It's definitely more streamlined, but my concern would be that newcomers might not understand that it's just an alias. Learning Go really reframed my concept of what an interface is, and I thought that using an empty interface to represent "any type" was kind of ingenious, and helps reinforce its ethos.

An empty interface can represent any type because every type inherently implements an interface with no methods. And that's what Go is all about -- implicitly implementing interfaces.

If a newbie hops into Go and just starts using "any" I think they might assume it's a magic type that's at the base of everything, missing out on the fact that they're still taking advantage of interfaces.
I think twitter threads are what you're looking for. Find smart people like SBF of Alameda/FTX, they do tweetstorms (threads of tweets) every once in a while.

Well it's better than most language with exceptions.

People makes it a big deal, in reality it's not.
Yikes don’t say that out loud!

But seriously, the left needs to think more like this. The right plays dirty and if the left plays like this they get the same outcomes of playing dirty but is not saying anything bad or wrong.
As I understand it, this idea is quite similar to how the central scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, is understood in Sikhi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Granth_Sahib
When you write SQL yourself you get 2 major advantages over (many) ORMs and query builders.

1. There's no surprises in the SQL generated (or when it's generated) and when you are interacting with the DB. In the worst case for ORMs, simply changing a field on a ORM controlled model can result in IO with the DB. That can be pretty surprising

2. SQL, once learned, is fairly straight forward and easy to read. Once you are comfortable with it, even complex CTEs don't take too much effort to grok. I'd argue that there are minor readability gains from ORMs (in general). The biggest value add to ORMs is integration with things like intellisense. However, IDEs like Intellij are becoming context sensitive such that you can still get that intellisense even when writing SQL in something like Java.

Right tool and job and everything. However, writing SQL is often treated as if it were assembly or something. SQL is not that. It's a fairly high level DSL for set operations.
> False. France has at some point subordinated access to non-covid related health services to vaccination status.

We did not, where did you get this from?

But we should have had. If you are not vaccinated then you should be at the very end of the queue, when there is no risk for anybody else. If you die then you can be proud that you did it defending your freedom.

> Post a copy of your PhD please

Not OP but I do have a PhD (physics) and I ran to get my 3rd booster shot when it was available. Also because I looked at numbers and I happen to know how science is done (and what was messed up with statistics when reporting covid data, but that's another story)
I guess criminals in your country use nice low damage weapons, in that case I guess it works.

In my country they seem to use some kind of automatic weapons, where the odds of really missing is low :) (I have seen some cars destroyed by such weapons, I'm not sure high precision is needed to be effective ^^)
I like the thought experiment, but i would counter that i suspect the 1% that would die would be replaced by a larger volume of new group members - due to the divisive nature of "us vs them", everyone has to choose, and so the forced unity ends up increasing overall members. Forcing people to choose increased membership of both parties.

Not a statement, just a thought.
How do you handle locks and transforming data? Usually those two things is what forces you to write migrations manually.
If lockdown is considered then it goes to show how little politicians know about the virus.

We need to treat Corona the same way we treat the flu and we should start now.

As an example the current number of hospitalizations here in Denmark is about 50% of the worst period for the 2017/18 flu.

The thing is that various governments have neglected hospitals and health care, that is the real problem that must be dealt with.

Does anyone know whether it is possible to purchase a legacy license (and don't expect any update once they move to subscription model) for IDA right now? I'm preparing to get into reverse engineering but haven't looked into IDA because I'm still sharpening up my C, assembly and Operating System skills.

Actually, for a hobbyist, maybe the Home edition is good enough? It does have Pytho scripting capacity, local debugger (I guess I can just use Windbg for windows) and decompiler (although it's cloud based so I'm not sure what does it mean).

Edit
just checked the quote for IDA Pro and it's some 5000+ USD, it's a bit heavy for me.
A bunch of the price trackers are buggy, they'll get fixed eventually, no real reason to get excited.

It would be interesting to know what happened internally though.
I feel like every time Apple's anti-sideloading, anti-browser-(engine-)choice practices come up, there's a chorus of, 'Consumers have choice! They can go elsewhere!'.

