Every isolated Go piece is pretty readable. The problem is that getting most things done requires enough code that it's a lot of work to take it all in. Run all the for loops in your head. Etc. Higher level (and esp FP) languages like Haskell or Scala will be the opposite. That bunch of function compositions may take a little bit of work to digest, but once you understand it you understand a lot.

When people disagree on readability its often bc they mean two different things. We would benefit from different terms for readable-in-the-small and readable-in-the-large.
For me this is a perk of working mainly with computers and not face to face.
I'm pretty sure the Chernobyl plant had 4 separate "blocks" each with one reactor and two turbo generators? No.4 was the one that exploded but the other three kept on producing power for years after.

Not really. Black people might still be slaves if we left that up to popular opinion. That was NOT a popular opinion at the time. Same for women's voting rights. Black voting rights. Gay marriage.

All these were passed when public support was hovering at 25% - and shortly after they were passed, public opinion quickly shifted in an S-curve.
You have to make it clear that acting on those urges is morally repugnant while also saying that having the urges isn't fundamentally immoral. That's a tricky balance to walk but it's whats needed if we want these folk to come out of the woodwork and actively seek help before they commit abuses.

I'm not sure your piece of anecdata is representative of the whole. My piece of anecdata is that we have several Brother printers at work, the oldest of which has been going for 7 or 8 years and the page counter shows somewhere around 150,000. We did change the fuser unit once but it was around the same cost as a toner cartridge.
I looked at the pricing table and apparently you won't own the output?

This will just cause a deepening of the Digital and Information Feudalism that is already going on. It will result in a violent revolution by the working classes, to throw off these chains, and to democratize the use and application of the underlying technologies used by Uber et al. I am sad that American citizens are subjected to these experiments by American billionaires. They are systemically dehumanized, exploited and pushed to their limits. [1]

Why do people still stand behind copyrights and patents, in this age of zero-marginal cost reproduction and transmission of information? [2]

Details of Last Recall Nerf OSRS in Trailblazer League with $18 Off RS07 Gold
Last Recall nerf OSRS has been proposed with the teleport adjustment. Changes will be made with the update this week.

Want special gift for Thanksgiving Day 2020? To show deep gratitude, RSorder will offer up to $18 coupons for OSRS gold, RS gold and other products for U in Thanksgiving Special Offers from Nov 7 to Nov 12, 2020.

Why is Last Recall nerf OSRS proposed?

According to the latest official blog, the develop team has received feedback regarding crowding and players crashing one another at the God Wars Dungeon. The team anticipated that there would be an overpopulation problem in this area, which is why they added the option to enter a private instance to fight the bosses. However, players with OSRS Last Recall relic are able to teleport directly back into the boss chambers, and this does not work with instances. Players are also hopping between worlds, which leads to an unintended increase in population around an already crowded area.

Proposed changes for Last Recall OSRS

To fix the issue mentioned above, the adjustment will be made to Last Recall OSRS to change how the relic works in the God Wars Dungeon. With the update, it will teleport players to the door of the boss room they came from, rather than into the boss room itself. This adjustment will allow them to re-enter a private instance.
Additionally, players’ kill count would not be removed once it’s earned, regardless of the Relic they have chosen. This will apply to any situation where players would typically lose their kill count.

What do you think about Last Recall nerf OSRS?

Anyway, long-term 5% off code "RSYK5" is also offered for U to buy Osrs gold / Runescape 3 Gold and all other products from https://www.rsorder.com/ at anytime.
And this is why we need AI: to parse and extract information from webpages that are too dangerous for a sane human to read.
I have had a couple of Epson “pro-level” inkjets.

The photos they print are awesome.

But I won’t buy another one. I would tend to print in “batches”; sometimes, months apart.

Epsons don’t sit well. Each printing session would start with a whole bunch of “throat-clearing.” I’d waste a ton of ink, just cleaning the heads.

Also, the printers required a significant amount of desk space.
Maybe people just really like ubers?
I've been trying to make all-digital work for years. I feel like there are significant downsides with digital that make me want to go back to paper (but if I were to print out everything I read, my small apartment would be overflowing in a year and it seems so wasteful).

