Not "rules", just this rule. It has to do with typographic considerations that apply to old typesetting technologies that are no longer in use.

> Why should we change language to appease lazy software developers?

It's been done.

For example, in Spanish it is no longer the rule that "ch" and "ll" sort as if they were distinct letters (this change was made in 2010) precisely because that was such a difficult rule to implement. And that was a 256 year-old rule per-wikipedia:

The digraphs "ch" and "ll" were
considered single letters of the
alphabet from 1754 to 2010 (and
sorted separately from "c" and "l"
from 1803 to 1994).

For another example, in Spanish capital letters were required to not carry accents, but now they are allowed to not carry accents. This was due to the use of overstriking on typewriters working to accent lower-case letters but not upper-case letters (apostrophe would collide with the glyphs for upper-case vowels). But the technology to resolve this has existed in the Spanish-speaking world for a long time now, so the rule was finally dropped. (Not accenting upper-case letter can lead to ambiguities that are annoying.)

It's not just precedent. It's that the original reason for some typographic (not even orthographic) rule is simply not relevant in 2022.

And it's not unreasonable for either French people, non-French French speakers, or just non-French French-non-users to propose the ditching of hard-to-implement French rules. Now, this particular rule is decidedly not difficult to implement, but it is an annoying rule to apply as a user -- I should know, since I speak and write French (though I am not French).

Also, it doesn't matter what the French Academy says, or what the Spanish Royal Academy says, or what Webster's dictionary says, or whatever. Language evolves, even to their consternation. Moreover, developers don't have to care that much -- I18N/G11N is fun enough, and employers have to care for legal reasons, but rules like the Spanish ch/ll rule can be much too hard even for non-lazy developers, and the Royal Spanish Academy can and did have to change, and it was for the better.
And so we should just leap to consolidation from the get-go?

Thanks, no worries.

You're right that Java doesn't have this performance problem because it (apart from primitives) has no implicit copies. (So the code wouldn't copy, it would return a reference, hence no allocation.)

I think what you're trying to say is: programs written languages with value semantics can implicitly create more objects, which (in some cases) have additional allocation/lifetime tracking in languages with automatic lifetime management. So maybe one solution is to prevent copies in most circumstances, and when you do need to copy, make them explicit.

But I think this conflicts with Go's philosophy as well. First, in highly concurrent programs, copies are necessary. A mutex/atomic will become a bottleneck; sharing is bad for performance. This means that copies should be part of most types in the language. (If they aren't, you'll run into issues like not being able to pickle when using multiprocessing in Python [1].)

OK, so we need copies. But clearly, I shouldn't have to write `a = b.Copy()` if b is an integer. That's too verbose. And if everything has a `.Copy()` call, that leads to visual noise and it's not clear when copies are actually expensive. So what set of "blessed" types should be implicitly copyable? Java picks primitives, but this means it's basically impossible to create an int-like object with value semantics. I think this is bad. C++ is at the other extreme with "(almost) all objects are implicitly copyable" but some people dislike how forgetting a & on a std::vector type might lead to a huge copy.

Go has chosen a reasonable middle ground -- dynamically sized types like arrays and maps are not implicitly copyable, but "cheap" objects like structs are implicitly copyable. This means that when you see a Copy call, it's meaningful. But this means you run into these situations when an implicit copy interacting with lifetimes/garbage collection causes a slowdown. But I don't see any other alternative. Getting rid of implicit copies for cheap types will cause visual noise. Getting rid of GC makes your language harder to use. Both of these alternatives seem worse to me.

To be clear, I'm not a huge fan of Go. Especially around the lack of monadic error handling. But I think they have done a decent job wrt. their design goals.

I kinda feel that your convincing counterargument is just ‘I have a different experience’.

I’ve never seen people reach for caches first, and then discard all further optimizations.

Or rather, I’ve seen them do that, but not out of some misplaced feeling that it was the only solution, just the one that was easiest to accomplish in very little time.
> bailouts

In 2008, the bailouts were for the banks and institutions. They did nothing for the people who had already been screwed.

Finance and wealthy interest control US policies. By a large margin, the public welfare is funneled upward to a minority with the power to direct and focus lobbying. The individuals on the ground get far less.