Which is predicated around the one & only one other smartphone market actor not being controlling sinister exploiters.'It's ok that we're bad, because there are other good people.' 'If you want choice, you have it, just not here' is, in such a small pool, imo, not sufficient. The vise-like grip imo is engaged in deep anti-trust anticompetitive behaviors; there being a duopoloy rather than a monopoly is an uninteresting distinction to me, even if one of the duopoly still allows some freedom.
Exact opposite from me. I just cannot use windows anymore. Windows 10 feels like windows xp with adwares pre-installed.
maybe “felt like” is the important part?

just spit-balling here as a non-lsd-user, but I do have the experience of “writers block” when I feel a program I wrote is too complex, I feel like it would be better to scrap it and start over

perhaps the effect of LSD is more anti-anxiety of approaching the problem despite its complexity, not improving your IQ, but lowering your inhibitions that otherwise prevent you from problem solving

(I am on the side of things that drugs in general turn parts of the brain off, rather than somehow making you superhuman, but maybe there are parts of the brain we could do without from time to time)
The science looks pretty interesting
You're ignoring his more important point that you will not be able to get the critical mass necessary to make it useful and true on a collective/societal level. Believing that you can ask people to work less, and that the lost income (and subsequently access to critical resources like food) can somehow be supplemented with a garden that many people wouldn't even have access to the space necessary to implement, betrays a lack of understanding of the economic situation of most people. How many proles rent rather than own, and how may have access to fertile ground?
Word of mouth. When some new business opens, people notice and tell their friends. Also, sometimes people will ask to be advertised to. When I enter a store, I'm looking to buy stuff so go ahead and show me the stuff. I don't actually think of these as advertising at all. One is friends telling me about cool stuff while the other is the business doing what I explicitly asked of them.

The problems start when people start trying to sell my attention to the highest bidder. That's unacceptable. My attention is not theirs to sell. Not once did I consent to having information forcibly injected into my mind. I will resist it to the bitter end no matter the consequences.
Crown corporations exist as a counterpoint to your claim. They are often not strictly required to be profitable, but are expected to be.

Screw that 300km of power lines built in the 70s, it is the last half a meter that makes the difference....
I think were witnissing a major hack/breakdown of the space.

Wouldnt be surprised to see a big crash now.

Seems like hackers found a way to manipulate the rates. Let's see if they found a way to get their ill gotten gains off of the many platforms affected by this.
A thousand times yes, but again, I know that's not something that's possible.

What I'm objecting to is it not being possible for even the old farts like me who want it. Google and co.'s contributions to things like e-mail and websites have made it more and more unfeasible to self-host and manage these services. It's a bit like how you're _technically_ free to farm your own food, only not really because you can't comply with the regulations surrounding growing crops (no I'm not kidding, Google and gasp).
I think it's fair to say that with lower stakes you can definitely take less time on each telescope. The Webb is a miracle of engineering, but a lot of that miracle goes towards squeezing it into a pretty narrow fairing.
Bug in CMC, presumably. Coinbase Pro has it at $48,273. Y!Finance has it at $32,402.18, down 30%, but they source their data from CMC.

The only price that matters is what you personally buy/sell at.
The implication of "allowed" is that they have the choice or ability to do otherwise. The most effective tool against covid-19, the vaccine, has already been widely deployed. Most other solutions are generally just virtue and in-group signaling.

Politicians are followers, not leaders, they do what they think their constituents want. Ultimately what action they take depends where you are.
Have you tried the Nix package? Not sure if homebrew has the same issue.
You do realize that you're responding to a comment reframing the USA left-establishment's covid vaccine rhetoric, right? Point being, how do you know the left isn't playing like this?
Also, the premise is wrong. Lots of people that saw Gangnam Style liked it, they spent a nice moment watching it. They contributed in exchange with one or multiple views, and maybe a like, to promote this kind of content.
I (a hetero male) have been sexually harassed by a woman in the workplace. What you call "normally vaguely annoying behaviors" I called "being stared at like I was a piece of meat."

It's neither fun nor funny.
Can you expand more or provide a concrete example for the second point? What kind of database-like searches are you thinking about for spatial data? Things like range-queries can already be (approximately) done. Or are you thinking about relational style queries on data associated with each point?
The comment you are replying to is not a novel take. This stuff has long since been thought of by some strategists on pretty much every side of every issue for about as far back as we have record of this sort of thing. Heck, revise the wording a little bit and it could pass for something some enlightenment thinker half a century ago would have said about whatever issue they were talking about that minute.
SSI uses public key cryptography, are you familiar with it? Adding a blockchain allows creation of a registry, smart chain interactions, notarization, many other features.

