It would be weird if that was not the case, as Go and all its bells and whistles are open source. I found this after a quick search (clicking around will send you to the source code): https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/compilebench

edit: Ooh, that's nice, I did not know about that, thanks for sharing (especially useful as I'm transitioning to Rust after 10yrs of Go).
Yes, if someone abuses you and you don’t get rid of them then it’s your fault. Unless you have a magic wand that can change the behaviour of others.
Hah, my first job out of uni had this problem.

We were the UK office of a medium-sized Seattle-headquartered tech company. One of our department heads got a job at a fintech not long after I left, and gradually poached the rest of his team. Despite the salary raise being like 70%, the company refused to benchmark against them, because the were Central London, and we were Outer London.

I ended up jumping ship a couple of years later to that fintech, that 70% raise was lovely.

The thing is, American healthcare prices are horribly overblown. IDK why, maybe the need for malpractice insurance in a litiguous society, but I am always shocked when I learn how much do relatively routine things (LASIK, uncomplicated birth) cost in the USA. Usually at least ten times as much as in Europe.

Of all the users and all of Google's revenue, what percentage are we talking about? It's not as significant as you're assuming.
I think this happens more often than overcompensating employees who threaten to quit. Everyone I know has stories of a new person hired, making 10% - 20% more than existing people in the same position, and that person honestly not being worth while for the position in the first place. It produces a lot of hurt feelings / egos.
> When I was against gay marriage, I sat down and tried to think a lot about... [many details] ... You can disagree about gay marriage but realize that there are definitely things gay couples should have in a legal sense too; hospital visitation rights as one. A lot really was uncertainty about metaphysical and philosophical ideas I think.

Good points. I am glad you thought about it, even if you came to different conclusions than I would have.

> But all you had to do to shut all that down was to accuse me of homophobia and bigotry.

To state the obvious: I never accused you of that.

I'm not stating the obvious to be confrontational; I'm saying it because I've heard this argument frequently from people I know that disagree with my politically.

For example, I've met thoughtful people that feel attacked because they want to think through issues rather than jump on a bandwagon. I am very glad they are being thoughtful and see nuance in the issues.

So here is what I hope to learn: I'd like to know why you feel this way. Do you personally think that someone like me, perhaps from a different political philosophy, is judging you (as opposed to the underlying ideas)?

(I have some guesses, but I would rather not speculate.)

What was the motherload they were after and did they get it?

Or was this harvesting of the intelligence and information there were needed for the real gold?

While your review makes sense, it feels biased towards the viewpoint that Beaker, and the underlying hyper protocol, are commercial products in search of a market. I don't believe it is the case, the most sensible metric is not always the number of users.

Here's an answer to your question (what is one usecase that Beaker does that existing solutions can't) : Beaker is the easiest way to publish content without forfeiting control. No account to create, no giving away my data, no server to install and sleepless nights to maintain it, no need to remain always up and running for my content to be accessible. The few solutions that exist in this space still rely on some form of hackish UI, if they even have one. With Beaker all you have to do is launch it and use the microblogging app.

On thr contrary, Beaker may not be a product in the nkw usual meaning but that's because it is not an honest comparison: Beaker is a platform to help build products easily, as can be seen by the microblogging "example"
Intel has bigger fish to fry, including getting their act together.
The Go version tagging policy is a horrible idea for any multi-module git repo, especially one that releases both a product and some libraries.

It would mean that you need to create Go compatible tags for your library releases OR adjust your product versions to match Go's assumptions.

The whole implementation of Go modules is a shit show once you get into the weeds.

Maybe you should stop nagging. My initial question was why?
You said because text chat sucks in comparison to TS which has tabs.
I said I don't care because "works for me", and anyways you can configure it to be less annoying.
You accused me of moving goal posts while I didn't even feel like having joined your game, not to speak of not even caring about rules, thus total disregard for position of goals.

Furthermore I suggested just using another text chat option parallel to Mumble which better suits your needs, because why not?

That is all.
If anyone wants to experiment with training these nets, it's a great way to get exposed to a nice mix of chess and machine learning.

There are two trainers currently, the original one, which runs on CPU: https://github.com/nodchip/Stockfish, and a pytorch one which runs on GPU: https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch.

The SF Discord is where all of the discussion/development is happening: https://discord.gg/KGfhSJd.

Right now there is a lot of experimentation to try adjusting the network architecture. The current leading approach is a much larger net which takes in attack information per square (eg. is this piece attacked by more pieces than it's defended by?). That network is a little slower, but the additional information seems to be enough to be stronger than the current architecture.

Btw, the original Shogi developers really did something amazing. The nodchip trainer is all custom code, and trains extremely strong nets. There are all sorts of subtle tricks embedded in there as well that led to stronger nets. Not to mention, getting the quantization (float32 -> int16/int8) working gracefully is a huge challenge.
I just thought of this. I made a comment about a certain technology being double-edged and saw a couple of down votes. I really would have loved to know what caused the ire and have a polite discussion with the person.

Suggestion:

Technical forums have more than code being discussed. You may want to add categories or groups.

