Super fun! Spaced repetition is unreasonably effective. For some volunteer community work, I do a lot of memorization of texts with peculiar usages, and nothing quite beats speaking it out loud in a projected voice to get the rhythm of it. Leveraging your ear for rhythm is a huge advantage.

Short term rentals can have significant advantages over long term - for example, it's painless to "evict" a short term renter in almost every jurisdiction, but once it passes 30 or 90 days in some areas it becomes a multi-month process.

Once upon a time, motors were incredibly expensive. Not just the motors, but the logistics for the motors. The care and feeding of a coal burning steam engine requires lots of space and people with shovels.

So factories had a single motor, a giant steam engine that fed a complicated web of pulleys and crankshafts.

Electric motors killed those old single motor factories.

The same logic results in a single locomotive pulling a giant train. You need a human per locomotive, keeping the messy diesel in one place helps a lot, diesel engines need a lot of maintenance, etc.

In 2021, electric motors and batteries are cheap and tiny. Trains on a dedicated track don't need humans. Automated swarms of small motors are the future.
A tag can be changed. Barring the extremely unlikely chance of a (non-malicious) hash collision, the commit hash will always identify the specific commit intended by the referrer.

As commit hashes ought to be globally unique—the same hash can appear in more than one repo but they will all have the same content and history—GitHub could offer a shorter form of the URL which omits the user and repo names, in exchange for a longer minimum hash length. This would require creating an index of all the commits reachable from public repos, unless they already track that.

Anecdotally, people who consistently vote for Republicans are less likely to identify themselves personally as Republicans than in the analogous Democrat case. (The media made "Republican" a dirty word, but didn't really change anyone's mind.)
I do that with books. I read mostly on my phone, but I'll search for a hardcover 1st edition of favorites and try to get them signed by the author. That's worked pretty well with Stephenson, less so with Dostoevsky.

This is open source software. Perhaps at this phase they're not interested in having you as a user?

You seem to have a lot of expectations & be uninterested in the underlying technology. Open source is about more than "things work as advertised;" it's also about picking good tech & insuring we have open paths to the future we can advance on.

Your belief that "Needs to be a lot further along," applies to who? Yourself? Everyone? This seems like a great pitch to me, at a great time to get onboard.
Everything that happened to a Baby Boomer was the most extreme ever. All other generations before Baby Boomers and since the Baby Boomers have had an easier time than the Baby Boomers.

I am of the opinion that there are a lot of parents that wanted a baby but didn't really want to raise children.

Most of this stuff comes out after all of the principals are retired and/or dead. This is true of government issues as well, take Tuskeegee. Nobody went to jail for that.

And you have to consider the "chain of presenting false information." Is Facebook gonna take the hit? "No, we were just doing what we were told.

To put it shortly, the tone is so pointlessly aggressive that it obscures what accurate information the post contains. The information itself is also presented in a haphazard manner, seemingly chosen to maximize the critical intention as opposed to clarifying things for the reader. Some info that would be potentially valuable to the reader is simply not there, purely because it doesn't fit the "bad Golang!" overall emphasis of this post. E.g. what about pointing at newer novice-friendly prototyping languages with a better FFI story than Go? There's quite a few of them: Nim, Crystal, the new language Hare etc. But you won't find any serious mention of them here, or any comparison of their benefits and drawbacks.
The headline and the paragraphs lead up to an illustration how the IP type in Go is inelegant because of several shortcomings in Go. It's a perfectly acceptable instrument to the argument.

It immediately follows up with interesting discussion about how it's acceptable for a team of experts to use Go. I think he's wrong, Go is perfectly powerful in the hands of novices. And I actually think a team of experts like Tailscale would probably be much better served by choosing Rust.

But that's all besides the point. The article is excellent, fits our forum and is a great basis for discussion. You are not using the flagging feature as it's intended to be used.
It is! There's nothing wrong with the current laws, they're just incomplete.
10-20 years ago, someone who wanted to work a bit while traveling, might have taken a low-end local job, or taught English, to make a little income on the side. So, governments decided how they wanted to handle that.

Now, I can have a US income deposited into a US bank account, and decide to temporarily move somewhere for 6-12 months, either with my employers permission, without, or as a freelancer who doesn't need to worry about this.

