I've never really understood why people ascribe such magical capabilities to Bitcoin. Bitcoin has really bad wealth inequality, arguably worse than the rest of America does.
go's empty interfaces reminded me too much of the bad old days when everyone passed around Objects to java methods. I hated it.

"The time has come to change Go, given what we have learned over the past decade of using it in production. -rob"

the reason this proposal was accepted is because rob and others liked this plan and said over a decade of production taught them it is an important thing to have, in fact rob asked wadler and company to help get things right for go.. so i would say you'd bet wrong
Just because the brick is able to withstand throwing it on the rocks doesn't mean it is not going to deform under load.

Brick strength is measured in ability to withstand deformation under load and as far as I know there isn't any popular "plastic" that can do comparably.

For a single story house this probably doesn't make any difference, but for a larger structure the load could cause bricks to loose shape, creep and cause the structure to fail.

Also, plastics tend to get soft rapidly at temperatures.
I don't think plastic bricks exposed to sun (Kenya?) would fare for long.

Another issue is that plastics tend to deteriorate in UV. That could be fixed with a good paint but it also costs.

(Edit: for the pavement this is horrible idea as the plastic is going to be broken down and dispersed in environment in large amounts)
I don't follow. How are they not filtering?

edit: I see other comments point to instagram. I think that is giving insta way to much credit. This is filtering as in signal processing. It's a common term in audio, image, and video processing.

>A company that will remain nameless (unless someone convinces me otherwise)

I'll give it a shot. They're going to keep doing it because they keep getting away with it. You've tied this to (I'm assuming) your real identity, so that makes it a little more difficult to call them out because they can respond. But if you don't let us know, we can't know to avoid them. Even avoiding spending time getting to a final round, only to be asked to do this, would be helpful.

They got you to work for free. They probably didn't benefit directly unless you gave them new ideas they didn't know about before, but you still put the time in. It was work to you. And they obviously didn't respect it at all, much less take the time to read your resume. Maybe they weren't even interested in hiring you?

The only saving grace for that could be an exceptional position with great responsibility and great pay. But even if that's true, they flippantly sent you through interviews for that position, so they're likely a bad company from the inside. They only way they would face consequences is if they're named.
Despite the title being misleading, I think anti-Asian racism is definitely still a problem. Imagine the same things happening to someone who is African American.

If someone created a restaurant listing with African American food stereotypes, or asked a person with dark skin what country they are from (despite no indication but their skin color that they are not from America), they would face pretty serious consequences, but it seems to be more overlooked in the case of Asian (and likely other types of) racism.
Well, we know now, contrary to what was said about generic-and-Go when Go came out: Go can apparently not do without generics.

What I always found hard to swallow is that Go's build in functions sometimes did have generics. Just you as a library/application writer were not allowed to create APIs with generics yourself.
I don't, I was genuinely asking. It would seem like given it's popularity that would be an issue. But, crazier things have happened when it comes to consumer safety regulations.

Anecdotally I've probably touched an open flame to synthetic rope, milk jugs and maybe a bucket or two in my life but can't say I've ever seen any of these items react in an uncontrolled or dangerous way.
Only if correctly registered :) it does usually work but I'm always surprised at how frequently they don't. I work with large amounts of them though, which tends to bring out the edge cases. Googling can be more reliable, and typically safe given how unique they tend to be (again, weirdly not always). A bonus is you may get results for related pages that reference your wanted paper
You are wrong. A lot of solar is being built because of bitcoin, they are not taking energy away from other enterprises but adding renewables to the pool. The good thing is all are benefiting, now solar is becoming economically feasible as an alternative to oil for example, that wouldn't have happened so soon without the demand from bitcoin.
Instagram started as imitation of photographic filters, then from the same UI they started offering the face modifying “filters” and everyone kept calling it as. Maybe Snapchat was before instagram?
I think I'm ok with this as well.

The developers behind Go have a really strong culture of taking a ton of time to implement any major language changes; very reminiscent of Java and C++. Talk around Generics began, well, when the language was first created, but even more seriously like five years ago, and it'll probably be another year before it hits production.

I love this. Language changes need to be thought through considerably, with all angles considered, and by going slow it gives major developers time to give feedback, prepare, and most critically not always feel like the code they write will go out of date in three months. By comparison, writing anything in, say, Rust (and JavaScript ~four years ago, its better nowadays) feels exhausting, because its a constant battle with changing culture and evolving best practices.

