This definitely the biggest thing I'm looking forward to in Go's post-generics world. It's frustrating to write the same concurrency abstractions like fan out, error handling etc for every type and reason about channel behavior carefully every single time.
Witness some brands of motorcycle that are overpriced for such dated technology, yet have a line of people telling you how great they are. Hell, just read the replies in that Twitter thread. Oh, you thought it would be all "how are these allowed on the road?", did you? No, the narrative-supporting is strong in this one. When one spends that kind of money, some have a hard time admitting that their purchase wasn't all it was advertised to be.

Or multiple profiles.

For email, I used multiple instances of Mozilla Thunderbird with multiple profiles. The existence of the multi-profile capability is not well advertised and not user friendly, as I need to create desktop shortcut with command-line arguments. But it works: i now have two different office 365 ID and they don't step of each other's toes.

(Yes, they do need to be completely separate processes. Tab would not work. OTOH, I find it soothingly reassuring hat they are separate processes. I feel the risk of the program have a subtle bug and starting to mix the two ID much, much lower in this way. It would need to be quite a severe bug.)

I did set each Thunderbird profile to use a different theme so that I can try to avoid confusing them.
Not really. Other countries with "regular capitalist economies" if there is such a thing have been scared shitless of an embargo and every single one has seen economic disaster.

The key to the embargo are two measures, the exclusion of Cuba from the global financial system, and the restriction on ships that docked in Cuba. Because of these, trade with Cuba from other countries is severely restricted.

It's the same situation as the Iranian embargo, just even worse. As you can see in Iran even in capitalist countries it causes untold economic disruption.

There would 1000% be a blockade even if Cuba became capitalist as long as it was opposed to US geopolitical interests. The US trades with endless murderous dictators and even traded with the USSR, the determining factor of the embargo is the Monroe doctrine, not anything else. Ever since 1776 Cuba has been struggling with escaping the American sphere of influence.
Google and Microsoft banned this small business. Are we meant to believe they are coordinating to step on the little guy? Despite the hundreds of thousands of small businesses that do advertise successfully on these search engines? Somehow this does not seem likely to me. I suspect there is some other relevant factor that you are not telling us.
They are varied and wonderful.
Obacht. They don't even mention the original Bloom filter problem, the constant overhead of calculating 3-5 hashes per key, which is problematic with overly slow hash functions (like siphash) or overlong keys. Then it's faster to go without bloom, xor or ribbon, which just cancels searching for not-included keys.

Or if you know that your key is always included in the dataset, it is pure overhead.
If you require more than 30 seconds to perform your experiment, you must instead compare this to an orbital flight.
Amusingly I would have expected the opposite in terms of what people find acceptable. Trying to charge say $200 for HIV medication to subsistence farmers in Sudan would be viewed as unconscionable.

In a period of unemployment I found that my medications basically operated on the afford less lower price - they gave coupons usable without insurance to far more reasonable prices. I can see clear brand promption and price discrimination here - they don't want to surrender market mindshare and brand name recognition by giving up the low end or their margins by cutting the cost across the board. So they give discounts that usually only the low end could or would take. Ironically such slightly sleazy behavior fits with one hypocratic oath vow to only charge what was within their ability to pay.

Or course "globally" probably means more charge other first world nations so it would be more "splitting the check among coworkers" than "demand the penniless man in the breadline pay a dollar". Still a position I expect to be US popular only.

As far as I can tell drug prices are driven by mainly one thing, realpolitik. Hepatitis C cures are targetted based upon organ transplant costs because that is the only alternative so it still helps but they make huge profits as say $75k drug treatments are still a big improvement over $150k of transplant costs. Unified blocs can twist arms to a certain degree, tiny blocs pay more for reasons beyond just spikey risk pools and meta-insurance, and companies will accept lower profits from some sales if it helps maintain higher profit sales.

I'm not sure if your analysis is correct about the outcome, but it is a brilliant look at one way forward. Something else that excess energy could be used for is recycling aluminum, possibly for large-scale reissue of aluminum-air batteries. In any case, combining some sort of production to the excess may be far easier than grid-level storage and I hope some people in the right positions listen to you about that.
Yeah, maybe folks have a problem with that, but the artist certainly only highlighted already creepy-ish things that we accept all the time (companies tracking us, and the lack of an expectation of privacy in public places).
The cancers that are treated successfully in children are the blood borne ones (mostly leukemias) and generally because they’re easier to wipe out and replace the marrow with. Some Childhood brain tumours are also very successfully treated, and most other adult cancers children don’t get. Sarcomas still kill people left right and centre though.

