Isn’t that purely interface-equality related “issue”? With Maybe’s you’d compare Maybe(interface(Maybe(T))) with T or with Maybe(T) and it would either non-compile or be a broken comparison again, depending on == semantics. Then we’d read on muddy == semantics which is broken or disallowing for easy comparison through an optional interface and forces one to build ugly ladders of pattern matching in otherwise one-liner lambdas.
Also because teachers have trouble with it. I’d guess out of all the teachers I had at a decent public school, probably only 1 in 5 could be reasonably considered critical thinkers.

I’d guess 2 in 5 were actively hostile to the concept and the rest were just ambivalent.

Illegitimate (or at least arbitrary) authority is something schools seem to thrive on. Our school had a staircase you could only go up and one you could only go down and you got yelled at if you went the wrong direction. Naturally the building wasn’t made by insane people so the stairs were on opposite ends, this meant if you had to go downstairs but were near the “up only stairs” you had to traverse the entire building and would be late with 3min class change times (and you couldn’t run either).

We also couldn’t talk during the second half of lunch because it was too loud for the lunch monitors.

Underpaid, low status jobs with unions that prevent people from getting fired is a great way to end up with dumb, awful people in those positions. I was lucky there were a few great teachers at all given those incentives.
I also thought the bit about fresh graduates having no pride rather blanket. There are plenty of prideful fresh graduates with the kind of pride that experience hasn't yet tempered to produce a humble respect for the fact that you will die knowing next to nothing. Sadly, even some old timers never catch on to that.

Is there some kind of material that remains elastic and strong at that temperature that could be used to create a bladder? I assume no, since that seems like something that would have already been done in place of helium pressurant if it were viable. All the rubbery or fabric-like things I know of that are stretchy like that become brittle at those temperatures.
> What kind of job title would disqualify an employee from being allowed to vote to unionize?

Managers and supervisors, generally, including when supervision (including just giving out work assignments with some degree of discretion) is a relatively small part of the worker's job.

>I guess this means setting the timer really low, so that it auto locks after a very short time?

The IT department at my former employer tried this out company-wide and it almost led to them getting attacked physically. When every simple distraction leads to you getting locked out of the desktop (phonecall, boss or coworker having a question) it builds frustration quickly. Pair this with frequently changing (company-mandated) complex passwords and permanent lockut after a few mistypes and you have a recipe for disaster: Even some of my technologically less-inclined co-workers researched how to bypass Windows security with hacking tools.

Sure. But then they went on the attack against someone who was obviously not guilty and that's where they became a criminal conspiracy covering for their company's failures.

Good analysis. I'd like to add the cost of change. At some point you will move places or change jobs. You will have periods of less income and more spendings. This adds up. A few months of saving evaporate.

The problem with this "bad information" monicker is that it's absolutely contaminated with politics just like "fact checkers" and someone who points out data or inconsistencies that go against an official stance might be labeled simply for countering the narrative.

You comment is more useful than the article, just so you know.
I agree that you could easily design a system where you could have video of everyone dropping their ballots into a ballot box and it would still be impossible to associate a particular vote with a voter.

However, that's not the standard. The standard is avoiding the appearance of being able to track votes. I don't trust the people who make voting machine software or the government. You don't know that your voting tabulation software correctly anonymizes the results and you shouldn't need that technical knowledge to feel safe. The correct approach is to make a system that guarantees what we want and would be impossible for a bad actor to abuse.

Corn just means grain. The shift to being equivalent to "maize" is later, and I think not universal in English-speaking dialects (and obviously only happened after the Columbian exchange).
Do you believe in climate science? I can't abide climate denialism, it's already led to hundreds of thousands of deaths via air pollution having been worsened by fossil fuel's deleterious smear campaigns against climate science.

