Gotcha, sounds like we interpreted it differently. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify, I am an old hand as JS but didn't know true parallelism had become feasible these days. Thank you, sincerely!
This isn't good for startups being able to hire and retain talent. Engineering compensation, especially for those with experience, has increased significantly over the last 2 years and smaller rounds at lower valuations will make it increasingly difficult for startups to retain talent when they can make 2-4x as much at a large public company that can afford them.

Shame.
.io is one such domain (Indian Ocean) and I won't use that domain for anything serious because of that.
Yeah. It's not licensed under the GPL or anything like that. I'm not sure it's as good as people seem to think.

> I would prefer not seeing any reaction posts and divisive opinion pieces on this forum, whatever the language or topic.

Eh, unless there's evidence a submission is genuinely shitposting--i.e. trolling the community by being intentionally divisive while not actually believing what they're saying--or is outright offensive, I really don't agree.

Writing provocative critiques, like this, has been a standard in the tech world for as long as I can remember. If the rule is "don't post anything that runs the risk of upsetting someone", we'd have to ban half the leaders in the community, including Linus Torvalds.

That’ll happen at far too late of an age for it to matter though. Parents aren’t dying at 60 when they had kids at 30. They’re dying at 80 and the kids will be 50+ when they finally get anything. By then - it’s far too late.

The recent paper from Go core devs, "The GO PL and its Environment" highlights that a major aspect of Go is its environment/ecosystem, from the very start.

But the OP, in either article, zeroes in on narrow language/STL design choices and never zooms out to consider the ecosystem and how Go works in an actual software engineering team. Pardon the vulgar analogy, but this is like zooming in on a dog's asshole and going "what the fuck is this? It looks gross and shit comes out" without considering that it is an integral part of a well-functioning whole.

It all comes down to misunderstanding each other's positions.
I'm just a simple dev in a 3-man team building an app and a back-end to go with it. Our company is default dead. Maybe some day I will regret choosing Go for our back-end. But right now it is the right balance of scalability, easy async, good tooling, great back-end infrastructure (Google App Engine and Firestore) and productivity.

I read articles like this, and think to myself ... some future CTO will curse my choices today. But then I feel that future CTO will curse any choices I make, and it won't be fair for her to curse my choices ... because I'm just trying to get us from default dead to default alive without running out of the small amount of money we raised.

Rust is absolutely not an option for us. We don't have the skills or time to write a Rust backend right now.

"Not being adequate != don't use it ever". Plenty of situations where pragmatism leads us to building things with "inadequate" tools.

Besides that, you do realize that your comment is a perfect embodiment of "Others use it, so it must be good for us too", which is the very first "lie" that he is describing?

CDs do have a copy protection mechanism in the form of flags in the subcode metadata that permit 0, 1, or unlimited copies to be made. It is used by standalone audio CD recorders to implement SCMS and prevent multi-generational copies. Everything else ignores it.
I'm not using your software, but as somebody who has had to switch personal finance apps multiple times, I'd personally want to be able to use it through the end of the year. It's easier to just start a new program at a new year.

My personal experience was that after a few weeks I just ignore it and sleep through all the noise. The actual train itself was very quiet because of how slow it moved. The real issue was they are required to blow the train horn multiple times at each road crossing. This is extremely loud, since it is a horn.

The only really odd thing I noticed was there was a wall that would squeak as the freight train approached. I suspect this had to do something with the houses construction however.
Pension funds depend on increased in production, but are run on common management strategies locking them into broadly supporting large corporations - which actually run less efficiently overall in improving production than small to medium sized companies. Also imho, the public stock markets have decoupled from having a good effect on being able to promote good fundamental value creation behavior on public companies.
I'd argue the cracks really formed in the Bush era, but began to rise during the Obama era, and skyrocketed in the Trump era (Though I am a Millennial, so perhaps that biases my recollection of timeline).

What's interesting is each reader of the above comment will take something different away from it, based upon their political alignment.