One of the most obvious benefits to paper that comes to mind is the ability to lay multiple non-sequential pages (from the same paper and from other papers) side-by-side. That spatial aspect isn't replicable afaict and I definitely feel like it limits me in many ways.
Well, not really. On a summary Wikipedia[0] investigation you can find that the UN definition of freedom of speech also contains caveats[1].

Sequentially, from the beginning. Take your time.

Scientific articles are usually organised in a specific way that makes it easy to get a good understanding of the domain it is providing new knowledge.

What does it mean to read something seriously? We consume content differently according to our own needs. Even if you read something seriously there is always a chance that you didn't read it "seriously" enough.
> considering the absurd productivity compared to Java/Kotlin/Python/blublang

I have not see more unproductive language than Scala.
Note: all console generations so far had the option of loading software from physical media (even if there are models without this option, they are not the only model).
As long as physical media is an alternative for loading software on consoles, consoles are not as restrictive as iOS devices (even if creation of that physical media requires licensing 1'st party development tools).
Apple iOS is the only platform where a company uses its natural monopoly over the hardware and OS to create a monopoly on software distribution.
Most modern weapons are fission-fusion-fission designs with the latter fission step using neutrons from the preceding fusion step. Most of the energy in most "H-bomb" designs comes from fission:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonuclear_weapon

A notable example where this wasn't the case was the test of the Tsar Bomba where the final fission component was left out largely because of the enormous amount of fall-out this would create - reducing the yield from 100Mt to 50Mt. The resulting explosion did have a very high fusion component.
Yet plenty of big companies manage to ship software written in Scala just fine.
What else did you expect to happen?

Honestly, as soon as they announced the new rate limits, it seemed obvious that this would happen: different platforms will implement workarounds.

I'm sure the same would happen if npmjs or pypi started charging for using their package registry.

There's lots of hobby programmer, or simply, companies from economies that can't afford to pay 5USD/month. For example, a friend of mine pays a total of $0.95 a month for his ecommerce needs.
The best part about Prop 22 is it reveals who reads their props before expressing an opinion on them. It's a litmus test for who speaks in an uninformed manner.

Here is the only reference to seven-eighths in Prop 22:

> After the effective date of this chapter, the Legislature may amend this chapter by a statute passed in each house of the Legislature by rollcall vote entered into the journal, seven-eighths of the membership concurring, provided that the statute is consistent with, and furthers the purpose of, this chapter

Seven-eighths to overturn, eh? Now where did you go get that?

Now secondarily, one might ask if someone "disappointed with the public" is sufficiently informed about ballot propositions in the first place. For instance, if you're a California voter and you can't answer "If a ballot proposition is passed through voter referendum, what majority of the legislature can overrule it?", then can you really be considered an informed voter?

Or, more directly, you are clearly expressing discontent with California voters while being the problem since you are clearly uninformed about Prop 22 and about how ballot props work (and perhaps about why they have to work that way).
I don't think you're supposed to be able to dismiss it - it's not about conversion, you're supposed to need an account so that you've had to agree 'I have a television licence'.
Groovy is still alive within the context of Grails (which is basically a very nice wrapper around Spring) and Micronaut (which is a direct competitor to Spring). Micronaut officially supports Java and Kotlin as well.

Great post.
Thanks for the info.
Unless you are an Uber driver (and even then, there is debate among drivers), AB5 would only cause you to face higher prices and reduced availability.

Voting for this would be an altruistic act that would come out of people's wallets. No surprise that this passed easily.
Lots of good answers already - I would add that Amazon has people already signed up to prime, so they can ship the book ‘free’ unlike other bookshops. That’s a big advantage on price for a low cost item like a book.
That's probably the HP Instant Ink service, which sends your ink levels to HP every freaking time so they can send a new set of cartridges if it's running low. You can set it up without that.

HP printers will still look for updates and take their time installing them even when you need to urgently print 2 sheets, as I found out myself :/
Carbon Copy Cloner can’t make bootable backups for macOS Big Sur
You mean cheap Ubers of course.

