> You're reading the idea of language policing as some actual thing, like people are hanging over someone watching every word they say.

I’m not sure where you got that impression. I didn’t say anything like that anywhere. You’re just making assumptions in service to what appears to be some axe grinding.
Very naive to think profit oriented company have beliefs and convictions... Religion of money is way stronger.
But do you really need those features? Or is it just force of habit?

Learning how to express oneself consistently and with no more fluff than is strictly needed is much harder than people think. I admire people who can solve complex problems by simple means. I'm not terribly impressed by people whose obsessions drive them to write code with low readability.

What features does Java have, and Go lack, which represent a real problem? With emphasis on the word "real".
On the subject of Alan Partridge, I highly recommend the two books, "I, Partridge" and "Nomad".

This is my Goodreads-review of Nomad:

This is one of the funniest books I have read. I just love the Alan Partridge character, with all his insecurities and petty attempts to show off. I read the first book, I Partridge, and this is even better. In Nomad, Alan tells the story of his walk to honour his father – he will walk from Norwich to the Dungeness Nuclear Power Station.
Not only is the book packed with hilarious episodes, the writing is also fabulously bad – full of examples like “the wind whistling through my hair like a wind whistle”.
Highly recommended.
We are the cause, that‘s not a narrative but concensus.
Well there haven't been many good examples where strong penalties actually worked. The more draconian the penalties the bigger the issues, it seems. The US incarcerates a sizable percentage of its own population at this point and most of that is drugs related. Arguably not working all that well.
The other day I read that in a Finish housing first programs they had a success rate of 4/5 and it was much less expensive than in the past. Not sure of the kpi’s, so grain of salt, but sounds promising
Yeah I've seen the destruction that comes from removing legal/social consequences for drug abuse. Neglected and abandoned children is by far the most tragic. The community of non-addicts bears the responsibility for cleaning up the destruction, the addicts themselves cannot. That's the nature of addiction. To be clear I'm talking about the hard drugs; opiates, cocaine, meth.

I believe addiction is a disease, but treatment is elusive. Some have no desire to stop. There are also frequently other mental or emotional problems. Just feeding addiction's most obvious symptom (by continual drug use) does nothing - see this article.

I doubt whether there will ever be a neat and tidy "solution". Eventually the healthy part of society will have enough and some action will be taken, like prohibition or war on drugs, etc. Then it will wax the other way again.
Even in some of the richest countries in the world, plenty of us are on metered phone contracts. OP acting like there isn't a cost of living crisis.
> They're addicted to coffee and alcohol and cigarettes. It's possible that the problem is not the drug itself but the social stigma attached to the drug.

I assure you there is a difference between coffee/cigarettes and methamphetamine beyond just stigma.

Coffee and tobacco both improve your mental capabilities without short-term downsides. No one’s been fired for showing up with a coffee or tobacco buzz and being more productive.

Very few people would rob their friends and families for mocha money were Starbucks suddenly illicit.

Alcohol is obviously less defensible as many people do end up on the streets over it.
A good story can always use more writers, amirite?

This is a bit like listening to racing drivers blaming their car.

Could you provide us with some concrete examples? At the very least so it is possible to determine if you are trying to do something that Go clearly isn't suited for.
this brings back memories, albeit bad ones. the department i worked for it the BBC in the late 80s standardised on apricots (because "british") and they were terrible. they had such a low profile case that you couldn't fit a network card in - instead it had to go in a side bus-extension box, which was about as reliable as a zx81 ram pack. and the rest of the hardware was crap too. we eventually decided that the money we were spending on maintenance was just too much, and reqplaced them all with compaqs.
Yes! I saw a youtube video and of course, it had me believing I needed to own this tool even though I'm not a plumber.
Wage Theft is the largest form of theft by miles, but we don't see endless news articles writing about how it represents a failure of law and order. Curious.
Doesn’t the use of libgojni indicate using golang on the client? Which then might be shared in the big lump on iOS?

