What's so hard to understand? Go combines static typing, green threads, garbage collection, and lower-level control over memory [1]. These aren't new ideas. It could have been more ambitious. But it's the only mainstream-enough-to-be-useful language that offers that combination of things, making it useful for certain classes of problems (obviously not your problems).

To compare to the "PhD level languages", last I checked:

Kotlin: no green threads or low-level memory control

Swift: no GC, green threads, reflection

TypeScript: no threads of any kind or low-level memory control

Objective-C: I've used this extensively. It was even more verbose than Go, the non-C parts were less efficient, and it even had a similar primitive type system (although it got a few more features at the end of its life). Also no GC or green threads.

I get that you hate using Go, but your Go-developers-are-just-idiots take that you post every thread is basically just flamebait at this point. It's currently a useful tool for problems where Kotlin is too high level but don't need C++. In a few years the JVM will probably have value types and fibers, and Go will have generics, and maybe then it will be possible to compare apples-to-apples.

[1] value types, explicit pointers, default buffer/list type that can refer to arbitrary memory ranges, etc

I wish I could agree but you're misrepresenting history and fail entirely to understand the UN's main purpose. Not just the failure of the League of Nations was reason for the founding of the UN, it was definitely also designed as a way to bring opposing blocks of the East and West to the table. The path of the Cold War was very clear and present at the time the UN was founded. People at RAND Corporation were discussing whether the US should attack Russia with a series of nuclear strikes in a "preventive war."

The main goal of the UN was (and still is) to prevent WW3 and the destruction of humanity, that's why maintaining peace is its main goal. I'm sure your grandfather told you that but maybe you don't remember it.

Building your own "replacement" is kind of silly. Not only are there already plenty of such organizations that only include allied countries (on all sides), they could not possibly replace an organization whose purpose is to bring all nations to a common table - especially those nations who are not befriended with each other.

A platform to meet and talk outside of mere bilateral diplomacy is a prerequisite for preventing large scale wars and conflicts, and that's the primary reason why the UN exists. Read the UN preamble.
So where’s the outrage? Did people believe her? It doesn’t seem like it.

Is this new? Didn’t OJ get off partly by painting the police as racist (accurately or not)? But still didn’t work with the public that believes he’s guilty?

Isn’t there a long history of insulting your oponents using all sorts of reasons? Is the fact that guilty/bad people have always tried to avoid and shift blame mean the shields they try and use are bad things?

It seems like this is just another attempt to hijack the discussion with conservative outrage hobby horses.

I collaborated on some mods and reviews so I have some context on the high-level (scripting) part of the game, which comprises mostly everything that is not engine related. Feel free to ask any questions.

It's a passion project with a lot of attention given to historical acuity.

This release saw a lot of balance fixes (that didn't get much love in the trailer) and a process to release in faster (6-months) cycles - compared to 2 years taken from a23-a24.

It established a baseline for great improvements coming on the next version, in particular faction (civ) differentiation and faster gameplay.

It wasn't a tiny bat, or a lab accident that changed the course of the world.

It was a corrupt non democratic government trying to hide it under the carpet, in similar fashion that a similar government in USSR try to hide under the carpet the biggest nuclear accident in its time.
There are a lot of reasons not to deploy DNSSEC. That it's much more dangerous than TLS is just one of them. It would be better for the Internet if we scrapped DNSSEC and started from scratch with a service model that acknowledges what the Internet of 2020 (or, if we can't be that ambitious, 2005) actually looks like.

7.7s is not "crawling" to boot. I don't think I've owned a computer that boots faster than that, and I've owned a few fancy, expensive computers over the years. I remember spending a long time optimizing the boot sequence for one of my desktops years ago and I might have gotten close to that... but 7.7s is perfectly fine for something that is neither a microcontroller nor a cloud VM that has no real hardware to initialize.

I just measured, and my M1 MacBook Air takes 32 seconds to boot to the unlock screen, and then a further 8 seconds after the password is entered before it reaches the desktop. As I'm sure you're aware, the M1 processor is no slouch, and Apple includes an NVMe SSD with respectable (though not mind blowing) performance in this laptop.

> Abstract—We show that it is possible to write remote stack buffer overflow exploits without possessing a copy of the target binary or source code, against services that restart after a crash. This makes it possible to hack proprietary closed-binary services, or open-source servers manually compiled and installed from source where the binary remains unknown to the attacker. Tra- ditional techniques are usually paired against a particular binary and distribution where the hacker knows the location of useful gadgets for Return Oriented Programming (ROP). Our Blind ROP (BROP) attack instead remotely finds enough ROP gadgets to perform a write system call and transfers the vulnerable binary over the network, after which an exploit can be completed using known techniques. This is accomplished by leaking a single bit of information based on whether a process crashed or not when given a particular input string. BROP requires a stack vulnerability and a service that restarts after a crash. We implemented Braille, a fully automated exploit that yielded a shell in under 4,000 requests (20 minutes) against a contemporary nginx vulnerability, yaSSL + MySQL, and a toy proprietary server written by a colleague. The attack works against modern 64-bit Linux with address space layout randomization (ASLR), no-execute page protection (NX) and stack canaries.