Idea/HN feature wishlist: When you downvote a comment, you can add a reason right there. When you hover on any comment which was downvoted, you can see the reasons why it was downvoted.
Yeah, I don't buy it. I've made a few attempts to get into TikTok, because my wife and friends are into it, and I have not been able to find any positive or quality content. It's mostly low quality memes and rude or otherwise vulgar attention seeking. I understand the appeal, given my experience with other social networks, but I definitely don't buy the narrative that it's in any way "good".
Clear rules and an active moderation can help solve this. If posters of "me too"-answers will receive negative feedback for those kind of posts, they will probably stop.

Maybe an idea for YouGotBlockedBecau.se/me-too ;-)
Nope, corporations are what is called a "legal person", which is, well, a "person" of sorts. That is, it is its own entity with its own will and liability for its actions.

This legal person is effectively controlled by a very small group of people, but it outlives them as these titles are replaced (new CEO, changing board). Everyone else contribute to its function, but not its interests. They are recruited to work for the entity through an uneven symbiotic relationship, where the entity covers the simple short-term needs of individuals.

It then uses it the power amassed to benefit itself, and those in control. Either by simply being large, or by trading the immense resources it can produce.

To the entity, the individual is no more important than a random cell in your body (left small toe fibroblast anyone?). And just like in your body, only a small number of cells get to drive the machine.

This is very different from a grouping of individuals, where individuals are merely cooperating towards a democratically elected goal.
I think this is a great idea.
I can think of four possible improvements:

1) Require a selection of one of the reasons when a downvote occurs (require HN cooperation & implementation)

2) Add a similar capability for upvoting reasons

3) Require a selection of one of the reasons when an upvote occurs

4) Add a 'save this' feature to HN, so an upvote is not used as a bookmark to quickly search HN posts you wanted to find again.

The putting two in a box isn't a mistake if it is handled correctly.

Understanding the technical architecture and managing and building teams as well as reviewing budgets and aligning to plans aren't two skill sets that are intertwined. It's very common to have one person great at one and another great at the second.

If it's made clear who is responsible for the architecture then it is clear who makes decisions there.

Likewise, that person can focus on the technical architecture and someone else is doing the people management, timelines, budgeting, and so forth.

What's the alternative? Promote the architecture person into a managerial role and have them be unable to scale the teams?

Or promote the other person, scale the teams, but run into technical issues and debt because there isn't a person owning the architecture and keeping the mental blueprint in their head how all of the pieces fit together?

It really comes down to getting the right people on board, clearly explaining the responsibilities, ensuring compensation is equal, and then having the two parties see each as allies on the same team.
Why? It's almost impossible to keep up with Microsoft (as LibreOffice shows), it's definitely impossible to write one from scratch.
How droll
The only substitute for a mob-mentality-enforcing downvote system is human moderation by heroes who can withstand such pressure and biases.

Perhaps a like/dislike button pair that just adds a single EM height bar in the thread with your username and a + or -, without moving comments around otherwise.

The issue is that technology, by nature, tracks what we do, unless it's specifically designed to hide/obfuscate your activity.

...and the progressive integration of tech with government means that government will have increasingly more access to data on individuals.

In my opinion, we need more decentralized tech.
It isn't as much that Wikipedia is perfect, but rather than I could imagine 100 ways in which it could be so much worse.

It is not perfectly nonpartisan, but compare it to the websites that are similar in popularity and you'll find there's no contest.
there are actual nazis, muslim extremists, antifa types, and all sorts encouraging violence on Twitter and facebook right now. right now you can go and find propaganda pages from the world's most repressive and violent regimes, like Saudi Arabia, for example.

When Uganda banned Twitter/Facebook for election interference, all of a sudden "free speech" rights matter to these platforms and they find it unjust.

you could argue the majority of the protest at DC was organized on major platforms over Parler. So why are we de-platforming major players through our ISPs? Why isn't verizon or comcast blocking Facebook or Twitter. Go get your own series of tubes.

Parler, like Twitter, has a team of people who work to remove posts in violation of the rules.

A political situation and some token examples are being exploited to take out a competitor.

And it just so happens that the Dems are going to chair all the Congressional committees that over see Silicon Valley, you're going to have a Dem house, senate and POTUS.

This right here is being taken advantage of to take an an entire wing of a debate and to tilt poltical power. And the populace is cheering it on.

Just like they cheered on the Iraq War and the Patriot Act.

It's a common bi-partisan tactic to blame the whole for the actions of the fringe and use that as a wedge. It's like how my Trumper father rags on PETA when he wants to complain about environmentalism. This is the same crap. Except at a far larger level, far more cynical an far more corrupt.

We're losing our ability for free speech, people -LEFTISTS of all people - are celebrating a handful of tech monopolies, acting in unison as some kind of cabal, led by a singular political party in this country - this is the merging of capital and state that you see in fascist societies, all the while shouting the loudest about anti-fascism.

Just like the Koch brothers shouting about liberty and freedom, things tend to not mean what people claim they mean.

