Ruby and Python are notorious for being difficult to read because of all the foot guns in place. Monkey patching, duck typing, metaprogramming... and that's not even talking about structural limitations like the GIL.

Go is definitely more verbose and less "fun" to write, but it's 10X easier to reason what's going on in a large application.

Of course, it's also the correct kind of solution for some types of problems. If you need a compiled language (many do), the competition to Go isn't Ruby and Python, it's C++ and Rust.
It does sounds like they are deep enough in to stop things like replacement car keys, programming replacement body control modules, ECUs, etc. Not as dramatic, but Kia/Hyundai can't hold out long as-is.

It would look like COVID a lot of the time: life indoors. There would also be a lot of protective clothing and probably an end to practices like sunbathing.

The real disaster would be in agriculture where climate shifts and increased UV would play havoc. A lot of people would starve and there would be refugee crises and wars all over the world. Indoor farming or farming under plastic sheeting shields would become a big thing in the developed world.
Yeah that's one thing European cars do wrong. They have two separate controls: one for on off the other one for interval.

American cars in contrast have just one control: it starts with off, then does intervals, finally the shortest interval, then low speed and then high speed.

> It's 2 years now with new name, but they iOS app is still named: FREE NOW (mytaxi)

On Android it's even more confusing. Some time ago it changed from "FREE NOW (mytaxi)" to "FREE NOW (Kapten)". At first I feared that they were undergoing another stupid rebranding (or tried to do one to Kapten and then went back on it and I missed that). Turns out that was a company they acquired from the UK, which I assume 90% of existing users never heard of before.

This made me chuckle as I’ve had similar thoughts. It’s like being surprised when a Mormon complains about drinking coffee.

Good point, the appeal may have been the first time a human reviewed the case, I was assuming otherwise.
>good luck with your weird lifestyle choice

That's a good way of putting it. Furthermore, while the government is theoretically under some obligation to accommodate weird lifestyle choices and people who otherwise don't have access to modern technology, private companies have no such obligation for the most part. They can just say "Nope, you're too much trouble to do business with."
Because Muslim countries by and large are not in geopolitical or economic positions to act unilaterally in any way that is a)remotely effective, and b) not massively costly in economic and political terms.
> I quickly saw my team wasn’t performing at my level

At first I thought the same. But I then came to realise that people work differently, are motivated by different factors, are blocked by something not visible to me, etc.

And once all those factors where accounted for, I saw that the delegated tasks were done better than could have hoped to do. Sometimes absolutely so, sometimes given time constraints.

Incredibly rewarding.

In Ireland the app went from being Hailo to MyTaxi to Free Now. Personally I loved Hailo. It became a verb and it was common to say "I'm going to Hailo now". Now it's "I'm going to FreeNow... now". It just doesn't sound as smooth. I still use it but I really feel like Hailo was the ideal name.

For a community that tries to pride itself on good discussion I can't help but notice how awful the HN discourse is for anything related to economic policy. You have a thread where the original source is a twitter post talking about higher than average inflation and in that thread you have a whole bunch of people talking about hyperinflation. These are very different things.

But, first let's talk about monetary policy. The Federal Reserve has 2 mandates, full employment and price stability. When the Fed adds a massive amount of money into circulation during a massive economic downturn it's not because they're disregarding that second mandate. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Inflation is demand driven, if demand goes up and supply stays the same then prices have to go up. The literal number of dollars in circulation is meaningless if no one is willing to spend them. Adding more money to circulation increases demand which increases prices because people have more money to spend, this is how printing money can cause inflation. However, just as an increase in demand decreases the value of a dollar, decreases in demand increase the value of a dollar. This is deflation, it happens when demand falls off a cliff and it's very bad. The reason it's very bad is because it encourages people to stuff money into a mattress instead of spending it, further decreasing demand, further worsening whatever economic collapse got you into this mess to begin with, further increasing deflation. "Price stability" is a mandate that applies in both directions. Most of the money printing recently has specifically been aimed at maintaining price stability, not destroying it.