I’ve run into a few people that have actually deployed go on android in production. It works surprisingly well.
Not only inline completion. If you use VS Code try Ctrl+Enter. It opens a split view with multi-line generated code suggestions.
What a fantastic idea ... and without numbers to back it up, I believe this is what was effectively done 50-70 years ago through the Higher Education Act of 1965.
I think you're totally correct, more people are doing drugs, and it has barely any correlation to drugs policy.

Reading through this thread, it's stunning how shallow the discussion is about addiction and drug use. People suggesting that tent cities are the result of drug use, rather than part of the cause (and no, that's not to say people without a good home become drug addicts, that thinking is on the same level, the problem is deeper).

The economy is failing, we've past peak everything, inequality is terrible, there are more candidates for doing drugs overall, so there are more drug users. As things get worse and worse, which they will, there will be even more addicts, because life has literally nothing else to offer them to make them feel good.

For all we know, this regulation in Portugal could be doing even better than it was, say, 8 years ago, it's just that society has gotten worse at supporting its population and as a result there are so many more potential drug users. Most people aren't required for the economy to function, and it's less and less each year.

People who always said that drugs are bad mmmkay, I think they aren't happy with sensible legislation, because it makes them look stupid, so they are the first to come up with weak strawman arguments as soon as some data point turns in their favour.
They should start taxing wealth, as many of the wealthiest people have a tiny income in proportion to their wealth.
Fuck Meta, Threads, Instagram and Facebook.
I had to get this off my chest.

Facebook especially is a content propagation platform for right wing ideology, almost as much as TikTok.

At least if you're in Germany.
The amount of racist, black people hating, pro AfD propaganda, directly or indirectly is absurd.
And all reports of those get rejected.

There are Facebook groups, public, with post after post of foreigner and ethnic hate. Meta does absolutely nothing. In fact, it even suggests me more of content like it.

Instagram has hardcore porn, when reported, the report is rejected.

The while company needs to be sued into bankruptcy.
They've been stealing features from the competition for years. Snapchat was really novel when it came out, then the others created effectively the same UX. Clubhouse was a novel take as well, then Twitter added a clone of it right into the main app.

I can't actually think of the last time one of the existing networks launched a new app to compete rather than just stealing UX features, that is a new one to me for sure!
I thought this would be pro-implicit green threading, of which only Go and Haskell do successfully to my knowledge. Instead it seems to support async/await, which are very different takes.
Oh, I agree with you. I think the whole idea of legislating against machines accessing public content is a very slippery slope.
Having worked with OpenGL since around 1998 let me say: it's definitely the worst of all popular 3D APIs, and already has been since around the time D3D7 was released. It's time to let it go the way of the Dodo (just a shame that Vulkan didn't fix the worst OpenGL problem which is the vendor extension zoo).
Lmao one of these things is not like the others.
For me it was the waste lines giving me trouble. The drain lines for a tub in a house built in 1962. The size of the inlet meant I wasn't finding a drain at Home Depot.

I think part of it is how isolated the us is. We don't really have walkable neighborhoods in most of the country, which means less spur of the moment decisions to gather at a social place and more isolation since so many people are commuting in single occupancy vehicles and doing drive throughs.

Combine that with wealth stratification, Hussle culture, and the complete lack of any real social safety net and if anything I'm surprised we're doing as well as we are.

I don't think it's a single issue by far, but if I had to peg one aspect as the worst offender, it's isolationism. There's strong correlation between drug use, depression, suicide, and lower life expectancy in places with power population density (Alaska, Noth Dakota, pretty much any small rustbelt or mountain or southern town)

When there's nothing to fill the emptiness, people turn to drugs and overeating just to feel something.

Crypto mining using GPUs has crashed. Ether was the main source of profit, and the shift away from proof of work dried that up. Bitcoin requires ASICs without the market for nvidia, and recent conditions made this only worse.

Nvidia knows their biggest revenue sources today, which are growing, and is investing into their business units based on that data.

It’s just smart business.