100% this breaks the rules of a tourist visa, yet it's commonplace. And most governments have no alternative visa. Not because they legitimately want to ban tourists from working for a couple of months from their overpriced AirBnB & spending money like a tourist, but because it's not yet addressed by most travel or immigration frameworks.

Stop playing dumb. This is plain as day an accusation of hypocrisy (for which you have NO evidence.) The only good arguments against the prohibition against harmful substances is when the prohibition would do more harm than the substance itself; this cannot be shown for tobacco. This is why you and others who defend the tobacco industry are always desperate to change the subject. You think you can gaslight me into ignoring the intent of your malicious rhetoric? Sincerely: fuck off. I wish to never see another remark from you again.

I used to work in film, and every once in a while I get a script to read, passed around because it is "too good to be made". One such script I read about 2 years ago had the premise of an archeological discovery, rapidly verified and with duplicates found all over the world proving "the rapture" happened back in the year 1000 AD. The modern world realizes we're in the 2nd century of the 10,000 year reign of Satan. All hell breaks loose, of course.

Economy and politics always go together.

Optimizing the economy for the retirements funds (creating favorable conditions for existing big companies) has eliminated the paths to prosperity for the new generations (you cannot run your own shop to outcompete Loblaws or Walmart, and a cashier job there will never afford you anything more than bare survival). This is discouraging people from starting families and having kids, so the government began outsourcing population growth by importing people from other cultures with lower standard of living. This ignites political division in the society where the far left sees anything beside a shared room a privilege and the far right wants to deport anyone who isn't a 3rd-generation local.

Keeping the real estate bubble from popping has served somewhat well the real estate investors, but made property ownership impossible for many people. The political response is unsurprising: many question the whole concept of owning real estate, it's becoming increasingly hard to evict a bad faith tenant, and aggressive homeless people actively disrupting the life of nearby real estate owners are seen as victims and not malefactors.

The corporate media is doing their best to steer the discussion away and people are buying it. "Fair" isn't somehow when the median salary can reasonably afford a single-income household comfortable to raise 2+ children. It's now about how your fellow minimum-wagers should use the pronouns and how promotions from toilet scrubber to shelf stocker should be granted based on the skin color and historical oppression points, while the actual oppression of the former middle class by the corporations is happening right now.
Why's this flagged? It's not poorly written and makes good points. I don't agree with many of them, yet I still up-voted because it makes good points.
Well said. I've been a great fan of Clojure for a long time but what stops me from using it for clients is the attitude in the Clojure community that libraries are favoured over frameworks. That's not to say there aren't a few web/REST frameworks in Clojure-land but they are invariably the product of a few individuals with no community support. And they wonder why Clojure has negligible adoption.

Tourism that overwhelms the location turns it into a tourist trap; whatever it had before becomes a veneer over the main industry, which will be tourism.

In some places this is incredibly visible (think Las Vegas Strip vs Las Vegas) but you can also see it in many famous tourist destinations.

Of course, large cities like Tokyo are quite resistant to tourism, just because of how big they are - certain areas and attractions may be tourist heavy but the city is still Tokyo.

By now it's up to at least 7 (going by my clone of 5.12-rc1 that I had lying around), and it's becoming more likely.

Even if it wouldn't fall under fair use because it broke DRM, I don't think the big labels want to risk a case against someone ripping for personal use only. There is too much risk that the story of the big giant trampling on the honest little guy making a backup will go viral (or anything else that would be fair use except for DRM laws). They know there are a lot of us who don't like DRM, but we don't quite have the power to change things, a few viral stories and the laws will change. (the treaties that require DRM can be renegotiated fast if there is political reason to do so)

> Suppose a person is infected, but he's showing no symptoms, and doesn't even realize he's infected ... hit by a transport truck

It's easy to invent a scenario that wouldn't get counted correctly.

Here's one that wouldn't get counted correctly with your method:

"Suppose a person is hospitalized for diabetes and would have a 95% chance of surviving, except that she also has covid which reduces her survival probability to 40%."

There are two or three orders of magnitude more hospitalizations for [diabetes + covid] than [massive head trauma when hit by a truck + covid].

So maybe we should use the counting method that is least inaccurate overall, and not try to optimize for rare events?
The reformation didn't just change the educational needs for priests, it split off a significant portion of it's population out of the church.

