> I find this to be very hopeful, because it means we can design and form networks that elevate people, not lower them into mindless zombie states.

That's the interesting part about humanity though. We could live on a paradise planet together, with complete freedom, using high tech inventions to live anywhere with power and water.

But instead we are building a prison planet.
Maybe you have higher standards for what constitutes a "type" than were prevalent in the 1970s. Obviously C isn't trying to be SML here but those are definitely types.

The type of f is: constant pointer to a function that takes no parameters but returns a pointer to an integer.

The thing to the const keyword's left (thus, the thing we know is constant because East Const is consistent) is an asterisk, indicating a pointer type, inside parentheses, a function, so that's a function pointer, and we can use the rules for figuring out the function declaration to determine what type of function it is.

Reading types this way has to be how you do it, all the time in C, const isn't in fact a weird exception, except in the sense that obviously constant ought to be the default, but it's too late for that in C.
Two thoughts:

1.) In a "simple language" (e.g. without generics) each line of code is easy to read/understand. But reading/understanding the whole program or application is difficult. In "not-simple languages" it's the other way around.

2.) An important criteria to judge the future of a language is how foresight the language authors have. I read that the go authors said in the past that they were not ready to add generics because they didn't know how to do so in a good way. True or not, retrospectively adding generics is not a great indicator for good language design to me. Even if the addition of generics is a net-positive thing, I expect that Go will go in the direction of C++, having a lot of accidental feature complexity in the language.

I think it's better to do it like Lisp and keep a simple (but nonetheless flexible) core. Or do it like Haskell and design the language to elegantly allow as much abstraction as possible, moving carefully towards that goal. For these kind of languages, you better have people who have years long experience in exactly this: designing powerful programming languages. A developer can be the best in their own field, but they are doomed to fail when trying to build a future-proof, well designed programming language on their first attempt. (btw, not relating to the Go author's here)

An example where this didn't work is Angular - from the first moment that I got in touch with it, I knew it was built by amateurs. It's only a framework, but the difference to a programming-language is minor in the case of these kind of all-encompassing frameworks. It is not surprising to me at all that the completely redesigned Angular later on.

>How do you get from 'opinion piece in a newspaper' to 'gigantic transnational financial infrastructure company changes its rules'?

Easy. the reporter isnt just launching the page and waiting for a reaction. They probably used those accounts to report to authorities and timed their story with an expected result from the investigation.

There's no magic to it except for the ability to post the news piece and have the public think "they are just reporting on it"
This seems like a trap to make GitHub stickier. If something makes it harder to leave GitHub and host your code elsewhere, beware. In this situation, it seems safer to give people some BibTeX to copy-paste.
Sample size isn't the problem you think it is. The difference in statistical confidence between sample sizes of a hundred million (COVID vaccine doses) and a billion (flu vaccines) is basically zero.

Perhaps you could try to make a case that we need more time to evaluate the long-term effects of the vaccines. Historically speaking, we know that side effects for any vaccine are incredibly rare after more than a few months. mRNA vaccine technology has been researched for decades and there are no indicators that there are long-term complications resulting from their use. Other vaccine technologies show similar long-term safety.

Really interesting article. By the end, they admit that what makes Delta worse is the sum of the parts, and not just a single mutation in the spike protein.

This is a general property of biology: it's almost always the sum of the parts.

It reminds me the trajectory of computer sciences, where a lot of our (conventional) systems are carefully coordinated part orchestras. I.e., an engineer knows all the classes/functions/modules and how they interact. Compare with our recent multi-layer neural networks, where nobody can say what the coefficient at index [22, 2, 432, 91, 42] does exactly. I wonder if, similarly, bio-research will be able to move more towards automatic discovery of desirable systems.
By raising prices for end consumers.

My brother runs a Pet Supply business in Ireland and brings in a lot of products from China, dog cages are particulary popular. At this moment you can't buy any of these products in Ireland as local suppliers have run dry, even the big brand name shops.

They have a container on the water right now. The shipping cost rose from about €2.5k to €16k. When the goods arrive the item price in their shops will shoot up to compensate for the extra shipping cost.

What else can businesses do?
Yeah I totally agree with you, despite the fact that Prozac was a terrible 6 month fog for me some 20 years ago. It really works wonders for some people. And the cognitive behavioral therapy I received at the time, in addition to short term anxiety medication which I still take occasionally, were huge in terms of my long term mental health.
This seems like an attempt to make GitHub stickier, and should be avoided. Just give people BibTeX to copy and paste, and don’t let Microsoft railroad you into using their formats, yet again.
I get these texts periodically. I feed them fake codes and waste as much of their time as possible.

