The "Go 1" project was centred around the Go Team. They built what they wanted and needed with little regard for the rest of the world. If they felt loop variable capturing was important, they would have added it. Of course, they didn't find it necessary, so it wasn't added.

When "Go 1" reached its natural stopping point and closed down, the "Go 2" project emerged to continue development of Go under the wants and needs of the community. That capture is being added now because the community has shown a desire to have it. The Go Team may use their expertise to guide the community in the right direction, but we are here because the "Go 2" project is community driven.

The original commenter seems unaware that the project changed hands.
I have 10+ years of experience. This isn't a new trend, it's been like this for at least my entire tenure in software engineering.

In my experience, the hiring industry is decently calibrated to specific skills rather than specific titles. I've rejected Principals at FAANGs before, simply because they lacked requisite skills.

I have no comment on whether or not this is good or bad. All I can say is that this is the status quo, and that the companies I've seen are quite used to it. I think organizations need ways to reward people for their tenure, and the easiest way to do it is via title.
What could have been done is improving public transport aka bike paths+bus+trams+trains combo (including by decreasing funding road infra) to a point that will discourage buying new cars, in combo with rising taxes for fossil fuel&parking till 2030. This will both decrease the general demand and keep the demand for electric cars at a normal value, but apparently this is too socialist for european countries
Japanese grocery stores do this with meat and packaged meals. It's not always the best strategy as nearly all the good stuff is gone by the time they start discounting and you will consistently be getting food well after a reasonable dinner time.

That's very interesting. What are current (commercially viable) alternatives to electric drones?
micro-farming is actually more environmentally destructive and wasteful than factory farming. It's a lot harder to regulate and control 10000 peasant farms than 1 large factory farm that has proper processes in place.
Bankman specifically extracted 10M by creating a tax-friendly scheme: SBF would increase his own loan from 250 to 260M from Alameda, donate it to his dad, cancel the loan later while offsetting with a charity donation to his mother.

Why did Bankman father do it ? He was humiliated by his 200k a year salary at FTX US and commanded his son pay him more.
These exist. Or grocery stores have outlets ("day-old" etc) where you can buy the near-expiry or expired goods.
Agreed. Something I commonly observe, which I’m guilty of too, is getting so excited about technological innovation that we can’t see the forest for the trees. I get that the idea of being able to order a sub sandwich on a whim and have it delivered directly to you via a drone is really cool, but why not plan ahead and bring it with you? One could also go to a sandwich shop next to where they work. My coworkers and I would walk to the sandwich shop next to our office once per week when I still worked in an office. Seems remarkably less wasteful and more efficient all around.

I don’t see it ever happening, but I’m not even sure we need package delivery available for anything every day of the week. If we limited it to once per week for bulkier items (such as large furniture), we could reduce a lot of waste and traffic. Rather than deliver tiny lunches via drone, perhaps we should reconsider the greater idea of ordering objects. As someone without a car in a car-dependent city, it’s certainly on my mind.

And this doesn’t expand into societal implications of ordering everything without interacting with other humans. That’s perhaps a more interesting conversation!
Why is that list ^ not interesting? Illustrative?

I think it's dishonest to call Apple devices not repairable because Apple offers a lot of repair options. If you want to promote independent repair centers and non-Apple repairs just state that. Otherwise you're just an independent repair fanboy ;)

Most Apple devices are used for years, sold to or given to people requiring the latest since they are not worthless after a short time. I'm not sure what those people you talk about do with their year old iPhones.
CockroachDB is many cool things but not even remotely in a the same category as fdb in terms of the transaction rates it can deal with per unit cost and you wouldn’t be mapping complex data structures into cdb; it’s not what it is for.

They just aren't the same thing. It’s like comparing a binary tree to json. If you squint you can see how they could be similar but really aren’t.
At a Fedex copy center it costs over $2 a page to send a fax but only 20 cents a page to make a copy. Same machine, same amount of time spent monopolizing said machine, but at the end of the photocopying you walk away with a physical piece of paper they will have to restock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But there are plenty of places that don't have much snow and ice where they should be perfectly practical. Ice shouldn't be a problem, they could swap to studded tyres in the winter just like we do for cars here in Norway. Snow would be a much bigger problem though I agree!
> OpenTofu has garnered massive support, with the project gaining admission to the Linux Foundation and even receiving public support from companies like Allianz.