I also don't think direct democracy lost here. Most people don't want Uber prices to go up. Democracy always sucks for the minority / people who don't have voting rights.

I think it's easy to spin things however you want

If prop 11 was rejected, someone could go on HN and say that they're disgusted with how CA voters decided that EMTs shouldn't receive extra mental health care. Or that voters said that it's better to let someone die than require an EMT to postpone their (still paid!) break by 1 hour

One bit I don't quite understand: how is Uber a state granted monopoly? I get that they're allowed to exist only because the state so decides. But as far as I am aware, the state doesn't ban anyone else (lyft or your and me) from competing do they?

Sorry if I'm missing your point. Also, I quite like the "State as Platform" model.
The way I write a paper for "curious, interested layman" is different than the way I write for experts. It's hard to keep both in mind when writing.

Laymen, for example, might need some figures to help understand a topic that experts internalized years ago.

I prefer having occasional well-written review papers, meant for getting non-experts up to speed. Then the domain experts - who are often not experts at writing for laymen - can refer people to those review papers, possibly also with a history delta for what's new since the review.

Direct democracy sounds great but I doubt large enough fractions of the voters can be informed well enough (in a reasonable amount of time, not in general) to be actually aware of the consequences of their decisions on most topics.

If you want to read about a textbook example of under-informed voters getting more than they bargained for, look no further than [0] (or well, the "Brexit").
A national-conservative party wanted to limit immigration to Switzerland and put that up for decision. The Swiss voted in support of it but the issue is ... immigration is part of a treaty with the EU that is protected against such "cherry-picking" by a so-called "guillotine clause" [1]. Cancelling or failing to renew any part of the treaty voids it as a whole[2]. The government eventually implemented a very toned down version to avoid running afoul of the treaty because among other things that would have affected the other agreements on air traffic, road traffic, agriculture and science and more (see "Implementation" in [0] again).

I really want to vote you down. For some reason, I felt physical pain after reading your comment. :P
Do you think it passes the Equal Protection Clause of 14th Amendment of the US constitution? Treating some companies' employees differently than others?

Because I hope it does.

I also unfortunately have to hope that the ride-share companies give the benefits they suggest, but I also want the US to unbundle this from companies to begin with, across the whole republic.
Dear ImGui is excellent and is very handy to make GUI version of a CLI app especially if we want to interactively set values and see results.

It is fairly low level (deliberately) and that’s great to keep it simple. I wish there is a standalone GUI ‘framework’ which builds on these primitives and leans on standard library to make the experience a bit more nicer when building standalone applications.

I understand this is not the goal of Dear ImGui. I may give it a shot in a few months time if I don’t come across any such project.
whats your workflow for being 100% digital?
By like I mean prefer. So they’d pick Ruby instead of Java for most tasks for example.
Hey, great to see a fellow UK stickist in the wild! My railboard arrived earlier this year. It sure is quite the handful...

I have one of the same model but it prints very slow. Did you upgrade the RAM on yours?
It doesn't seem like the actual local bookstore does much in this arrangement? They don't ship the book, own the customer relationship, or deal with customer support?

How does this work out well for them in the medium term? Won't they just be discarded after the customers have been acquired?

Does turning local bookstores into an affiliate really justify the rosy narrative in this article? Am I missing something?
Serious question, I've been toying about with Go but aside from having to recently write a tree for myself, what are you using generics for?
One of the things I really lean into with go is that your program tightly fits your problem. Where's your generic limitation?
I liked 90s Java at the time. ;-) well the alternative seemed to be c++ or vb or Perl and I didn’t know about python.
Thanks. Does that really happen?
People complaining that $200 million was spent promoting Prop 22 don't understand that gig companies were up against some very powerful forces in California: Namely Democratic congress persons and California unions they were allied with. Unions tried to strong arm Uber and Lyft because they hoped to unionize drivers. CA lawmakers passed AB5, which was a disaster at the start because musicians could no longer pick up backing musicians when they toured, for example, and freelance writers were suddenly having a hard time getting work. Lawmakers had to carve out a bunch of exceptions. It became clear that they were only going after mainly Uber and Lyft. Most people I talked to understood AB5 was a bad law because a lot of people do extra work on the side or have family members that do.

