Honest question:

Do you think Generics will be an overall win for the Go language, or will they be overused / end up making code harder to read / harder reason about?

I kind of hate looking at Go code containing generics. What previously was elegant and easy on the eyes is now annoying and muddled by the additional layer of abstraction. I'm saying this with sadness, as someone who fell in love with Go back in 2012 and still writes it at least weekly.

Is it a better bet to move on and go full Rust, rather than bother with wherever the goggle golang train is headed?

p.s. Even though code generation is [also] annoying and perhaps not ideal, I've rarely needed to use it and kind of liked that it was inconvenient - forcing me to think about problems differently. Certainly some problems will benefit from the addition of generics, but is it really enough to justify the added complexity? I wonder if this is a case of tragedy due to vocal minority.

p.p.s. Generics in other languages like Java or Scala seem fine, as they are "kitchen sink"-style "all things to all people" languages. Such behemoths are nearly always clunkier and less easy to read than pre-generics Golang.

One of the few things I miss about giving up my landline a couple years ago is that I pretty much have to give out my cell phone number for anything that needs a valid phone number. (yes, I could use Google Voice or some sort of VOIP number but that starts making things complicated.) I used to be very selective at giving out my cell number.

Ask HN: What Makes a Winning Argument?
An argument that is technically victorious would conclusively disprove or render indefensible an opposing claim. But that doesn't make a "winning" argument in the sense of one that wins over other people, even among the most rational individuals. Why is a logical and sound argument not sufficient enough to convince others? What does it take for such an argument to win?
This was my experience too. In that time I would have had to reinstall most LTS distros a couple of times or regular distros many times.

I have heard that in-place upgrades are getting better but back in my Ubuntu days I never had luck. It seems like you are always going to slowly accumulate cruft that the installer doesn't fix.

I don't think productivity improvements like that are good because of the time saved, but the mental energy. Remembering and recalling all the various keymaps and interfaces to the many pieces of software encountered on a daily basis is not a trivial task, even though it feels effortless.
One of the reasons I left a company recently, despite it getting better, was how it took over a year before I could start working on SSO (despite it being critical, super-duper-high priority item) because it took 3/4ths of a year before we started getting user data necessary, then I spent fixing stuff that atrophied due to similar issues.

We were also over a year into "how do we setup direct access between on-prem and cloud" where I stopped attending meetings because within two or three meetings we always got back to starting point, whereas I joined the first meeting with reasonable, implementable solution.
The comment was specifically talking about not paying child support. 180 days is the limit in Colorado.
Sorry just saw this. But "worth" is not calculated by money every time, no? E.g. we're not paying for oxygen while breathing but I wouldn't consider "weather costs $0 so it is worthless". But (continuing from the same example) if the weather is being hard to breathe due to pollution, I seek some action to fix this situation. That was what I am trying to find out, how could one enforce some payment out from this system, but can't see any workaround yet.
I don't see it either.. maybe a Signal employee posted this comment to try to justify phone number collection because they can sell those at a premium (or a secret order from the Gov. forces them to do it).

Also, what I want is accounts protected solely by username and password (actually, just a 50 character password without login would satisfy me)... this is one reason why I am slowly moving away from gmail. 2FA doesn't help me because I use my own device to login and if they get compromised, I am screwed either way.

Tether mints the tokens upon deposit of fiat on Bitfinex exchange OR when the Tether peg increases above $1 too far. Users are incentivized to do this as well (deposit dollars onto bitfinex, get new tether for that 1:1, sell new tethers above the peg on the open market, pushing the peg down)

Circle/Coinbase use the exact same mechanism.

These kinds of stablecoins are destroyed only upon explicit redemption. Not when sold to someone else on the open market.

It’s not that different from a brokerage account’s deposits. People don’t actually withdraw that much because they don’t need that much cash. They keep their cash in those ecosystems waiting for other trading opportunities and add more from other sources into the exchange.

I know it’s absurd to assume tether functions as described, 99% of the time for 99% of the value. But the market is showing the same thing with stablecoins that are better governed.