What is interesting is that society hangs on by a thinner thread than we imagine. Chaos lurks just beyond a corner. Preventing it is much easier when in union.

I think this is going to change. I couldn't find the relevant blog post now, but I believe to remember there was an initiative to provide a standard async runtime.
There is this silly thing with typographic rules — I just don't care about them too much.

They are different in any language and other than languages themselves they are rather arbitrary conventions. Use whatever typographic rules you like, as long as it communicates the ideas you like to tell...?!
On the flipside, "build it yourself because it is easy" is what led exactly to the mess at hand with git.io. It was someone's fun hackday project that quietly people and teams (including teams internal to Github) started to rely on it and then the site turned out be a maintenance burden and spam vector and needed to be shutdown.
I’m very curious what the upper limit of gas prices the public is willing to take, in a single party state. It would be fascinating to see which dollar amount tips the political scales. $12 a gallon? $20?

"Inefficiency/waste" and "slack" are very different things.

"Waste" is running an O(n^2) algorithm on a task that already has O(n logn) solutions suitable for the same dataset.

"Slack" is having 100 USD cash in your pocket even if you do not immediately plan to spend them.
Why do parents, who have a voice in how schools are run (elections) need to be able to sue school districts for something they are not doing and do not plan to do?

First things first: ask your new leadership if there's a path to another such opportunity, now that you've changed your mind on if you should've taken it. Let them know what you want. Don't assume your boss can read your mind or knows what you want.

If you don't want to do program management or product management, but thought you might in the past, at least you have learned those things now!

It would surprise me if there are, at the very least, no opportunities to mentor people and shift some of your time away from direct pgm work into mentoring or other such managing-without-direct-people-responsibilities roles. If you want to manage, are you open to doing it in PGM?

But (a) don't assume it will solve all your problems and erase feelings of regret, and (b) don't assume you'll naturally be good at it without possibly having to rethink a lot of how you work, and (c) then focus on emotional issues and work style issues directly in a forward-looking way instead of just looking at the past.

I love this, in an "alternate history" kind of way. Interesting and fascinating. It is, however, sad that the author apparently takes it seriously!

Moreso that he is a really good mathematician and writer. His book with Dubrovin and Novikov is among the best in differential geometry and mechanics, and all his other works that I read are definitely top-notch. The book about visualization with Kunii is particularly lovely.

And he didn't turn a historical crackpot after his work in math. His math works and his historical writings are contemporary!

A very interesting character, for sure. I wonder what his math colleagues think about him.

Ultimately I think it's gonna be a good thing, as a lot of public naivety re: its institutions is destroyed and things will be rebuilt on a newly defined "social contract." The transition may take generations or a new threat comparable to global warfare for it to happen though.
I paraphrased your comment, but I think I captured the essence of what you said accurately:

I feel like I've increasingly seen "pass legislation in bad faith that you know will be struck down" as a conservative legislative tactic (see recent abortion laws, bill curtailing voting rights) and I can't help but feel there should be some sort of consequence for consistently acting in bad faith.
Capping the well while burning has a huge advantage over explosives which is that it's much harder for people who don't know what they're talking about to bike-shed the process and therefore has less risk of cost ballooning over time and investing in those techniques/experience/know how often look like the more assured option even if it's the more difficult and costly technique on paper both up front and per use.
Every state has a sex ed curriculum, plus every school system outside the US. By any measure: teenage pregnancies, STD rates, self-harm and suicide in connection with gender identity issues, anti-gay and anti-lesbian violence, sexual satisfaction later in life, rates of rape and other sexual violence, willingness to call out abusive behavior, and so on, the more liberal jurisdictions run circles around the christian conservative abstinence-only curricula.

Example, teen pregnancy rates, 7/1000 (New England) to 30/1000 (Louisiana): https://preview.redd.it/hjmbpqpbnkw41.png?width=640&crop=sma...

