Yep. I am fine with artists contacting me if they want their work credited or removed. I only did it because it seemed like a good idea to secure them somewhere.
I also haven't read most the discussion, but I'm kinda hoping golint / go vet disallow using the reflection stuff on variables with type parameters. A lot of the design of generics is intended to remove runtime errors (and C++-esque) compile-time errors that require you to inspect the body of a function instead of the function type). Casting a generic would go against that.
That has got to be the most frustrating landing page design... waiting 5-10 seconds for the slogan and the call to action to appear...
What’s the status of Structural Pattern Matching? Is it likely to make it into 3.10?

Agree that Mac OS backwards compatibility is atrocious!

I think another big challenge for Linux is battery life and sleep/wake on laptops. Last time I considered replacing Mac OS with Ubuntu on my laptop, I got scared away by reports that battery life would decrease by half.

I don't think it will be clear that Pfizer is "more effective" until we see the two-dose J&J study come in.

> J&J doesn't really need to be scaled up because they alone have the ability to produce so much of it.

I'd bet 100 dollars that J&J ships less than a billion doses before July.

Are you willing to take the other side of the bet? If I'm right, that means that they could have "used help" even though they "have the ability to produce so much of it."

Edit: Before you take my bet, which I'm happy if you do, you may want to read this:

I wrote an Entity-Container system that really could've benefitted from a generic Get function. Instead I had to write on for each entity-type, even though they were the same except for different types.

Most places where the empty's interface is used now could benefit from it. Eg. the json package could state it always uses float64 for numbers (except when you tell it to use Number).
Codegen can work around weakness in a language, but the key is a build system that generates code, compiles it, and then throws it away. Checking it in is a mistake, because you have to start reviewing it if there’s any possibility of editing it.

I don’t know why you’re so interested in defending the extreme privilege of people who have more money that you and the next thousand people you will meet several times over but enjoy it.

I don’t understand why people feel such a need to defend and worship those who have the most in our society while there are people who die from starvation/exposure/lack of healthcare in what is allegedly the greatest country on earth.

I think both of those are interesting suggestions worth trying!

About the audience voting thing, personally I think a curated list of speakers is okay, and isn’t necessarily going to be any more biased than audience voting. I would just prefer that list is curated in a way that is 1) transparent in it’s biases and 2) represents my side a little better (selfish preference).

I know I already mentioned this, but be sure to widen your criteria for what makes someone an expert. I haven’t done an exhaustive search, but I don’t see many artists, teachers, union members, organizers, members of the working class, local politicians, etc. in your list, even though they often have more direct expertise related to these topics than an opinion columnist does.
Let's ask the question the SEC is asking: what is the law and who, if anyone, violated it?
Some things missing from the official PR:

* This is specifically parental leave, not just general purpose leave. And it's only 6 weeks for adoptive parents.

* There are reports of people losing healthcare coverage while on leave - right after having a baby? Really?

* Reports of people being put on PIP after their leave was over, which as we all know is a threat that you might lose your job

* Reports that people are not pushed to use their leave and there is sometimes pressure to not use it (risk of PIP, “Boy, will you be sorry if you use it.”)

* Parental leave doesn't extend to hundreds of thousands of temporary, contract, and part time workers

I would also say it's not a great argument to say how much Amazon spends in aggregate going "above and beyond" on its employees. I doubt it really affects their bottom line in any material way.

$15/hour is also looking to soon become the minimum wage. I guess a pat on the back they did it before they were legally forced to. $32k a year is not what I'd call "high paying" though, even for unskilled entry level pay. Many waiters and bar tenders in big cities get paid a lot more than that.
That's an A-list celebrity, they're supposed to be the highest paid speakers. A top executive or professional typically makes 10% what A-list celebrity makes for speeches.

Apple and Google have more resources than just about anyone, and struggle to get this right, even though it is obviously in their interest to do so. I just do not get the idea that adding a bunch of other random app stores is going to somehow make for better user experience or security.

An obvious move for scammers would be to flood the alternate app store with fake versions of popular apps in the hope that a bunch of people would accidentally install them. Many users are not sophisticated and a scam only needs a few victims to make money.

The alternate app store would struggle to moderate against that, and since Apple has no way to reach in and fix it, they would have to cut off an alternate app store at some point when it gets too bad. And then everyone would lose their minds over that.

