Abstractions are not always nice.

One of the nice things about go is it doesn’t have many abstractions and most of them are carefully thought out. I don’t want to have to inhabit somebody else’s abstractions all day at work, I want the language to get out of the way, which go does quite well IMO.
Right, that's the ideal case. What might happen is that you get incomplete cancellation that varies with frequency; so you might get higher sound pressure at certain frequencies.
You shouldn't be so dismisive. Tesla's battery technology is superior.

If indeed other countries were so into EVs, as you claim, one must wonder what is lacking in the other countries that all their years of expertise building EVs for the general public, they weren't able to replicate Tesla (which at the time was quite the ragged automotive startup) and its energy management system.
“ You do that job because it's a pipeline to lobbying and other influence-peddling scumbaggery, not because you get rich or even make a reasonable living.”

Not true. Congress is full of staffers who view as a regular job and do it for decades. The people who go to lobbying are a very small group.
It isn't like VW is much behind Tesla in EV sales: 171k BEV plus 171k PHEV vs. 386k for Tesla in H1 2021, and VW had faster EV growth than Tesla compared to last year.

I suspect this is more about interoperability, e.g. a charging station deal or something similar.

Majority of the faculty and academics in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries used to be foreigners till the early 2000s at many of those research universities. I don't know what the percentage is today.

It seems that almost all the faculty in Qatar (which 1-2 decades behind Saudi Arabia in becoming "overnight" wealthy) are non-Qatari for the Georgetown Qatar University:

That may increase the velocity of money, but it also will drive up prices of liquid assets like index funds as those assets replace the store of value function money.

The newer Mars rovers use nuclear power, although obviously, not the same type needed for propulsion.
Hmmm, I don't think I know enough to say. He was definitely a bit of a cad, which is unbecoming for anyone. But what gets people like him "cancelled" is when their targets are people they have power over. Probably the best example that I'm familiar with (because I was a fan of his) is Charlie Rose. Everyone knew he was a womanizer, but what caught up to him was the way he targeted women who worked for him. I don't know enough about Feynman's behavior to say if he was doing that. None of the stories I know of involve students or employees of his, but I also wouldn't be shocked if stories like that are out there.

Citation needed. Scaling an industry from nothing in a year is a herculean task. I’m a staunch Trump critic, but Operation Warp Speed worked pretty well (if only because DJT got out of the way). The production rates are damn impressive and it’s not like anyone had any idea about how much vaccine we would be able to produce or how quickly. Arguments from hindsight aren’t particularly convincing.
Getting rejected from multiple interviews isn't a particularly big roadblock, you just need to do more. Or you have to improve. If you have a degree and aren't completely incompetent you will get a job sooner or later as long as you don't stop applying.

"But I got rejected once, it is proof that hard work and performance doesn't pay off!"

No, hard work includes trying multiple times. Over multiple tries the probability of you being unlucky in the interview goes to 0. It might take hundreds of tries, but if you can do the work you will get accepted at some point. Life being unfair doesn't mean that performance or hard work doesn't pay off, just that they maybe don't pay off as much as they ought to.
maybe its to ensure the compatibility with supercharger network, afterall tesla has the biggest charging infra out there.
> You have to explicitly ask for utf8mb4 to get sane behavior.

Here's more information about the difference between utf8 and utfmb4 in MySQL, in case anyone is wondering: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30074553

I'd say that in most modern circumstances you probably should just go with utfmb4, unless you have a good reason for doing otherwise (apart from only ever needing to use the BMP, or having some odd storage restrictions).

Can anyone come up with an actual good reason to use utf8mb3?
Your solution seems to miss the single most important feature of Obsidian, the ability to link notes together with references directly in the documents.

Obsidian is a knowledge base, what you are describing is a note taking solution. Might work for most people who just want to scribble things down, but once you start having information you want to inter-connect, it'll break down.
When I read articles like this I experience a mini existential crisis that we could be heading to some very dark places technologically.

I don't need to go into the reasons why it's bad. For anyone who's aware of the last 15 years of social media critique or novels like Brave New World, it's obvious that this would be a dystopia multiplier. Ad tech on steroids. If you think the manipulation is bad now just wait until this data is fed into the ML models.