You'd think conservatives would want the same outcomes? Even abortion rates are higher in the South!

Thanks for citing a Washington Examiner opinion piece as evidence of your assertion. Sometimes teaching kids about sexuality is meant to educate them so they don't grow up ignorant an can make informed decisions. Some people are against that.
>I suspect one of the reasons "stolen election" conspiracy theories are so popular right now is that the alternative is one must simply be skeptical of the good judgment of one's neighbors, and people don't want to live like that

I suspect it's because the major politicians of one of the two major parties overwhelmingly tell them it was. Trump says so, the Republicans who follow him say so, and the alternative is to acknowledge the guys you support are trying to overthrow the government, so it must be "true".
> Nations rise. Nations fall. Sometimes there's revolt.

I think the concern at hand (at least in the US) is that we’re on the eve of that fall or revolt, and whatever is born out of that, for good or ill, probably means a couple of really hard decades.
Qualcomm modem license is relatively expensive for a laptop. I suspect that, once Apple is ready to launch their own modem, they will include that in their laptops, too.
You are missing the network effects. Wealth compounds, capital grows, assets beget assets. If an ordinary person is lucky, he or she may win the literal lottery and may never have to work again. If a massively privileged person wins the proverbial lottery, he or she will have enough money to rival the GDP of nations and appear on Forbes magazine. The difference is hardly linear.
I work for Red Hat, we do it all the time. We often acquire closed source companies and then release the software as open-source, while continuing to offer it.

That kind of mistake is the sort of experience that makes grizzled veterans grizzled. So treat it that way; be honest with yourself and up-front in future interviews, in the sense that you took a chance, it didn't pay off, and now you're smarter for having lived it.
It seems easy enough to make a new special purpose entity, not controlled by Disney. Set the millage rare very high, even higher than it is today, and tax Disney very much.

Collect enough money, store it in a bank, and assign it to paying the bonds.

Then dissolve the special purpose entity once you have collected enough money from Disney, and let the only thing remain be the bank account that will stay on until the bond is over.
Dangerous conclusions, attempting to convince people that wearing masks is harmful.

So many assumptions are made that this 'correlation' gives little insight. For example, place of case infection is not even considered. If most people become infected at gatherings where their mask is left off, but they wear their mask in public, then how is this factored? Or perhaps those who wore masks more frequently were at greater risk of infection?

I've been to the hospital recently, and have witnessed the extreme use of masks there. They would laugh at this article.
Have you done a blind test comparing a 256 or 320 kbps AAC file to a FLAC one? At that bitrate, the AAC file is lossy in the sense that you can't recreate a bit-for-bit perfect copy of the original, but most humans shouldn't hear any difference.

A decent proxy to know that this is true is that at those bitrates, a FLAC file is often smaller than the AAC one. Yes, this makes you wonder why you'd want to use an lossy format instead of the lossless one if you have the choice ... but the point is that you'll probably have just as good an experience with a high-bitrate lossy-encoded file.
Yah exactly, the amount of positive interaction I have with people on the fediverse absolutely blows every other online social media platform out of the water. People start conversations with me all the time about really interesting stuff and most of my posts get far more interaction than they ever would on another social media platform.
At least in rust, the fixed crate[0] is probably the standard for this. Personally I chose not to use it because integer generics in rust are not quite powerful enough to express this without falling to type system hacks, at least in the stable version of the compiler.

However in C++, you might be able to mimic the API more clearly, as templating is able to do integer things that Rust can't yet easily today.

Is this sarcasm? It's truly laughable if you don't think boomers had a clear advantage in comparison to Millennials, Gen X, etc;

I'm sorry you didn't reap the benefits of the most benevolent time in America's history but plenty of your Boomer counter-parts sure as hell did. I've met enough Boomers that there is nothing wrong with generalizing Boomers as a whole. Just like a huge percentage of my generation totally gave up and resort to 'UNFAIR MEH WON'T TRY NOW'. Am in that camp? No. I don't get upset when people generalize because it doesn't pertain to me as an individual. There is some truth to prejudice

Boomers had an era of prosperity that we will never see again. My in-laws purchased their first home in 1971 for 60,000. That same home is worth 800,000+

The only reason I can even own a home or compete in my late 20's is because I wasn't naïve enough to think that any degree would pay the bills.

