I need to find it, but I remember it was "we discussed it, and no, we decided not to" sort of answer there. There is also earlier explanations (from Rob Pike I think?) that was "we did not like how it looks like, couldn't find a nice looking syntax". The whole discussion left me with a bit of eery feeling, and left me with a bit of a sour taste (together with "error handling" one that I kind of tried to participate in). I pretty much stopped actively following golang-nuts after that, and now only look at proposals through meeting notes that Russ posts on github [1], where you can see accepted/not accepted status immediately.

Btw, there is another saga (drama?) unfolding on github proposal discussions over sum types [2], and judging by the past experience I don't have high hopes for it to get into the language.

>Furthermore, speaking for my observations of the West, most of the political focus has been on progressing redistributive and environmental policy.

I have literally no idea where you're getting this from, at least from the US's perspective. The EPA has been gutted by the GWB and Trump admins, and the courts blocked anything serious the Obama admin tried to do. There was "welfare reform" in the 90s which reduced redistribution. Taxes on the wealthy have fallen a bunch. The bankruptcy reform in the mid 2000s was a disaster.
That's a very good point, thanks for bringing it up.
yeah its interesting, and that is why I asked it that way to see if people smarter than myself could argue it (either side of the discussion). I find it weird that if I were to buy and apple device, and I wanted to write my own program to use only for myself on it I would have to pay an annual fee to Apple to get permission to run it. I think it does sort of boil down to a semantics argument about what is a license for a device you own or not own? Or if you want to want to sell and distribute something you need to pay an annual fee plus 30% of every sale (or 15% if you do their multi-year subscription magic, Or are large enough like Netflix).

Apple is very hostile towards their customers and developers/business partners.

Well, there's probably 100-200k engineers combined working at FAANG jobs, who have the option of the FAANG salary or the government salary. FAANG pays so /many/ paychecks that the expectation really is that high for people who can pass a FAANG interview. There are a lot of people who /can/ pass the interviews but choose not to, effectively taking a pay cut to go work on things they're passionate about; only a few of these end up working in 'boring' parts of government. The US Digital Service was meant to make it a broader/better path, though.

Your people description (B) is worth considering, too: I (personally) am unlikely to take a job I think I'm 'overqualified' for unless it's in a specific problem area I really, really care about. And 'overqualified' sounds near synonymous with 'few growth prospects': if the opportunities are there, why haven't they been taken? And if they aren't, why should I take a pay cut to work in a space with fewer opportunities for growth?

Not really. Japanese / SKorea success in tech are from massive conglomerates that function effectively the same as Chinese SEOs, see Chaebol, Zaibatsu. These are legacies of their authoritarian history. Free speech doesn't matter when building electronics or military hardware. It won't matter for semiconductors or turbojets. Japan / SKorea both have their indigenous nex-gen fighter programs, F-X2/3 for Japan, KAI KFX for Korea. China's J-20 that started a few years earlier is far more mature. Japan had help from US aviation and realized their indigenous capabilities were insufficient. J20 also ahead of Russian gen5, Su57 in most technical categories except power plant. Pattern is to copy 1 or 2 generations to learn and then indigenize. Maybe free speech matters for commercial cultural products, but the media products China exports like video games would suggest no.

China under Xi is going in the right direction for global dominance for the simple reason that he's one of the first leader since Mao to take military modernization seriously. Chinese money talks, but military hardware gatekeeps whether that conversation to happen in the first place. Which matters more and more now that China containment is official US policy. The alternative to Xi was Bo Xilai who would never have reformed the corrupt and ineffective military old guard. Now China has a massively expanding Navy with growing blue water capabilities, SCS bases, space infrastructure and enough indigenous weapons that even belligerent US under Pompeo doesn't have the guts to sail carrier through the Taiwan strait anymore. Clinton sent two. I use to be a Xi doubter, but it's hard to argue he's not doing an incredible job.

Exactly, like under the 'WIV lab procedures' section it states:

Probabilistic Estimates:

Labs with lax security and procedures are conservatively estimated as 2x more likely to produce a lab escape.

However, since the reports are not very reliable, this is reduced to 1.5x.

There's no explanation or methodology presented as to how they derive these probabilities based on articles they found in the news and most of their assertions rely on this inexplicable methodology. Another example of just how nonsensical their conclusions are, under the sections 'WIV disassociation' and 'Chinese response' they again rely on news articles to conclude China's response merits suspicion and therefor must be covering up the source of COVID. This assertion is just illogical and fatally flawed. While China may have motivation to cover it up if that were the case, scientists in other countries who have obviously spent a great deal of time examining COVID and concluded it's zoonotic wouldn't have motivation to cover it up. Yet this obvious logical deduction is not factored into their conclusions or even merits a mention.