If you must have everything you see, do and say recorded then please, for the love of god, let's use non-profit, open source / free software platforms where we own our own data.

I remember learning about fish traps similar to these. They used a similar design but with modern nets in the Chesapeake. Not sure what the timeframe was for their use or if they are still used today.
It is a compliment in some sense of the word.
Wait, are such devices even legal? Looks like walking spy-cam to me. I want to know if someone records video/takes picture of me. With this glasses you can`t tell if you are being filmed.
Wrong. It's not a football match. There's no upper limit. If some needs are fulfilled, new ones (that used to be unimportant) appear. No enough cars for everyone, you produce cars. If the demand is fulfilled, you produce personal planes, etc. ad infinitum. Wrist watches were once unaccessable and kind of unnecessary for the majority, too. Just like stockings and other things that were once considered luxurous. EVeryone will find their niche.

I was really looking forward to getting some basic generic standard library funcs. Guess what I'm getting now is a a ton of std libraries each with a slightly different approach, slightly different bugs and update cycles which will nicely inflate the amount of tech debt in existing codebases.

I guess from the standpoint of a language designer it makes life a bit easier not to do anything and just cherry pick the winners of the various generic attempts that the community will create but as an app. developer I find this disturbing. Also I question the rush to a release all of a sudden. Generics took years to come to fruition. Another year for a decent stdlib won't really hurt anyone and for those that really really want it they can enable it through build constraints.
> These companies are simply structured that way whether they know it or not.

Dang, I love this. This is so true. Never listen to the recruiting marketing about how we love our people or reassure yourself by looking at people who have been at the company for so long (6-10y).

Well, musical notation looks like gibberish to someone who did not learn it. That said, I do agree with you 100% on scientific papers. Without an explanation of the formulas to cater to a wider audience a lot of papers fall into the "and then a miracle occurs" fallacy. Not because that's what they actually do. Not at all. I say this because to a large set of readers the impenetrable math has to be taken as a divine act that moves you from step n to n+1.

I remember going to lunch with one of my math professors in college. He was working on his PhD and was about to publish his thesis. As we sat down to eat he was very excited as he pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket. It had been folded 3 or 4 times. You could tell he had been carrying this thing around, folding and unfolding it, for a long time because the folds showed wear.

This piece of paper was full of formulas, both sides, there was not a single blank area on the entire sheet.

He unfolded it and proceeded to give me a quick talk about what he was working on. He was very excited about it and I was happy for him. And yet that entire piece of paper looked like a language from another galaxy to me. I was on my third Calculus course. I had no clue what he was talking about.

Digressing a bit:

To this day I remember this when helping my kids with math, science and coding. As a matter of fact, I am currently working on an explanation of exponentiation and logarithms. In both cases everything looks great if things are even multiples of the base. The minute you do something like 2*2.1 or log_base_3(35.53) you hit the "and then a miracle occurs" problem, where you have to explain a thing by using the thing ("A white horse is a horse that is white").

I've spent the last couple of days working on cleaning-up an explanation of these things that makes sense without using a miracle to get to the answer. One of the problems is that there are natural explanations for things like square and cube (area and volume), but, what do powers of 2.1 and 3.25 mean? It is interesting how things completely break down. I don't think I have found a single mathematics text that bridges this gap.

If anyone has a sensible explanation of this I'd love to hear it!
> your standard of living largely comes from people who step out of that comfort zone, work hard and take economic risk

Citation needed for the above.

Maybe their standard of living largely comes from the high taxes imposed on the rich. Or maybe it comes from decades of free education, or maybe from the oil reserves of some scandinavian states.

Or maybe we just don't know; and that's ok too. I'm just saying that we shouldn't be so sure that the protestant work ethic is the necessary and sufficient thing for a good standard of living.
No, the scarcest resource is human time. If person A works for 1 hour then he added 1 hour of human work time to the pool of resources. Therefore it makes sense that he can now extract 1 extra hour of human work time from the pool of resources. Him doing that trade doesn't reduce the number of human work hours available to others, instead he increased the value of the pool since now there is more diversity of jobs the pool is capable of performing.

