I have absolutely zero problems using mattn/sqlite3 while cross compiling from Linux to windows.

Zero.

I’m not some deeply knowledgeable go-internals core team committer. I’m a pretty mediocre go dev who spends most days fighting silly fires in the 6-7 other languages any project ends up having to deal with.

Zero problems with cross compiling the cgo version of SQLite for 3 years now.
Almost surreal reading this. The article suggests that energy consumption does not need to be considered because hydro-electicity exists. It's a fantasy that ignores any sense of economy, science and politics.
> Some recent examples of such low-level work I can think of, are: Linux kernel development, sanitizers and static analysis in GCC and Clang, new languages and their compilers and tools (Rust, Go, WebAssembly, etc), regular improvements in web browser engines, databases features.

So age 25-40ish mostly white upper middle class men. Got it.

Complaining that things aren’t exclusively for you and your background, when maybe they used to, is not novel at all. It is amusing when anti-conservative folks do it and fail to see the hypocrisy.

Mass market mainstream content tending to be low quality and unoriginal is a very different concept.
Exactly. In capitalism, if you want to become rich, successful and admired (purely selfless motivations), you usually end up being good for humanity as a byproduct.
I don't care much about downvotes, so I'll bite.

> What this doesnt take into account is the millions of people who buy their meat from local sustainable non-intensive farms. Not contributing to deforestation, or diversity loss at all.

And those lands where the animals graze were not forested previously?

"... the Knepp Wildland project in West Sussex, where small herds of cattle and pigs roam freely across a large estate, is often cited as a way to reconcile meat and wildlife. But while it’s an excellent example of rewilding, it’s a terrible example of food production.

If this system were to be rolled out across 10% of the UK’s farmland and if, as its champions propose, we obtained our meat this way, it would furnish each person here with 420 grams of meat a year, enough for around three meals. We could eat a prime steak roughly once every three years. If all the farmland in the UK were to be managed this way, it would provide us with 75kcal a day (one 30th of our requirement) in meat, and nothing else ..."

> Educating people on food miles and sustainable sources is the way to achieve this goal

Transport, processing, retail & packaging is a miniscule part in CO2 production compared to land use change & farming. This argument is probably just a deflection tactic from the meat industry. More info in links below.

Did you mean the richest? Or do you actually think he's the smartest?
The category names are often a little off. "Running" is more like endurance/cardio athletics, for example.

Th methodology is cutting off edges that cross between categories too, which in some cases I think is giving a distorted idea of how the subreddits are organized.
> The mistaken usage of these terms by machine learning experts does not change their global definition.

Ah, I see you’re a linguistic prescriptivist.

I can’t see your definition in any dictionary, which spoils the effect, but it’s common enough to be one.

> The goal is pleasure.

Evolution is the form of intelligence that created biological neural networks, and simulated evolution is sometimes used to set weights on artificial neural nets.

From evolution’s perspective, if you can excuse the anthropomorphisation, reproduction is the goal. Evolution doesn’t care if we are having fun, and once animals (including humans) pass reproductive age, we go wrong in all kinds of different and unpleasant ways.
It was pretty much a hostile take over ... quite sure they didn't let him come in and "kick the tires" on their user data.
And that is a welcome change. What I dislike about the project is that it want to be a packaging solution as well, and it is simply not a good one at that compared to the new generation one, which is Nix. Linux really shouldn’t copy Mac and Windows on everything.
Lies and BS?

If you could save a few billion wouldn't you?

It's a negotiation, and with the markets turning, he's got all the cards.

The cost of reneging is only 1bn, and the company would probably lose half it's market cap if the deal fell through
I agree. And I work at https://github.com/goplus/c2go recently. Its goal is converting any C project into Go without any human intervention and keeping performance close to C.
I guess the reason is that it is easier to cross compile by keeping everything in go? I have no knowledge of Sqlite cross compilation (on Linux targeting windows for instance) but I guess it's also possible but it makes build process a little more complex.

Node.js can take advantage of WASM which is pretty handy in some cases.
I was toying with the idea of a procedurally generated adventure/escape-room game, where I was creating a big list of puzzles and item interactions that could be randomly combined to create new puzzles e.g. key opens door, water puts out fire, guard can be bribed with money.

I ran out of steam when I realised it wasn't fun, which I think was largely because most adventure game puzzles in isolation aren't that interesting.

Adventure game puzzles generally need to be based around physical interactions with everyday objects where the interaction is almost common sense yet not too obvious, and I came around to thinking the number of these isn't high enough or varied enough for interesting combinations to arise.

If you look at adventure game walkthroughs, you'll see the same puzzles appearing over and over again e.g. fix the fuse box, rusty something needs oil, machine needs fuel to work, PIN written somewhere or hidden behind a riddle to open a lock, distract person to take something. I don't think this is from lack of originality but due to limits of the genre.

