I don't know nothin' about Go. But this complaint really surprised me:

> Go not letting you do operator overloading, harking back to the Java days where a == b isn't the same as a.equals(b)

Does this guy really not understand that in a mutable language, (eq ...) is not the same as (equalp ...) and should never be confused with it?

Also: operator overloading is the spawn of Satan.
Alright, have it your way.

"that isn't a punishment in KSA" – well, it actually is. Beheading is beheading. You're splitting hairs at this point. You didn't say "isn't a punishment for cheating", you said "isn't a punishment in KSA" period.

There's that accuracy you wanted.
The End of an Economic Illusion
One goal of a project like this is to reduce the number of trucks on the road, which reduce quality of life for people living near and using the roads, regardless of what powers them.

it's kinda a shitpost
I sincerely suggest you to read the history instead, starting from the scandals who have followed all recent pandemic declaration by the WHO: H2N2 (1957), H3N2 (1968), SARS-CoV (2003), H5N1 (2004), H1N1 (2009), MERS-CoV (2012) ALL OF THEM ended with inquiries about their nature, all of those conclude that NO SUCH MEASURE suggested by WHO have had positive effects except for the private lenders of the WHO.

I think that's enough to conclude that on one side peoples are to fragile to Bernaysian propaganda, on the others there are criminals who need to be evicted for the sake of humanity. Sorry for the rude tone, but that's is.
By the same token it's impossible to say what goes on in the mind of an individual who goes through a sudden change in their personal evaluation of the asset they just bought.

If they buy the title to the Golden Gate Bridge from you and then try to cash in and suddenly realize they have been had....well it's only fair game if they come looking for you with the intention of making themselves whole (and then some)

Or if they are civilized they'd go to the police and they'd be the ones coming for you.

As you see the subjective theory of value can be extended to everything and anything. It doesn't stop working once the transaction is settled. Per the subjective theory of value the transaction can always be reversed: judicially, politically or violently.

That's the reason why scammers who are smart try to put as much geographical and jurisdictional distance between themselves and those who were scammed
I don't have a horse in this race, but as for "Go" vs. "golang" - I imagine people use "golang" as it's a bit more clear that you're talking about a specific thing (the programming language), as opposed to a fairly common English word (and a board game, and probably some other uses).

From https://go.dev/doc/faq#go_or_golang:

Is the language called Go or Golang?
The language is called Go. The "golang" moniker arose because the web site was originally golang.org. (There was no .dev domain then.) Many use the golang name, though, and it is handy as a label. For instance, the Twitter tag for the language is "#golang". The language's name is just plain Go, regardless.
Blog post is just one part, This person is whining about critical feedback received on HN at Twitter. Screenshotting users and comments for Twitter likes. For someone who doesn't like Go , they surely obsesses a lot about it.
Easier to search for things online with a unique moniker. I would use "golang" whenever I would talk about the language to IT people who may not know about it.
I remember a guy in a community that I frequent that build a small trailer that had fixed solar panels, he had build one for a reason I don't remember and afterward some companies were interested and that post was showing his second one he had just sold. It was a bunch of panels on an A frame so essentially one side had awful sun visibility but not the other. People wondered why he did it in such ways, as that meant that half the time they would be useless, why not a moving platform on a central pivot that you can adjust? Well turns out it was cheaper to add panels on the other sides than building a more complex frame that allowed pivot. I'm sure it could have been cheaper to build a system sure (maybe not in his case considering it was on a trailer), but I have an hard time believing the maintenance cost and failure potential is worth it. You can just add more panels... they are starting to become that cheap.
A large organization like Alibaba spending the effort to get Android running on their own RISC-V platform seems like a clear sign that we're on the cusp of seeing RISC-V development and adoption snowball in the next few years.
Don’t throw data governance out with the bathwater
For me, the goroutines + channels + select is what makes Go leagues above any other popular language.

As far as I know, no other popular language allows you to read from multiple queues at the same time, which is an extremely useful pattern in concurrent programming. The only way to "select" from multiple sources in other languages is to use some kind of poll/select syscall on file descriptors - and even that is very limited, since kernel (at least Linux) does not allow userspace programs to create private file descriptors for intra-process communication - they must always be bound to some file/pipe/socket.
Mexico is one of the few countries that legally allows remote work on tourist visas and a common complaint is that remote workers are driving up rents.