Your assumption here is that you can trade human work hours for finite natural resources on some market, and that everyone has to pay for those resources on the market. There is nor reason why you should be able to do that, rather the natural system is to allocate all finite resources equally to each person and then you an pay for those with your work, but you working harder to pay a person to share his resources with you wouldn't affect anyone else in the economy unless they too wants to have extra of that resource.
I think it would be better to just get away from ultra terseness. It's crazy to me how terse mathematics is compared to CS.

> They're all about this idea, which most programmers have that's wrong, is that you're going to write the program the right way. Nothing's going to be wrong. The whole idea is to make a fucking mess.

I think he's great and I've learned a lot from him, but this is where I immediately disagreed. But it got me thinking and I realized it's because the stuff I work on is mostly a solved problem. So I think people that reimplement stuff that already exists have this schtick about making it correctly, clean and efficient. He was mostly working on things really new so it had to be a mess. I just hate that the stuff I work on is a mess anyway even though it's nothing special at all.
It's clever until you hit issues with uptime, or breaking the specific rules of the TLD. I'm also a supporter of Obsidian, but it scares me that the domain is under the whim of the Moldovian government and could get shut down/redirected if someone who uses Obsidian Publish decides to write "bad" stuff about government officials since the TLD doesn't allow that.

Or, if history is a guide, there will be a few really nice generic libraries written and a sizable minority of developers will adopt them as pseudo standard to fill the void. Then the Go team will do what they want, fracture the community, and alienate those who expected your described path to be the one taken.
Tesla is AFAIK the only automotive giant that designs its own chips. All the rest buy them through their Tier 1 suppliers based on certain module specifications.

Given the current protracted chip famine, maybe they want to consult Musk before doing some radical change. (Perhaps founding a common chip factory with the rest of the car manufacturers?)
Try really thinking about it and I think you'll see that even with fractional reserve banking, if you add up all the debt and credit, you'll still end up with exactly zero dollars.

Well that seems extremely niche.
Maybe, if the movie was shot in 3D and intended to be seen in 3D. Dune wasn't. I had the same problem as the grandparent. I wanted to see Dune in IMAX, 2D as the director intended, but everywhere I looked, and I looked at the neighbouring countries too, the IMAX screenings were all in fake 3D.

I had to settle for 2D in non-IMAX screening, but at least I could find a screening in English and without German subtitles...

Anyway, I dislike 3D cinema even when properly done. It only looks good at high framerate and with deep depth of field. I prefer my 24fps and shallow depth of field.
Seems you left the comment at the right submission then as Obsidian supports all of those things.
Where 3d movies failed is the complete and utter lack of streaming content. Content is king and the content remains locked behind paywalls. People owning actual 3D TVs were required to buy expensive movies. Meanwhile, netflix, amazon prime, youtube, etc. stayed (mostly) 2D because the intersection of people with the right hardware and the interest to pay for content was not a large enough market.

It's a problem of a lack of standardization and studios who have been producing 3D blockbuster movies jealously guarding their content to the point that the vast majority of 3D TV owners would have an extremely hard time getting their hands on it.

VR/AR has the same problem. Build it and they will come does not work. It's going to be an empty room with nothing interesting happening until somebody fixes the content side.

For something like the metaverse to work, basically it needs to be compelling and addictive. The novelty factor wears off quickly otherwise. Second life briefly had that but it was a bit too weird for a lot of people and also required a lot of patience, bandwidth, and was underwhelming from a technical point of view.

It’s true that fraud and corruption will always exist but it’s also true that it’s less prevalent in a capitalist system because it’s more (not completely) transparent than any other system that has been tried by humans so far.

> along with the shareholder value myth (the idea that companies should be (may even be required to be) entirely short term profit motivated out of a duty to shareholders

The only myth here is you thinking that "shareholder value" = "short term profits". Amazon (in the past) and uber are counterexamples of that.
I was pretty sure none of the 486 CPUs absolutely required a cooling fan (though I only had a DX2/66MHz): I remember Pentium II being the first CPU I've seen that absolutely required it (came with one integrated on the second computer I assembled for myself), and I distinctly remember having trouble testing an AMD CPU a year of so later on a computer I was assembling for someone else because... well, it wouldn't even POST without a CPU cooler.