You can get around this somewhat by adding logic puzzles, magic/sci-fi to introduce new interactions, complex NPCs, a good plot etc. (which most good adventure games have) but I was more interested in seeing how far you could get with just everyday objects. I could probably make something with this eventually though.
Or, alternatively, Twitter is a shit show behind the scenes and Musk is seeing red flags in diligence.
To be honest the reason why Go developers want "pure Go" libraries is simply because they can be statically + cross compiled and used without having to carry around an additional library, especially in environments where you hardly have anything other than the binary itself (e.g: Docker containers "FROM scratch" or Gokrazy)
Yes. Like when you make an offer on a house but then your inspector finds a crack in the ceiling and you back out because the bank promised you 3.5% with no points and nothing down but when the paperwork is done you’ve got a 6% interest rate with $10,000 in fees, property tax assessment tripled, your parents who were going to help out suddenly don’t want to gift you $75,000 for the down payment, there was a murder 2 blocks away and the housing market just collapsed so paying 100% over the asking price (which was already twice what it’s worth) doesn’t sound a good idea.

In other words, have you seen what tech stocks have done in the last week?

Elon doesn’t have the money to buy Twitter, and his lenders are getting nervous that it’s a bad investment for a juvenile prank.
What anti-establishment stuff has he done? All of the negative things I see people mention about him are just general asshole behaviour rather than things that annoy the establishment.
If this is the case, you could consider bearingless fans, which should prevent them from wearing out. The only issue is you may not be able to find them in the size requirement you need.

Good luck !
You can also use cmd+opt+ctrl+power (quit all apps, shutdown) or cmd+ctrl+power (force restart) before trying a forced shutdown.
While downloading/uploading something there will be no practical difference between Wi-Fi and Ethernet unless you are on a superfast Gigabit fiber.

While on a Zoom meeting the latency introduced by Bluetooth, while slightly perceivable, isn't of an issue over the latency of being connected over the web itself.

Any wireless system would have more or less be less performant than a wired equivalent. What I'm saying is that for 99% of the people in 99% of daily use cases, that difference wouldn't matter.
I have similar feelings as you do about Elon, and take anything he says with a grain of salt. But, he’s in some (not all!) aspects the world’s most successful company leader, and he got there with exactly this behavior. Evolutionary pressures in our society and markets seem to favor this behavior (also keeping in mind the last US president).
It feels like Elon Musk read that anecdote about how von Neumann spoke with three year-olds as equals, and somehow managed to conclude that the lesson was about expressions of superiority rather than about expressions of empathy.
> Something I never understood about embedded systems work: why is the pay so bad?

Because there is no demand.
Because today, you get all the software along with hardware.
And that software is already written somewhere in China, by same people who make the hardware.

Google, Facebook, Snapachat, MicroSoft, Amazon all run their hardware R&D in China for obvious reason that the hardware is already being manufactured there. They all copy Apple, and surely think that they can become Apple if they do like them.
> If you think about it, this could be a relatively cheap way of mortally wounding Twitter. Make a buyout offer, get access to the books, prove they're lying about DAU/MAU, walk away with no termination fee paid, watch the executive team get sued into oblivion and the company tanks

That's true, but what does Elon gain from destroying Twitter?

I'd argue that Twitter actually was (and still is) a big part in building his cult of personality. Sure, it has its problems, but I honestly believe that he thinks he can improve Twitter.
This is not correct - like the person you're responding to, you're mixing up security features. For one, Chrome predates Windows 8, where this mitigation was introduced, so it can't have supported it before it existed.

I think you're confusing the general "sandbox that restricts access to the kernel" with the specific mitigation here. Firefox also had the generic kernel mitigations long ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31362935

But it's true Chrome had them first. The same thread points out that Firefox reuses Chrome's sandbox, so like in the first sentence, there are causality constraints that would make it hard for Firefox to support it before Chrome did :-)

This is exactly what people said that they liked about trump. Essentially he isn't polished and says stupid things, "just like regular people!"

Is this the new trend? Whenever a wealthy person turns out to be stupid, a certain group of people say "he's sticking it to the establishment"?
He seems to know his limits in the public. He throws low blows to US politicians, but if he has nothing but good to say about China or Xi Jinping he stays silent. He likes to punch down. That's a behavior Twitter and his supporters rewards. He is the second most effective Twitter user after Trump. It's indecent and disgusting behavior but it works.

His business process is to try many things and fail a lot, nothing wrong with that as long as some of them succeed. He jumps into very hard challenges, then fails or iterates until there is success. His full automation of of Tesla factories with robots attempt cost Tesla several years, but Tesla is still success.

His marketing is full of bullshit. He he has at least 4 vaporware announcements for each real product. For example, that dancing robot man and self-driving cars “Next Year” every year since 2014.
I think, as more or less a unique point in cryptocurrency history, that these people who promoted it also got around nothing. Many 'diamond hands' (such a strange concept for such a volatile asset) in this community it seems.