V8 is a JIT compiler, which has a baseline interpreter and progressive optimization. It's not surprising that interpreters have fast startup time. (Hotspot is the primary exception in this case, but a big part of its slowdown comes from the fact that it verifies bytecode before loading it.)

Fully agree that generic type system is nicer than code generation; however, code generation thankfully isn't the only alternative nor even the best. Rather, as previously mentioned, we can use `interface{}` which is roughly the same as using dynamic types for the relevant bit of code. If people can make blockbuster apps with dynamically typed languages (100% of code paths are dynamically typed), it's really not a big deal that Go makes you drop into dynamic typing for <5% of code paths.

I honestly didn't think about that! That might be an option, perhaps when espanso becomes more well-known in the community. Before that, it's unlikely that any change I suggest will make its way into the specification :)

Oh. Thank you. I searched for something similar, and maybe missed it, cos I was looking for the word innovation
Reading through the actual study, there were 752 fans surveyed, but 290 were fans of one team, and 27 were for teams other than the 10 teams they were focusing on, so really the analysis was a survey of 435 people. Also, the measure of affinity was answering a hypothetical question (a version of the Trolley Dilemma, except the person being asked would have to sacrifice himself/herself). So I'm a bit skeptical it's as simple as the study makes it out to be.

Anecdotally, it seems like it should be more complicated too. As a New York Yankees fan who was in Massachusetts when the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series (Major League Baseball) in 80+ years, it seems winning was a pretty big bonding moment for Red Sox fans.

I think affinity must also be different depending on the region. If you go to Boston, there are signs everywhere for the Red Sox and Patriots. In Seattle, everything is all about the Seahawks. In the New York area, we have multiple teams in the major pro sports, so sport-team-affinity and location-affinity are necessarily more loosely coupled here.
it didn't turn out to be harder than I thought it was going to be. I came into this in the 90s fully prepared for the idea of polygenic risk. In my opinion, most people who did molecular biology first think that way, while most people who learned mendelian genetics don't.

I had my genome sequenced a few years ago by Illumina. They had a big slick presentation, blah blah blah, ApoE1, etc. When the genetic counsellors came to my genome they said "huh. you don't have any risk factors". I checked and each of their risks was from an existing gene panel, so the WGS wasn't valuable (it's on PGP, if you want to work with it https://my.pgp-hms.org/profile/hu80855C).

I talked in more detail with the counsellors. Turns out, whenever they saw a novel variant that wasn't covered by a gene panel they were googling the variant and skimming the abstracts of papers.

It was at that point I realized the difference between research, PR, and actionable medical data.
With limitations imposed on extensions it may be hard. Also, developing an extension makes you dependant on browser developers. Thing that many felt badly during last years. So it sounds reasonable to create own browser. It is great it is possible, while it is unfortunately sad also that you have to do it that way.
By a translator, I mean a library that allows accessing data from different subsystems (either languages or OS processes).

In this case, the advantages are that 1) Arrow is language agnostic, so it's likely that it can be used as a native library in your program and 2) it doesn't copy data to make it accessible to another process, so it saves a lot of marshalling / unmarshalling steps (assuming both sides use data in tabular format, which is typical of data analysis contexts).
Hi! FOSDEM organising volunteer here. I'll try to to my best to answer your questions in a bit.
> a pro vs anti union debate with a corporate executive on one side and an organizer on the other would be informative and entertaining, and is uniquely suited to your medium.

IMHO, those are the last people that I want to read. Both sides would present the same talking points we see every where. There'd be a lack of meaningful engagement as these people hold little nuance in their positions. Or, at least, the positions they're willing to present in public. It's just each side hitting the notes to fire up their base.

[EDIT]

This article about Israel/Palestine is an even better example:

https://www.pairagraph.com/dialogue/8c47026d6af148588f3ad8f4...

There's little to be gianed by reading that unless you want to know the two extremes to the point of view.

[/EDIT]

As an example, take this one about breaking up big tech:

https://www.pairagraph.com/dialogue/ff5d6b5332124e59b081c5a5...

One side wrote "Break ‘Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom from Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money (2020)". The other side is wrote "Antitrust Law, which is the most-cited antitrust authority in the country". Predictably, the first is pretty bombastic and mostly preaching to their choir. The second is more nuanced and less definitive.
That 53 feet 60-0 is a Ferrari race car, which has aerodynamics that sucks it down to the ground, more than 1g of additional downforce. Often referred to as "they could drive upside down to the roof of a tunnel.

