> Thanks the "first principles" design of go mod, that's becoming increasingly unavoidable.

That's interesting, could you explain this more?

Context: I used to use Go a lot, but mostly haven't since Go modules, and I'm curious to know the details of the problem and why it happens.
You could get CRTs back in the day that were higher than 1080p with over 100hz refresh rates. I think some of the Trinitons went even higher res. It's only in the last few years that LCDs have caught up.
For me what made me give in was realising how useful the features would be in regards to ADHD, allowing for a new input modality that just straight up reduces the friction it takes for me to set a reminder.

It's routine that I will just leave an item and forget where it is several times a day that I take it almost for granted up until it causes me to be late going out the door. Now I can yell "Find my phone" (or wallet, keys, etc) and my phone is there. Yes I could go to my computer, go to the find my phone page, but there's just more friction and these issues happen to me all the time. The more things I link up to voice control, the more options I have in regards to accomplish a task, and sometimes voice is the most efficient means of going about it.

I can get entertainment like a podcast or music without a single screen being involved, which given that I inherently have low impulse control, is a nice separation of things. Or I can again, find my stuff without looking at any screens. Voice input can act as a lesser evil to screens.

Saying to just use FOSS and air gaps, because of how immature such solutions are, is effectively saying you shouldn't use these systems at all. The benefits of using the systems that exist today makes it so that the average person, like yourself, judge me less because I appear more punctual and less forgetful and more productive and better rested and so on. Being human, you are likely to disrespect me for being late and disorganized no matter what my excuse is, whereas you'll only disrespect me for using voice assistants if you know I'm using them, so it's a winning tradeoff. Just like how some will judge me for taking medication but only if they know I'm using it.
How is it determined if something is a call to genocide or otherwise a call to commit harm?

From what I can tell, whether speech in the form of "group X should be eliminated" constitutes a threat is still subject to controversy [1].

> Curious if you feel torn supporting the US highway infrastructure? It can clearly be used for to traffic drugs, humans, blackmarket weapons, etc. It can be used to flee justice, evade police, abets vehicular manslaughter, etc. The list goes on and on. Is it even controversial to support the highway system as is? Do we loose sleep over it?

IMO, this is literally a strawman argument. You're picking a very rare, extreme event and amplifying the importance of that event in an attempt to make an argument.

Following the implication of your argument (that we don't worry about a rare even on an otherwise good system), we shouldn't even bat an eye at Parler being removed.

As an ex-heavy user of teamspeak I can tell you that nobody cared about that.
My understanding from the “Featherweight Go” paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.11710 is that generic types will not simply be a synonym for interface{} because the compiler will be able to monomorphize them - they do not require dynamic dispatch like interfaces.
(also C++ concepts)
Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. There's nothing new to say about any of them and they inevitably degrade as they go—perhaps because the mind looks to conflict to amuse itself in the absence of any new information.

Yes, the GP comment went halfway there but that's not a good reason to go the whole hog.

As someone that grew up in Europe and immigrated to the US I can tell that at least from what I see this is largely true (that economic mobility is much smaller in Europe vs US). I do not know if that's the case statistically but simply comparing the attitude, ambitions and how much their financial situation improved of most of the people I knew back in Europe vs the people I met in the US it's obviously a large difference. And ironically I think it has a lot to do with the "brainwashing" you're talking about, if you tell people often enough that they can become anyone and do anything then a higher percentage of those people will try to get above their means which (likely?) means a higher percentage will actually manage to do so vs societies where they grow up being told that they should just aim for a government job (since it's stable and you can hold such a job for the entire life). Of course most people will still fail and of course not having a good social blanket means many people in the US needlessly suffer. But that said I still think there are a lot more people here that believe they can make it to the top and do their best to get there. It's a different mentality.

And another observation that makes this obvious to me is the sheer amount of options/companies here for every little product and service vs back in Europe. Which was quite overwhelming when moving to the US but it is a good problem to have, more options and choices is always good IMO.
A software developer writing guesswork on an infinitely complex social issue is hardly comparable to a scientist examining vaccines.

