> And I would say Spotify is doing a social good. As a nobody artist, being able to point people to stuff on Spotify is really compelling. Any other way I'd have to force people into either buying or using an app they are unfamiliar with just to listen to it.

Well, I understand where you're coming from here, but that's not really Spotify doing a social good, it's just the inevitable effect of their cultural dominance. Everybody[1] has Spotify. But they've taken that position due to their unethical growth plan.

Anyway, I've realized that we're discussing multiple things, not one thing. Spotify can be bad for artists who want to make money off their art, while being good for those who don't want/need to make money from music.

[1] I don't have Spotify.
People who say it doesn’t work don’t understand chronic pain management. It’s less about stopping the pain and more about making it bearable enough to forget about it.

Some pain you can’t stop. You can address the symptoms though.
My question was rhetorical but sure.

The real question is whether we as the public are doing a good enough job at holding these esteemed publications accountable for their mission -- especially as they continue to hold the position of authoritativeness in the public eye. (NYT holds a cachet that no number of Twitter handles or Medium sites combined would come close to.)

There are other languages of course where the logging avoids this, even in libraries written by the same company that writes Go. In C++, the Abseil logging library (f.k.a. glog) will not evaluate a condition for a disabled log level.

LOG(INFO) << WowExpensiveFunction();

This is safe when the log level is set to WARN or higher. For the same reasons, LOG_EVERY_N and LOG_FIRST_N in the same library are pretty cheap.
I don't think I'd consider it a 'last resort', since a lot of people will be choosing between finetuned GPT-3.5 and non-finetuned GPT-4, in which case finetuning is the cheap option.
Of course you have to opt in, that's how it is in the US as well. I'm talking about opting out after the fact.

I thought Advaita denies only the duality between the soul and the world soul, while denial of the world is more of solipcism.

Buddhism can deny self, but Buddha can also say, his self alone exists.

In any case, these are just beliefs. We know the world exists and there are no souls around. So much for "enlightenment".

I learned how to meditate at a Soto Zen monastery, so just facing the wall. And I experienced the typical sort of makyo (hallucinations) you might expect such as faces, a sort of tunnel effect, colours, etc.

I recently switched to a Chan method of facing outward and the hallucinations I experienced were extreme. At first, time felt as if it had completely stopped and what felt like days were going by as I sat there, the floor itself became liquid and water droplets were hitting it and I had a number of other pretty intense optical illusions. I was sitting perfectly still and my gaze was also almost still. I meditated for an hour and once it was over it suddenly felt like the entire experience didn't even happen and only a few minutes went by. But I felt amazing after I was finished.

Makyo is a common experience, but it was one monks had said to not be concerned with as it's just a hallucination. My experience going through that was ultimately unpleasant and not like the states you mentioned but it was immaterial to meditation itself.

I think that part of the purpose of meditation is to recognize a few things, such as your thoughts about the past and thoughts about the future are just like imagination (and a source of strife for people who are caught up in that imaginary world) and your thoughts are things you've consumed, much like your body was once food. So when one meditates you watch these thoughts arise and go by, you feel all sorts of sensations in the body come and go. I don't think the purpose, at least as I understand it, is to experience pleasure or find happiness. I guess if that happens it happens but it doesn't mean anything and is not something you should identify with.

I'm no monk so I'm not qualified to teach anything but I think ultimately part of the goal of meditation is to recognize some basic truths about who you are and about the nature of your existence through a careful and very simple method (just sitting), and that's all there is to it.

Any time someone mentions Google cloud all I can think is google will lose interest and shut it down. In reality the risk is probably pretty low but they’re immediately on the back foot with me. I suspect I’m not alone in thinking like this.

You could have simply asked something like, "What are peoples opinions on the job market?"

> My conclusion, so far, is unless you've got strong connections it's hard right now to find a job.

By including this take, you may have primed people to respond with a similar opinion.

But actually I think it might be almost impossible to eliminate the bias. You're very likely to hear back from people who are job searching. And job searching is an inherently stressful activity that breeds a negative state of mind. So you're very likely to hear back from people who think the situation is bad.

