What about let's say 5 years from now, someone digs up a Go project from 2022, decides to get it up to speed for 2028, updates the version line. Is there something that would remind them to check for breaking changes, including this one? Perhaps the go project initializer could add a comment above the version line with a URL with a list of such changes. Though, that wouldn't help for this change.
> about how the Press played the part of the "fourth estate" as the Founders intended

The rest of your post is quite the bullshit (easily probable with publicly accessible archives bullshit at that), but this is also wrong. The mythological god-like creatures that crafted America as their divine powers ordained it didn't "intend" for the press to be "the fourth power". That term was first used after the US revolution, and in the UK. You're just retconing stuff into your mythology, and everyone knows that doesn't work and leaves a poor taste.
You are saying it is wrong of me to call the victims, victims, and should instead call them ‘accusers’. I’m saying I am under no legal obligations to do so. I believe their stories and I believe they are victims, so I am allowed to call them victims.

Now I think there might be slander to call the accused something like an abuser, so I don’t do that (yet). However there is no slander laws which disallow me from using words which indicate that I believe the victims, so I’m not calling them ‘accusers’, I call them victims, because that is what I believe they are.

> government doesn't itself have civil rights

Neither do corporations. This is easy to demonstrate. Imagine you refuse to talk to Trump supporters - most people would say that's your right.

> It's still freedom of speech and association to not want to do business with certain people

imagine the outrage if Tomorrow YouTube deletes accounts for anyone that supported Trump
Serverless apps possibly.
Possible, but i don't think it's very likely. Project Valhalla is a big umbrella term but couple of important points :

- The new value type don't garanty flat memory representation, so might have some corner cases which are not properly optimized

- The monomorphization or java vs C++ is still a big advantage for c++

- The compiler optimization of LLVM/GCC are still quite a bit better (in term of generated code) vs jvm/graal
Taibbi specifically had tons of meeting notes on "alignment" between twitter's content policy team and people from DOJ, FBI, etc.

Yes, Trump was president at the time.
Your rhetoric doesn't sound far off from that of people who called BLM protests mob riots. But they were protesting against militarized police, hardly the weak.

Or hell, from the other side of the political spectrum, Jan 6th was some real mob mentality behavior. But I'd hardly consider the "US government" weak.
I'm not sure what you mean. What would the alternative world look like in this case? Less safe / a lack of tires until we confirm every chemical used isn't dangerous? I don't think that's a good trade off. We still don't have good alternatives in 2023, let alone in the last 100 years.
I also like goatcounter for simple analytics - just what I need and nothing more. I can also vouch for plausible and really like their product too

Ah cool, I will check it out later then. Good to know people are working on the issue.

> CUE, running in the browser

No no. By "that" I mean "provide libraries for other languages that wrap it using WASM".

> I see you are not interested in CUE and the benefits it offers

That's a bad attitude. Would I have learnt how to use Cue and about these limitations because I wasn't interested? You just don't want to admit that these are valid concerns.

Subprocess.run is clearly not the ideal way to interface with a configuration language. You can do it if you have to. But you really shouldn't.

Imagine if the only JSON parser in the world was written in OCaml and every program that wanted to read JSON had to run some OCaml program to convert it into another format that they could load. Obviously not a good state of affairs.
I don't find go that easy to read. It is so verbose that the actual business logic ends up buried in a lot of boilerplate code. Maybe I'm bad at reading code, but it ends up being a lot of text to read for very little information.

Like a one-line list comprehension to transform a collection is suddenly four lines of go: allocation, loop iteration, and append (don't even start me on the append function). I don't care about those housekeeping details. Let me read the business logic.
I am so confused, for the lay person - can someone explain how does something with a copy-left license the GPL end up in this situation of being "acquired"? We can just fork it right?

I have lately been wondering if culture has forgotten how to run any organisation apart from a for profit corporation or a KPI driven NGO. E.g. an association, a co-operative etc. These all require collaboration and entrepreneurship and innovation without it being a competition via KPI or everything justified by the dollar (as is often the case sometimes even in charities)
I would question your third point in the spirit of doubting narratives. This is the podcasters' narrative, but intuitively a podcaster has less scale and therefore is much cheaper to be incentivised towards specific narratives.
In democratic countries we also have rights against (unjustified) spying by our governments. Sounds like a better long-term plan for everyone is to make them work. Especially when even the ideal equipment won't do much against metadata spying by ISPs and cellphone carriers...

The backdoor in DualEC_DRBG only works if there is some way for the attacker to directly observe its outputs (eg. using that for IVs). If you use it as an inner CSPRNG that seeds other faster algorithms the backdoor is irrelevant, but well, such a construction is total nonsense that only ever makes sense in the FIPS certification framework (DualEC_DRBG is ridiculously slow and not meaningfully more secure than the other FIPS CSPRNGs).

On the other hand, I have the feeling that if you instantiate Hash_DRBG with certain classes of insecure hash functions (think MD2) the mechanism that protects the construction from effects of birthday paradox makes it simpler to break the underlying hash function, but for this attack to work the underlying hash function have to be really bad and this attack is probably impractical even for instantiations with MD4, much less the SHA variants in the specification.
Those of you thinking how crazy it is for MariaDB to be valued at just $30M: This company acquired Clustrix[0] in 2018, so it's not even only a MySQL fork.

30M is an absurdly small number for the embodied IP. (I worked briefly @ Clustrix, the tech is legit, ~$75M funding burned)

I can’t find it now, but I remember some joke about “it’s an interesting language, but why did you ignore the last 50 years of programming language design?”

