions of the language they work in every day.
> They both are areas of thought which promote ideas (sometimes framed as facts) without sufficient demonstrable evidence (otherwise validating the so called framework of facts).

"Sufficient" (emphasis mine) for what?

If you're applying a particular approach to epistemology, I think you'll have a hard time defending it as unquestionably superior to the epistemologies held by others.
Fairly does not entail equally. Chances are there will be a political calculation done by whoever is in power at the time, and loans will be disproportionately forgiven in a way that offers the most political benefit. The approach taken will be touted as "fair" and the recipients "most deserving of forgiveness".

It's not just copyrights and patents, though. One of the main benefits of YouTube is that it handles all that for you. Sometimes it doesn't quite work, but it's pretty valuable to be able to post a video with some music and have it claimed, and they take the revenue, rather than they sue you and/or issue a take down notice of some kind.

> I guess that would make school classes a more fluid concept, where you are with your advanced math friends for 2 hours, then with kids from the average English course for 2 hours. So you don't have a common group of kids spending their school time together.

This is typical of the current American education system, at least from middle school or junior high onward, where you tend to have roughly six different classes per day with different students in each class. Although math is the only class where they will typically move advanced students ahead. You definitely lose the social cohesion that is present in elementary/primary school where you spend the whole day with the same group of kids.