For the decentralized/permissionless/uncensorable minded people, The best bet is for other kinds of stablecoins to grow faster

This video focused too heavily on the flaws of their prototype (vacuum chamber quality, the bearing housing, the angle the rocket came out) and the video production. None of that is nearly as interesting as whether it's possible, and what the hard problems to solve are.

I gather the issues are:

* Keeping the centrifuge from tearing itself apart once it loses the payload.

* Ablation of the skin of the payload from hitting 1atm at hypersonic.

* Aerodynamic instability from emerging from vacuum at tremendous speed (?)

These all seem like hard, but solvable, engineering problems. Undercuts the argument that this is "fundamentally impossible" like the video claims.

Also I didn't note "surviving acceleration" as a deal-breaker. Maybe for satellites or squishy humans it is, but launching raw materials into orbit would be amazingly useful, and e.g. blocks of steel don't care about g-forces

> ... how is a novice web developer supposed to know what is missing?

That is a great question. Is it the job of the tooling to prevent a novice developer from shooting themselves in their foot? Do we need higher-level abstractions in our frameworks that are analogous to memory safety in programming languages? Perhaps.

Alternatively, I don't think that security practices are particularly hidden. Anyone who's used the web knows has used a login form. I would give most novice developers the benefit of the doubt that they're going to be curious and look into that.

I would argue that it is, in part, their responsibility to learn these things. It's our responsibility perhaps as stewards of the secure web to teach and enforce best practices. I don't think baking in these best practices into frameworks does these developers any favors, except that it allows them to focus on something else.
Oh, I didn't think about that. It'd probably take some interpretation of the individual game protocols to get over the hump of the latency, but probably doable.

This is how both Vue and Angular work.

You have a “data” as a model sitting between the DOM and the controller (mainly methods and watchers). There are some gray lines, like computed properties, but otherwise the controller can run without the DOM and vice versa, you can easily force the model into a state to see how the view will look like.

A lot more testable than the old spaghetti of onClick and getElementById().addEventListener.
They did not. Even when they were under the settlement agreement and had to prompt for installation of another default browser at first boot IE was still included in the OS and certain items opened in IE no matter what your default browser was set to. This is the same situation. They are not blocking setting of the browser for general urls but for edge links. Edge links are used by particular software in Windows. For instance the help system always opens pages in Edge.

Whether this is the correct thing for them to do is debatable, but it is not the behavior which got them in trouble during the early browser wars.

> I do not understand this argument.

The unfortunate thing is that, I think, I understand your side. But something happened, I read some book or heard some talk that placed a seed of doubt in my mind. At first it was just a seed and I oscillated back and forth between being 100% materialist and between entertaining the proposition that there is something beyond matter in this world. But as time went on I began to shift towards the "non material" interpretation for consciousness more and more.

It's not an explanation, I agree. But there is nothing to explain. Me claiming that consciousness might not arise from matter is not an attempt to explain it. I just see no way how it can be investigated in material terms. If you see a person on the street there is no way you can tell if he or she is conscious. And I don't see a possibility of there ever being a way.

Sadly, I don't know what started this doubt in me, so I cannot share it with you. You brought physicists for some reason, and I know a few, like Schrodinger, who thought about consciousness and came to the same conclusion. Here is his quote: "Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else." I haven't read about Max Plank, but heard he had similar views.

If I had to guess my starting point was a book called "the problems of philosophy" by Bertnard Russell [1]. He tries to answer the question "are there any statements to which all reasonable men would agree". And one of the conclusions the book comes to is that you cannot claim anything as objective without assumptions, and that the most objective thing is your subjective experience.

For example if you saw a cat, turned your head, and then looked back at the cat - was the cat there when you were not looking or was it gone? In the book Russell convincingly demonstrates that if someone maintains the cat was gone when you were not looking - you cannot prove logically to that person that he is wrong. In other words - you would not be able to start with his worldview and lead him to contradictions. Hence his "theory" about cat disappearing cannot be disproven without assumptions about how material objects behave.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I wanted to reply.