Lists work really well for me. Some popular lists like this[1] is a great place to start. Also on each film's page at the bottom, you can find lists it is on. So if you like a movie particularly well, you can find similar one in those lists. Most of the lists are not generic genre/actor/director based so I find really good stuff there.

>Those are the exact same things

No, they are not. "Moral authoritarianism" is a judgmental label, putting equality sign between a democratic mechanism of protecting human rights and authoritarian rule, which is by definition undemocratic. A logical fallacy hidden behind a There's no place in a constructive discussion for such language, because it is not just untrue, but also offensive.

>Why?

There's plenty of historical evidence on how hate speech supports transition of society to a tyranny. Germany 1930s is the most obvious one (and the reason, why freedom of speech is restricted in modern Germany), but there are many many others. On the other side, there is not much evidence that ultimate freedom of speech results in more prosperous and democratic society.
> This statement cannot be made from the link you posted. This is a rate. A frequency rate among sampled data. However it does not track the number of samples occurring.

It does. Click the link [1]. Figure 2 [2] shows the number of samples. They explain it clearly:

> The FilmArray RP test utilization rate (TUR) metric is defined as the non-normalized number of RP patient test results generated each week across the Trend sites (computed as a centered 3-week moving average).

"Non-normalized number of RP patient test results" => count of samples

> To calculate the pathogen detection rate (as displayed in Figure 2 [second data view] and on the Trend website), we compute the rate for each organism at each institution as a centered 3-week moving average

They calculate positive rates for each pathogen, using the the number of samples as the denominator.

> They are averaging rates of infection.

They are not. They are computing an unweighted average rate across sites. Look at figure 2. Read the text again.

This surveillance data is showing you that the rate of samples positive for rhinovirus in their network is ~unchanged. The rate of influenza has disproportionately declined. There is nothing wrong with the data.

Microsoft to Acquire Discord for $10B
Browsers implemented DNSSEC years ago, and then struck their support. A lot of the things DNSSEC proponents believe it's good at don't actually hold up in the real world; for instance, you can't practically deploy DANE without creating a scheme where the DNS simply becomes another CA that has to be trusted alongside all the others, and one you can't revoke when misissuance occurs.

It's funny to watch as the "serious" efforts to get some semblance of DANE working all involve some variant of stapling to bypass the actual DNS. DNSSEC is a weird, clunky, 1990s PKI that has been trying desperately for decades to find some reason to exist, even if that reason has nothing to do with the DNS.

A thing to pay attention to with European DNSSEC adoption is that it tends to happen at the registrar, automatically, without customer opt-in. The registrar controls the customer zone keys. That's security theater.

I think this hits the nail on the head, many people don't acclimatize because they live in their own artificial climate where they leave an air conditioned home, get in an air conditioned car to go to an air conditioned workplace. I grew up in areas comparable to the one's GP listed long before air conditioning was common and walking places was normal.

The pangolin seems to be the bridge species. Bats have tons of coronaviruses, but none of them usually infect humans. The question is which animal bridged the gap.

Kinda like how the Mink was going to become the bridge-species in Denmark (humans infected Minks with COVID19... and then the mink was probably going to infect another species after that).
The UN is by design, not supposed to be a world government, or a world police.

It's supposed to be a forum for countries to talk to eachother. And it's pretty successful at being that.

> it's a language for the person who has to come along and take over their codebase after they leave.

Hard disagree. I'll grant that in the trivial case , basic cli apps that have to do one thing, the maintainability of go is high, maybe even a very simple microservice.

But once you get something more inherently complex, especially if it must do concurrency in all but the most trivial of things (especially as you get concurrent requests that must handle faults, say from a crappy network or a 3rd party system) the language is far, far less easy to get a mental model of, much less debug in anger (or with a system in prod), or even write tests. In my experience, go tests are terribly illegible, often my go coworkers just don't write them, which is worse.

Maybe I've just been spoiled by elixir (relevant given the OP topic). And for the record, I've inherited a codebase that has gone through three-ish teams. I work on my corner and I can be fairly sure that the changes I make, features I build are isolated and safe. And this is even with parts of the codebase that I cringe at (and over time I gradually refactor them, with confidence). I have all the tools to ameliorate the team code, and even for the crap parts, reading isn't hellish, and refactoring feels good.