I replied: "Old console games that are not available on PC"

You then replied the same as me but iOS, hence the "Yes? It's the same thing"

Isn't that a concern for any artist? We've had this discussion with digital art and photography, and decades ago with electronic music, remixes and sampling.

AI is just enabling this on a larger scale, which will disrupt many fields, but copyright law will broaden, and artists will find ways to adapt or change careers.

After all that, less than $200m in today's dollars. Hardware is hard!
Have you seen how many people are being left behind everyday by the economy, leaving them nothing else to feel good about except maybe some drugs?

What makes you think that drug use has anything much to do at all with drug policy? People take drugs because society is shit, not because of the rule of law.
It takes weeks for the liquid nitrogen in a dewar to boil off actually. And they're stored upside-down so the head defrosts last in that scenario.
While it's true that shelter placement has some advantages for high needs folks (e.g. older, women, or disabled), those themselves don't correlate with opioid overdose deaths. There was a randomized trial of permanent supportive housing, which is a stronger intervention than simple housing, in Santa Clara (DOI 10.1111/1475-6773.13553) where those who received PSH died at slightly higher rates than those did not and never found housing of their own.
Yes after years of playing FPS, the S in the acronym is pretty boring. I love the First Person perspective, I just wish more games would explore non-combat mechanic possibilities.

It's not a morality thing either, I am just bored of it and feel it is a massive crutch of an industry that's petrified to make a game without combat.
Generally Java and the JVM. The source code for J9 and Hotspot VM are taken from Smalltalk, which of course had a lot of mixing with Lisp. If you look at Mark Reinhold and John Rose (architects for the OpenJDK project), then you'll also see that they're Lispers.

I don't think the roots are going to be source code-based, but based on cultural transfer.
Also have they thought of just... Asking their users which IDE they use?

I wouldn't be very sure of that. It would be very hard to sell $30k GPU for crypto, like they are doing for AI, as AI requirement is different than gaming while crypto is not. The flop/s difference in A100($15k card) and 4090($1.5k card) is just 2x. Nvidia could constrain VRAM for consumer cards because 24 GB is enough for games or AI inference.

Like software that requires some time to master. I can't recount all the times when i invested much time into doing it properly, only to have it all become useless and invalidated because upstream decided to throw it all away.

With you having an attitude like you do, why should i even bother with reading your documentation? Give it 2 years and it will all be obsolete. Waste of time.

Fuck innovation. I want tools that exist long enough that i can master them.
Wealth taxes* are economically inefficient, impossible to administer, and have little popular support. Consider this: a land value tax is the best (and only good) type of wealth tax, and the people of California hated it so much they voted it out on the ballot!

I have a small connection to an early part of this story.

In 1982/3 I worked for a local data processing / software consultancy / hardware reseller doing a variety of odd jobs. One day the owner came in and said they were going to become a reseller of a new computer, a Victor Technologies machine, as computers and terminals on IBM System 3X machines via Perle protocol converters. I remapped the keyboard of the Victor to allow the right shift to serve as a 5251 Enter key.

Victor had rented space in a new office tower and held a grand opening a couple of weeks later. I demonstrated our wares. There wasn’t that much interest, so I wandered around all of the display booths, learned what they were demoing, and in some cases took over. I remember 3 distinct features:
1) variable speed disk drives, which meant the Victor could store more data than am IBM PC.
2) a built-in codec for recording sound, especially speech, and aiding playback.
3) a stylus/touch-screen monitor option, which could be used for CAD etc.

I had an option to buy a machine for half price. I was an Apple IIe guy at the time and couldn’t have afforded it anyway, but it was a sweet machine. Sadly, that didn’t matter much, and Victor went out of business soon enough.
The difference is that one view has an enormous amount of evidence behind it and your all caps sign examples are basically religion.

Poetry works, but unfortunately it depends on Python and so it frequently breaks unless you’re very careful with your Python environment management.

Installed it with your system’s native version? Good luck getting it to spawn a venv in a newer version. Used a Homebrew version? When it updates, Poetry breaks. Using asdf? Everything breaks, somehow.