Since 2008 the average rate of core PCE inflation has averaged at 1.5%, below the 2% inflation target of the Federal Reserve. It will likely take until 2023 until we reach a point where core CPE exceeds 2%[1] at which point it will be up the the Fed how much they want to raise interest rates to control additional inflation. Please note that a 2.5% rate of core PCE inflation is hardly the end of the world and is close to what we saw during the mid 2000s. The 1980s averaged about 4%. Here's a historical graph[2].

It will probably end up this way.

“All outputs in the Bitcoin transaction with hash <...> are illegal to redeem.”

This, however, means that criminals (who don’t care about the law) can still use these segregated Bitcoin to transact between themselves — as long as miners aren’t punished by including the illegal transactions in new blocks.
Single words are often used when they don't really have much to do with the underlying product (Apple, Amazon, Mint, etc.) because it can be "branded" for that market.

TypeScript is a fundamentally different type system to most of the other mainstream languages (similarities exist only in typed racket and clojure's core.typed). The fundamental differences stem from the fact that it tries and succeeds to model almost all existing expressive dynamic JS constructs. The resulting different features include:

* structural instead of nominal types (i.e. if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it is a duck)

* mapped types let you transform object types into other object types: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/mapped-types....

* conditional types let you apply conditional type transformations, and combine with mapped types to provide the equivalent of for comprehensions https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/conditional-t...

* template literal types let you generate dynamic string types on the fly, which you can use in various places including property names: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/template-lite...

and so on.

It does have a learning curve, and the tooling is annoying to set up.
To be fair this would make a lot of sense. This isn't a new generation of CPU, it's a bigger variant of the existing M1.

You do realize the network effect right?

You mean that a bunch of your friends is on one platform, and a bunch of others on another platform, and your family on still another one.

But then you have to be on all platforms, so this means everyone else also needs to be on all platforms.

So how exactly do you see this working when reality pushes everyone to use a single platform? because you know, it's a social network.

Wouldn’t that leave you with a rather slim set of things to choose from to enjoy?

Most of the things I like doing would make miserable, low paying, jobs. And even though my job of programming computers is the most fun thing anybody could ever pay a guy 3X what he deserved to do it, there are a lot of other things I’d rather be doing much of the time.

So my personal plan is to minimize the time doing Work and maximize the time spent doing Play. Or, put another way, “I like climbing, surfing, and traveling. So I write software for a living.”
One of the interesting side-effects, to me, with respect to what you mention, is that designing things this way prevents your from accidentally building solutions that are hard to self-host. The boundary between "per-user" or "per-tenant" vs "site wide" becomes very sharp because it becomes a choice of where the data is stored, so it's always obvious when you're stepping across that boundary.

Yes, but then you could make entirely the same point about the US. But generally this isn't done, especially not here. That's what makes it xenophobic.
What we do have is proof that increased gatherings lead to increased transmission. We have, I think, a pretty reasonable assumption that holidays lead to increased gatherings.

So, a cautious assumption until data shows it's not accurate that "holidays lead to increased transmission" seems to me to be warranted.

Have you seen data that shows holidays don't lead to increased transmission?

Nitpick, but those 2 sentences are not logically equivalent:

while

"You cannot trust something reported out of China" = "Not all things reported out of China can be trusted"

> Why don't you write your own

I feel there are plenty of reasons to not write your own anything, from prioritizing other projects, not having time, or just not having all of the required expertise. As a student I'm lucky enough to be able to drop basically everything and work on this one cool project idea so long as I get my essays in on time, but that just doesn't seem to be something universally applicable.

> instead of complaining on the Internet

Where else would you prefer they complain? I agree it may be more effective to open an issue no the repo, but does that also count as `copmlaining on the Internet'? Talking to people is how we change things. In this case, that's contributing to the usability of technology that grows ever more central in our lives.

Personally, I think a focus on accessibility is a great focus to have, and it should be obligatory if it isn't voluntarily universal. There is no reason for our society to provide more opportunities to humans with perfect vision than to humans with impaired vision.

> In Go, if I see a call to `import ("foo/bar"); bar.baz()`, all I know is that ONE of the files in the folder `foo/bar` contains a function `baz`, with no direction on which it is.