Allowing unrestricted access to your country by remote workers will have economic impact.
> * How much money would you hope to arrive?*

I'd be so happy with just enough to cover rent, food, utilities and my pets' (minimal) expenses. Nothing extravagant, nothing for splurging.

I try not to talk about personal stuff on HN, but I guess today is an exception, here's a bunch of context you didn't ask for:

I moved out of a bad home environment at a very young age, while I was still a student. Juggling being a full-time student and being a full-time employee at the same time took a serious toll on me. And then I never got to take a break or vacation, never had time to 'reset', because rent is always due in a few weeks, I just had to keep working and working and working. Hence the burn out.

To make matters worse, I like to work as a generalist. I do development, graphic design, web design, writing, marketing, and a bunch of other stuff. I love this, but it's really hard to find people who are willing to bring on relatively young people for such a role.

Startups are open to it sometimes, but I've had some not great experiences where they've been borderline/outright exploitative.

The cost of living is very high where I live, and it's generally hard to find companies willing to pay someone my age a proper salary on which they can live alone, unfortunately. :/

It's not all bad though. Luckily I have some amazing people as friends, and they're a great support system. And last year I found an amazing therapist, and I think that has helped me a lot.

> Do you see "light at the end of the tunnel"?

I think I do, yeah. (But it's a tiny speck, faaaaaar away!) I've been though worse, and I always do find a way to get through it, it's not like I have a choice, right? :D

I would also not say I'm particularly depressed at the moment. I kinda just feel exhausted a lot lately, I would really just love a break, honestly.

I very recently started trying to find work as a PHP backend engineer. It's never something I've done full-time, but it's a language I've used extensively since I was a tween, and I have a lot of fun with it, so I think that would be pretty awesome if it works out :)

Anyway, yeah, sorry for the huge wall of text, dunno if it's something that interests you, haha. Thanks for asking this question though, I've had fun going through the other responses.

The issue I always see on those is the pipe from the upstream reservoir to the generator gets knocked around and dislodged a lot when there's high water. It's less reliable and more maintenance intensive compared to solar it seems. Though it is more mechanical maintenance which is more friendly to more rural areas.
Just wanted to clarify, is the the shitty javascript the CookTime javascript or the other website's? We're not the best frontend programmers, any feedback is welcome.
I used to travel every 6 weeks in my 20s for work and it was fine. I won’t travel at all now and it’s also fine. People will figure out what works for them, there will continue to be high paying jobs that are flexible.

Probably because EV trucks would need to go through the current Brenner motorway, that is a very trafficked road, from Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenner_Pass#Motorway ):

The ever-increasing freight and leisure traffic, however, has been causing long traffic jams at busy times even without border enforcements. The Brenner Pass is the only major mountain pass within the area; other nearby alternatives are footpaths across higher mountains at an altitude of above 2,000 metres (6,600 feet). As a result, air and noise pollution have generated heavy debate in regional and European politics. As of 2004, about 1.8 million trucks crossed the Europa Bridge per year.
Is anyone shipping Universal Binaries for Mac? I thought most are shipping 2 versions, or just letting Rosetta handle things. Additionally, I don't think this iteration of Rosetta is a "decade old", but rather, is a new product with the same name.
The percentages will work out to what they need to be to generate sufficient revenue for government. I disagree fundamentally with the idea you can tweak them independently solely to be fair to certain groups.

The tax on land+improvements is fundamentally different from the tax on land when different users are considered. Large condo buildings are high value improvements so taxing only land value represents a huge savings for them. Single family houses are generally structures worth only a small fraction of the land they are on, often less than 20% so the savings are marginal. If you adjust the land value tax to generate current property tax revenues the buildings will pay less than they do currently and the homeowners will pay more.

