I used "dramatize" to describe the blog post (in such that the blog post was written) and then "overdramatize" at the end in reference to my own infinite list of annoyances with Go and the normal course of discussion on HN about proglangs.

The blog post does admit "Are these insurmountable problems? No." Learning it in 5 minutes certainly is a stretch as you point out, but I'd still say you can learn it in a weekend to a greater degree than any other language I use.

Though you'll notice my comment after the first sentences is a way to share my own thoughts on Go, an opportunity I'm never going to neglect.
Right. The algorithm should just identify videos that need to be reviewed, not ban them. It should also be a sliding scale. If a video has 5 total views, it shouldn't need a ban or a review because no one is watching it. Places like this chess channel with a million subscribers and hundreds of thousands of views per video should all easily get a manually review. Automating bans for channels with that level of a following is just lack of respect for their content producers.
One of my favorite books! The author (Umberto Eco) had an essay posted here the other day.
Yes, these systems are being used to formally verify implementations of cryptographic protocols, or implementations of numerical algorithms, for example.

Note that there are two distinct components that interact: (i) verification of proofs and (ii) automation of finding the proofs. The latter is very much an active field of research, but so far isn't of the level that it will prove most of your theorems for you.
If ahash is using multiple different algorithms under the hood, shouldn't there be multiple different lines for it on the performance graph?

This could be done via ZigBee, you'd plug in a transceiver to your home local home network your phone could connect to you or access via BT. Or maybe the keyfob itself can act as a ZigBee transceiver?
The fundamental truth received by mystics is: There is only ONE. It's interesting to see this convergence which must horrify physicists.
Climate change is the other big one, but given two different sources of great future suffering and dystopia, the one that's rooted in premeditated evil in the heart of man is much more distressing to me than the one that's rooted in stupidity and negligence (not that there are no evil parties benefiting from climate change, but malice upsets me more than greed).

But those are just my personal feelings; there's no ranking tragedies, really, and I feel equally powerless against all of them anyway. So take your pick on which one you're going to lose the most sleep over.

They haven't been a threat for centuries.

The USSR's been dead for 3 decades now.

They don't exist anymore, either.
Does Square or Chase have trouble with their trademark? It's not a big deal.
This doesn't feel like a particularly useful distinction though because we're not existence proofs for consciousness in humans, just ourselves individually.

It is not apriori certain that what I consider my conscious mind is a shared common experience of being conscious, since as you note there's no test for it.
It does exist, it's just not the shape most people think it is.

Older generations had different demographics, and white men are still in power from those generations... in no small part because they were the ones who were in the majority.

There remains a bit of blindness to the problems of non-white non-male persons among the 'ruling elites'... But these same cohort of leaders were pursuing a program of diversity, inclusion, and meritocracy over the last several decades.

To say white/male as default isn't a problem isn't exactly true (see, for example, how medical research has historically been conducted mostly on young white male volunteers), but to say that it isn't changing is also not exactly true -- demographics are changing in the US and the composition of institutions of power is also changing.
> Those planes probably have 3 or 4 engines.

They hardly do anymore. The remaining 3 and 4 engine airliners like the 747 and A380 are on the way out. Twin engines like the 777, 787, and the A350 are going to be the only planes flying these long haul routes going forward because they are just so much more efficient. With increased reliability over the years, ETOPS regulations have loosened up far enough that you can fly to/from any point on earth without being beyond the max range from land.
Electricity is not a finite resource. We have access to functionally unlimited energy from renewable sources which is becoming exponentially cheaper to convert to electricity, but it is a variable resource. What we need is not 100% renewables, but more like 500-600%. We need economic activity to unlock the investment in new infrastructure. Bitcoin is arguably the way forward for cheap clean energy, not the obstacle.

What I wanted to say was that Go was not a replacement for C, compared to Rust which could have similar performance characteristics as C or C++. The lack of manual memory management is one thing, but there are cultural reasons too. For example, in Go it is very idiomatic to return an error value as a string, which cannot be even imagined of in the C, C++, or Rust ecosystem. That's because as Go is targetted toward backend-level programming nowadays (which was different at the beginning of Go, when Go was marketted as a systems language), some minor overhead is acceptable if the convenience it brings is worth it. Go is full of such compromises, which isn't exactly a bad thing, but unsuitable to the lowest level programming which begs for an extremist position regarding performance issues. The mentality of Go is good enough for conventional programming, but bad for systems programming. And I think such cultural differences stem from Go's simplicity first mindset.
Or maybe cancel/ban chess, as it promotes racial differences and dispute settling by the means of aggression/opponent termination. A harmonized/normalized society may not see the color differences or military-style subordination with royal elites hiding behind sacrificial peasants.

At least make all figure look alike, gender-less and class-less and color them in random rainbow colors.