You might not like it, but Boomers took their hoard and pulled the ladder up behind them. It is what it is.

I wouldn't claim that a backslide is impossible, but it's important to understand that these weren't just conservative reactionary issues at the time. I have an uncle who got interracially married in the 1990s, and his wife's family were concerned about it because of gender rights - they thought that he as a Hispanic man was going to expect her to be "barefoot and pregnant".

Respectfully disagree. The only solution I found to be working is - to not turn your back. Include the son in whatever you are doing and lead by example.

Of course it is easy to say that when not involved in the situation. But in general it helps to understand why the child "misbehaved" and only then change the course, and punishment in my experience never gives the intended results.
I gave example of very successful tool used, Kubernetes works fine, did you ever heard about Kuberentes gone bad or full of bug or unusable? It's very stable and it's used by millions of people.
I think the right thing to do for the time being is to consider prolonged use of ECMO as a research practice where not everyone is accepted but those accepted taken care off as long as they are conscious or have a decent chance of regaining consciousness and making their own informed decision. Costs of doing so are part of research budget that determines how many patients can be included. Not providing care to everyone is ethical so long as we don't know if the care is going to help anyway.

In turn, research can determine
- Exactly what kind of patients are most likely to recover after prolonged use of current ECMO machines
- Potential ways to bring equipment and nursing costs down while preserving most of effectiveness.
- Ways to wean the patient off intensive care long term.

For example, the very first genetically modified pig heart transplant resulted in 2 months conscious survival. Even if animal transplants never become a long term solution, they could prove more cost and medically effective than ECMOs to buy time for own organ recovery or a human transplant.
Most US trains have a locomotive engineer and a conductor in the lead cab, and the rest of the power units are remotely controlled and unmanned. That's two employees on the train for 3800 tons of freight.

Rail where each car is powered is usually called light rail when used for passengers, but I guess there wouldn't be much stopping light rail being used for freight.

The key now isn't the motors but the remote controlling.
Felt like sharing this since maybe someone else has struggled with similar thoughts.
I was joking in that response.
VLC has supported AAC from at least 2006 onwards [1]. Yeah conversion has always been a pain in the butt but back in the time you had to convert between everything all the time anyway (the nastiest example being wma-based devices like the Zune).

I still use YNAB4 regularly. I have a paid copy from before they moved to an online model. I'm running it on ubuntu in wine. It still works fine.

I had never heard of Actual till today. It looks like it would cover my use case. I'm not sure why I would have switched, though, as YNAB4 still works for me and has no recurring charge and is fully local.
> It was gloriously easy to prototype but if you had to interface to external systems or any other thing they didn't think of, you would spend an enormous amount of effort on making it work. Some of them didn't even have any significant abstraction support.

The only one I know of that had any decent level of abstraction was the Clarion template system and I havent seen anything as powerful in any other coding tool. On a basic level its like a macro language like you see encapsulating data structures in windows .h files but because its much more than that ie put some data into it and it took and built stuff for you in a structured framework, it can be expanded to do practically anything and if it didnt do stuff you could expand it by calling external dll's which did things like popup windows for further input or processed stuff.

I remember reading that it won some code productivity thing where it had beaten factory teams from MS and/or Oracle or some other big names but this was a long time ago.

I'm pretty sure the claims are overstated so I'd want some skin in the game. I'd have to go learn conversational Spanish / able to read local cultural cues / travel there so that's going to cost me time.

Reading it back, it does sound kind of gauche, but I'm pretty sure the stated issue is a non-problem. Like I said, people have lots of trouble getting things done and I find that the things are not that hard.