I agree you need the whole system, perhaps implemented gradually. If you change just the property tax portion you offer homeowners increased expenses without any benefit.
I think it depends a lot on your emotional approach to work. For me, I'm a decently good engineer, but at my heart I'm quite extroverted and the thing I like most about working is being around smart people and making friends and stuff. The engineering itself is not the core of my existence, it's getting to live the role of the engineer. I guess I also don't mind putting headphones on and focusing, and I really like getting distracted out of that because, well, I like human interaction and helping people and stuff.
Becoming rich in capitalism beyond what you can earn from your own labour often requires exploiting some imbalance in the system. That imbalance is very regularly something we find out about later and the general public considers unethical. Whether it's the sweatshops of the clothing industry, sitting on science like tobacco/oil, the predatory lending of the banks... Every industry does it and it relies on getting rich and getting out before people find out.
The point of these articles and other opinion-making (such as right here on HN) is that we don’t choose tools. We are given the popular tools. They are popular because other developers chose them at the companies were we work. And they chose them because they thought they would be suitable for the purpose.

So if you want to do everything in your power to prevent a tool you think is terrible from being more popular - you can do very little apart from writing opinion in blogs or forums, improving the tool, or provide better alternatives.

Shitting on a technology might seem like the least noble of the 3, but it’s likely quite time-efficient compared to the other two. It’s certainly not useless.
Also honestly it's very toxic to anybody right of center. It's the type that says "we're so accepting" when really they only are of certain stuff. Lots of pronoun people and making the mascot "non binary" is needlessly shoving their ideology down people's throat. Not a problem in the U.S. because it fits with the corporate woke ideology but sure as hell gonna be if they want more worldwide community.

It's also way too hugboxxy and tbh that feels just as toxic some times as the alternative. Positivity to the point where it's obviously fake and forced and insincere.

Edit: howinteresting I can't reply to your comment but you are proving my point. At least you people are being more honest that it is intended to exclude a bunch of people.

I don't think it's that messed up. If you really want to make something that qualifies as a charity (or a for-profit business) then you can just do that separately. The existence of this foundation doesn't get in the way, they're a home for the trademarks and a few other things but otherwise they don't have much bearing on what you would do.

But there are some people at the foundation who would make it their goal to hire more developers, if the funding was there, it currently isn't.
It'd be far simpler and more efficient to use a reciprocating engine to drive a heatpump via a rotating shaft. As a bonus, you could capture the exhaust from the engine with a heat exchanger and use that to heat the house as well.
"12 factor app" is exactly as meaningful as "24 factor app" or "100 factor app", i.e. not at all.

Who gets to say how many "factors" are relevant? What's the common thread of the 12 factors?

Democracy is a conversation where we, as a society, craft policy.

What makes it a democracy is that all members of society participate in that conversation. Freely.

Anything less is mere tyranny.

But if we need a way to manage spam, lies and the other poisonous forms of conversation, then empower the individual to handle that. Because we do not trust you.
You are defending generic restrictions on speech, but the NetzDG makes very specific restrictions - such as prohibitive (up to €50 million) fines if something claimed to be illegal (by a mere complainant, not a court order) is not taken down within 7 days, and within 24 hours if it is "clearly illegal", resulting in severe chilling effects.

Try to defended those instead.

(Yes, no fine is levied if the content is not taken down, and turns out to not be illegal. What sane company will take such a risk?)
Not in the browser but if you want the best "tries to be accurate" version of this concept I recommend Space Engine. Have yet to see anything else that comes close.
Very true. I’ve seen so many needlessly constricted roads when there’s a group of slow cars hogging al the lanes with clear road in front of them and a huge pack behind.
Can someone, anyone, even very vaguely support this person’s claim?

It isn’t beyond the realm of what I deem possible, and I’m reminded of allegations by Michael O. Church

But it would also take a lot for me to put this into my ‘probably true’ or even ‘probably not true but behave as if it is because it could be’ Bayesian priors.

Hundreds of thousands died with a positive PCR test, yes. But then everyone who died had one taken. Certainly, a number of those died because because of this particular infection but the average COVID death was a very old person who had two or more preexisting conditions.

So the real question is: how many have died who would not have died of the flu or RSV or Andenovirus or Beta-coronavirus or any of the other innumerable causes of respiratory infections?

Not to mention, this has nothing to do with people younger than 40 or even younger than 60.

Therefore don't buy the latest and "greatest". Wait for the benchmarks. Or build a "promise inflation" model of the manufacturers.

> but that's an expected consequence of installing the agent on a host

When installing for logging purposes this is not expected or desired. It wasn’t at the point that I encountered it, but I don’t believe the documentation notes this anywhere still.
Everything is not falling apart, though certain institutions may be falling apart.