If the highway system was created purpose or was majorly used for traffic drugs, humans, blackmarket weapons, etc., and the people running/building/profiting from the highways support trafficing drugs, humans, blackmarket weapons, etc. then I would not support the highway infrastructure.

Another book from back then was "A Little Smalltalk" by Tim Budd.

http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~budd/Books/little/

http://rmod-files.lille.inria.fr/FreeBooks/LittleSmalltalk/A...

It was a bit different than the Blue Book, though version 3 was a lot closer to Smalltalk-76 and version 4 to Smalltalk-80. The number of classes and methods remained very small and the C code for the virtual machine is still simple and easy to understand. Several projects forked Little Smalltalk

If you consider that their aim was to overturn an election by force, then yes, it was a coup attempt. I think they were counting on the military and law enforcement rank-and-file (which overwhelmingly support Trump) to join them.
Freedom of speech starts at absolute, and then has carve-outs as opined by courts, specifically the supreme court.
People respond to incentives, incentives are created by systems, and systems aren't put into place by one single person. The "actors" that created many of the problems we suffer under are dead or dying - or quite simply, too rich and powerful to be easily or effectively held accountable.

I think I'm being downvoted because most of us that post here on HN are either thoroughly entrenched in the system in some way, or we're elevated beyond these problems which mostly affect poorly educated lower class people.

We have tons of FAANG employees that post here, tons of wealthy entrepreneurs, lots of startup founders, etc. None of us really have jack shit in common with poor disenfranchised people. But we better start making it a priority to look into, else I fear we're going to find ourselves in a very unenviable position.
This release is everything I have been waiting for to make the switch from Macbook to Thinkpad + Linux.

I plan to max out everything except the SSD space I don't need and I can be confident I have a computer that won't be obsolete in a few years.

Before with the 10th gen Intel CPUs and 16GB RAM max, it just wasn't a future-proof enough machine

I have a pre-M1 2020 Air and while the keyboard, trackpad, and screen are great, the upgrade to Big Sur has been such a pain and left a bad taste in my mouth, waiting on XCode updates just to be able to compile and install things. I can't wait to have native Docker either.
You have to remember that we're talking about a country whose police considered Wikipedia to be fundraising money illegally with their global donations based system, due to Finnish laws: https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-7144745

I don't think it's a worthwhile risk to take for Finnish open source developers to accept donations and think it won't be considered illegal by the authorities.
The 45W rating is hardly relevant. Excluding Apple, Intel 11th Gen Core CPUs are the fastest on most single-threaded benchmarks, whether they are configured at 15W, 27W, or 45W. In fact there is barely any difference in peak performance between the 15W and the 27W config.
They can't; part of the premise of the project is that they come up with privacy advances that are deployed network-wide by controlling both the client and the server. See Matrix for an example of how hard it is to get very basic privacy controls up and running when you don't control the client.

(I always come across sounding like I'm dunking on Matrix; I like Matrix. Different project, different goals.)
Leaving the shifting goalposts aside, you’ve failed to explain why compelled association, and loss of control of private property is justifiable.

My band needs a place to practice. Give me your living room. You have people over, so if you don’t let my band practice, you’re censoring me.
that's understandable, but it sounds like what you're really saying here is that you want to take advantage of economies of scale for products that don't make the trade-offs that most consumers actually want.
AWS is just one of hundreds if not thousands of hosting services. Is GoDaddy allowed to terminate someone's account? Linode? The 1 employee host I use in Chicago? AWS is one of the biggest hosts on the web, but they're still just a host. Other hosts exist and are readily available to move to, and there's no meaningful loss in internet availability between one and any other. The most likely reason that Parler can't manage to find a new host is that every other host now knows who they are and what they stand for, and will come knocking if they try to sign up and spin up instances. Parler ran out of giant megahosts they can hide in without having to speak to a person. On an internet that still hosts The Gab, Stormfront and numerous other deplorable sites, it's quite a feat to not be able to find any host willing to take you. That feat is pretty much relegated to child pornography and terrorism.