The truth is that we’re already peeking out of the dark ages of chemotherapy. Immunothérapies have revolutionised the field and new stuff coming online is incredible. When I started medical school 11 years ago the 5 year survival of metastatic melanoma was close to 0%. It’s now close to the population average (well, not really, but it’s greater than 50%).

It is well known that NSA intercepts all electronic communications going in/out of the USA.

The one thing that I got out of this was that NSA has no trouble at all reading and decrypting encrypted Internet traffic. Pretty much every mail exchanger operating today uses TLS for communications with clients and other mail exchangers. It's almost a certainty that these communications were encrypted, but NSA (illegally) produced them very quickly.

I only got a few pages in but that seems to be correlational? Does it day somewhere specifically that the same diet and exercise regime produces worse outcomes for older people?

Perhaps I am misinterpreting your decision, but it seems like you are saying that in older people there is some inevitable tradeoff between waist circumference and lean mass, and that if one tries to lose fat they must grow weak or if one tries to grow strong they must gain fat. If older that is.

This doesn’t seem to be true in practice for people in our society, and hunger gather societies didn’t have obese elders.

I could believe it is harder to gain muscle when older, but I’m not convinced it becomes impossible to meet both goals with fairly modest effort.
It wouldn't be unheard of a small business being virtually sentenced to death because the opaque byzantine maze of unwritten rules got triggered by some keywords or automated systems.

> Why is this heat wave from climate change but past heat waves were not?

(If I'm not wrong), is a new record for the area so is the highest heat wave reported past or present. Is a new situation.

Not, but if climate change predicts extreme temperatures, and you start having extreme temperatures, higher and higher each year, maybe we should pay more attention to the pattern.

No, your comparison is not accurate; the most dangerous insurrectionists' communication means were not disrupted. They were mainly using platforms that weren't moderating them and made key plans using end to end encryption and direct messaging. Only a total Internet shutdown would disrupt that. And forcing a private company to facilitate violence to keep a defeated president in office against its will would itself be totalitarian.
> There’s no bad intent here — nobody targets me personally, who even cares about me. It’s a constant error in the processes that came, probably, from a good place — but it’s no better for me. Nobody will fix this error.

This is the truth and it's very depressing. I would personally support either legislation forcing Google to be more transparent of these bans or legislation ripping the company apart so that they don't own the ad exchange, as well as sell ads themselves, as well as everything else they have integrated.

The physical act of writing engages the brain more than typing on a keyboard does. I claim that the physical motion and having to form shapes, as well as the more tangible spatial procession of your physical movement across the page reinforces the memory through association in a way that just pushing a key does not. Your hand is very intimately involved in making those marks on paper. Pushing buttons causes things to appear on a screen, but there is little tactile engagement and it isn't very differentiated (all pushes of a key are approximately the same). Writing is also more deliberate, whereas you can type while half asleep. The quality of your writing also depends on effort. Typed letters appear the same no matter how you press the key. You are mainly concerned about pushing the correct key, but how to press it is unimportant and there isn't much room for variation anyway.

how long they can push this. They are relying on Lidar (and
other sensors) but even as of last year, it seems most teams already realized Lidar would not be the solution for Snow,

Even Tesla, already realized its not just a sensor problem, solving self-driving needs a higher level algo than
can put the different sensors, in context of situational awareness. Note that in no any other way I would consider Tesla an example to follow ;-) And do not think they are any closer to getting a working system. Some of the statements show at least a second level understanding of what is required. Sensors are a means to it. Its about situational awareness but also inference.

None of that is unique to Go, and, indeed, the question of "what errors may be returned" in general is not solved in any language that I know of satisfactorily, especially once you include any form of polymorphism. Compiler-enforced error handling in general only works on the direct possible errors from the function you just called, not the transitive closure of everything that could have happened, again, especially once you include any sort of polymorphism, meaning that you don't even know at the time you're writing the error handler what the possibilities are, and depending on the language, it may not even be possible to statically know. Don't mistake "option" or "sum types" for a solution to this problem; they aren't.