I don't know. It feels like this support comes from the vocal minority and competitors.

I'll believe such a statement when more big multinational companies show support. Right now, I don't believe there is as much support as is currently made out.
That could be the case to a degree -- it's likely very hard to rule out simple miscommunication in general as a part of the equation here. But I have a friend who administered this test (to be spoken to its subject):

Close your eyes. Imagine a ball resting on a table. The ball begins to roll, quicker now, and it goes over the edge of the table. It bounces, once, twice, three times, and rolls along the floor, then comes to a stop again.

What color was the ball?

Did you have to make that detail up just now when I asked you, or was that what you saw?

This last question is the decider: a visual detail like that is very difficult to omit while _picturing_ the situation, but is very easy to leave out if your brain doesn't work that way. If you had to choose a color at the end, you may have the true "no picture at all" form of aphantasia, as opposed to just failing to understand that other people don't see a real, solid image.

The most famous case is locksmiths.[0] Google recently went after another company using the "rank and rent" scheme.[1]

The company which is causing us issues is also using the "rank and rent" scheme. They're running listings for everything from pool resurfacing to concrete driveways to tree services.

The company recruits people via Craigslist with an offer to pay them $50-100 to setup a Google Business Profile and receive the post card with a code for verification. They also offer $20 for a 5-star review.[2]

I am thinking about going to the FTC and the media at this point. I've also discovered that there's a small community but poorly connected that goes after this type of spam.

As someone who joined Shopify 10 years ago, my perception is that it wasn't an option.

At the time competition was fierce and the priority was to get new features to grow.

If you are a free service Twitter, with a strong network effect, it makes sense to retool to reduce your costs, as it's a primary factor in profitability.

If you are a B2B paying service like Shopify with little to no network effect to keep your leading position, halting features for years while you re-tool, re-train etc is a death sentence.

My (hot) take is that if Shopify had decided to switch over to Java back in the day, Shopify may actually be a mostly dead company by now.

If the thesis panned out, nobody would care about reputation because we would have access to games not playable elsewhere according to this leak. Sure many people would not be early adopters, but there is always enough of a cphort that would. Because the cloud native gaming thesis didn’t play out, its easy to say it had something to do with not trusting Google. However the average Google user doesn’t have these kinds of opinions about Google.

Drones are quite similar, actually: unless they can safely drop into your garden they'll need some sort of secure storage for you to get your parcel from. They are a number of companies working on this: Basically drone lands on top of a locker station and dumps its cargo into it, then you collect your package with a QR code or similar. Even if drones deliver on the roof of residential buildings I think something like that is needed to keep things safe and orderly.
I think both you and the GP are onto something important. I am one of the vaunted Gen-Xers (this is the first time someone has said anything nice about us, so thanks) and there is something to the idea that my understanding of systems goes down to assembly language (fully) and even CPU architecture (very sketchily) all the way up to, like, web frameworks. So for the stuff I'm usually doing, I understand several layers up and down, and that often seems valuable.

This strikes me as the essence of expertise, the difference between talking to someone who's read a book or a review paper, vs someone who is a real expert at that thing. You can be quite competent and insightful from having done a modest amount of reading and thinking, but if you're seeing the Matrix, and know how all these forces are interacting with each other, that's just a whole other level. It makes an impression when you brush up against it.

However: it always weighs on me how this is all a matter of framing. Like, I don't know the electronics. There's a level of metal that I don't get. Some of the really high-level stuff is now beyond me, too. I catch myself saying "I should really take x {weeks, months, years} and really grok that." And yet my actual experience suggests this is a mirage.

More briefly: there are always more layers for a fuller understanding. It's hard to see how many of them are really useful. Maybe the kid who is 10x better than me at LLM collaboration will benefit more than from having a deeper stack. It's interesting to ponder how these different consequences will play out.
This is what happens when bored developers just have to improve something that doesn't need improving.
You are not going to be the only person appearing to come from that IP address – many will likely be NATed through it.