Luckily I did not fry it and after adding a cooler it worked just fine.

I don't remember if AMD or Cyrix CPUs were worse though.
It also seemed like the original intent was to support generics and metaprogramming through code generation and AST manipulation, the argument being that code generation and AST manipulation are the most general way to build complexity and specialization from a simple set of primitives. I personally don't think that generics and generation are mutually exclusive, but if they were, I'd side with retaining simplicity over the new feature.
For games you can use gamemode.

You run the game with gamemoderun and it will do few adjustments for you, including adjusting the CPU governor.
There were even selected for that, but we talk about a different species Sorbus domestica that is like a small pear. Sorbus aucuparia is the wild one.

Both edible if processed, domestica is cultured by its fruit but pears are better, so is rare nowadays unless you live in a very cold place.
In one generation in the US we went as a whole society from most private p2p conversations not being logged and monitored and recorded by the government, to most private p2p conversations not only being logged and monitored and recorded, but available to the state at any time without probable cause or a warrant (FISA Amendments Act).

iMessage, WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook Messenger, Instagram: all of these are stored on the server effectively unencrypted (in the case of iMessage and WhatsApp, via the chat backups, a backdoor to the e2e encryption they promise). The state has access to all of them at any time. To top it off the carriers and a million different apps are constantly logging your location history for all time, for every member of society.

If you think that isn't one of the most useful and powerful databases in the history of mankind, I question your imagination.

The massive damage, which may just be existential, is not apparent to the USA just yet, but it will be eventually.

The balance of power has shifted even more dramatically than just about ever before in history, in any country in history. Alarm bells should be going off left and right but nobody seems to care and it's just business as usual.
> It sends an email every day and I can reply to it, and the response is stored in an SQLite database, in plain text.

Maybe this is obvious to other readers, but I love this portion of it. I think it's one of the critical details to making things like this work. It's easy to built a tool that you "just remember to use" but the issue then the tool is implicitly asking the user to modify their workflow, which isn't always trivial. So well done.

Another simple example: one of my favorite features in Slack is /remind. It can do recurring reminders, reminders way out into the future, and is as simple as typing `/remind me "do the thing" in 6 months`. Critically, it's in Slack which I'm using all the time anyway. It's not tucked away into a calendar I won't look at, or in a place I have to remember to get to. It's right there, and it's really easy to set another one up. I've thought about building a separate tool to replicate this, but I know it will never have the same utility without being in an existing workflow.
English writers differ greatly. Masters like Kurt Vonnegut write short sentences with only one message in each. "So it goes".
As a non-mathematician this seems to be lacking a little something. Would you not want your paper to provide some indication of what you're attempting to communicate and why? Or is that information (as the joke goes) possible, and therefore trivial, to infer?
All I need is to see people’s names right above their heads.

Jokes aside, Obsidian being a Electron application is not a issue. The app starts in under 3 seconds for me, barely uses any RAM and CPU usage remains stable and low.

If you want to actually contribute anything to this thread, feel free to give feedback on specific issues you find, that it's using too much CPU or whatever. But as it stands, you're not really adding much here.

> What will likely happen is that the users will design generic libraries themselves. There will likely be a couple, and eventually they will converge on the most useful features. Then the Go team can just get inspiration from that I guess.

Most likely yes, or as stated in the ticket, they'll take the existing proposal and implement it in golang.org/x/, where they've had some success fleshing out the design of new packages before incorporating into the standard library. It's worked out well, as early adopters can adopt and generally have a painless transition once included in the standard library.

I agree with iterators and immutable collections -- it's been painful working with trees in go, so hopefully that gets a bit easier now.

Honestly, I'm excited to see what will come of generic functions for channels. Being able to write a generic Dup(in chan T, out ...chan T), or a CtxRecv(context.Context, chan T) (T, error) to cut down on some boilerplate select statement.