And you're all a bunch of suckers for buying this horsepucky, hook, line and sinker.

I'm a Bernie (except on this issue), AOC, Nader loving social democrat. But "my side" is selling it's proverbial sole to the devil b/c "winning" means more than any foundational values that should apply to us all.

We're no longer agreeing on a even playing field. Democracy is up for grabs by both sides if it means one of them stands a chance at winning. And both sides only happen to see this destructive behavior in the other and never in the mirror.
There was also Intel's whole pursuit of frequency--they demoed I think it was a 10GHz chip at IDF at one point (and Itanium was essentially an ILP-oriented design)--and resistance to multi-core. Some of it was doubtless Intel convincing themselves they could make it work. But they were also under a lot of pressure from Microsoft who didn't have confidence that they could do SMP effectively--at least that's what a certain Intel CTO told me. (Ironically, multi-core didn't end up being nearly the issue a lot of people were wringing hands over at the time thought it would be for various reasons.)
Except when you come to a new company and find out they're using the new glory all over the place and insist you do too.

Much of this is the premise of 'unschooling', Sandra Dodd's conception of learning wherein students set the curriculum. I'm not a fan of a lot of her ... ways ... but the idea does have some attractiveness and seems to work well in at least some instances.

I intended this in contrast to your point above.

It could mean the algorithm designers have decided that optimising for fun is more effective at increasing engagement than optimising for shock value and conflict.

But, this is a different choice than other social media designers have made. It seems like there is some more wholesome motivation.
Depends on the other side, too.

Otherwise, a good question for Ubiquity, why they don't support IKEv2 (among other things), when they are using strongswan underneath anyway.

Will never work.

You can get stuff like this to work if it's pathetic and emotional enough (9/11 minute of silence, clap for essential workers from your balcony) and if it's low-cost (shutting up for a minute) or no cost (holiday). And that still is highly regional. Even "The West" are not that many people.

Sadly, your proposal checks none of the mark. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it would be bad or anything, but you know, people are people.
I can promise you this doesn't hold across at least some of "Europe". Take where I work, London, for example. The stuff places like the BBC and GDS (Government Digital Service) are doing are pretty cool, but companies like Monzo, DeepMind and Revolut are the ones people talk about, plus the financial giants like JP Morgan and Bloomberg.
Can you draw parallels between Zoom and Dropbox? Users love the product but it makes less sense for the IT department to pay for them when Microsoft and Google are offering similar and "good enough" alternatives for "free"?

There is a line in the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" about traffic accidents. One character says "we don't have any footage of real car crashes, but we know they happen." At the time of the story, no serious car crash had been captured on film. Now, because there are so many more cameras, we have plenty of such footage. A real phenomena should scale with the availability of potential witnesses, not shrink and disappear as more and better cameras come online.
SD in itself isn't technically unreliable. Lots of smartphones do just fine with eMMC, which is same thing as microSD card except in nonstandard IC chip form thus can't carry SD branding.
This is a steep hill to climb. Microsoft is deeply entrenched in enterprises with .Net, Active Directory, SQL server, all that jazz (witness how fast Teams sped past Slack usage). It's easier for Microsoft to roll out storage than it is for Dropbox to become Microsoft or Google.

Jobs was right, Dropbox is a feature, not a product.
I wanted to add this. We have had a nearly flawless experience and the macOS app is really nice and polished. It feels like a nice native app, which is rare these days.

> I don't quite understand how these work if a python project depends on separate versions?

For Python packages in the offical Nix repository, the packages AFAIK isn't auto-generated. In this case, Nix devs split out the common part of the package definition to resemble the following pseudocode:

def commonDefinition(version):
return {
'src': 'http://...',
'sha256': '000...',
...
}

packageV1 = commonDefintion(1)
packageV2 = commonDefinition(2)

> For the nodejs part I'm more curious. ... But how would security patches be applied across versions?

I guess this was a bad example, as I incorrectly assumed it was patching dependencies when it wasn't. But you can though, by matching package names. The Nix language is powerful enough to do this.

> thus each Go application is self-contained

I wasn't aware of the go situation, but this does seem to be the case. However, this looks incidental rather than it being a hard requirement. Many tools provide mechanisms to centrally maintain patches, which would work whether or not vendoring is enabled.
I am curious, since this comes from being a good critical thinker, is it provably true for each of these news sources?

"(Example – I have an advanced degree.

It's dismaying that even the best, most shining examples of unicorns that took off on the backs of good products and have stood toe-to-toe with the mega-corps, are now losing value simply because they're competing with the mega-corps, and being forced to look for acquisitions just like all the other startups.

If that doesn't plainly show that big tech has gotten too big, I don't know what will.
Knew the writing was on the wall for this company the moment I had to dig into a drop down chevron to find the download button for a file shared with me on Dropbox.

Making it frustrating to collaborate with paying customers of your platform is a sure sign something is rotten.
Well I’m sure it’s possible to attract really good folks at low salaries even in SEA/Japan/SK/Taiwan/India/etc. if folks are compensated with significant ownership stakes instead.

It’s about what the business owners are willing to do.