Let's not mince words: Parler knowingly aided in organizing a domestic terrorist insurrection on the US Capital. Anyone providing hosting to them at this point would be taking on a massive liability. Slippery Slope arguments about kicking off dissenters simply do not apply in this case.
I have LuLu installed on an old MacBook Pro and it does work well.

It comes with preset rules to allow most of the essential apps communicate with Apple but they can be overridden to stop my computer from even getting the NPT time.
Hm. I think a lot of people reasonably draw the line on speech somewhere after the protests & property damage that happened during 2020, but before action coordinated to take control of the seat of government/potentially kidnap or kill elected representatives.

I think they said it's spreading faster simply because no-one has had it before so there was zero immunity. Not because there's something inherently more infectious about this virus.
> AWS has alternatives

Yes, but we are seeing collusion

> It's not a free speech issue at all

Yes, it is.

> Free speech means you can't be jailed or persecuted by the government for your speech.

This is incorrect. You are confusing free speech with the 1st amendment.

The first amendment is the law that says the government cannot suppress your free speech. Free speech is not synonymous with that.

> Due process is 100% irrelevant

It is relevant to the extent that tech companies are operating as quasi governmental entities.
Rust has quite a few concepts you won't find in (some of) those languages like borrowing, lifetimes, traits, monomorphization, macros, type semantics around concurrency, (partial) expression based syntax, pattern matching and match guards...

However you can litter your code with unwrap and clone to reach the finish line quickly, but then you lose the two main value props of the language and likely lose performance and runtime consistency over other languages.
Ah the irony. Censorship for me but not for thee.
Please show me any evidence that BLM were calling for violence against people.

I don't know if you're gaslighting here or just not understanding the situation to compare it adequately, but 1) the BLM protests were separate from the relatively few who rioted, and 2) your comparison to think a growing amount of Trump's supporters openly calling for violence - and then attempting a coup to takeover the Capitol - are the same, then you're not a reasonable person; it's an apple to oranges comparison, not the same at all if you're actually critical and differentiating the situations fully.

Calls for violence are, what private platforms are determining on their own, not okay. The government is the one who shouldn't have the ability to say what is and isn't okay, and the government isn't preventing people, nor is the government arresting people for calls of violence - they are arresting people for violence or trespassing though - like at the Capitol; you're wanting to give this power to government to say what is and isn't okay to say - which is a mechanism tyrants need to succeed.

ISPs et al already are blocking or actively trying to filter for content like child abuse content - or do you feel such content should be freely allowed to be spread? Facebook et al are moderating to remove such content too.

Maybe you draw the line at pedophilia and child abuse photos but you're okay with people inciting violence? These platforms have drawn the line at people inciting violence - and not even that, but that moderators of these platforms were allowing it to stay on and not deleting. If Parler for example was actively and adequately removing such comments by their users, then these platforms wouldn't have deplatformed them.

Civil society is a thing you work for, you don't get there by letting people do whatever the fuck they want - just like if you're a parent you don't let children do whatever they want.
Most of Ford's car lineup, even in the US, was designed in the EU (fiesta, focus) or in collaboration with Mazda (fusion). Cars like the Taurus/500/Montego/MKS evolved from Volvo platforms.

Ford is pretty heavily involved in Europe. Cars are bigger in Europe, so Ford cars tend to be developed there, while trucks and SUVs are bigger in America, so design of these vehicles is largely done in America.
Thats a series of anectdata, which will happen in any data set.

>But we were sold Ebola by the media, and we got an unusually deadly seasonal flu.

