> https is a part of the standard library and one of the elements that the op finds unique about Go.

Where do they say that it being part of the standard library is unique? I don't even see the words "standard library" mentioned.

EDIT: Look, this back and forth seems kind of pointless. This started with a statement about Go being unique for being able to be statically linked and talk HTTPS. If a language can be linked to compiled libraries, static or not, it's surely able to at least use libcurl, so I and the other commenter you replied to took it as Go is unique for being able to link statically. I assumed they meant, ignoring C/C++, static linking is rare, which I found interesting. I found other languages and asked for clarification. That's all.

A pessimistic and frankly rude reading of my comment.

Cisco also has it's equipment manufactured outside of the united states, making them susceptible to similar backdooring without x-raying every board produced.

> But because Cisco has problems doesn't mean that Huawei shouldn't be dealt with.

Cisco is not getting banned by the FCC - so the comparison is moot.
it is probably paranoia but not improbable. they have direct control of these companies and can totally do this. others like the US would have to go less direct routes for these things.
Note, did anyone see the US Congress tiktok hearing? Clearly even US Congress was not having the TikTok denials of the CCP accessing USA data.
I think the question is more in lines of "How do I know that CanDoer does what I expect of Doer to do, semantically?". In which case, it's impossible to know for sure.

For example, I could create a type with a `Read([]byte) (int, error)` method that doesn't conform to the `io.Reader` expected behavior (e.g. reads from the byte array and returns an int if byte array contains a numeric string), yet I'd be able to pass it as an argument to a function that accepts `io.Reader` - the type system won't stop me, but the behavior will be broken.

However, in practice, writing erroneous implementations of common interfaces is uncommon. Naming conventions are really important in Go, so the only way to abuse type system in this way is to abuse the naming conventions, which is already considered bad practice in any sane programming language.
Once again, absolutely amazing. Those are more details of a really interesting internal CPU bug than I could have ever hopes for.

Ken, do you think in some future it might be feasible for a hobbyist (even if just a very advanced one like you) to do some sort of precise x-ray imaging that would obviate the need to destructively dismantle the chip? For a chip of that vintage, I mean.

Obviously that's not an issue for 8086 or 6502, since there are more than plenty around. But if there were ever for example an engineering sample appearing, it would be incredibly interesting to know what might have changed. But if it's the only one, dissecting it could go very wrong and you lose both the chip and the insight it could have given.[1]

Also in terms of footnotes, I always meant to ask: I think they make sense as footnotes, but unlike footnotes in a book or paper (or in this short comment), I cannot just let my eyes jump down and back up, which interrupts flow a little. I've seen at least one website having footnotes on the side, i.e. in the margin next to the text that they apply to. Maybe with a little JS or CSS to fully unveil then. Would that work?

[1] Case in point, from that very errata, I don't know how rare 8086s with (C)1978 are, but it's conceivable they could be rare enough that dissolving them to compare the bugfix area isn't desirable.

It occurs to me , reading these comments, that Windows/Linux are not really considered to be first class citizens by those who make publishing/authorship software.

Scrivener Windows release trails far behind the Mac release, DevonThink is unavailable elsewhere outside Mac, Vellum is Mac only.

Kind of a shame , no? I understand the whole 'Artists-skew-Apple' thing, but this type of software doesn't have a lot of valid reasons to lack portability to such an extent other than catering to specific markets.

So, if you're an authorship/publishing software person, 'We're out there, and we'd love to use your software on PC.' .

Nortel networks haven't been around for nearly a decade. I've seen lots of news about 5G/Huaewi and 'core networks' only in the recent years in western countries (UK/US mainly). However, I haven't seen anything published that really reflects new risks/major backdoored products.

