I'm still really not clear on why the Go team thought this was a good idea.

It makes no sense to me to try to impose this rule on the ecosystem - the costs (confusion, multiple urls, multiple ways of doing it) vastly outweigh the benefits (multiple versions in use at once), and if a particular project wishes to use this rule, they could do so, without imposing it on the thousands of packages which might want to use higher numbers to indicate large feature releases or are already using higher numbers.

In theory a larger number in semantic versioning indicates breaking changes, in practice small breaking changes are made all the time, it's a matter of degree and the context of a given project, and people also use version numbers for marketing or indicating lots of new features - a good case in point being Go 2.0 which may well be backwards compatible to Go 1.0. That makes this assumption in their blog false:

> By definition, a new major version of a package is not backwards compatible with the previous version.[0]

That's not the only, or even the main, reason projects use higher version numbers.

I imagine lots of people will keep their version forever in the 1.x range to work around this rule. I too believe Go should drop this requirement before it is too late.

Rumor has it AMD has a competitive GPU but will not pursue the high-end market mostly because of their limited TSMC slots, they can make much more money from a CPU wafer than a GPU one ( due to area size and yield )

But I really hope I'm wrong and they kick Nvidia ass since they become such intolerable arrogant anti-competitive pricks in the last +10 years.
No one is claiming that you can't get something cheaper, either.
I am a former geophysicist, and credibly we could see on the order of an 8C rise this century. It's much worse than the general public thinks, and the picture keeps worsening as understanding of the system and its feedbacks increase.

A rise of 5-8C make large parts of the Earth uninhabitable and would collapse food production and global civilization. Billions dying is not scaremongering, but is a very probable outcome of business-as-usual.

Our civilization, and our population of 9 billion, takes an immense amount of resources to maintain, and it will collapse if the Earth can no longer supply it.

A stationary camera looking up up peoples faces 24/7 in a huge database is a very different thing to occasional photography by an individual, who only has a limited memory capacity.

There's really no way of stopping or reversing this without billions of people dying. Since the end of WWII, killing others for the survival of your own kind has become extremely taboo (outside of Israel, that is), so nothing is going to be done until it's way too late.

The concern is that compared to what's necessary to change the apparent course of the planet, what has been done so far is basically nothing. On a global scale the amount of change necessary is orders of magnitude larger than what has changed so far, and it needs to happen fast (and the problem is getting worse: the second derivative isn't even in the right direction in that carbon emissions per year are still increasing globally. Given what we know about the climate it's not clear if we would avoid substantial shifts even if we reset the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere to the levels from the start of the century). And the fact is much more action could be easily taken even right now, but some governments are still in denial that there's even a problem in the first place (and the fact is this is a problem which needs government action: individual consumers do not have the power to change the behaviour of industry, even if well organised).
Did you ever read this https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html?

I think I get what you are saying but maybe you could reformat it in a civil way rather than berating me.

I listed some very simple examples of places where we don't understand the Earth's carbon cycle fully. No one will publish a study saying, 'Hey guys we don't understand this yet'. We know we don't! That's why we do research to chip away at the problems.

> But you can't just use a lack of knowledge around an low probability event to drive global policy that could potentially be disastrous in all kinds of other ways.

The way I think about it like this. When I do an experiment I (am supposed to) do a risk assessment. If a proceedure has a low probability of causing a huge hazard like death I should take steps to reduce the risk of that hazard occurring as much as possible. Similarly climate change has a none zero possibility of causing humans to become extinct (and a much more than none zero chance of cause society as we know it to breakdown). Shouldn't we lower that probability?

Awful article. But anyway...

> In EU, 1 in 8 deaths linked to pollution

This claim based on a single quote in this paper, neither linked nor cited to the direct section

https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/healthy-environment-h...

The article derives the headline statistic from this quote which is infact from another document:

> We are exposed to pollution in our
homes, in our workplaces, in the outdoor environment
and when we eat, play, sleep, drive, walk, swim or run.
In 2012, 13 % of all deaths in the EU were attributable
to the environment (WHO, 2016a).

WHO, 2016a being this: https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/15-03-2016-an-estimated...

The nature of the deaths at the top of the list they cite as wholly explicable by environmental factors is

-Stroke – 2.5 million deaths annually

-Ischaemic heart disease – 2.3 million deaths annually

-Unintentional injuries (such as road traffic deaths) – 1.7 million deaths annually

-Cancers – 1.7 million deaths annually

-Chronic respiratory diseases – 1.4 million deaths annually

Which are infact almost largely related to lifestyle and obesity more so than anything else, with obvious exceptions.

This is just another pamphlet of spurious correlations designed to push policy in a certain direction with no regard for science or reality.

Yes, I'm comparing it to the price of a vserver/cloud instance running cronjobs or webhooks.

That's what all technical people I know use ifttt for.

And usually a 3$ one can run hundreds of these sort of automations, unless you're relying on some of these ifttt-ingrained applets.

And before anyone draws the "this takes longer"/labor costs cards.. I only started posting my blog post blurbs to Twitter/Fediverse via cronjob because the ifttt-rss-to-twitter thing was broken at some point.

The issue here is that despite screen readers, text is simply not the same as images.

Spamming a page with redundant visual imagery that's easy to take in at a glance is fine. But its terrible to screen read, because reading is much more expensive than glancing. For the alt text, it's important to only give valuable non-redundant information.

I suspect that the ideal primary role of a leader in a remote setting is to serve as a communication channel.

In person, it's somehow easier to tune the office chatter in and out as needed to keep track of what your colleagues are up to. I have yet to find an electronic replacement for this phenomenon. Email, if nobody thought to CC you, you simply won't find out. If people deal with this by defensively CCing everyone, you drown in email. Slack's value is inversely proportional to its uptake: The more people talk on it, the more it resembles a sort of workplace Twitter where it's simply impossible to try and keep track of what everyone is saying, so you give up and resort to only looking at it when you're trying to slack off. Threads attempt to work around this by replicating the problems of email in a chat app.

