Ken Thompson states that, initially, Go was purely an experimental project. Referring to himself along with the other original authors of Go, he states:

> When the three of us [Thompson, Rob Pike, and Robert Griesemer] got started, it was pure research. The three of us got together and decided that we hated C++. [laughter] ... [Returning to Go,] we started off with the idea that all three of us had to be talked into every feature in the language, so there was no extraneous garbage put into the language for any reason.
You feel terrible about it. The question is how terrible.
> This is one of the most famous straw man arguments made in software development and I've seen it used against a plethora of different programming languages -- each time completely missing the point that you can get bad developers writing bad code in any language.

This is a fair point since I wasn't very clear, and I am talking about something that's fairly subjective and abstract. I think the more claims a language makes, the more open it is to failure. I just googled is "rust difficult to learn", and the first answer is "no". It's all relative, but I am sure that most of us have heard that rust does have a steep learning curve. The only other language that I can think of that advertises itself as easy is python. And I think it has a lot of faults in those claims too. But python does a much better job of being easy than go does. It's completely different leagues.

Again, this is a messy point to make, either somebody understand what I am trying to say or they should leave it at that because trying to qualify ideas like this is fuitless.

> I completely disagree. Having fewer keywords does make Go simpler to learn and simpler to read other peoples code.

I really don't think skipping keywords like public and using casing makes things simpler. A quick google search shows that go has 6 less keywords than c. I mean, c'mon...

> I say this based on 30 years of experience writing software in more than a dozen different programming languages.

If you've had years of experience in old school c/cpp, then (I would assume) go will be a lot easier, and a lot better in comparison.
> You can also override import resolution to point to a fork (eg. of any module if using gomodules), if you want to test drive some local patches.

So much overhead where time is limited. I shouldn't need to fork packages, I don't want to fork.
> In other news, I have yet to make a single dollar from GitHub sponsorships, and I have several tens of stars and forks on my project. Who is going to look after me and my rent? /s

Heck, repos that are widely used rarely get actual money. Making money shouldn't be conflated with fulfilling a demand. Plenty of things fulfill a demand or create value but fail to monetize.

If paying becomes truly optional (no social pressure or pay wall), most people would rather not pay.

More likely that it will be used as a way to doubt the reality of a real abhorrent thing that some well established politician said/did.

In reality it will be both and no one will change because people don’t believe anything from the “other” side anyway.
While I wish my own Patreon were better funded and the issues in this space are real, this isn't going to be entirely solved by working only on the income end of things.

The US needs to reform its housing policies and find a better solution for providing healthcare for all citizens. If it were easier to find a small place to rent for less than $500 per month in the US, if it were easier to live without a car and if the average American weren't being bled for healthcare coverage, then you could live on $10k or so a year without it being a hardship. (Assuming single childless person, basically.)

Some people already pull off stuff like that, but it needs to be more widespread. We need to make "the basics" somehow more accessible for more people.

The problem isn't "Only a relatively small percentage of people make good money this way and those folks tend to get rich." The problem is that a high percentage of Americans are finding no means to really make ends meet due to a variety of factors that interplay in an ugly way.

It's reasonable to say "It's not really the fault of this one thing." But something needs to give.
If you ban import X from a country, the country will likely ban import Y from your country in retaliation. Sometimes the net effect would still be in your favour, but often times it would not be. Do you know why American brands dominate the US truck market? It started with a tariff on American chicken by some European countries and it quickly snowballed into much more [0][1].

Good catch. I should have either compared the 9 pins of 3.1 or been more specific in saying 4 pins for USB 2.

Fun fact: USB 2 Mini/Micro connectors actually have 5 pins (hence my original 4-ish statement). The 5th pin doesn't actually go over the wire, it's just used as a signalling pin to the controller that tells it if the plugged in device is compatible with USB OTG.

When working with React and Redux and Redux Sagas, I wish I could more easily figure out causal chains for what happens. When I previously did work as a game programmer, for most things (except, say, debugging why things rendered a certain way), you could just go to where the thing happened, put in a breakpoint, and you'd get a beautiful call stack making it easy to reason about how you got to where you are.

In my current web development work, using the aforementioned tools, where it isn't just one thing calling the next, but there's a huge amount of indirection and message passing, I have to spend a ton of time figuring out what set of events occurred, and where, and why, to figure out why I got the result I got.