In America, there's definitely been a breakdown of belief in its own institutions. Far more people are skeptical of things like journalism and Silicon Valley; it really wasn't that long ago that the former was constantly salivating over the latter, but now it's more of an openly vulture-carrion relationship because that caters to public sentiment. People who I would consider "normies" even don't trust law enforcement and the FBI anymore (not that they ever should have). Even the education system from K12 to college is increasingly being seen as a joke and an outright racket. We also went from the President being a more respected position to one deserving of relentless tabloid gossip. Even if one's "guy" is in office, I don't think we feel the same about it the way we did even as recent as Obama, and his administration was when we really began to see the social cracks forming.

Civilization ebbs and flows, but I think the current sentiment is unprecedented in my lifetime. This is not a high point by any stretch of the imagination, and while I see "everything is collapsing" to be hyperbolic, it seems inevitable that many things we thought were rock solid are in a transition period where either they will reform or one day be replaced with force of some kind.
I do not know about Japan specifically, but some developed countries do quietly monitor people that spend significant amounts of time in their country for violations that would require a proper work visa. It is not safe to assume no one will know -- I know of cases like this where people were flagged.
> Why does the Go compiler suddenly care if we provide explicit values now? If the language was self-consistent, it would let me omit both parameters, and just default to zero.

Without analyzing the rest of the post (which I read without having the skill to fully comprehend), this stuck out to me.

Perhaps the language behaves one way and not another by design? It's abstraction. By using a Struct, I'm telling the function "don't worry what is in this one box of data, just take it and process it as best you can" while defining two inputs to a function says "I demand that two pieces of data be present".

I don't think it's an inconsistency to see this behavior.
This is dangerous bs. Easy to swallow for the uneducated masses.

Putting all moral consideration aside, imagine you could totally depopulate two continents of your choosing. Why should any problem of modern economics be solved by that?

The concept of depopulation is simple enough to fit in a single sentence, it leaves out the real problem and its vast complexity (our linear economies and lifestyles attached to it), conveniently some one else is to blame and with all that, it is compatible to xenophobia. It ticks all boxes.

Of course, no problem would be fixed, the only thing you would buy with depopulation is time. The real problem is our unsustainable system, which is independent from any population count.

>We are too many people for what?

Is the question you fail to ask and answer. And going further this path of stupidly easy enemy stereotypes leads to all the societal atrocities you may have heard of.
Well, the big reason I'm skeptical is that the group of people who don't like "wokeism" seem to have pretty diverse identities. It's hard for me to see many similarities between irreligious business magnate Elon Musk, vaguely Catholic political blogger Andrew Sullivan, and my full time Baptist preacher cousin-in-law - I'm not sure I could identify any other policy question they all agree on.
Doing something progressive is probably the right way to go. I'm not sure how large a drop in property values merely announcing the policy would have. I'm also not sure how long a time window would be necessary. I think if the change is sufficiently gradual it might be possible to do so without compensation for either mortgage owners or property owners. Of course for that to be true it has to still make sense for current mortgage owners to pay their mortgages. I think that suggests a window size of larger than 25 years, but I'm not sure how much larger than that it would need to be.
Quantitative easing (sometimes mistaking called "money printing") isn't directly inflationary. Because when central banks buy bonds, they do not pay with normal money. Instead, they pay with a special type of money that can never enter the real economy (as to not create inflation). This special type of money are called "bank reserves". And bank reserves can only be used to 1) settle interbank transfers and 2) buy more bonds. They can never leave the loop of the banking system. So the next time you see scary looking charts showing that the total amount of money increased a lot in the last two years, keep in mind that that "money" includes bank reserves that are stuck in a closed loop. This is also why Japan, who is the king of QE and "money printing", barely has any inflation.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
quite amusing how sheltered Americans are in thinking that a little political tension is a danger to their own country

As an American, allow me to be even more inflammatory. Americans think that everything is falling apart because we've collectively never had a real problem in our life.

The amazing thing is as an American, I can ignore TV, all sources of news, fights on Facebook, etc. I've done it for years. Nothing bad happens. In fact the only effect is that I am blissfully unaware of all the minutia that are leading people to believe everything is falling apart.
The problem with spreadsheets is that they are a straitjacket for many of the users who don't realize that there are so often better ways of achieving their ends.