I suspect that an old-school web forum like phpBB could work well, but any technical merits won't overcome the social perception. There's just no getting around the nerd factor there.

The only technique I've seen work well is the manager-as-dispatcher approach. This poor soul becomes the designated firehose-drinker. They get CC'd on every email, and they subscribe to every Slack thread. They keep an eye out for anything that Sam or Pat might want to know about, and check in to make sure that Sam or Pat is keeping an eye on it.

Do you live in the same place as when you were a kid? Anecdotal, but I now live in a bird sanctuary in South Carolina, and there are a lot more birds here than where I grew up. It’s really hard to gauge things based on personal experience. One thing that has definitely changed is insect levels around lights at night. Every streetlight in my childhood was positively swarming. Now, I can literally count the insects on my hands.
I see a lot of comments in here about the v2+ rule’s reason for existing being to allow importing multiple major versions of a module. That’s not it at all. As the blog post (which was easily Googled by me and explains things quite well IMO) states: “If an old package and a new package have the same import path,
the new package must be backwards compatible with the old package.”

They’re trying not to break compatibility until a downstream developer explicitly opts in to that breakage. The simplest way to do that is to give the module a new name. And the simplest way to do that is append the major version to the name.

Here is the post: https://blog.golang.org/v2-go-modules

In the go ecosystem, packages are imported per file. Go is designed for large systems to evolve over time. You need to be able to refer to v1 and v2 at the same time.

Thus the "/v2" requirement.

Yes, it is different. Stop complaining, do it, and it just works. Here is the tutorial.

1. Modify go.mod package path to include the "/v2" element.
2. Commit.
3. Tag as "v2.0.0"
4. Push tag.

I'm not seeing what is too confusing about releasing.

To consume, on packages that you want it, import the new package. Done.

Being able to import multiple versions without conflict has been extremely helpful when I've needed new features in one version, but didn't want to update (at the same time time) all the other places.

I really don't get why people don't like it, other then it is different then what they expect elsewhere.
Just over 40.

I live in Minnesota. I used to take trips in high school to the boundary waters area. The water was so clean, you didn't need a filter, you could drink right out of the lake. We didn't have to carry a ton of water, we just had cups that hung on the inside of our canoes. Thirsty? Just dip your cup and have a drink.

Nighttime was always an adventure. The bears and other animals out there were always vocal and nighttime is when a lot of animals came out and hunted. There were always an abundance of birds as well during the daytime. Hawks, bald eagles, falcons.

I've gone back through college and after college in the early 2000's. Everything has changed. Now we have a TON of ugly cell towers because people can't spend 5 min away from their phones. Less birds, the nights are a lot quieter, there didn't seem as many bears as I remember, and the nights have this eerie quiet to them.

Never mind now you have to haul in your own water, or bring a decent filter to filter the water now because its so polluted and not safe to drink. It used to be crystal clear, now its just mucky mud filth.

The other depressing thing is the trash. It was hammered into my brain when I was young the idea of "leave no trace" all through high school by my guides and in college all my roommates who were loyal to the idea. We took it on ourselves to self police each other. You leave a wrapper, a beer can? We all got on each other. It almost became a game, but it also taught us the importance of leaving an area as prestige as you found it. The last two times I was in the Boundary Waters (2008, 2014), I spent a LOT of time picking up others trash - beer cans, plastic bottles, cardboard boxes, you name it, I picked it up. There were two articles recently in the local paper saying it was getting worse now too.

I'm not sure if its a generational thing, people just don't care anymore or I've grown older and have no patience for people leaving their campsites a mess when they leave. Either way, the changes over the past decade have soured my attitude on going there anytime soon.
Oregon is right there too. It's the whole western US coast. Fiance and I left Salem just in case, we should be able to return today.
Not necessarily animals but I remember seeing way more insects when I was younger -- living in Normandy, but it might be because I used to spend more time outdoor than I do today.

Sure. Do you want to explain why you believe that we need more police? Right now our nation is in the middle of a massive consideration: Maybe we have had too many police. This comes on the heels of police evolving from slave patrols [0], police torturing the populace [1], etc.

The two big problems with it were that a) the computer player coding was just shockingly bad at dealing with it, particularly around any sort of geographic chokepoints, and b) it was incredibly tedious to deal with moving more than a handful of units.

Many other games like Total War series or Age of Wonders dealt with the overall question by having split strategic and tactical game modes, and they're hardly alone in that. Civ5 and 6 tried to keep the bastard child of those two game concepts in the same strategic-map and it just doesn't work that well.

I'm interested in the fact that almost every comment replied to your anecdotal comment with anecdotes of their own about how, in fact, there are so many more animals and the world is so much cleaner.

Yet, clearly, the statistics in this article and elsewhere show that this is plainly not the case. We are killing off wildlife at an unprecedented speed.

Why the disconnect? Are all our efforts really directed towards feel-good efforts at home, maybe, which make the world look cleaner and better for nature, while obscuring the huge amount of invisible damage we're doing?

Civ 2 is the one I played the most. It's a classic, but probably a bit dated by now. Civ 5 is pretty good, and probably better than 6. Some people claim it peaked at Civ 4.

Civ 5 certainly changes a few things compared to earlier versions, but at its heart it's still the same basic idea.

I think I'd recommend Civ 5. The lack of doom stacks makes it more tactical, and it cuts down on micromanagement by introducing puppet governments for excess cities. Every civilization has its own special units and special abilities that give a subtle but noticeable twist to the flow of the game.