A free market allows some groups to become so powerful that they can exert forces which prevent competition. Then the free market ceases to exist, and the monopolies take control. Whether this is corporations in an industry or wealthy groups in a population, it is the same.

> letting people place their bets with minimal state intervention

What is the value of this freedom when all the bets are placed with "institutions" which will rob (/cheat) the investor?

Any rock you turn over, you will see preference given to people of power or wealth. The accredited financial institutions have been publicly shown to favor insiders or themselves, for example. Retail investors would be advised to invest in things that the institutions knew were bad by the firms they trusted in and paid for advice to.

There is virtually no fairness or mathema†ical equality afforded to everyone in the current systems of government. To believe otherwise is fantasy. If one is in the right group, they have a marked advantage. For the rest, they are almost assured to get much lower results from their efforts.

No, Joe Lieberman was a sellout, and Senate Dems refused to kill the filibuster, so we got the best we could get at the time. And even those insufficient changes were considered such an affront to "personal liberty" or whatever that it resulted in a historic midterm "shellacking."

It's the exact opposite, bud.

You very strongly compared my theories with QAnon, which is actual Alice-in-Wonderland level crazy. To compare financial crime theories that (given the precedent) could very well be true , to fucking QAnon is ridiculous, and I found it extremely condescending.

You can disagree, and you can bring up valid arguments, but your posture was offensive and has no place here.
Careful, the news told me that's what conspiracy theorists would say.

Agreed.

I do not think that was their point (to laugh at other languages), but rather, that there may be contemporary situations in which warrant rethinking the idioms of a language. As an aside, I do not think many people who speak english would even notice a lack of capitalization for the days of the week.
In English most people wouldn't care. You're going to get in more trouble in French schools for this than in U.S. schools (I don't know about UK schools, or elsewhere in the Anglosphere). My impression is that European culture is a lot more sensitive to these things than U.S. culture.

I'm putting myself in the shoes of a common Twitter user. To exaggerate a little, they are spoiled and have zero tolerance for friction.

Look at all the complaints regarding onboarding. They are forced to pick a server and many directly stop at that, loudly complaining. Two days to wait for an activation email? Unacceptable.

As for content preservation, I get what you're saying. At the same time, I do believe that people are not used to the idea that their old media is purposefully deleted, automatically. Or that their toots and instance account can disappear at will. Those are new concepts and frictions when coming from a central platform.

To illustrate that point, Facebook has multiple giant data centers that host nothing but stale content. That pic you posted 7 years ago, it's over there. You will absolutely never ever look at it again, but in case you do...it's there. These massive investments underpin my idea that users expect their content to be persisted. If this wasn't important, Facebook would not do this.

I think the complexity of content preservation is that social media has various uses. You can chit-chat and use it as a casual conversation tool, yet others use it as a broadcast channel. Some may use it for record-keeping. Creators may build up a portfolio of rich media posts. Some people may be fine with the chit-chat deleted, but for many other uses it would be not acceptable at all.
If its from IBM Telum processors, this is the weird processor where a processor's L2 cache serves as the L3 and L4 caches of other processors. The processors network with each other, notice when they're not using all of their caches, and shares that cache with things far away (ie: in side the box, or even outside the box).

This way, IBM can overprovision L2 cache and "not worry" about it going unused. Remote L2 cache is slower than local L2 cache, but its still SRAM and should still be faster than DRAM to access.
The problem with long term support for my Android phones has actually not been the fact that Android devices have incredibly short security update windows. That issue has been somewhat mitigated with the newer Google Pixel phones which have five years of security updates.

The biggest issue for long term cell phone support is, even if we get an OS with a 10-year security update timeline like Rocky Linux, will the phone itself be able to make calls on whatever cellular networks exist 10 years from now? I have a number of 3G phones I bought as recently as 2018 which became paperweights in 2021 when all of the cellular telcos in the United States stopped supporting 3G, forcing me to update to a 5G phone. Is 5G going to still work in 10 years? Or are the telcos going to continue to convert perfectly good phones in to landfill?

As someone who has a 15-year-old laptop which is still a perfectly good Linux server (its screen went out two years ago, but it was a perfectly good desktop computer until then), it’s annoying seeing phones I bought less than six years ago be useless on today’s cellular networks.
This is different. In the case of the VC who bought shares in the startup, they at least have the price they paid for the shares.