Years ago in Denver when they had F1 racing, I remember a news story about preparations the city had to do for the race, which included welding down the manhole covers. Because the amount of suction these cars make would pull the manhole covers off as cars drove over them.

Also, traction is more than just friction. There's a mechanical component to it, the scraping off of the rubber from the surface of the tire.

Also, as far as the 53 feet goes, remember that this car was extremely light, 1400lbs. The Tesla Model S weighs almost 5Klbs for comparison.

ARRAYFORMULA itself doesn't exist in Excel, but they did recently add support for dynamic/spilled arrays[1]. Which brings it close to (if not at) parity with ARRAYFORMULA.

It's not even close to as handy as QUERY (in ease of use or intuitiveness), but they also recently introduced FILTER[2]. Which can be used in combination with other functions to replicate a subset of QUERY use cases.

My pet list of functions that have me reaching for Sheets are the regex ones[3][4][5]. Excel's search and replace functions support basic wildcards[6], but anything more sophisticated than that quickly becomes infeasible, impractical, or impossible to replicate using Excel function built-ins and requires dropping writing into Javascript or VBA to write up a custom function.

That said, Excel has had a pretty nifty and powerful ETL tool hidden inside of it for the past ~7 years called Power Query[7]. This is essentially an entire app-within-an-app (and is a data processing engine in many Microsoft data products), complete with it's own programming language[8] and compressed columnar data store format. For anyone with a development background, you can easily ramp up on Power Query's language and do 90% of the work you need to do there, and obviate the need for complicated and fragile formulas to begin with.

I love this concept, its like a power user's knowledge base specifically tailored to consuming large amounts of web content. There are definitely power users and busy people who could benefit from this. However, I think the most difficult thing this project will encounter is making money, because it is too niche to attract a large enough user base to force Google to pay for default status (not willing to switch browsers). I hope that once they roll out their core knowledge base system they pivot to making a cross-platform group of browser extensions/mobile browsers to expand the reach of their service.

Insular immigrant communities who take no interest in local customs, or even worse, attempt to coerce local conformance to their own customs are generally viewed as rather contemptible in every country. If you can’t adapt to the local way of doing things, then you’re simply a bad immigrant. The western identity politics view that this is somehow racist or xenophobic is anomalous and you won’t find it anywhere else in the world. I made a lot of great friends living in SEA, and met a lot of locals who were very welcoming of me. But those same people would typically (and rightfully, imo) hold a rather dim view of westerns who moved in, had no interest in learning the local language, little interest in learning local cultural customs, and little interest in participating in local communities.

QAnon was a theory so mind-numbingly stupid that I've got zero faith that anybody ever really leaves it behind.

No doubt, but again we're talking about a single digit percentage of code paths, and again there are entire blockbuster applications written without any static typing at all. It'll be a nice feature for sure, but it's not like world-class software wasn't written in Go before nor will Go+generics be a "Java-killer".
One of my early childhood memories was crayfishing. You can pretty much put anything on a string and these things will bite onto it. They are not picky. It's not even really fishing, it's almost as easy as just grabbing them from the water. It's a fun activity for kids because it doesn't require any skill to get good at.

They are an indicator species. They are not known for tolerating polluted bodies of water and quickly die if the water becomes toxic.
I meant serialize / deserialize in the literal sense.
That's trickier - somewhere along the way I stopped buying books and just do tactical forays onto the net when I need a new bit of domain knowledge.

Details like how and why pixels work are much easier to understand and retain if they're in some kind of context. Gamers learn about pixels to better understand the games or their gear. Devs learn about them in order to control them. Artists learn about them to better understand why computers mangle their art. So maybe choose an area the grandkids are engaged with and look for something there that also touches on display tech.
There's no serde by design (aside from inspecting a tiny piece of metadata indicating the location of each constituent block of memory). So data processing algorithms execute directly against the Arrow wire format without any deserialization.
In the article you (auxon) wrote to avoid using type based generators and unbounded collections and instead write your own generators. Usually I find it more convenient to write filters on the generated types then create my own generators. As the post mentions, this can lead to many discarded inputs.
Have you ever considered how we could use the predicates in the filters to create Specialized generators that only generate inputs that will be accepted by the filter? You probably need some meta programming or reification of the predicates for that to work.