I wouldn't 100% trust anything built in China, but there must be some reason people are only taking action now? Unless it's just "better late than never" response after years of this.
My point was that a pixelfed instance wouldn’t necessarily need to reduce the size or quality of images if those that were uploading them were bearing the cost of storage and data transfers. I said raw because I am far from enough of a photography geek to suggest something else that would be ridiculous for casual viewing on a phone but a reasonable request for someone that will do something interesting with photos they download.
I think there is/should be a grace period though. If a retailer is provided goods by a vendor where the vendor knows their products are illegitimate, it is possible for the retailer to be unaware. However, once it becomes known that the vendor is selling illegitimate products, it is up to the retailer to then remove those items. Most major retailers have agreements/contracts with these vendors that say they must buy back any merchandise unable to be sold. This would be a normal way of handling things. Once this avenue is not pursued and the retailer continues to sell the product, then the retailer is no longer innocent.
Superb and timely. Although "Silicon Valley’s single biggest problem is that it’s the clearest way of doing things" is just garbled.

> They may be arguing against sanctions because they are ineffective and hurt the West.

Russians say otherwise. Sanctions applied since 2014 are one of the reasons for the Russian military's ineffectiveness in Ukraine:

https://www.foreignaffairs.com/russian-federation/sources-ru...

To quote the article: "The Russian military industry was heavily dependent on Western-made components and products. It used U.S. and European tools to service drone engines and motors. It relied on Western producers to build gear for radiation-proof electronics, which are critical for the satellites Russian officials use to gather intelligence, communicate, and carry out precision strikes. Russian manufacturers worked with French companies to get the sensors needed for our airplanes. Even some of the cloth used in light aircraft, such as weather balloons, was made by Western businesses. The sanctions suddenly cut off our access to these products and left our military weaker than the West understood. But although it was clear to my team how these losses undermined Russia’s strength, the foreign ministry’s propaganda helped keep the Kremlin from finding out. The consequences of this ignorance are now on full display in Ukraine: the sanctions are one reason Russia has had so much trouble with its invasion."

Sanctions can be effective but they work best in the long term, less so in the short term.

I'm not sure they did to be honest. If I had to choose something to attribute the success of python to the general non-programmers i'd say jupyter notebooks are an order of magnitude more important than any of those things mentioned.

Especially when the idea of there being one obvious way of doing things is contradicted in probably the most used package of pandas, and even built in things like list comprehensions vs loops vs itertools, then couple that with the way it does variable passing.

Can't really agree that it is easier to read for laymen than other c-like languages of its day either, with the use of underscores for class methods and indentation defining scope.

Honestly if I wanted to really know why python was successful interviews with the authors of the notebook, pandas and the AI libraries would be my targets, cause in my view they're the ones that made the language a success.

That's not how the first amendment works, as it does put limitations on the kinds of speech that governments are allowed to favor (or disfavor). Just saying it only affects employment or contracts does not act like a "get out of jail free" card for governments.

Of course, there is a ton of gray area here that the courts will have to rule on, but the whole point the ACLU is making is that they believe these anti-boycott laws are in violation of the first amendment.

I don't think you're describing friends there, that's more like being a good human being. Friends demand a certain kind of loyalty, an involvement with their personal lives, and personal beliefs. Friends seem to slowly pull you in as one of their family members, and that is a big commitment. If it works out then you have a good friend, but more often than not people are raised differently and slowly drift away. I'm only describing good friends here. There are also bad friends who have only their own interests in mind, often consciously manipulative.

Good friends are a privilege. It requires time, effort, and resources, which directly correlate to the kind of friends you will have. Many people cannot afford good friendships, especially if you grow up in a broken household. So it's not so much that friends are a solution to a problem, but rather it's a reward for being successful.
It's a bit odd seeing that in the context of 'Mountain_Skies's claims. Putnam is very noncommittal about his suggested possible causes, with the notable exception of blaming television — but blaming technology for social isolation is neither new nor reasonably possible to ignore in 2022 — although the included response to Putnam (which frankly mischaracterizes his argument) does show that he created quite a stir when he originally published the article.
The principle in question is favoritism based upon political speech.