Parent comment is not talking about cataclysmic death, he's talking about the destruction of our ecosystems. It will indeed be bleak when rampant forest fires destroy our forests, when the sea levels rise and take out whole swaths of valuable real estate. You may think this is fear-mongering, but whatever your opinion, molecules have inherent properties that your opinion doesn't affect.

This is simply physics, CO2 and methane and other gasses will trap heat, rendering all of the biosphere changed, ice melting, forest fires worsened. It's already happening and it will get worse.
It will take 100-200 years to get really bad, but the inertia of the energy in the water cycle is the concerning point.

I follow the advice of Greg Crenshaw: Schedule everything in your calendar.
That includes coding. Time before and after meetings for preparation and review. Reading and answering emails... You get the drift.

Be generous with the estimates.

And personally I liked to push the responsibility back to the organiser of the meeting, if there is a conflict with the schedule, i.e. affects my deliverables: sure, I can attend that meeting but that means X gets delayed. Is that okay?

Like many engineer-minded people, I consider (possibly wrongly) meetings as a waste of time. This way, I don't have to weigh meeting time against coding time myself.
And everyone is aware of the trade-offs needed to be done.

Writing off legitimate complaints about working conditions at Amazon–which are, in fact, widespread–as "outrage of internet leftism" is dismissive and plain incorrect. [1]

By what definition of "free market" is unionization fairly characterized as "messing with" said market? Isn't the idea of the free market that actors within that market have the opportunity to use resources and organize resources the way they see fit? It seems your definition of "free market" only permits corporations latitude in making meaningful choices, but employees and consumers none whatsoever.

That makes sense, so most likely Go's compiler is promoting the new variable to the heap (I doubt it's smart enough to recognize that the new `v` is only used by the closure which in turn is only used by the new goroutine and thus safe to allocate `v` in the new goroutine's stack). In any case, thanks for the link, I didn't know there was a formal name for the problem.

> This in turn means that the pay that people recieve is worth whatever the working conditions are, and people can quit and go find easier job at any time.

Sounds easy but I assume it isn't so much. Applying regular market rules to the job market is misguided. First, people need a job to live. If all available offers are starvation wages, people can't just say "well I won't work for this". Second, changing job is a big risk regarding healthcare and job security. Some people might prefer lower pay but higher stability rather than slightly higher pay but with a high risk of being fired. Third, different people have different jobs available. For unskilled labor there will always be more people than jobs, and there will always be people that need a job now doing whatever so they don't lose their home. That will push wages down even in an environment of low unemployment.

> Secondly, the number of reports of poor working conditions are far and few in between.

There are quite a lot of reports in multiple countries and outlets. Taking into account that it's not easy for workers to put their story out there and that they take a risk by doing so, I wouldn't dismiss the evidence so quickly.

> When workers realize they can take it easy and keep their jobs, productivity will go down.

Or go up. Evidence is mixed and depends on the setting. It's not "undoubtely".

> While its true that worker conditions will improve, the problem is along will come Walmart thats not as much in the spotlight, and offer better service and shipping while having shit working conditions,

Walmart employees could make an union too.

> Unionization is messing with the free market, which never leads to good outcomes historically.

Things unions have historically done (some of them haven't reached yet the US precisely because of the lack of unionization):

- Limit weekly working hours.
- Weekends
- Paid vacations.
- Protect workers in bad situations (pregnancy, disability, injuries).

That's just in general. Go into actual unions and see what things they do.

Also, they're not messing with the free market. The job market is not a free market, there's an extreme asymmetry of power and information between a worker and a company. Most workers can't afford to lose their jobs, most companies can afford to lose a worker. By splitting workers they can apply individual pressure to gain an advantage that they couldn't get if workers actually coordinated. Unions restore the power balance and give workers the power to negotiate the conditions in an equal setting.

> Please, I remember we would all die a horrible death due to a nuclear armageddon.

That's not off the table at all, it's just not talked about much anymore.