This is a code smell for poor file organization in your "foo/bar" module - in a well organized project, it should be obvious which file in a module contains a given function[1]. Go doesn't force file=module paradigm (preferring the folder to be the basis), however, it doesn't preclude having one file per module, if that's what you prefer. If you're reading someone else's poorly organized code, you can always use grep.

I've seen research groups drown in their legacy code base.

The issue of juggling too many balls you describe is one you only have to begin with because the state of the art implementations are so shoddy to begin with.

I've found GraphQL to greatly improve the developer experience when building web apps. As a front-end developer you can easily get a full view of the data and relationships. Tools like GraphiQL make exploring APIs a pleasure. And regardless of what you need to present to the user on screen, you can quickly build a request that perfectly matches the data you need. There is also the nice addition of strict typing and there are libraries that automatically generate TypeScript types for you from the schema and/or your operations.
No. The credibility comes from the actual evidence provided.
Everyone is utterly dependent on cheap Chinese manufacturing. The price of manufactured goods would probably quadruple overnight if companies had to abandon China.

It’s not just cheap labor. China has all of cheap labor, lax environmental laws, cheap energy, a very manufacturing friendly government, a tech ecosystem, local expertise, and infrastructure. It’s literally the ideal place to manufacture, at least from an amoral economic perspective. Nobody can compete with China in manufacturing except in niche high skill areas.

Two instances, in two different companies that I can share.

In one case the developer was hostile to working with anyone else. This was a project that involved close co-operation with teams across three countries, so his attitude was a no-go.

In another case, the engineer was constantly slacking off, dumping his work on the other devs in the team.

In both cases I'd have several 1:1's with the engineers, and first try and understand what was going on.

I usually trust people, and when something like this turns up, there are often other serious problems, for example at home with family or with the developer's health. We settle these issues quickly through flexi-time, reduced workloads, sabbaticals, coaching, changing their scope of work, etc, and things turn around very nicely. However the engineers I wrote about above didn't fall into this category.

In both cases I had extensive 1:1's with them, to help both of us understand what was going on. In this process I'd get insights into the nature of each person, and that helped define the right approach to resolve the problems. I then set clear expectations that we would review each week. We unfortunately got no progress for both the devs after 4 weeks, and at this point I had to involve HR and turn this into a probation. Both flunked and were asked to leave the companies.

There's no set formula here. If faced with this situation today, I'd handle it slightly differently and more quickly.

AI is a new wrinkle in an old trick to distance elected officials from accountability. After the electrical blackouts last week in Texas, the weather-worthiness of power generation facilities was framed as a technical decision that engineers made, instead of a political decision to weigh costs and benefits of regulation. When the decision is framed this way, the public's attention is directed away from the elected officials who are supposed to be accountable, and for which we have created straightforward mechanisms of accountability. Public anger dissipates in a fog of uncertainty of how these unknown, anonymous engineers could be held accountable and what kind of accountability they should actually have. AI plays exactly the same role.

I can't quite follow what the article is trying to describe because of the heavy use of analogies.

A Google search makes it look like Julia has a mechanism where you can extent the sets of overloads of a function or method outside the original module. The terminology is different (functions have methods instead of overloads in their speak). I don't see how that feature solves the problem in practice.

>The other thing is RAM. Apple still has delusions of gimping it's buyers into 16/32GB for "Pro" level machines.

I'm pretty sure Apple knows what machines it sells, including to video and audio pros, and knows how many of them buy the 32GB options where they're available (in Intel).

Besides "Pro" is just a branding, not a class of machines designed for specific tasks with any specific guarantees.

Up until now, "pros" did just fine with 16GB or up to 32GB max on their Intel Mac laptops, so I'm not sure how "twice as fast" machines, at lower price, with the same 32GB RAM (but much more efficient use of it, closer to the CPU) will suddenly be a problem.

Especially if hardly any buy PC laptops with 64GB of RAM anyway -- and Apple doesn't, and has never, competed with custom tower PC rig makers, but to people looking at the sweet spot of portability, power, battery life, size, weight.