(The only language I know where this is nominally "solved" is Java if you confine yourself to its checked exceptions, but nobody considers that solution "satisfactory", and indeed can be taken as a rough-and-ready proof that there may not even be a "static" solution to this problem that is usable. I'm beginning to think of it as "Errors don't compose, because they contain every possible pathology that would prevent values from composing." At this point, based on the consistent failures trying to create composable error solutions despite substantial effort poured into it across multiple languages, I am going to operate under the assumption there is no such solution until someone produces one.)
And just handling/storage. Things that are flammable or explosive have more-stringent requirements.

A familiar example: one should take much greater care when storing rubbing alcohol (or Bacardi 151 or vodka) than wine. One will magnify a house-fire. The other will help to douse a flame.
> I don't understand how something this broken is allowed to operate on public roads.

It's important to point out that this software is currently only offered as a private beta to deliberately selected testers. Now, maybe they shouldn't be using it on public roads either, but at least it's not available to the general public.

The problem is that a country the U.S. embargoes isn't free to trade with all other countries since the U.S. prohibits any company that does business with the embargoed country from doing business in the U.S. The size of the U.S. economy being as large as it is makes a U.S. embargo effectively a global embargo.

Except for motive.

Consider the saying "People don't leave jobs, they leave bosses." Sure, you're getting a new job, not just leaving an old one. But what they're really doing is leaving that jerk of a boss.

In the same way, you can be "going to America", or you can be "escaping from Cuba". Same thing in terms of actions, but not at all the same in terms of motive.
Forgive me if it's an ignorant question, but what's the benefit of an ESP32/ESP8266 over a Pi Zero (W), apart from saving ~$5, assuming all your applications are indoors and don't need to run on battery?

I've only recently gotten into the whole topic, and have yet to see the benefit of dealing with micro-controller toolchains, MicroPython etc. if power consumption is not a big factor. Seems like a full Raspbian offers a lot more flexibility.

I've used a Pi Zero W that runs regular Python and sends messages to a REST API on my home server (little go thing) + MariaDB + Grafana, for similar use case (although I will now need to build the washer/dryer idea :)).
> None of my friends could tell me the specific reasons why I was banned. It’s mostly because they do not understand their own rules

It's because policies are in place to prevent them from doing so, you won't get special treatment or they will be out of a job.

Without seeing the Ad data it's hard to say but Financial products have a lot of policy in place and it's not enough to be ready to provide certification, in some instances you must do this beforehand.
Hell yeah. I literally can’t be bothered to “finish” something once I’ve solved the difficult parts. I’ve got quite a library now of software that’s 80-90% complete. Almost all of them die in the final “clean up styling,” and “adjust branding” phases because they’re so fucking boring to me. Is it a waste? Oooh hell no! It’s getting to the point where I’m searching my own fucking code for answers. It’s great. “Oh yeah, I totally did setup, configure, and deploy an custom search engine built on Lucene” or “oh yeah I totally spent four months researching encryption algos, which one was best for the time/CPU budget I have? Let me check.”

It’s nice to hear others are the same or at least enjoy the journey. Maybe this will be the motivation I need to starting releasing them “as-is” which is more of a “journey included, destination not determined” state...
the fact that it was built under certain constraints, which are no longer applicable, does not mean that the design is no longer valid -- it just means it may no longer be valid.

"constraints breed creativity" is the idea that you can end up with a better, more versatile solution -- rather than copping out at the first "good enough" solution. Of course, it's not guaranteed, but still. It's certainly possible that arrow keys are a mistake for total performance (arrows are trivially more visible, but also trivially greater motion from your other work). It's also certainly possible that modal editing is simply more effective than mouse & hotkeys, even if they were only designed because the mouse wasn't available.

Now, escape vs caps-lock-position, I'll give you freely, but generally its fair to judge a design based on current constraints, but not to judge (& discard) a design because it was designed other alternative constraints.
That is certainly true, yet at the same time setting up free markets to get investment from capitalist nations is a Communist technique since 1922. Deng Xiaoping himself admitted that his reforms were inspired by Lenin setting up the same system in the USSR.

So in the end I think neither of you are really wrong.

This method contains no incentives to do it (competition) and no way to establish what is "too high" (also competition).
This is solved with a revocation list, which only needs to contain the tokens issued within the last ~5-10m for which there is a reason for revocation. Add to that a revocation list for access tokens, which are typically 24h.

The sum of both lists is vastly smaller and easier to manage than distributing session state and maintaining it server side for every single user.