When they figure it out, I receive threats ranging from reporting me to the authorities all the way up to killing me and raping my family.

I then point out exactly how their scam works, and that they are either criminals directly or working for them as patsies. At this point, they usually stop responding.

If they don’t, then I take the chance to vent some of my own vitriol at them. It’s usually therapeutic, but it’s always fun.

I have accumulated a lot of hobbies over the years, and I count this among them.
I needed to use C# for some project. Used generics without actually being aware what they were. Helps that C# implements generics without type erasure.

* less robust high speed tracking (2d barcode features often get destroyed by motion blur from consumer grade cameras)

* slower tracking in general (specialty hardware such as depth cameras often are higher spec: intel realsense can do 90fps, some mocap systems can do 1000hz)

* worse accuracy and precision in general (though it's related to the tag size, bigger tags are more precise/accurate)
If you want a stack you'll just use a growable array (in Go, a slice). A linked list is suboptimal.

Linked lists serve a real purpose in some situations where you really do want O(1) behavior. One example is when you are performing the operation while holding a mutex. But it's never the sort of thing where the right tool is a linked list generic container.

I really wish we'd gotten a couple more useful native controls back when there was any will to add that kind of stuff... It's sad/annoying to see all this reimplementation of simple stuff like comboboxes, and then all this extra effort to make it work OK in different form factors... The great experience of the select element that just gets you a mobile appropriate native UI for free is unavailable for so many simple cases.

Last I checked the form additions from HTML5 were still pretty spotty in support, several don't really have a real world use case, and nobody wants to make any more really.

The day I needed to install anything on my phone for my mega-corp employer I went out and bought the cheapest Android phone I could find.

What was an interesting discovery was that PingID doesn't require a cellular data connection to work, so I was able to use the phone unregistered (so no network charge) and permanently in flight mode (to preserve the battery).

Even now after leaving that company I still haven't registered the phone or taken it off flight - I just connect to a personal wi-fi as necessary.

Apple's Photos app can search photos based on their contents (e.g. try typing "cat" into the Photos search box). It can also identify individual faces, and group photos based on who's in them.

All of this is local-only. (Which is why it has to run an expensive indexing process locally.)
I think that a significant part of the complaint from the OP goes away when you use a method that doesn’t involve holding the phone to your face. I use headphones, but if you’re alone at home speakerphone might also be an option.
Nothing in science is indisputable if you have an explanation for all the observations. If we pose restrictions on the set of theories allowed, that they are causal and physical (respects thermodynamics, what we know about the behaviour of gases and their absorption spectra, how light works) certain things become indisputable.

If you presuppose something approximating Newton's laws of motion there is no way you can come to the conclusion that repulsion between bodies (that G has the opposite sign) or that there is (even a vector valued) charge responsible for the attraction.

Claiming climate science is not real at this point is equivalent to either alleging a conspiracy involving at least everyone making temperature measurements or that physics we think we understood fully since atleast the 1900s and that didn't even needed (much) correction for relativity.
Writing stuff in C... one thing I would like is an error return keyword. And the ability to set how you'd like unhanded errors to be dealt with. Like unhanded error means program aborts. Let the programmer decide how sloppy he wants to be.

Understanding your audience (and your audience's knowledge) was one of the first things I learned in public speaking / rhetoric class in college... so I suspect more generic examples would hurt your ability to persuade folks. But it seems reasonable enough to take the core ideas and reframe them against different examples that better resonate with the "more people" you're thinking of.
》I wonder if, similarly, bio-research will be able to move more towards automatic discovery of desirable systems.

Bio research already does that, SARS-CoV-2 was created this way. It uses natural selection over multiple generations to select desired behaviour, the same way as neural networks are created. This process is automated to large extend.
a few examples that come to mind: EC2, EMR, ECR, EKS, RDS, EBS, DMS, ECS, VPC, SSS (S3), SNS, SES, IAM,

1) The browser tells the Yubikey: "sign this: 'logging in to site.com at 12:34PM'". The yubikey signs it and gives the signature to the browser. The browser gets the signature and passes it on to the site. attacker.com will get a signature over 'logging in to attacker.com at 12:34PM'. That signature will not allow the attacker to log in to facebook.com .