My favorite feature of Go is its characteristic of not carbon-dating codebases. Go written a decade ago looks almost the same as Go written today; Contexts would be the single major pseudo-language-level feature added in that interim which may give away newer code. Adding new features is still important, balance in all things etc, and code written after generics will give another epoch of carbon dating. Go strikes this balance in a way that should be a model for every other language.
>gold doesn't also become twice as hard to dig up just because mining equipment became twice as efficient.

it does, kind of. as we use up the easy to find deposits, the remaining deposits are harder to mine/refine, so essentially it does get harder.
Most of skills required gov operations are done via companies holding government contracts. Those that work for government directly for a low pay compared to what they could get in the industry simply aren't smart enough to figure out how to work via a 3rd party for a much higher pay.
What? No. Being good at presentations is IMO uncorrelated to extroversion, I have literally seen hundreds of them (science grad school, was in two labs with weekly group meetings and went to two journal clubs a week, plus lectures by visiting profs, etc) a rough estimate would be I've seen about 500 presentations, most presented by people whom I know and have a good feel of whether or not they are extroverted.
It actually causes ambiguous syntax that isn't easy to solve. See: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/des...

a, b = w < x, y > (z)

Is this code doing 2 boolean compares, or is it calling a function with "w" with types x and y?

I went to Stanford (albeit as a grad student).

The CS193* classes are electives for the undergrad CS majors. I think this one is popular simply because lots of Stanford students want to make apps for the phone they have in their pocket.

The core curriculum is based around algorithms, data structures, theory, discrete math, etc etc that you expect from a top university in CS. They use a variety of languages like python, java, lisp, C, etc to illustrate these concepts through class projects.

Learning the SwiftUI API is not a required part of the core curriculum at Stanford.

This isn’t publishers displaying ads and reporting how many views they get, this is to associate visitors with ads seen on other surfaces (Facebook, Google) for retargeting (show future ads to people who visited your landing page) or measurement purposes (for people who saw ad A, how many people eventually made a purchase?)

I never said there wasn't wider interest. I said the opposite, I said that the enthusiasts are activity looking to expand the number of people investing.

If you want to talk about previous conversations around this, the ones I have had always end in people believing that decentralization or cryptography are magical words that solve all kinds of problems without creating new ones. I have never invested in currency so the price doesn't matter to me. I assume it will go up proportional to the number of people that can be convinced to invest.

I suppose the question is, how feasible would it be for Intel to start producing ARM parts in its fabs?

Apple isn't going to keep x86 around just for them. But if Intel could actually produce Apple's M- and A-series chips, it might be worthwhile to increase supplier diversity, even if the ramp-up was painful...
That's cool, I'll have to try it out when it's in the bay area.
Perception?
Currency is a special case of this because most other things have some sort of inherent-use value independent of what someone will pay you for it. In other words, for most things, even if the most someone will pay you for it is $0, it may still be useful to you for some reason and therefore not worth giving it away for free.
What does this mean for a timeline on when we can start using them?
We’re already seeing more wrapped BTC on Ethereum, than there is BTC on Lightning, so that’s very telling.
Filter means to remove, not to add. Like `filter()` in Python or Swift being given a condition and a list and returning everything that meets the condition.
I think this is not what the parent poster was saying. The problem of bitcoin is not one of induced demand, where cheaper goods means that people become willing to use it less efficiently. Difficulty adjustment is as if every car monitored its MPG and then dynamically adjusted the engine until it became as efficient as a 2003 hummer.

When the mining efficiency is increased, that isn't translated into more bitcoins being mined or more people benefiting from bitcoin. The matching mining difficulty increase ensures that all that extra efficiency will be turned into waste heat.
My main takeaway from this article is that the author wasn't necessarily frustrated with spending 12 hours to prepare a 1-hour long presentation - though this does seem like a big ask - but was more frustrated that they didn't even get the opportunity to present it because the company was

> looking for someone with a few years of experience working with a specific technology I had never used. But… they knew that from my resume. And from my first interview. And from my second interview. And when they told me that I needed to prep a talk.

Shouldn't the company have seen this deal breaker before the interview process started? Or at least after the first interview or two? Acknowledging that the author wasn't the right fit would have saved both the company and the candidate the time and effort of going through an interview process that the company should have known wouldn't yield an offer.

I'm not sure if this is common practice, but I've encountered something similar, going through multiple rounds of interviews over many hours only to have the recruiter tell me that "based on your resume, you don't have the skills we're looking for in a candidate for this position". Why waster my time, and yours, going through the interview process then?

I don't think any of these rationales are very satisfying, but here are some possibilities:
1) The company didn't know what it was looking for when it started the process and came to a different understanding of the job requirements as the candidate moved deeper in the process.
2) The company is covering up the real reason they didn't want to move forward and "lack of relevant skill" is an easy excuse.
3) The company's recruiting process is immature/messy/sloppy/ineffective and they literally missed the lack of required skills until the very end.
4) The position had to be filled and the company wanted to maintain a backup candidate in case their first choice didn't work out.