Surveys showed most drivers wanted to stay independent. About 70% are part time drivers and wanted to continue to work where, when and for how long they wanted. Of the 30% that are full time drivers, it was never clear to me what percentage of them wanted to be employees. As I explained here [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24866382], many drivers who wanted employee/union protection were not very good drivers. For example, one driver the unions put in front of cameras said he only made $67 on a 12 hour shift in San Francisco. You have to be doing something very wrong to only make that much in 12 hours in San Francisco. If that were the case then the many drivers from the Central Valley wouldn't work SF. It wouldn't be worth it.
Part of why I voted for prop 22 is because the list of special exemptions to AB5 is a mile long.

On top of the original exemptions, we even passed AB2257 which added a few dozen more (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...)

I think prop 22 is flawed, but I'm using it as a referendum on AB5 (and I think it's marginally better than the alternative). AB5 is a defacto ban on casual use of the gig economy. It would've required uber to reduce the # of drivers and/or start assigning them shifts
It's been quite a while, so I might be misremembering some of the details, but I was one of the early contributors to the Discogs database.

In the beginning it was very much a community driven project and it seemed like the Discogs database would remain open like e.g. Wikipedia with the GFDL, so after pouring in a lot of work it was very disappointing when the project was commercialized and the database closed with a restrictive license.
I did tech support and I definitely liked it. Climbed up the ranks quickly. Really the first job I was exceptionally good at. The problem was that not only the calls kept coming from fresh users that were just as uninformed as the ones I got on my first day but worse was the fact that every month my coworkers got more clueless than the previous batch.

I can stand clueless (and largely thankful) end customers. What I cannot stand is people that should be better at what they're doing and simply don't care.
I was also asking me for such details. Thanks.
In 2016 there was a proposition to abolish death penalty and another to expedite it. Expediting death penalty proposition won.

Another proposition was to legalize weed production. That one also won. If all the weed supporters would have also voted for abolishing death penalty...
I take issue with the statement that "Snowden was driven more by fears than by facts". Snowden revealed that the NSA was collecting information about citizens (American and many other countries) indiscriminately, for example every call record, every internet search, every web page viewed, etc. The documents he shared show the NSA's mission to collect ALL data possible, terrorist or not. Additionally it showed that there was basically no oversight when it came to digging into people's private lives; an NSA analyst could type in an email or IP address, click a few buttons, put down a few words for "justification" and then get a live view of someone's internet activity, have access to all of their data held by Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, Skype, etc. This is all bad, and it's real, not just a fear.

BTW the ninth circuit court of appeals ruled that the bulk collection was illegal a couple months ago: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/03/edward-snowd...

If you transform values, then it has logic, so it does not fit in my definition of simple plumbing.

If you check that integer value AgencyId is passed to another object as integer value with the same name of AgencyId that is basic plumbing that should not be covered by unit test.

Of course someone might forget to wire that up somewhere, but it is not something I would say writing test and then maintaining it costs more than just fixing it when you find it and once it is fixed there is no real reason to keep regression on it.

Yes very interesting back in the mid 70's we had access to a PDP at my comprehensive School in Bedfordshire.

Though we didn't have the luxury of a terminal in the school - we sent our work of on coding sheets and got the results back for the next lesson.

We used CECIL (an assembly language designed for education) and in the second year BASIC.

This was the CSE stream BTW aka the stream for those expected to leave school at 16
Nope, we were too small - instead we had folks, offices, and partners all over. We were neither of the two you're thinking of.

no, on consoles, the platform holder has to approve every single game to be made into discs. If your game violates Sony and Microsoft's rules, they won't let you make the discs. Its same with the app store.
Yeah I've wondered for quite a while why autogyro drones aren't popular. They should be efficient and safe - since one problem with autogyros was the noise they made due to large rotor size, drone sized ones shouldn't have that problem.