GNU has a compatible program, CSSC.
my point was that the author uses an example like search and called go not an easy language. so i was trying to give an example where it's not necessary a linear search or search is trivial ...
So the guy who uses the racist phrase “white savior complex” non ironically, who only admits technology is useful after it has undeniable global appeal, is supposed to be some barometer if a technology will be world changing?
Frankly, you can’t possibly know until the dice stop rolling. Just like the internet, or the barcode (look up the guy who invented it, his story is cool.)
Fact is it’s too early to tell what impact Bitcoin will have on history. Your self righteousness prognosticating just shows your ignorance of history, humility, and sound reasoning.
According to you something is only useful if it has already demonstrated its use, like the web.
Well duh, of course the web is useful. You’re not exactly Nostradamus with that one.
Will Bitcoin be useful? Maybe, maybe not.

Of course, I guess "this is actually just a concept now but we promise it will be meaningful in the future" is actually something HTTP 402 has in common with Project Xanadu. (zing!)
Excellent comment that will likely get downvoted into the oblivion here.

Somehow nuclear waste is a huge problem, but waste from silicon production and decomissioning of solar panels isn't waste.

Roof-solar is probably okay, but replacing baseload with batteries is so far-fetched, I'll believe it when i see it.

Windmills impact microclimate as well, kill off birds by millions - everyone ignores that.

Why is it ok for windmills to destroy climate and life? Since when that became the preferred way to destroy ecosystems?

Probably because that’s in accurate and reductionist:

> While children appear to be largely spared the direct mortality impacts of COVID-19, the indirect effects stemming from strained health systems and disruptions to life-saving health services such as immunization and antenatal care, can result in devastating increases in child deaths. The pandemic threatens to reverse decades of progress made around the world toward eliminating preventable child deaths. According to a study covering 118 low- and middle-income countries by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, an additional 2 million under-five deaths could occur in just twelve months due to reductions in routine health service coverage levels and an increase in child wasting.

Children are suffering because of strained healthcare systems, which isn’t because of their city being locked down. Reduction in routine healthcare could be caused by lockdown but it’s just as likely that parents are choosing to put off care out of fear (as a personal choice, not mandated) or because they can’t get it because the place they would go to is too busy because of Covid patients.
The reason for this is that the USD is the global reserve currency. The petrodollar (OPEC only trades oil for dollars) is kinda how we solidified it. However, being the global reserve currency forces you to be a net importer. You have to run trade deficits. Running trade deficits is not sustainable over the long term [1] and we're probably nearing the end of it.

So we should continue to invest in defense because it is a massive industry for the US. To solve the trade imbalances though, the dollar should be weakened (it may occur naturally). That will allow us to rebuild our manufacturing base as our products will be more competitive on the international stage.

Additionally, right now we're in a low interest rate period of the long term debt cycle and will probably remain there for about a decade (at least). This is great because it means there is a ton of money exiting bonds looking for yield. There is a lot of capital ready to invest in projects. Combined with a weaker dollar, we're at a critical point for on-shoring and rebuilding US manufacturing.

I'm pretty hyped about the next 10 years for this reason. It will allow us to shore up the DoD supply chain as we currently rely on adversaries for defense critical parts.

There is a very active community around Lean ranging from mathematicians with no clue about computers to AI researchers trying to improve the automation. These AI researchers have explicitly said that bigger training sets will be very helpful.
But like the sibling comment says, AI is not the main point.
The fact that Go supports channels, buffers and workers means it's very much tailored to parallel processing. I always thought of it as a soft of worker farm except it's running on a single machine. You can run it in a multi-node environments as well, of course. I find the parallelism feature of Go so powerful that it overshadows its other features. For server side there are already many really well designed systems that allow for parallelism, Apache, Nginx, Kubernetes, RabbitMq... For client side parallelism maybe useful in things like games but even then there are frameworks better suited to take advantage of parallelism offered by GPUs. I like Go for command line apps, it's a much faster alternative to Python.

I am on a list at Harvard where they send out request to participate in studies covering many subjects, including social issues. I've probably participated in several hundred studies. The one thing I've noticed is that there is a subtle bias against conservatism that shows through in many of the questions. I think it is to be expected as the vast majority of universities have a left leaning bias, tough.
So I grew up in Wenatchee, right across the river from East Wenatchee. I remember when this started in about 2016. I can't speak for east wenatchee but the downtown got a lot nicer, and people generally gut wealthier in Wenatchee. It could also be the more serious etablishment of the wine industry in the columbia river valley. Maybe it was the expansion of tourism? Or perhaps it was just that the economy of the united states at large was improving.

Also all the energy in that town is hydro so if we're going to spend all this energy on bitcoin it may as well be non-emissions energy.