I recently tried pipx and have hope that this will persist.
OpenAI has started sending out threatening letters to people who use GPT in their project name. If they don't want to be the test case for that (pending) trademark, I don't blame them.
The problem isn't homeless people who are addicts, it's politicians who are addicts.

Homeless and about-to-become homeless addicts are at the bottom of the food chain, with extremely limited agency. Their choices are basically improve (v. difficult), tread water (slightly less difficult) or die (not difficult at all.)

Politicians who are addicts can create and enforce disastrous irrational policies on an entire country.

Self-indulgence and law-breaking are one of the most popular benefits of privilege, and the fact that many "serious people" hide this behind a veneer of upper class respectability doesn't change how toxic this culture is.

I guarantee that any country that institutes mandatory drug tests for politicians, CEOs and senior executives, the entire financial industry, lawyers and judges, and other senior officials, is suddenly going to find itself making much more rational and sane decisions.

If anyone thinks I'm exaggerating, here's the former Chancellor of the UK.

I think it’s already happening for audiobooks to some extent. I’ve heard the latest voice AI and it’s extremely natural sounding with tonality and all. And audiobooks are an extreme case too with several hundreds of pages needing hiring a voice. Now they can just upload it and have the result in a few hours or so. Either the publisher themselves or the audiobook service. Hell, they could give you your favorite voice. Male? Female? Young? Old? Maybe you want a book on AI read by Steve Jobs?

Here’s an audio AI example by ElevenLabs with celebrity voices.

Facebook has the dating feature.
I created a profile.
Gave some up- and downvotes and comments.
After a while of doing so a pop-up with "dating needs to be a safe place" I need to verify my identity via a video call.
Are you shitting me?
I didn't even do VideoID when I created a new bank account, surely I'll trust the biggest data grabbing company on the planet and give them money worth content in form of VideoID.
My account was an Instagram account from 2015 which I used to create the Facebook account.
That was my 2nd attempt on dating.
The 1st was uninteresting.
A month later, after I had deleted my instagram account I tried again and the result is what I wrote just now.
The 1st attempt had no such obstacles.
I gave this a shot a while back and found plenty of examples but little documentation.

For instance, there is a tree structure for storing the embeddings and the library is able to construct it with a single line. However, I couldn’t find an clear explanation of how that tree is constructed and how to take advantage of it.

The link between drug use and poverty is not relevant. It's only addiction and unhealthy drug use that are problematic. Alcohol being the number 1 problematic drug by far.

You jumped through a lot of hoops to explain that there is an avenue from middle class to poverty through drugs, but any avenue from drug use to poverty pales in comparison to the avenues from poverty to drug addiction. People who have no place in society, because they have nothing worth contributing, or for whatever other reason they end up in poverty, they find good feelings and usefulness in drugs, in the participation with others in a similar position.

The link between poverty and drug use is very very clear.
Agreed. I think people underestimate the extent to which major and influencers have left Twitter entirely due to sociocultural and political events. Never mind the fact that Twitter has 700m users v the many billions more that Meta has.

There’s a strong likelihood Threads exists as a Twitter alternative but not necessarily a direct competitor, simply because of demographics.
Follower feed is said by the head of Instagram (and I guess thus the head of Threads) to be coming eventually. There doesn't seem like much to do but wait.

That is precisely the argument, and it is a perfectly reasonable one, especially in the right context.
If you want to see it done differently watch season 8.

Spoiler alert: the winner built a simple hut, shows how to do it on his YouTube channel afterwards too. With a properly chimneyed fireplace though he had to improvise because his area did not have enough clay in the soil.

He's had the channel for a long time. I knew his channel before. His bow was a simple longbow he made himself. He regularly goes elk and boar hunting with his bows. He also tried fishing but had a bad spot but got lucky encountering a deer. He built a smoker with an automatic bear alarm. They really don't show a lot of him on the show if you compare. I think basically because he just did so well overall. He did carve toys to bring back to his sons too.