But data can't encapsulate values. My friend sent me a chart asking why were pushing vaccines for kids when only .001% of kids were dying from COVID. I looked at the chart and saw that 1000 kids had died from COVID and thought 1000 kids have died from COVID!?! There's no objective way to agree on whether a number is high or low. A lot of values transcend the underlying data, even when "the science is on your side". I can't imagine any data that would change my values around abortion access or gay marriage.
One of my bosses quit Microsoft in the late 80s, right before the company exploded. Your mistake isn't as big as that.

> musicians will have to earn their income by playing live

Yes!! This is how it's supposed to be. The music itself is not scarce, it's the artists who are scarce. Society doesn't need this copyright rent seeking system. If artists want to make money, they should need to actually perform.
That, frankly, would be a small price to pay to stop hearing arguments about specialness of that generation.

We have tens of microservices written in Go.

Go is good for onboarding new devs because it's simple. Our existing PHP devs were taught Go and it was painless. Jumping from PHP straight into Rust would be pretty painful, I think. Finding Rust devs isn't easy in our town.

But I agree with most of the points. You got to be very careful when writing in Go, because there are many gotchas. So many gotchas that I had to write a large document describing all the conventions and rules to remember to write bug-free (hopefully) Go. This "Go with conventions" reminds of the days when you'd try to simulate OOP in C - it works but error-prone.

Many of the problems are caught early with good unit and integration testing, however, just like with scripting languages. In my experience, most of the bugs in production in our Go microservices come from logical mistakes, not from misusing Go.
And sincerely, how do you propose that they be stopped from spreading as quickly based on your criteria or correct spread? Honestly curious. Who should decide what ideas can be labeled bad and what ideas tolerable or good?

Also, no, it's not a fairytale. Words and expressions of ideas are one thing, coercion and physical violence are another. It's very possible to generally legally stop people from the latter while respecting their right to the former. It's done all the time if imperfectly and the much more obvious danger for bad social traits is a system in which ideas are repressed coercively under the excuse that expressing bad ideas might somehow limit individual freedom.

>And QAnon/Pizzagate, "Stop the Steal," and Ivermectin are the answer?

What an absurd way to twist narrative. These ideas obviously aren't the answer. A system that lets people compete against their expression with their own freely expressed better founded ideas is the answer. Media-induced and politically convenient hysteria aside, it has worked well for a long time in some of the freest societies in human history, right to today. The repressions on supposedly socially damaging ideas we had before that were far more pernicious to thinking and action than any number of QAnon followers or pizzagate believers today. Where do you see the decline you mention? And decline from what? Compared to what previous superior state of social expression rules?

If you want gatekeepers against these ideas then who? The government, which regularly takes mendacity to extremes no private organization can match for level of harm? Or possibly major media outlets should be responsible for "slowing misinformation spread"? You know, media organizations like those that have happily sold multiple major policy lies during decades of their existence and which have cheered on wars, military campaigns and vested narratives time and time again.
Do you X? Sure, why not?

I am not suggesting anything even vaguely like what you are saying.

The compiler should emit whatever the code it sees says to emit. If it neglects to arrange to close TCP connections, they won't be closed. So what? I am not interested in TCP connections right now, or I would patch up that bit, in response to the warning the compiler spit out. I have other things to worry about right then.

The release build will insist everything be taken care of, so there is no "other language". You are just permitted to get there by a route you choose, in place the route Cargo would impose now.
Crap. One of three for me. I'd have had a house by now if it weren't for the fact I had to pay back $120k in student loans. Heavy drain on my finances for years. Finally paid the damn things off earlier this year. In some ways I did the stupid thing by moving to an area where the property costs were beyond me, but it's where the people I know live. I was so very alone where I was before.
If the democracy is actually working and elections not fortified, why do so many US politicians predate the collapse of the Soviet Union. Things seem like they are falling apart because these people have been holding on to power for generations.
I agree with your first two paragraphs.

To the extent that our present time is at all unique, I subscribe to Robert Putnam's thesis that much of what we see today can be explained by the drop in social capital in American life over the past several decades. Less socialization means less trust in other Americans or in the government, fewer norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness, and increased polarization. There are various reasons for this, television being a prominent example. Surprisingly, it seems as though these trends were firmly in place well before the internet or 24 hour news came along.