Your code removes by index. This can be done in one line in Go:

list = append(list[:i], list[i+1:]...)

but to remove by value you need a loop.
Is an astoundingly extreme claim. First we have to accept the premise that live music is “dead”. Second it’s due to some orthogonal factor like a smoking ban as opposed to recorded music becoming way more accessible through technology.

It’s an extreme claim with very little rigor.

As a user, my response is simple: I don't use software that's built that way. Outside of code that I write myself, I simply refuse to use software that's not accompanied by a distribution and maintenance infrastructure that I trust. For most software, that means it's packaged by my distro. Some big players might be able to convince me to take their software from them directly, but they will be very few, because there are very few big players that are as reliable as my distro, and that's the standard they have to meet.

Why not simply use an off-the-shelf frame? As others have already said, the bezel is very big compared to the whole product. I'm sure you could find something that would look nice enough, and cost you far less than any custom-made wood frame (and assembly thereof).

This seems like a wonderful idea to me - although only usable in many cases if it has wifi (I don't see any mention of connectivity on the page). FWIW, the price point is also about double what I would personally consider paying for it.
Knowing nothing about this (I'd never heard of Xanadu before), it honestly sounds really sad.

> In 2016, Nelson was interviewed by Werner Herzog in his documentary, Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World. "By some, he was labeled insane for clinging on," Herzog said. "To us, you appear to be the only one who is clinically sane."[12] Nelson was delighted by the praise. "No one has ever said that before!" said Nelson. "Usually it's the other way around."

I am not commenting on whether or not he is working on something important. It just seems after so many decades of...very little, you may be so deep into the sunk cost fallacy that it's almost a miniature mental illness.

I wish him all the best, but this sounds like one of those really sad stories that you'll read 50 years after he's dead and just feel bad for the guy.

I can suggest that the carrot and parsnip were probably different in the ancient world. There is a weird confusion around the Latin "pastinaca", given as "parsnip" because in antiquity, the two vegetables looked similar (white/purple). Further, Latin doesn't seem to have a distinct word for "carrot" (with an attested usage, at any rate).

I love technology. I think it's great. I think it's the bee's knees.

My house thermostat is failing. Many segments on the display don't work, the programmable bits no longer work, I woke up to a frigid house last week.

I went on amazon.com and looked at thermostats. Internet connectivity galore, fancy phone apps, full color LCD displays, dashboards and logging, the works.

I bought an $18 model that has a weekend/weekday programmable schedule. I know I can't trust these vendors. They care entirely too little about my security.

Some day I may sit down and build myself arduino-based thermostat, but that day is not today.
> In theory, yes, exponential growth of the economy can’t continue forever. But the hard limits are so far away that for almost all practical purposes today they can be treated as infinite. The limits only seem close when restricting one’s view to current technologies. But we have been consistently breaking technological limits for hundreds of years.

I think you dismiss this argument against exponential growth too easily. Yes, we've always been able to escape resource exhaustion in the past with better technology, but isn't the mantra of "progress studies" that technology is stagnating and that we can no longer sustain the exponential growth we've become so used to?

Reading techno-optimist viewpoints -- whether of the singularitarian flavor or the recent progress studies bent -- I always feel they do themselves a disservice by not taking more seriously the fact that for every species except modern humans, exponential growth has always been the beginning of a logistic curve, not something that can be sustained indefinitely. Yes, we are exceptional, but we are still subject to the laws of nature.

This is also where progress studies loses the veneer of a scientific inquiry and becomes revealed as a religion or a political party: the message is that exponential growth can and should be continued indefinitely, if only the powers-that-be are willing to pour ever-increasing amounts of resources into our technology projects.
I did not intend to imply that intrinsic racial differences caused the issue. In fact my suggestion of solving the issue should imply the opposite.

https://www.confluent.io/blog/turning-the-database-inside-ou... might be interesting if you haven't seen it already. The way I see it RDBMSes already had most of the tech, but they wrap it up in an opaque black box that can only be used one way, like those automagical frameworks that generate a full webapp from a couple of class definitions but then fall apart as soon as you want to do something slightly specialised. So the data revolution is really about unbundling all the cool RDBMS tech and moving from a shrinkwrapped database product to something more like a library that gives you full control over what happens when, letting you integrate your business logic wherever it makes sense.
Btw read your new comment below mine. Thank you for being a good sport about all this. Please note, I will never personally attack someone I disagree with. I just get a bit heated sometimes. :)
Nim is an impressive undertaking, though I was sheepishly overwhelmed when I tried using it for a quick project and realized I might have to spend 30 more minutes reading the docs than writing cowboy code. It's quite a big language: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html

To what do you refer, that is not a "huge complicated nuclear reactor" but also is not an RTG?

There are and have been fission reactors in space already. RTGs seem to typically be in the hundreds of watts, while the reactors are more in the kilowatt range.

The reactors are not RTGs, and they are definitely a lot more complex.