What? The OP is trying to look at the premise of the post through a lens of race – non-white women are often fetishized by white men for their non-whiteness. I mean, shit, look at... any porn site. And they're right – fetishization makes for a totally different dating experience, a different experience of The Thing.

Where is the racism here? Is just mentioning the idea of race somehow racist?

I would guess commodity plumbing like hooking up the front end alongside a data store in the backend, and other stuff like auth.

> It seems a little like cheating to put modern microcontrollers inside the cartridge that do all the heavy lifting.

As a sometimes hobbyist homebrewer, instinctively I am inclined to agree. But I'll argue the counter-case.

The Game Boy (and consoles like the NES and SNES) were intended to be expanded with additional hardware in the cartridge, from the beginning in anticipation of new technology. There were commercial GB games in Japan that included an infrared transceiver, for example. Same with vibrators and battery-backed save RAM and so on. While extra cartridge hardware was never more than marginal on the Game Boy, it was fairly prominent on the NES/Famicom and especially the SNES.

And it was used to make full 3D games for the SNES. Much of Star Fox is drawn with 3D polygons, and would have been impossible without a co-processor to do the 3D rendering. So it includes the Super FX chip on-board, which is a fast coprocessor with vector facilities. In some Super FX games, the console's baseline hardware was basically relegated to being a glorified framebuffer displaying the coprocessor's rendered output.

And in some cases, no amount of extra hardware will circumvent the limitations of the hardware, which makes it a legitimate programming and game design challenge, IMO. You just can't display a full-screen bitmap on a Game Boy without tricks. There simply isn't enough onboard video RAM to hold a distinct 8x8 tile for every tile on screen. No coprocessor will work around that. It might give you an infinite source of tiles rendering a 3D scene for example, but you still have to shuffle them in and out of VRAM, which is a major bottleneck for complex Game Boy designs aiming for full screen and full framerate effects.

The UI is not only more polished, it is a web application packaged natively. Take that all you naysayers who insist you have to go native to write decent mobile apps.

It is not only a web application, it uses fucking mithril which hasn't seen an update in like 5 years. Take that you clueless hipsters who insist you have to use the latest reinvented framework with a yard length of dependencies to build modern UI.
I could be completely wrong on this, but I think there's a bit of positive punishment at work.

If you do something quickly, and it is of high quality, it will probably get noticed, and your reward in addition to a sense of satisfaction, is more work. The satisfaction high won't override the punishment of more work, although salary will. However, salaried employees don't get paid more to do more work (bonus notwithstanding.)

Knowing that, it's not a far jump to realize that you can minimize your work but keep your salary, so long as your work output doesn't dip enough that you get fired.
There is a way out of this conundrum and it is absolutely not to double down on traditional gender roles or to throw our hands in the air and say "it's evolution!". That way is to embrace and encourage sex work, to be open to non-monogamy and other non-traditional arrangements, deprogram ourselves from all of our subtle and not-so-subtle slut-shaming, stop pretending the naked body is illegal and sex is bad or dirty, stop dramatizing and fear-mongering over the impact of STDs, and just generally embrace a broader, vaster and more open perspective on sex and romance and intimacy.
I wonder if the following idea has occurred to anyone else?

We have more and more kinds of accounts, financial products, online services, etc. that would benefit from some kind of real in-person verification at points in the process (initial application, maintenance, changes to account) that are imperfectly done with credit checks, questions/answers, logins, etc.

We have Post Offices in nearly every corner of this country. How about turning them into a kind of value-added identity verification service where any company wanting/needing an identity verification could rely on the Post Office to accept someone in person to prove who they are (through fingerprint, document, etc) and be the 3rd party to make this proof easy?

Sure you would need to have normal fraud protections, etc. but I bet the act of having to come to a post office would make things very secure / reliable. And it would give the post office a new function. I heard of this being done in some other countries.

It seems like a way to avoid us all having to pay for fraud so frequently.