2) Correct. In fact you don't even need a hardware token. You can do the whole thing in software. It could even theoretically be built right into your browser (but you would have the problem of logging in to the account on a different device or different browser). The fingerprint protects against physically stolen devices, and slightly against malware on your computer.

> Before long, scammy tutorials pop up showing Go as an essentially dynamic language

Sorry are you saying adding generics to Go makes Go closer to dynamic languages? Shouldn't that be the opposite?

> I knew a person who insisted on a lot of things when working in a Go code base...one of which was mixed typed tuples. It was ugly, awful code of interfaces all the way down. It's ugly and Go let you know that. A voice of reason would say...what are you doing? That's not how you do it in Go.

Do you have an example of this (code)? What's wrong with tuples with elements of different types? What's the alternative?

Small N point might be true, but “these statistical tricks work only in physics” is false on numerous spots. Things like statistical methods for controlling for certain associations aren’t “tricks” (they use GLM here) and they do not “only” work in physics. Without bringing up the whole replication crisis, there’s a lot of good science in other fields being done with these methods.

I think what they mean is utility functions (e.g. min/max here) tend to only be implemented for one type, so if you’re using an other you keep casting back and forth.

Rust is very fussy about types and some operations are bound to a single one (e.g. stdlib sequences only index with usize) but utility functions tend to either be genetic or be mass-implemented using macros (or by hand probably for f32::min and f64::min though I did not check).
Yes! Any developer that forces the user to use a specific type of device needs to be smacked around a bit (or more accurately, the manager that told them to do it that way). Banks are notorious for this, since their stupid 2FA apps will do insane things like scan your app list for common root-only apps and non-vendor ROMs (even with no root). Some even have a vendor whitelist that obscure brands (like OnePlus used to be) aren't on and in both cases, their only response is "well just factory reset your phone" or "just buy a different device". I've switched banks twice because of this insanity.

And there's no reason to do this! It's not like they're liable if I get my money stolen. If they prove 2FA was used and the security issue was on my device, not their app/server, it's my fault! As you said, if you're a custodian of something sensitive (an account, documents, money..), not the owner of it, it makes sense that the owner shouldd be able to dictate how you should protect it (like if you're accessing confidential company documents using 2FA). But in any other case, the service provider should never be allowed to force you to use a certain type of authentication device.

Totally agree.

There is one reason I can see for using canvas based rendering generally[1] and that is if one really really wants to avoid someone from copy-pasting or indexing the page easily[2].

[1]: valid use cases for using canvas exists.

[2]: as someone who has digitized a couple of documents I'd say the effort is just above copy paste (with my tools it is copy, paste, OCR to clipbord, paste, verify)

I'm glad you mention audio because I'm going to spend 60€ on a dedicated microphone just because Linux cannot use simultaneously my Bluetooth headphones and their integrated mic without manually changing the codec (which additionally sucks when using the mic). Some problems improve but others simply never dissapear, like audio. Maybe there is a lack of interest or maybe is a design or a process problem, I don't know.
>The problem with that kind of argument is that these rules are what everyone pushes to deter traffickers.

yes,and I argue there is a severe amount of false negatives caught up in the crossfire because legal entities don't understand the scale of digital platforms. So these rules are made with no regards to how feasible they are and how big a problem this actually is.

Let's be honest here, the real silk road/black market aren't browsing Pornhub/OnlyFans to get their fix. This would be like money laundering on eBay. being on a big platform ruins the point.

>It's much like saying that all the efforts that are now saving elephants from being poached to extinction are just some shadowy "anti-ivory agenda" rather than being undertaken for the sake of the elephants. Terribly bad faith argument.

I don't really care about the intent to be honest. I just hate the loopholes over things that every digital platform needs to perform being taken advantadge of to cause these asinine decisions.

It's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater to kill a cockroach. The baby is hurt, the water is wasted, and the roach is probably still alive.

> Why exactly is it OK for unions to do the same, then?

Egalitarianism. Equating corporate businesses with worker unions is a false equivalence, since ownership and wealth can be concentrated, but labor cannot. Gains made by unions on behalf of workers can be spread more broadly through the population, while gains made by corporations are typically concentrated among an elite (and become more and more concentrated with increasing status).

Now, someone will probably retort with something about prices, but there's a limit to how much a worker can benefit from lower prices when they come from pressure on labor. There's also a limit to how much a worker can benefit from penny-ante shareholding.