Ask HN: Sample applications for cross-language comparison
Is there a mid-sized project or set of projects that are comparable across languages? I've been looking at different spell checking libraries, but would prefer something closer to a standard business app warts and all.

I'm actually quite the opposite.

With every day bringing more and more construction. Tearing down of historically important buildings for new contemporary condos and gentrification - cities have lost their soul to me. Its not there's nothing new to discover, for me, its the replacement of places people once wanted to go to.

I actively seek out abandoned places now. I try and think about what it was like when it was new, people bustling about. Or that abandoned mansion. How did those people live? Can I imagine what it was like to live in a huge house like that?

We have such a disposable culture now - architecture included, it has prompted me with a sense of nostalgia to seek out what has been left behind and why.

Covid was detected in China and the world was alerted. Most other countries didn’t even react, though. That’s hardly on China.

From the data we have so far, it was already present and undetected in Europe the year before. It may have originated in Europe, but that isn’t yet clear.

I don't understand anyone complaining about the UN not having teeth. The purpose of the UN was never to be a 'one world government', that's just propaganda from the black helicopter people. The purpose of the UN is to provide a forum for the member nations. That's it.

Unrelated, but anecdotally whenever I hear someone going off on the UN for being toothless, they're usually the same people would be first in line to push back on giving it teeth.

For example, I've personally known many people from a certain country (not America, although that probably applies too) that has a terrible human rights record, that has frequently gotten called out in the UN by fellow members. They'll roll their eyes and talk about how useless and toothless the UN is. But they don't want it to be more effective; in their case they have bad feelings towards the UN because of its complaints about their own country's human rights record. They can't or don't want to defend their country against those complaints, so their nationalism requires them to instead attack the messenger (the UN). And ironically, the very thing they attack it for is its inability to enforce its will on their own country.

Long story short, there's a lot of stuff to complain about when it comes to the UN, but anecdotally it sure seems like most of the complaints about its toothlessness comes from people who want it to go away altogether, not people who want to give it more teeth. I don't think I've ever heard anyone (including pro-UN people) argue that it should have more teeth or evolve into a supergovernment or anything. It always has been a forum and a means for governments to cooperate on shared interests, which is fine and is surely a good thing.

Based on your own description as "pretty average developer", you could maybe try out for local "Big Tech" companies in Europe as entry level (Eng1/L3 in the article) or the level above, and it would already be a pay raise, and wouldn't require you to relocate or be a contractor.

It's coming up to a year of no social media, almost 3 years without facebook. I kept Instagram around to keep in contact with friends, I was posting and lurking 24/7 on Reddit, and also browsing Twitter all the time, refreshing my feeeeeeed for those new posts.

Realized I was heavily depressed, and that the stuff I was reading online was having a really negative impact on my mood everyday. Capitalism Bad, Black Lives Matter (what black people went through made me sad, not the movement becoming prominent), Coronavirus all around the world. Reddit and Twitter were a cancer on my brain.

I deleted them, after a twitch content creator killed himself and it sent me into a spiral, I didn't realize that the parasocial relationships were that strong.

Like the OP, I went through a pretty severe withdrawal period, it actually got worse before it got better, and I had to go speak to a therapist, because I couldn't even get up to go to work. I'd lost my lifestyle, and these senses of "community" that I had.

I can happily say I'm better now, but I'm also thinking of discarding my smartphone. Buy a dumb phone, carry it around with me, while leaving the iPhone at home on wifi for entertainment purposes (Chromecast controller, or watching on phone). I've started watching Twitch and reading reddit more regularly the past couple of months and it's starting to worry me again, might need to do another cleanse somehow, and I can't exactly delete accounts that don't exist, so I need to delete the device that I'm accessing it on.

While I don’t specifically fall into this category, I’d like to broaden it to younger men starting families. The reason my partner and I haven’t moved toward doing so is primarily economic, we still can’t afford a house and rental laws here mean we could be kicked out at quite short notice. We don’t want to bring a child into an environment that we aren’t even able to keep stable for ourselves.

Others we know are in even more limited circumstances, who put off even dating due to how tight their finances are. Money just isn’t making it to the lower and middle classes any more in any real capacity.
The RPi 400 only has 4GB but the board is integrated into a keyboard with a power button and a big heatsink, if you go for a (m)SATA SSD + USB3 adapter you still have a second USB3 port, those things can easily push 300MB/s with UASP, the official power supply should be enough in this case.

No, the overall concept in the metal lattice was that the lattice itself brought the hydrogens closer in some way, or lowered the potential barrier between them.

Also, it's palladium. Getting hydrogen to fuse with palladium is a net loss of energy, which would be amusing in a sad way. "Guys, we got fusion to work, but it actually takes energy!"