How does it only benefit speculators?
Their code is full of things like:

type fileOps []any // []T where T is (string | int64)

Go does not have neither generics nor union types. So people have to do this kind of thing :( I feel sorry for them.

Reminds of Java 4 (15 years ago or something) where code was full of this crap:

List /* <String> */ values;
Map /* <String, Object> */ map;

Some devs spent a whole week doing nothing other than removing those commented out generic type declarations once Java finally got generics!
You've definitely got a point. But that ~20kHz figure to my knowledge was not just determined by "can the ear hear this" but by "can the person hear a difference". But yeah, theoretically, it's possible that all that science was only conducted with, say, headphones.

Like with all things science, everything is only falsifiable, never 100% provable. But yeah, I think we're indeed on the same page, the claims that audiophiles make are often falsified already. Or make so little sense that it's akin to "eating an apple in the morning shifts Helium's absorption spectrum by a few nm". You can attempt (and succeed) to falsify that, but it's such a waste of time and energy...
Oh no, they were sore about this like you wouldn't believe. They'd rather refuse a legitimate customer than risk a leak. I can't even say they were entirely wrong: the sensitive nature of reverse engineering makes it hard to make sure you won't get ripped off. Still, they did take this personally.
> In Java people regularly refer to a particular JDK version as a Java 17 or Java 11, even though they actually refer to versions 1.17 and 1.8, respectively.

17 -> 1.17, 11 -> 1.8, this is bothering me way to much for no good reason.

Correction - it's not 1%, it's 100%. Of both tribes.
Doesn't 'for' work as 'while' if you only give it a condition in go? I haven't written much, so correct me if I'm wrong.
I am going to go against the grain here and ask someone more knowledgeable than myself if the large number of changes in this variant is typical in virus evolution? Because as an outsider, it appears to me that studying the history of past pandemics would present a road map as to what must be modified to attenuate the damage potential in a virus. I suppose my question really is, why are we chancing GOF research, if not to use in this situation?
The US is literally dependent on Asia at large for chip fabrication (among other goods) today. The fabs in Asia are universally constructed/supplied from materials and technology sourced in China - primarily due to the most abundant material inventory (steel, rare earths, etc) worldwide, but also because of cheap labor.

Again, if you're interested in something other than what you've decided, there's Google for you. Good luck with whatever.
Did you cash out?
The UK government absolutely did this.
same :) maybe also relax rules a bit to allow type elision for structs in function calls to get python like keyword args. foo("blah", {option1: true}) would work better than functional options people use now.

Yes please, I thought of asking several times about something like you describe, but never got to do it.

Your experience is exactly the reason for I buy laptops with 3 physical buttons and a touchpad that doesn't move. Then I disable tap to click. Nothing moves around and it's very clear which button I click, left middle or right.

I also don't do any gesture except of course vertical and horizontal scrolling. Maybe pinch to zoom would be useful like on my phone. I got hotkeys for everything else I care about. Anyway I welcome this project, it improves Linux.
That's a big part of it. And that the sphere of "professionalism" has expanded too far outside of work, even when you're not actually working.
What does it have to do with distributing or running software? What did I miss from the README?

First thought is some sort of oracle attack on a defi protocol. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
How is it possible that anyone thinks 50% of all unvaccinated people have been hospitalized -- for just about anything! Seeing polls like this give me so little faith in our ability to make judgments as a country on anything non-trivial.

Seems some people have a genuine difference in the way they asses their risk.

Some people are scared that there have been 800k+ deaths in the U.S. Others say that's only 1 in 400, mostly old and with commodities, and not that big a deal.
Many years ago, I came across a very basic description of how digital anything worked. The key concept, which at the time was like a bullet between the eyes, was/is that all digital systems are fundamentally binary, they recognize the existence of noise in electrical signals, but represent 0/1 with two values that differ by orders of magnitude than the noise floor.

So, in a 5V system, zero is represented by 0V, and one by 5V. And sure enough, if you could look in enough detail at the voltages, you'd find that sometimes the zero was actual 0.001V and the one was actually 4.912881V.

The whole point of digital is that THE NOISE DOESN'T MATTER. Even in the presence of those fluctuations (which are real), the system sees only zeroes and ones, and everything is perfect, always.