I find Go quite frustrating in how it decries how over-complicated some features are, and slowly comes around to realize that oh, maybe people designed them for a reason (who woulda thunk it?).
The lettered naming convention is common and not new ([see](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#Typ...))

Sorry for not just quoting the bit about the straight line not existing in nature, but I could not bring myself to reduce it all to just that.

In 1952 I spoke of the civilization of make-believe, the one we must shake off, myself, the the first of all! I spoke of columns of gray men on the march toward sterility and self-destruction.
The same year I used the term "transautomation" to show the way beyond the rationalism of technocrats toward a new creation in harmony with the laws of nature.
In 1953 I realized that the straight line leads to the downfall of mankind.
But the straight line has become an absolute tyranny.
The straight line is something cowardly drawn with a rule, without thought or feeling; it is a line which does not exist in nature.
And that the line is the rotten foundation of our doomed civilization.
Even if there are certain places where it is recognized that this line is rapidly leading to perdition, its course continues to be plotted.
The straight line is the only sterile line, the only line which does not suit man as the image of God.
The straight line is the forbidden fruit.
The straight line is the curse of our civilization.
Any design undertaken with the straight line will be stillborn. Today we are witnessing the triumph of rationalist knowhow and yet, at the same time, we find ourselves confronted with emptiness. An aesthetic void, desert of uniformity, criminal sterility, loss of creative power.
Even creativity is prefabricated.
We have become impotent. We are no longer able to create. That is our real illiteracy.

and unfortunately, EV's are worse than ICE cars of similar size, because of the extra weight - so they can go thru tires 30% faster.

"Increased tire wear can also contribute to air quality issues. In Oslo, Norway, where electric vehicles make two-thirds of registered vehicles but a higher proportion of traffic, the "air has unhealthy levels of microscopic particles generated partly by the abrasion of tires and asphalt," The New York Times reports."

Funny how now that electric vehicles are winning, it turns out that, no, it’s tires that are bad and gosh look EVs have more tire wear because they are heavier. Regular people with regular sized EVs must be taxed more than gas cars!! (But of course not trucks and SUVs)
Sure.

> is this realistic, or a writers license?

Realistic. And, believe it or not, I know of at least one organization that plans to convert an entire literal skyscraper of office space from routed networks to a single, flat switched network for all the employees of all the subcompanies. In 2023.

Obviously everyone with a bit of braincells left tells them to not do that because it's utterly dumb, but hey, strategic decision by the holding company to save on costs...

At least they're not using hubs. (For the younger generation: a hub is an Ethernet device that takes any packet it ingests in one port and sends it out to all other ports, with no consideration at all if the device that the packet is destined for actually is on that port - something a switch does, by maintaining a mapping of MAC addresses to ports. Extremely dumb devices, but used to be way faster and especially cheaper than switches in the 90's/early '00s)
Doomy? The tone seems balanced and pragmatic to me. Nothing in the article implies an existential threat or takes a doomer perspective. The subject is depressing, but if that bothers you, you should probably skip environmental news altogether.

>...as long as you're below the threshold rate quantum computers scale well.

Last I heard, getting below that threshold was going to take one or two orders of magnitude of noise improvement. That seems unlikely.

Say you were at a VC presentation and the company said that they had this really great system and the only thing stopping their immense success was the requirement to reduce the noise by an order or two of magnitude. Oh, and by the way, we already have the system very close to absolute zero. So you ask them what they are planning to do and they tell you that they don't have the faintest idea. Noise is always the ultimate limit on the information that can be obtained from a system. The most reasonable interpretation of the situation is that a technology doesn't exist and that there is no reason to think it would ever exist.

But when it comes to quantum computers the optimism is boundless. I am not sure why.

I was able to read at least part of the article without a subscription. Folks wanted to send Nixon some pointed complaints (go figure, who could have imagined) and telegraph operators weren’t letting them. Seems telegraph companies left matters of decency up to the discretion of the operator, at least by 1970 (and I bet you’d get a lot of “you may take your business elsewhere” for various sorts of messages you tried to send, before that, to the point that much speech was de-facto banned)
I love that most clients support just pasting the infohash into the 'add url' field.

Humanity's already been through something like this and come out fine: slave states (like in Ancient Greece and later Rome) where the vast majority of the labor was done by slaves and the slave-owning populations lived relatively care-free lives. There's a reason ancient Greece produced so much philosophy: because they had so much free time on their hands due to slaves doing all the work.

Yeah because having some small passive argument is really going to change things?

You can't delegate raising your kids to YouTube, right? What about the grown ups you say, well words are not spells - just because someone said that some group of people are sub-human doesn't make others believe that. We are not photocopiers, we are humans.

That hate speech claiming that some group of people are "stain on our planet" will probably claim other stuff like conspiracies and alternative history. Go after those if you are concerned.

Hopefully neither of those groups will be a large number of people, but they'll certainly be more than a couple of people.

It doesn’t just seem to be hopes, but actually taking steps in acquiring equity to play the long game:

“I say "until recently" as our former MS BoD member ValueAct has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo […] and I've kept in touch with Mason Morfit as he's been acquiring. It's likely he will be pushing for more from Nintendo stock which could create opportunities for us. Without that catalyst I don't see an angle to a near term mutually agreeable merger of Nintendo and MS and I don't think a hostile action would be a good move so we are playing the long game.”

The hubris is also palpable:

“It's just taking a long time for Nintendo to see that their future exists off of their own hardware. A long time.... :-)”

And then there’s the matter of them contemplating buying TikTok: https://www.threads.net/@techemails/post/CxYy4BdS99n/

Since they didn't say that, no they probably don't think that. Just like me saying "I don't work for free" doesn't imply I think that my salary is also the exact net cost I have as expenditure for doing the work.