You are right, that's how it was communicated by irresponsible journalists and politicians. They managed to influence the public opinion against the vaccine. Now many countries will have to deal with growing anti-vaxx sentiments and delaying the successful resolution of covid crisis.

That's not correct.

When you are in a firefighting role, your job is to fix the fire, not appease Jack and build relationship with him, the person whose practices created the situation to begin with. Unfortunately, even in those cases the highest level of stakeholder who engaged your firefighting service may not be willing to tell Jack's manager or Jack that he will do what he is told or he will be removed.

Jack's gatekeeping is what keeps Jack employed. The company's ultimate bosses will need to make decision if they want to remove Jack and solve a problem or if they do not care that much that the problem is quickly solved. In the vast majority of cases no one in the company who can fire Jack wants to be seen as a bad guy.

Anecdotally, I don't think half of those in the UK have had a day or more of ill-effects afterwards.

We do hear of those that get ill effects though, amplified by social media channels and press. You don't hear about the majority that don't feel ill.

This seems to be completely counter to your initial post tying weekly/daily work directly to profit to determine what is worth your effort and what to put on your resume. You even give SQL queries as an example, so I don't see how that's not trying to tie it down to the lines of code.

There's a big difference between:

1. I optimized SQL queries for Nameless Corp to increase profits 20%

2. I optimized SQL queries for Nameless Corp on a multi-million dollar project.

We once took a road trip to Bergen - after 10km in a tunnel, you turn left in an underground roundabout and suddenly see light. At the end of a tunnel is a steep cliff and you just drive directly onto a km long suspension bridge crossing the fjord.
All these things have known resistances and waveforms. They can all be diagnosed with a $5 multimeter and $50 scope. Fuel injection became standard closer to 88. It's not complicated. The systems are pretty tolerant and only need a few sensor to operate (albeit not perfectly). The precision required from various sensors and things is far less than what internet commenters will lead you to believe. Though if someone is gonna build something finicky of course it will be the Germans (requiring software resets when changing basic things is but one example).
All available research also points man and women are different physiologically, neurologically and psychologically. Yet if one goes around pointing that out to women for no good reason, some people will view such speech as discriminatory and will act accordingly. I don’t necessarily agree with these people, but that’s how it works in practice in many places.

According to US federal laws, religion is a protected class just like gender. You can’t discriminate people based on that, no matter whether you related to government or not.
While Carturesti started as a pretty well-stocked bookstore chain, the stock of actual books has plunged at most of its locations over the last decade (like has often happened across Europe), including the location in the linked article. Sure, there are still books lining the walls, but vastly fewer than there used to be, and now there are gaping holes on shelves. Eventually the owners found that they were making most of their profit off not books but what might be termed "hipster accoutrement": vinyl records, imported Japanese tea sets, boutique wines, bicycle decorations, etc.
Ts-Node RAM Consumption
The "new-modern use of a github module" is the same as for Perl. If a module isn't in CPAN you have to manually download and place in your project directory. Go just does this for you. And the module files in Go are on disk -- there's no way you could compile the project if half the source code wasn't on disk.

I think you'd probably have enjoyed Go more in the "old" days when $GOPATH was required and all modules were downloaded into your $GOPATH as it was more explicit were modules were and in a way it felt a little more like Perl with the file system being a more prominent part of modules. This was a very unpopular pattern for developers so things have moved on somewhat with modules now being pulled into a package directory. Personally I preferred the $GOPATH days too but it's fair to say the modules are still on disk.
It's not about either the particle or the lipid envelope. It's about the water particles containing the viruses. They get emitted when you breathe, and they are several orders of magnitude larger. The virus doesn't float around on its own.

The eyes are less of a problem because you don't breathe through your eyes. Only a limited amount of air contacts them, and no air is emitted from them.

Masks are at least as important for protecting others as for protecting yourself. They filter large volumes of air. Eye protection is useful if you're faced with people breathing directly in your face all day, but they're less important for people who can socially distance.

The only thing ASD gives me is a measure of clarity - because all of the hidden rules of society are not hidden to me, they're things I need to learn with intent, it gives me a measure of clarity into which rules are required, and which ones are not, when they can be broken and when they can't be.

I'm not gonna say I'd like to be normal, because I have no real construct of what normal would be like - but ASD also gives me one more insight, normality is an illusion foisted on people by society - all humans are some measure of weird, its just a question of how much, and in what way.

Ehlers-Danlos may have shown up anyhow, so that doesnt strike me as a downside even, if that makes sense, if anything you got a benefit by finding it sooner.