A year ago I would have agreed with you, but these days I love my electric mountain bike for a number of reasons. Biggest reason is it let's me choose how much effort to put in. On easy days I can do the same loop as harder days and just use a little more battery. If I'm running errands in the heat I don't have to be sweaty. It was also really useful when a friend crashed in the woods, enabling them to ride several miles back to the car (albeit slowly) without pedalling/walking.

Yeah I have to agree that the Go-style error handling does actually lead to better code. At least when I write it. It makes me think through how I am going to handle error states rather than chucking it in try/except in Python and hoping nothing breaks lol.

Wow this was the complete opposite from my personal experience. I'm almost over with my summer internship at google.

I was given a project complete opposite of "discrete assignments, less ownership and global thinking". I am really happy with the project I was given and the outcome of it. The objective was purposely vague which allowed me to take control: Designing the implementation, consideration of alternatives, setting up experiments, creating feature review documentation. I had to reach out and interact with people from multiple teams. I feel like I really got to experience the FTE life in my short 14 weeks.
Are you saying you think it would be a good idea to deregulate the infrastructure surrounding utilities? As in, you believe it would be beneficial to let private parties setup their own high-voltage transmission lines and power networks and allow them to interface with the larger grid system, without strong oversight?
It’s fine. Just make sure the scope is as narrow as possible. At my company, I signed one. But, before I did that I found 5 other companies that I would want to work at someday that are tangential to us and ran them by the founders for clearance.

MSN messenger had a ton of emojis and at the time (around 2000), in my experience, they were used on messenger a lot more than on AIM or ICQ. This is, of course, in the west.

As far as Unicode, the impetus for inclusion, while petitioned by Google, was at least officially due to enabling compatibility with Japanese phones where emoji were also quite popular.
Unfortunately there is no way to use variadic arguments in a type safe way in go (yet) - except for the special case that all arguments are of the same type.

This is why some of the functions that work with many arguments (such as `Pipe`, `Flow`, `Traverse` ...) carry their cardinality as a suffix. Their shapes are then auto-generated up to a max cardinality that seems to make sense in practice.

So the traverse tuple function does not only exist for cardinality 2 but also for higher ones. But unfortunately you have to specify it explicitly.
Apologies for being unclear about this. I’m not suggesting exploitation like extracting value. I’m saying that they make their videos primarily interesting to children’s existing attention span, whereas book time may teach children to increase their attention span and become interested in something, like printed letters on a page, that otherwise appears quite boring.
Right, by IA policy they can ask to have the site taken down. What’s unfortunate about it is that they’re doing it over data that they aren’t supposed to be able to restrict, and the rest of the site (which I doubt they much mind being on IA) is caught in the crossfire, as the means by which they’re getting the part they care about taken down. Like, they probably wouldn’t bother except that the archive happens to contain data that isn’t supposed to be restricable anyway but de facto is, if they take the whole archive of the site down.
Actually my point is that blindly enforcing the simplistic idea would be beneficial in the vast majority of cases. Also I think the parents whose children are using computers productively know it, anyway.
Yeah, that's why we're changing cities so that nice things like bicycles are the easy thing.

Little frustrating this "predicting the invention" sentiment. Many things are quite predictable. In fact I'd say most things are predictable. Things that were not predictable: nuclear energy (although you might say that this should have been predicted since around 1800 when it became apparent the Sun must be using some non-chemical magic to generate its energy, based on its mass).

Anyway, first wireless phone call: 1880, 40 years before this cartoon.

That first paragraph really put me off the article to be honest. Why read an article on emoji by someone who doesn't know what emoji are?

At the same time, I do realise "emoji" is now often being used as a generic term that encompasses both true emoji (unicode-based) and general emoticon images.
I get it. I guess i find it so exceedingly bizarre to dox someone, especially when known for being brilliant people - it probably doesn't register properly.

> You're supposed to find the evidence for yourself

This is the argument of quacks and charlatans (including the meditation charlatans aka "gurus").

A quack will always argue to ignore criticisms of his snake oil and just try it for yourself and find out.