In the case of crypto companies who create their own tokens and then use them as collateral, they never actually paid anything for the tokens they own. There's not even a cost basis. It's entirely made up.

Not only is what the crypto companies doing much worse, but it is rare for VCs to leverage their investments in companies. It's not like their fund is levering up 2:1 and buying companies, like a PE fund does, because in the case of VCs their investments are usually not producing cash flow. But in the case of some of these crypto companies, they were levering up using collateral of tokens they made up that they never paid anything for.

It's much, much worse than anything recently seen in finance. CDOs were bad in 2008, but at least the mortgages were a secured claim on a physical asset that someone actually paid something for.

> Weird that this is framed adversarially (men vs women) when it doesn’t have to

If women decide to either take a planB or or get pregnant and give birth to a baby, why should a man cary the financial consequences of that decision?

> In procreation men are involved, but women are committed

How? Women can get a pill or abort, men are commited to pay for 20+ years of something they didn't want.

> Do your part - don’t leave it to chance

So, would you tell women this? "You don't need abortions, just do you part, don't leave it to chance! Pull out, condoms, and double condoms!"? Also, double condoms are outright dangerous, so is pulling out.

Yes, this is the idea... you didn't want a kid, a mistake happened, you need a way out too. With modern medicine and some quick action, having a baby or not has become a fully womans choice.

Having done something similar to what you've done a few times before, I say consider finding a way to move in with your parents sooner rather than later if that's your backup plan anyway. If you can get out of the lease early then you'll give yourself way more wiggle room in terms of how long it will take you to get a job and what opportunities you'll have in the mean time. You're talking ~9 months of rent, which isn't a trivial amount of money no matter where you live.
> Bit torrent is a staggering success.

There is no way to inject spam and ads to the torrent and little incentive to fake seeders/peers to make people download the wrong one. That's why. It's not a communication method, it uses other communication methods to distribute torrents/magnet links

> Email is showing some flaws now a days, but how many other application layer protocols do you know that were designed 40 years and still widely in use.

Frankly we nearly had that in blogosphere. You could federate what you want to watch via RSS. You could discuss under the post. There was even mechanism to get which post referred yours via pingbacks (but of course got removed due to of course being way to distribute spam. The thing it lacked is some kind of place to be endlessly fed whatever is now popular (as it is trend for every popular social platform) and general seamless usability.

But it put entirety of curation up to the user, don't like the blog ? Don't subscribe it, no mod to tell you what to do nor someone injecting shit into your stream because mods decided this thing need to be promoted now

I think a single employee netting even a single digit percentage in a year's worth of effort in improved performance for all of Google is an astonishing accomplishment.

> Try being hospitalized without insurance. You'll find out really fast

Actually no, you still won't. Because the hospitals send out fraudulently inflated/overitemized bills to help their negotiating positions.

To know how much medical care actually costs, you need to have "insurance" and read through the itemized bills and explanations of benefits. The top line large number is the fraudulent amount that has no basis in reality, there is an "adjustment" based on the rates the "insurance" company has actually agreed to pay, there is the amount the "insurance" company pays them, and then there is your portion. Adding the last two, or taking the first minus the second, is as close to knowing how much something costs as you can get in this fucked up system.

Also it bears repeating, never pay a medical bill unless you're damn sure you're responsible for the amount [0]. Even if you have "insurance", often you'll get sent the fraudulent bill right away, and it will take a month or two for "insurance" to bother doing their job. Also billing departments have no problem blatantly lying to you about your (non) responsibility for the fraudulent bill, since it might get them more money.

[0] Of course some times they have you over a barrel like ongoing care getting denied if you have an unpaid balance. In which case you just have to eat it and then hassle your "insurance" company for half a year to get your money back.

I am a parent. It's not that I don't think some children should be vaccinated; some should. Overweight, diabetic, etc. We know where the risk is, and we know the vaccine reduces serious outcomes. It's recommending it across-the-board that I object to.

Now if your argument is "what's the harm?, why not vaccinate everyone?" my answer would be we don't actually know what the harm might be to these kids later in life. No one does. Probably no harm, I guess? Maybe a 3/1,000,000 chance of harm? no one knows.