> Were semialgebras a right abstraction, or over-engineering?

I think that's missing the point.

The criterion should be: is the code clear enough to be easily testable, easy to debug, and easy to evolve?

I will take a wrong abstraction with the qualities listed above any day of the week.
There is such a thing as a walking desk. Linus Torvalds uses one. Never used it myself, though. Couldn't imagine doing any serious programming like that.
Having been a data scientist for a decade, I have yet to work with anyone who had a degree in data science. I would, in fact, encourage folks interested in the field to study economics or another quantitative-adjacent discipline, and focus on the quantitative aspects.
I'd like to see people start landing data science jobs without PHDs, actually.
There's a pretty big gap between "happily retired with enough money to not be worried" and having zero interest in ever getting more money regardless of the rate. After a decade a happily retired person who left amicably and didn't hate their job might even enjoy a short-term contract if you can isolate them from all the petty annoyances that come with a normal job. Charlie leaving the country shouldn't be a dealbreaker either unless you literally have tried to track them down and couldn't.

If the long-gone ex-employees hated their employer and would be happy to see if go out of business then you're in quite a bit more trouble.
> Our bodies were never designed to sit in chairs 8 hours a day for forty years.

Your body wasn't designed to do anything. It's the result of random mutations that survived better than other random mutations.

> The very idea of needing to spend free time exercising just to keep your body from falling apart is, well, preposterous.

A somewhat sedentary job with the option to take breaks to move around and exercise outside of that is still vastly preferable to any other combination. Non-sedentary jobs and manual labor will break and wear down your body in different ways, they aren't some ideal to aspire to.

Quite the opposite, I rip cyclocomputers off of every bicycle that I buy.

I can't be the only software dev that dislikes gadgets. I work with computers all day but don't particularly like them and don't want more of them in my house.

With that said I'm not against computers in ICE vehicles, the emissions improvements and yes reliability improvements they've brought are amazing.
For how much we spend, we can easily afford (aka minimal change to our lifestyle) to make electricity carbon-free in five years of we wanted to. We could charge trucking their true cost of road destruction and it would save us money and reduce CO2. We could allow dense housing neighborhoods (not force, just allow!)

There are many things we could which even save money, make people some happier, and help the climate... but we don't.
Sounds like they don’t have a business, and should shut down.

You have some written guarantee that Joe didn't zip tie some frozen hot dogs to his brake calipers so he could make dinner and stop his car? I don't.

I don't get why only Tesla should write engine software for their car, and completely lockout "Joe's all pro turbo" from doing the same. I can get a custom rom for my car now, so why can't I for the Tesla? I get it voids warranties, but not at all is a problem.
I had a shower thought the other day. When playing games it's often quite normal to lean left, right, back in the heat of the moment. (The good old falling out of a chair in the heat of the moment).

It would be nice to have some sort of simple peripheral that would allow to translate simple body movement and maybe breath patterns (multiple games have a button to hold breath) into controls. I know that VR is a thing but I think there is quite some space between here and there.

For office style work one idea would be to have an extended desktop with parallax.
It's bad if you owe money. And many people do. They don't want to owe more value because the currency becomes more valuable. (They would owe the same number of dollars or bitcoin or whatever, but they'd owe more value, because each dollar or bitcoin would be more valuable.)

And then comes the second-order effects. Each debtor owing more value means more of them can't pay, so more default. This leads to things like houses reverting to the lenders, who then sell them for what they can get. This reduces the price of those assets, which causes additional deflation.

When this cycle really gets going, it crushes lots of people - even responsible people, whose only mistake was getting a mortgage when times were good, and maybe a car loan and a bit on their credit cards.

I used to think this myself. However over time, and as the internet and electronic media has replaced my paper book habit, I've begun to see them as what they really are. Stacks of paper with words written on them. Some books are worth the space and the paper. Others not so much. What's important is the words, and those are available anywhere now in archives around the world.

Still, I can't imagine the pain of burning my own library. But in the end it will all rot anyways.

Automatically saving and restoring terminals with tabs and separate histories, per workspace.

I have found nothing yet that does this, or even just one of those things. It would be the killer feature of a new terminal emulator - and I see there are lots of them being developed, but none of them have this! And I can guess why: It's because of the maintenance work required to have this feature, and also trying to be multi-platform, multi-desktop and also the work required just to have a working terminal to begin with.