To take your argument seriously, past performance does not predict future results. The fact that we've avoided disaster in the last 80 years does not mean we will be so lucky with climate change. It's certainly not a reason to ignore the risks - the ozone hole situation improved because the nations of Earth took united and conclusive action to halt it by banning CFCs.
That’s the business of stock photos. Unsplash managed to stick around because they provided free high quality images that were more “real” looking than stock photos. It was supported by ads, which I’m sure kept the site running but when Getty knocks on your door and offers to buy you out ... it’s hard to say no.

The cycle will continue. In its place there will be a new Unsplash which will offer the same + a bit more until it gets bought out too.
The only apt comparison IMO is Rust, the other languages with JIT compiling runtimes aren't really useful comparisons.

To me this looks like a discussion about syntax and ergonomics. Go provides the same mechanisms:

* for safe dereferencing, use "val, ok := *valRef"

* for potentially-unsafe dereferencing, use "val := *valRef"

Every language in that list has equivalent mechanisms. In Rust you can use one of these methods: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html or pattern matching. That's a whole lot to pick from.

But Rust also makes it more complicated to reason about your memory, see for example https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/#representation

So, given Go's design tenets, using pointers makes a lot of sense to me. It is easy to reason about them in terms of memory and resource consumption, there are only a few ways they can be used, pass-by-value semantics further reduces the centrality of them, and they don't require a JIT compiler to be efficient.
"Corn" in UK English has historically meant cultivable grains in general, not "maize" specifically as in North America.

No. Maybe? Don't know what happened all along history, but Tether still exists and it's still 1 USD. Now it's audited.

I see no reason why it could not be pegged as long for every 1 usd recieved, they mint 1 stablecoin and release it to whoever bought it. Things get iffy only in case they start doing reaaal shady stuff. But now USDT is audited(from the latest info I have) and USDC has always been audited.
The problem: it's true that productivity per person has steadily gone up through technology, but there are still a fuckton of workers in farms, mines, and factories to make commodities for the developed world to consume voraciously. It's only that these factories are mainly in the third world, and most people in Western societies can't see this. Even with the purpoted advancement of technology, miners in Congo are still mining cobalt with shovels (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPIB17PE2vM), Columbian farmers are still picking coffee fruits by hand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNJ2hU3dr8o), and Chinese workers are assembling iPhones by hand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmLsV9cSk0o). These kinds of work, even though you may find "primitive" and "solvable by technology", will take a long time to disappear off the face of the earth. This deterministic "evolutionary" thinking of jobs is really an incredibly narrow take on the world economy of jobs as a whole.

As most of us here are in the technological sector we are often blinded by the idea of unending linear progress, but we really have to respect how hard robotics actually is. The current manual labor tasks that have to be automated are optimized are actually not that 'repetitive' in the scientific sense, they actually require a lot of elaborate limb movements, split-second decision makings, and handling of countless edge cases for even just the simple task of moving objects from point A to B. It's easy to manage this when you're in a warehouse that has been purposefully designed for robots to do things easily (with entirely flat floors and standardized box sizes). But as soon these robots meet environments where humans live, come and go, with all the irregularities and edge cases it has, it will fail miserably. Too much of our surrounding infrastructure are designed for humans and not for robots, that's why there is immense value in creating robotic systems mimicking natural systems. But robotics researchers are still having an incredibly hard time replicating the delicate movements of human limbs and hands (both in terms of hardware and software), and rightly so; the human body is an incredibly elaborate system of muscles, bones, and neural pathways that almost seems like a miracle of nature (how the fuck did evolution really create this insane complicated system that can do all sorts of weird movements???) And even if we know how the whole system works, it's not a easy task to replicate this in mechanical terms. Note that we haven't begin talking about mass production of these complicated robots, there's always a question of whether it will scale (and would it be more competitive to humans, especially in the developing world?). I think robotics will still have quite some progress in the 21st century but a bit pessimistic that it will seriously begin to replace traditional manual labor in my lifetime.