Evidence is not personal, it's universal.

Denying universal facts and saying this is true for me is a position of a closed mind. You are being invited to prove facts, not just assert personal truths. It can't be more open minded than that.
Yeah but that doesn’t make a good clickbait title.

I have had a good experience with Cloudflare's registry service over the last couple of years.

I have taken to gradually pushing my registrations out as far as they can go. I just occasionally add years onto domains I buy, so as to lock in the $9 price for that term. Seems like an excellent way to avoid inflationary price increases, or general pricing creep.
> I do have to say, personally I like the sound of having a "new self, created after the likeness of God" better than "realizing I'm just a bundle of habits, then replacing some habits with better ones." :-)

To me, the "new self vs old self" framing is just more abstract. You should do what works for you, but I think breaking down one's identity into a set of habits or responses is simply a higher resolution of the same.

nix has plenty support for referring to data via git tags, seems like a flake-level semver solver could be implemented locally — even without blessing from mainline `nix` — so long as the flakes you use label their inputs/dependencies accordingly.

When I joined (2007 or 2008) there was actually a huge amount of literature on previous cultures, as well as people who had been there a long time.

I watched enough of the recorded Bedtime Stories (or whatever they called them, it was basically a bunch of nooglers in jammies listening to a distinguished engineer talk about the old days) and talked to enough old timers to learn that the period after the early search engine problems and ad revenue problems were solved, so about 2002-2004, was definitely a highlight that was better than my time.

For example: the microkitchens were all loaded to the gills with tons of amazing snacks. By the time I arrived they were downsized for cost and health reasons and when I left in 2021 they were only a shadow of their previous self.

My point is that some of us did research and saw that the earlier days before our tenure were even better.

Charlie was still present in his cafe (or its predecessor) and often cooked a whole cow for lunch every day. By the time I joined, Charlie's was just a long line for crappy food.

which is describing adaptive cruise control/radar based cruise control which has been on the market in vehicles for over two decades.

>Tesla's software does not have those limitations

Recklessly enabling a half baked vision only autopilot doesn't mean it's "superior". There's a reason actual self driving car companies (Cruise, Waymo, etc) report disengagements per mile as a means to show how "self driving" their vehicles actually are.

Until Tesla self-reports this data, it's nothing but a toy, and I wish folks the best who actually trust their life with it. [0]

>Officially, Telsa describes Autopilot as "an SAE Level 2 driving automation system designed to support and assist the driver in performing the driving task," as cited by NHTSA. Autopilot is not an autonomous driving technology, but the new numbers suggest people are treating it that way, sometimes resulting in tragedy.

Because in some cases the aspect whether or not the language is functional is not the only decision criteria for the choice of language. If it was, I would absolutely recommend to consider a language than go.
But if go is selected because of different criteria (i.e. interoperability with an existing eco-system, cross compilation support, FIPS compliance, ...) then this library can help to apply fp paradigms in you go code. Hopefully to make it readable and testable.

>That the stable ABI you get on Linux requires you to bundle literally every dependency you have as if distros don't exist...

This is not true. If your target platform is a distribution then you can assume that distribution's guarantees hold true.

What you cannot do is target "GNU/Linux" broadly and assume every glibc-based system running on top of the Linux kernel has all the libraries you want to depend on.

Pick a platform and target it. That can be the kernel. That can be glibc+the kernel (hey look GNU/Linux really is useful terminology), that can be RHEL9 or it can be Debian xyz. But don't pick "Linux" then make assumptions about userspace.

I have to second that, it seemed to be a great tool. I've often wondered why it couldn't get traction¹. I can recall people gushing about it at what may have been the same Python meetup in London, and also people being impressed enough by it at a Haskell meetup that they were lamenting an imagined lost opportunity to shove a "real language" in to a spreadsheet ;)

I'd always kind of assumed that the target audience would have appreciated the IronPython use, as the .net ecosystem would likely have been more valuable to them. Having just looked I see that numpy wasn't available on IronPython until 2010, and I'm sure that would have been useful to have a little earlier.

¹ Pretty sure I've referenced it here a few times too.