I'd love to hear from those with experience on the recruiting/hiring manager side to see whether any of these reasons ring true or if something else might be at play.
This isn’t a new proposal. Go’s maintainers have always been clear that they weren’t against generics per se but we’re against rushing into implementing something without giving sufficient time to consider the options.

Personally I don’t think their time spent considering has resulting in anything better than if they had rushed into a solution (I’m not a fan of this proposal). But that’s just my personal opinion.
Those aren't directly reasons why interviews suck. IMO it's more that interviews, no matter how done/how well done, are a very imperfect tool. So we try to make up for quality with quantity--for the reasons you say. What you probably really want is internships and referrals from employees who have actually worked with the person, i.e. they're not just a college buddy. But you can't come close to filling every position that way.

> Most people in America didn't know who Trump was before that show aired.

Maybe most people who were quite young when it aired; Trump was a constant media presence from something like the late 1970s well into the 1990s, and sort of a pop culture touchstone for conspicuous excess as well as having a reputation as a successful NYC developer and prolific womanizer.
When the price is up, bitcoin adopters spend the year feeling vindicated for the 3 years of mockery.

When the price is down, they spend three years reassuring the world this is fine.

If you plot bitcoin price vs time in a log-log plot, you can connect the tops and the bottoms with a straight line.

I shit you not and this is at the same time very reassuring and satisfactory when the price is up and very stressful when it is down, as you'll spend 24/7 asking yourself and the world if it will hold this time again.
At the lower bound, that's 150 Billion "new" searches per year. There are approximately 50,000 unique english words not including names or misspellings. If google searches were on average for 3 words, it would take 833 years at that rate to go through all the combinations.

Alternatively, if we assume that google has already recorded 20 Trillion unique search queries (~ 1 Trillion new ones per year for 20 years), the odds that a query composed of 3 correctly spelled english words that are not names has been seen before is 1.6%. Even if we restrict queries to those using the most common 1000 words, there's a 50/50 chance of a query composed of 4 words being unique.

Of course people do not just type random words into the search bar and some terms will be searched many thousands or even millions of times, but still if anything the fact that 85% of searches aren't unique seems surprising.

Is bitcoin able to alter its approach from POW to POS or something else? If so how might that work?
This is a great question and I don’t have all the answers, but I’d at least like to see CEOs who put it on their balance sheet put to task for it. E.g. putting it on your books should be penalized by ESG funds. Elon Musk shouldn’t get away with greenwashing it through Tesla’s (possibly overrated anyway) environmental halo. Nor should California taxpayers be subsidizing electric vehicles if the carbon benefits are negated by the manufacturer’s Bitcoin holdings.
What you're describing would be a problem if they were studying only stuff that they can learn from docs and tutorials. But I'm sure that not every class is like this one and the students are getting plenty of exposure to theory and deeper knowledge in various fields.

>> This would be a reasonable stance if Bitcoin were just another activity, but it’s unique in its energy profile. What other technology is designed so that energy efficiency improvements are absorbed and nullified (through the difficulty adjustment mechanism)?

> Bitcoin is far from unique in this. When gas prices fall people have been shown to drive more. And buy less efficient cars and drive them less efficiently (faster, more aggressively).

I don't think that's true, or it's only true if you look at it from a consumption perspective that ignores important parts of the picture.

When gas prices fall, more energy is used, but travel miles increase. More work gets done per dollar.

When bitcoin mining gets more efficient or energy cheaper, the amount of bicoin "work" done stays constant, because the difficulty changes to compensate. It's like if roads got longer the cheaper gas gets.

Signal could add app-level encryption, but who would this serve? Signal can't do anything better than what the OS/hardware provides in terms of encryption. Even if they let you specify your own signal-specific password/encryption key:

* Non-technical users either won't use it, or will use a weak key

* Technical users are better served by making sure their device is secure and hard-locked with a strong passcode (tip: 5 presses of the lock button on iPhone wipes in-memory encryption keys, essentially exiting "AFU mode")

And many C programs just emulate them using crazy macros, that are harder to write and are less typesafe than proper generics.
The issue is that energy is largely fungible, at least when limited in space and time. Occasionally renewables are over-produced and can't be transmitted elsewhere, but often every kWh of green energy wasted on bitcoin mining is a kWh of non-renewable energy that has to be created to meet other demands.
Very much excited that this is finally moving forward. Such sweet improvements this will allow for SciPipe and FlowBase when this nears completion [1,2].