If, say, you boycott the democratic party (e.g.), then the Biden government would have every right to cancel any contracts because of your political speech. The only way to prove that you're not actually boycotting would be to donate to the democratic party.

Woodrow Wilson was the worst president in US history. If I had a time machine, I would go back in time to kill Wilson, not Hitler. Hitler would be a no name artist if it weren’t for Wilson completely fucking up WWI and the peace thereafter.

Fun fact: Wilson resegregated the entire federal government and even went so far as to show a KKK propaganda film at the White House. The guy was a rabid racist.

Additionally, Wilson had a stroke that left him blind and paralyzed in 1919 and for the remainder of his presidency his second wife and doctor manipulated him so heavily that there is serious debate as to who actually was in control of the White House during those years. Some historians call Edith Wilson, his second wife, America’s first female president the manipulation was so effective.

I'd describe it rather as a failed platform, and I point the finger directly at the awful integration experience for developers and users alike. Alexa's skills ecosystem is painful to engage, being bureaucratic, riddled with misbehaviours, janky UX, and breaking API/data changes - all deficiencies whose consequences are pushed back on the consumer and integrator to handle.

The fact my US-made Rainbow Echo Dot stopped working entirely when moved overseas is a testament to the Alexa service team's pernicious gatekeeper mentality. Don't even get me started on the baffling inconsistencies in behaviour exhibited by Alexa when embedded e.g. trying to control my Sonos kit.

I am especially dissatisfied having been the recipient of a pre-production first-generation Echo courtesy of a visiting BDM whilst managing an AWS team in Melbourne. Super excited at the time, super disappointed now.

Perhaps I should've paid more heed to a key early warning of a restricted and rather parochial outlook: in the first year or so of operation it was impossible to register an Echo with a service address outside of the USA, and I could only set an overseas timezone by writing my own configuration front-end. Even for a MVP, in hindsight, that was a red flag.

That quote in the article, "Alexa is a colossal failure of imagination", sums up my feeling (I am not the former employee quoted).
> thinking of precedent for individuals aware of it, who knowingly perpetuated it (who can typically be charged criminally) and you’re perhaps conflating it with situations where innocent employees at a company lost retirement investments or jobs

Oil-for-food was aimed at allowing payment for humanitarian resources (you know, food) in oil, so Iraq could keep feeding people without receiving money for their oil, since money could (more easily) be used to buy stuff other than food, like tanks and AA systems and aircraft to rebuild their their quite-strong-before-gulf-war-I military, or to do other things we didn't want them to. Did we screw them on the "price" they got for it and so kinda steal the oil? I mean, yeah, probably, but I very much doubt it was any kind of major motivation for anything the "West" did.

Iraq War II was bullshit and probably a strategic mis-step, and I'm proud to have been among the minority (in the US, anyway) who opposed it and the even smaller minority who actually got out and protested against it, but we didn't need their oil. The US has plenty. We only really care about foreign oil supplies for market-stabilization reasons—it's not worth the effort and various costs to steal it from other countries by force.

Now, there was a lot of corruption and it sure is weird how a bunch of Bush-admin-connected companies landed so many giant contracts related to the war and it 100% does look like "we should invade Iraq ASAP the first time we have even the flimsiest excuse" was indeed one of those actual-in-fact-real conspiracies (multiple top-level Bush admin folks literally signed their name to such sentiments in the late 90s—I'm not even sure you can properly call it a conspiracy given how out in the open it was) but we didn't attack for the oil.

As or why the ones who pushed the war wanted it, I think there was a selfish motivation given that a lot of them were situated to make money off such a war, but also a genuine desire to improve the US position in a much longer-term realpolitik great powers game. Oil in the near term was a pretty minor concern—to the extent it was really about oil, I'd say future ability to strangle larger opponents by controlling access to oil was what they had in mind. Maybe a bit of a message to OPEC states, too.