The more significant concern is if you are the other side: if you deliberately run some sort of VPN or other proxy that others can use, or less deliberately do so. Many hacked or otherwise suspicious browser add-ons, and other malware, will make HTTP(S) requests & other connections on behalf of their C&C hosts and to your ISP or anyone else those requests will be largely indistinguishable from those that are the result of your activity.
> Broomfield said: “It seems clear the Schengen ban and my harassment by the UK police are driven by direct or indirect pressure from Turkey, on the basis of my work and reporting in Rojava and around the Kurdish issue.”

This sort of crap is nothing new unfortunately. Erdogan's Turkey has been abusing international cooperation agreements at scale [1], not to mention holding up Sweden's entry to NATO, purely to fight against legitimate domestic resistance against his quasi-dictatorship/sultanate/caliphate (depending on whom you ask, but Turkey is certainly no democracy anymore). And that repression includes journalists such as Deniz Yücel [2], even foreign TV shows [3] and comedians [4] - everyone who criticises Erdogan or recognizes the Armenian genocide becomes a target.

And where legal avenues fail, there is always the Grey Wolves, nominally a terrorist group, and closely linked to the Turkish government, to do Erdogan's bidding [5].

As for why no one does anything to hold Erdogan accountable... the answer to that is simple, he threatens to unleash refugees like he did in the past [6], and Turkey's cooperation regarding the Bosporus is vital in the Ukraine war.

The reason your credit card company cares more than eBay or PayPal or any of these other non-credit services care about it's twofold. First I do believe it's because you're their customer and there is a lot of competition in the credit and banking industries. eBay doesn't have a lot of effective competition in its area. There are other auction sites and other places to purchase things but not all things are listed everywhere and so you don't have the ability to just pick and choose where you purchase from specially for odd items. For choosing which bank is going to issue your credit card you have many many many choices and they all work about the same and differentiate themselves based upon their extra amenities and services.

The second reason your credit card company cares is because of the Fair credit billing act. It is written into law that they must have this chargeback policies and so forth and these other consumer protections. If it wasn't law would they have them probably not but because it is law they stand behind it and it becomes a feature that they were forced to issue that is a good selling point. Because unlike dispute policies written and enforced by a company all by itself with no law behind it if you disagree with how the dispute is handled by your credit card company you actually have legal protections and legal recourses behind it.

We currently use IndexedDB for the virtual filesystem underneath the wa-sqlite [1] WASM SQLite driver in the browser. But yup, that means a ~1.1MB WASM download.

We'll definitely stay with SQLite in the client. One of our key principles is full SQL support (any Postgres supported SQL on the server, any SQLite supported SQL on the client). So we won't go pure IndexedDB without a database on top.

There's a lot of cool stuff going on with OPFS and WASM SQLite atm, so the technical options are evolving fast.

Very interesting to see how the Rust-JNI interface gets used in a production environment (e.g., the topic of unifying logging typically doesn't come up in "your first Rust-JNI app" tutorials, for instance)

I do have one question around the assignment to `static mut CALL_STATE`. Don't you need some form of synchronization/memory fence/memory barrier to make sure that other threads see that assignment?

On x86/x64 it probably doesn't matter (total store order), but other architectures are less lenient.

Eh, I’m a mid level dev, and have worked for those sorts of companies in the past, but even they won’t hire me anymore. I’m not sure if they filled all their open roles off the layoff or what.

For example I used to work for a F500 retail company prior to and during the pandemic. They had a surprisingly large development department and has tons of jobs available prior to 2020. I was able to get in via a cold application and a seamless interview experience. More recently, I’ve tried going back and they barely have any non lead roles, and I tend to get screened out of the few roles they do post. I even got referrals from some senior people at companies like who think I’d get a good fit only to get screened out because the recruiter/hiring manager doesn’t like that I can’t check off their alphabet soup checklist. Should have spent my career doing resume driven development.