Really? I usually see a lot of plain disagreement based on reasonable lines of thinking, but only a very small proportion of "_extremely_ strong" wording. Are you sure you're not just interpreting a multitude of similar opinions as creating a feeling of that opinion being "extremely strong"? Or that you're not just thinking of the cases where people are responding to the overtly political conspiracy hyperbole that sometimes comes as a wrapper around the proposal?

Since all other comments appear to contradict you and make apologies from authority (after all, Google can't do anything wrong, right?) I'd like to just reassure you with my 20 years of experience developing C (and the last 10 with C++) in network and system software: that any library -- any library -- that forces internal dynamic memory upon its user smells bad. It's not a universal condemnation, but it begs the question, or rather the skepticism to ask why?

In the case of protobufs, there is no real answer. Protobufs is one of the few network libraries that doesn't operate with zero-copy. That steps over a tangible line in the sand.

No zero-copy for networking? Forced internal heap allocations with only this arena feature after a decade? Sorry no. Protobufs isn't useful for serious network applications.

The only thing the police provide victims is a deterrence for criminals and for some, perhaps, a sense of justice and closure. Beyond that, there is nothing more the police can do for victims. Victims need laws passed to help their communities from turning to crime in the first place or laws that decriminalize so called victimless crimes. Part of those changes means funding schools and small businesses and tax abatement for those in most need. So now, while we are talking about funding we look at the city budget. Lo and behold, police departments take a lot (in some cases a plurality) of total tax revenue that could be used to help victims in ways beyond deterrence. That is why we talk about defunding police. That is the context in which we are focusing on victims. The police create many victims on their own and currently have no internal way to fix that problem.

People get very defensive when we ask questions like this as they think it has an anti-vaxxer agenda. But I think having this order of magnitude in mind is the best way to argue with people who don't want to get vaccinated. Just trying to ridicule them isn't the solution.
The actual implementation is bit of a fudge for performance reasons, but the general idea is based around amount of entropy: if a patch of an image already contains noise or intricate details, then I don't disturb it further with dithering. If it's flat, then it's safe to dither.

I also use Sobel edge detection and suppress diffusion at the edges, which fixes a particular quirk of FS where error is accumulated throughout a flat area and gets countered only at the edge when color changes (e.g. if an area should be brighter than the brightest color you have in your palette, dithering is unable to fix it, but all the "needs to be brighter!!!" error will accumulate and blow on next pixel that was supposed to be dark).

Hate to tell you this, but your opponents think they are following this exact playbook. The difference is that they classify an "aggression" as equivalent to cancelling, and they have a very expansive definition of what an aggression is. Other than that, they're doing exactly what you propose.

>When talking about policing, the only thing it provides victims is deterrence for criminals. Beyond that, there is nothing more the police can do for victims.

What about taking criminals out of the community and locking them away in prison? Would that not help? Because that's what this surveillance program would do. It allows the police to view footage after the crime occurred and track down the perp. It wouldn't help that victim, but it would prevent the next one.

>Lo and behold, police departments take a lot of tax money that could be used to help victims in ways beyond deterrence and so that is why we talk about defunding police.

False choice. You don't need to defund the police to fund whatever program you want. And you make it seem like there is some magic social program just waiting to be funded that would solve criminality but the evil police budget is what prevents it from being implemented. As if!
Well, if you're not part of the solution...

The following blog post is referenced in the proposal: https://www.tweag.io/blog/2017-08-03-linear-typestates/ . This is maybe a different aspect than what others have been trying to explain, but I found the socket-based example enlightening.

Type states allow the state of the socket (unbound, bound, listening, closed) to be expressed as a part of the type (a type annotation, if you will) so the compiler can verify that you're not reusing a closed socket, or try to send data over an unbound socket.

Linear types then, allow to express in code how a type (annotation) changes over time (e.g., "bind() takes an unbound socket and returns it an a bound state") so the compiler can statically check that it's in a valid state for every operation.

Could you clarify why you think placing crypto rigs in space is a good idea? To run a crypto rig, you need to provide a lot of power and have a mechanism to keep the processors cool. Being in space seems to make both of these substantially more difficult (especially cooling the electronics). It seems highly implausible to me that crypto will be the “killer app” of space.
The counterpoint to this I'll make is that all financial systems engage in costly signaling.

If you visit a foreign country how do you know to trust whether to trust a specific bank? You probably look at cues like whether it occupies an expensive skyscraper in the center of town? Do you see its ads around town? Does it sponsor the local soccer team? All credible signals that are hard to fake for a fly-by-night scammer.

All Bitcoin did was formalize this process. At any given time there are many chains that all purport to be the canonical history. How do you decide which one is authentic? By looking at hard-to-fake signals. In this case the accumulated hashing power behind the chain. Looking for whoever spent the most hash work is fundamentally no different than checking to see which bankers are wearing the most expensive suits.

Any system with trusted intermediaries will waste resources on costly signaling. The only question is whether crypto mining is more of a fundamental waste than traditional signals, like high-paid bankers and prestige real estate.