Please don't be the modern EE who tells me that this is how things used to work, and it's not true anymore :)
Less about making those people safe and more about making you safe by making those other not spread the disease to you.

For example: Go ahead and drive drunk, I don’t care, just do it on your private property so you don’t kill me.

Similarly: Go and don’t get vaxed, honestly I don’t care. But viruses don’t respect borders like cars do, so if you are going to do it then make sure you are isolated on a private island where you don’t leave, or Antarctica, or mars or something.
The SQLite usage is very tightly integrated with the software. Any urgent rollback is effectively a roll-forward fix of whatever broken software is in production.
Good, now we just need the ability to declare function parameters and return values non-nullable (Forbid passing nil into a function, and declare a function will never return nil).

That would get rid of the "panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference" errors.

1984 was just an anagram of 1948, the year Orwell was writing in.
Diomond hands now everyone! It will go higher!
I think these are large vertical projects because of the nature of the problem. I.e., the data we're after is inherently obfuscated by our earthly dwelling so we need to get our instruments a long ways "out-there". And to do so incurs a lot of risk and, generally speaking, the only institutions large enough to incur a risk that large without much profit upside are governments.

Now maybe we'll find clever ways to get different data cheaply that meets similar ends, but that seems to be hinged on hope at the moment.
Any language based on JS can't be safer than Go. The end result of TS is JS which is a dynamic language.
Ok but what's the point of taking risks for its own sake? It makes sense to take risks if you stand to gain something. But a risk with only downside is just a bad idea.

Wonder how log4j is working
I am so happy about this site as a few months ago I had a similar idea after speaking to some relatives who wanted badly to blog but was just terrified of the tech. After chatting for a while afternoon in between copious amounts of tea and cake, we came upon a design that involved pen/paper or a typewritten page, and an app that would convert this into a blog post. I hope this does really well and will be sharing this with that group.
I keep my tax plans secret.

A) Because I paid alot for the CPAs, tax lawyers, private letter rulings and case law.

B) Actually talking about it to those struggling with taxes would result in them noticing they can't participate any more than driving to the neighboring municipality for cheaper gas tax, instead of anything more convenient, and could result in the tax laws changing from their widespread annoyance.

C) tax clickbait publishers like ProPublica won't figure it out for them for another two decades, which is long enough.
You could have sum types, and not generics to cover many of these cases I guess? And then Go could have the error type it kind of wants to have.
> Some devs spent a whole week doing nothing other than removing those commented out generic type declarations once Java finally got generics!

Fast-forwarding to today, could Co-pilot have saved them the trouble?
Basic carbon fiber plate in a few mm thickness is actually really cheap now, you can get custom cut quadcopter frames (with all of the CNC work included) for $40 to $50.

To the extent that it does happen it's often in situations where the mother's life is in danger, and it was a particularly nasty death in such situation that _finally_ got Ireland to change its constitution.
I have been writing C for decades, but now I almost exclusively use Go.

What I mean is that if you like C99, you will probably like Go. Go can be understood as a modernization of C that doesn't abandon C's simplicity but adds a few important facilities that C lacks.

Go obviously derives from C. It's a very C-like language. It makes sense to view Go as an enhanced C that makes slightly different trade-offs and that is applicable to a slightly different set of purposes.

That's fine and I'm all for new theories and new models, but let's let them actually make it into the IPCC and see how they are peer reviewed, how the findings are reproduced and assessed by other scientists, etc, especially before multiplying current consensus estimates by a factor of 10. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and all that.
Yes exactly, relational style queries with each data point. Maybe you have some metadata about your images and maybe you need to join against another table to properly query them. But at the same time you want to only grab the first k nearest neighbors according to vector similarity.
The reason I mentioned Solaris is because Solaris behaviour is closest to NTFS, whereas linux API is based upon Irix, which is closer in behaviour to OS/2 (OS/2 subsystem was another use case for ADS), as well as implementation on a bunch of other systems where extended attributes were treated as just that, attributes.

Comparatively, NTFS is very... flexible navigational database and a bunch of things are just "this is the default parameter set, not exhaustive".

I wasn't aware that FreeBSD copied Solaris in this (ZFS extended attributes by default create a sort-of directory object allocated linked from the file, linux supports inlining simplified xattrs for speed)
I expect all of these things you listed will be exacerbated by what’s happening on the climate front unfortunately. A gentle squeeze.