If there’s only one PC in a sea of Macs then it’s a good way to narrow it down. Even better if you can use the application characteristics to determine that someone was using a particular app at a particular time, then initiated a print. It’s not irrefutable evidence, but it’s someone that tells police that a specific event occurred, for which the suspect would be compelled to provide a reasonable response.
This would be more akin to the inspection period when buying a house.

The threat of the deal blowing up with so much on the line is what holds Twitter’s feet to the fire.
I had to chuckle at the first part.

Yes – Go is generally memory safe, with the exception of the `unsafe` package which is (obviously) not. Outside of this, there is no access to raw pointers or pointer arithmetic. The use of goroutines does not affect memory safety.

None of this means that you can't make an absolute mess of concurrency, but that's not a memory safety concern.
On the iPhone it's a security feature that it still can be tracked if turned off or the battery is (almost) empty. So that's one of the aspects.
Yeah, this seemed fishy to me too (I made a similar comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/uo5mix/comment/i8dn...). It seems the mattn/cgo version is doing a constant amount of work, but the modernc/non-cgo version is doing an amount of work linear(ish) to the number of rows. The latter makes more sense for this query, so I wonder if there's something wrong here?

How could one be doing constant work and the other O(rows) work if it's the same code (just compiled from one language to another)?
On the bright side they can probably get out of their position today for 15-20% profit. Not bad for a 3 days trade.

>Moral of the story, if (federal) law enforcement has "insider information" they're not going to share that with the public.

I agree: all I've learned is to make a doc on my oldest laptop, multi-paged and-fonted, have it printed at different public (paid or library) sources and then cobble them together and post them from a random place (not taking my phone there, either).

From what I've anec-heard, those 'rando' car stop/ mega busts are politely arranged so the cops get their bust, but the real mega-shipments sail on by, untouched.

It is sometimes hard to see through the noise, but for those actually interested, here a VERY incomplete list, just to have an idea where to start:

- Pieter Wuille

- Matt Corallo

- Rusty Russell

- Olaoluwa Osuntokun

- Andrew Poelstra

- Wladimir van der Laan

- Surae and Sarang Noether

- Matthew Green

- Eli Ben-Sasson

- David Burkett

- ... ... (and many many (!) dozens more!)

It is because of so much noise [1], that some other involved sometimes find it hard to stay friendly for an extended period of time (friendliness in this area lead very fast to dubious marketers to abuse (!) that friendliness to market they ponzis. Open source without economic tokens attract less of these people. Some people think it makes open-source + economic tokens a bad idea. Some other disagree and just either avoid the front pages and noise and just code ("cypherpunks write code") and some other struggle to find a balance and communicate more but sometimes a bit rough because of so many scams out there).

In every big community (or country or any other group) you will find nice people and less nice/friendly people. People just see the latter one on twitter (because of how the algo works), and sadly think at all are like that. Sad :(
But happily people like skc ask the important questions loudly :)

[1]: new discoveries (like decentralize digiatal bearer assets) that involve money are bound to such frenzies and therefore noise

edit: just for formatting (the bulletpoints of the list)
I think it comes down to preference, but ultimately I agree with you. There are a lot of misconceptions about "code", and when people talk about how code is either slow, hard, annoying etc, they're speaking in the abstract and not being specific. At the end of the day, "code" is really just typing what you want instead of dragging around a mouse. It's like saying "I like to use my mouse to copy and paste instead of typing cmd+c cmd+v, it's faster". It doesn't make any sense.
Silly question - but does this problem occur only when Maps is running? Or is there a background daemon doing this stuff?

Elon Musk says Twitter deal ‘on hold’ after spam/fake account report
I agree woth Tesla, it accelerated the EV market by a couple of years. Without a model considerably cheaper than 30k USD so Tesla is far from being a commodity.

Not sure how much cheaper SpaceX launches are for comparable payloads and orbits. I'd suspect they are, with e.g. Ariane developed for other thongs than LEO launches. As SpaceX isn't public wr don't have any reliable numbers. Based on some old leaked material, it is less than sure whether or not SpaceX is coonsiderably cheaper than the competition. Regardless, SpaceX is impressive.

If Starlink is actually sustainable and profitable has to be seen, it could as well just be a way to push SpaceX profitabiliy further down the road through a Starlink IPO. Now way to tell either way.
While environmental damage is a serious downside to PoW, the alternative of PoS has some serious downsides as well:

1) It's not a fair coin distribution mechanism. A coin that launches with PoS has the creators holding the entire supply.

2) It's not objective. Resolving long range attacks requires social consensus on what is the correct chain (https://academy.binance.com/en/glossary/weak-subjectivity)

3) It's much more complex.

I believe that the downside of PoW can be greatly reduced by having the emission be purely linear (fixing the block subsidy). Taking 20 years to reduce the yearly supply inflation to 5% will strongly discourage speculation and keep the price low, in turn limiting miner energy use. It would encourage use as an actual means of exchange / currency.
And I do. I'm just saying that is not operating under GPL.