The current death toll is after lockdowns, social distancing, mask wearing, staggered hospitalizations etc. Without those the death toll would be in the millions, how is that just a unusually deadly seasonal flu? A bad flu season is 65k deaths. Current death toll is ~400k.
That’s just the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen.
I want it to be thick enough to allow for proper cooling so the laptop doesn't immediately throttle as soon as it boosts. That requirement would pretty much allow for everything else anyways.
Java, Go, OCaml, Typescript (>=3.9) are in their own league when it comes to compilation speed.
It's very slow for the initial revision, as it has to compile all its dependencies. From there, if you add in full async/await support with a web server framework, you're looking at ~6sec iteration time. If you bring in LLVM's LLD instead of GNU or MSVC, you can bring that down to ~3-4sec. They're working on adding support for their own LLVM competitor, Cranelift, that should further reduce those times. It's only intended for debug/development builds, though, so you'll still need longer compile times for release.

v New Hampshire. I dont know much about this one (which is limited to a single state) but 1) it can be overturned by the supreme court, 2) if its an old ruling there may be an updated ruling 3) I have not seen the parameters that justify abusive speech, its probably quite specific.
Back in the day it was routine to change the compressor, or even repair the failed one piecewise (bearings, manifolds). Refill the leaked coolant and braze the leaks.

You can still do that on most modern fridges, but it's not worth the effort with appliance prices now. They also don't fail often these days.
I've been heavy into Go the past year. I love the simple interfaces they've built over some rather complicated things (concurrency, cross-compilation, networking, etc), which really do tend to just work.

I fear that Go will eventually turn into something where we look back and realize we've lost something important by gaining a lot of less importants. The impulse to change things is just too strong these days. C89 has done just fine unchanged for 30 years.

All I want is a C+=1 I can rely on for the next 30 years.
> There were anti-lockdown protests going on before that which were just as if not even more "greenlit" than the BLM protests

No. Public health authorities did not greenlight anti-lockdown protests, as they rightly shouldn't have.

> In the end multiple organizations reported that there were no noticeable COVID spikes related to the BLM protests.

Even if this were the case (I'm skeptical, so I'd be curious to see cites of actual papers), that indicates a failure on the part of public health authorities: they should have been greenlighting the anti-lockdown protests as consistent with public health, so long as participants masked appropriately.

NTP*
I'm trying to avoid my own bias here, so I'm going to come up with two examples that should be familiar to US audiences, one from each side. Take your pick:

- Impeaching Trump and attempting to remove him from office after the Ukraine call (which Trump supporters believe to be perfectly normal presidential behavior, and Trump opponents believe was naked corruption tantamount to solicitation of a bribe)

- The recent insurrection in the American capitol to prevent the certification of Biden as the next President (which Trump opponents believe to be the result of a legitimate process, and Trump supporters believe to be an entirely fabricated victory)

I happen think the former was a fully warranted reaction to a real (if ineffective) attempt to undermine American democracy, and the latter a reckless and contemptible reaction to nothing. It's irrelevant to my point, though: if you can look at either of those and say there's nothing there, then the other side is completely capable of reacting to nothing.

While I understand the motive for the article, should service provider companies really have to be egalitarian? What happened to the likes of "No shoes, no shirt, no service"?
Having unique features is fine, of course. It's when GNOME goes out of its way to make it impossible for DE-agnostic apps to "do the right thing" for ideological reasons, when every other DE supports some kind of lowest common denominator. Here's one famous historical example:

https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3685

"I guess you have to decide if you are a GNOME app, an Ubuntu app, or an XFCE app unfortunately ... It is my hope that you are a GNOME app."
First, I am not denying they were armed with various weapons, but asking about guns that was claimed.

I agree that people who attacked cops and watched it happen were willing to do violence. They should be in jail. They appear to be a minority of the rioters. That is all I was trying to say.

There was a van that had some molotov cocktails and bombs. These appear to belong to the rioters. I am talking about the bombs placed at the capital and at the RNC headquarters. Just because someone has a bomb doesn't mean they planted bombs nearby. I don't like assuming things like that.

But even apart from the number of pixels, why must screens be shaped like a letterbox? The only thing 16:9 is good for is watching movies, and if you happen to want to do that on your laptop, small black bars at the top and bottom really aren't any problem at all.

Questions like "do we really want a handful of unelected billionaires deciding what is acceptable speech" are getting ahead of the game.

First, why was it that these supposedly too-powerful tech giants could be intimidated into allowing activity that was clearly against ToS to go on for years before they grew a pair?

"Free speech" in privately owned spaces is a difficult problem. i would settle for even handed enforcement of ToS and a more transparent ToS appeal process.
