Why? It seems to work exceedingly well. And there are more than enough languages following the "everything-and-the-kitchen-sink" approach already. What benefit would there be in trying to secure a tiny portion of a niche that is already overfilled?

> that the primary selling point of Go were goroutines

They were one of the selling points. What anyone sees as "the primary" point is a matter of opinion. For many people, the primary selling point of Go is the simplicity of the language.

> Fast forward to today and Go has become a significantly less compelling option.

Really? What other mainstream language uses CSPs with the same syntactic ease and core-language support?

> Anyway, as I see it, golang is basically a dead end as a PL.

What data specifically supports that point of view? Because, going by usage metrics, like code contributed, Go is easily among the most used languages, and still growing.

If you have different metrics, please, do share them here.
Having used HTMX for several projects, no it’s not over-hyped, it’s an awesome way to build on the web.

Yes, we can't blame Google for making as much money as possible.

But we can blame regulators for letting them.

Orrrr you can do what my wife and I did: just get those silicone rings. They come in lots of styles, you can wear them while working out or diving or any other physical activity, and they're much cheaper than actual jewelry.
I quite strongly disagree with this. Mathematicians aren't rigourous just for the hell of it. We have examples where a lack of rigour caused a bunch of people to waste a bunch of time working of stuff that ultimately didn't work at all.

For example the Italian school of algebraic geometry caused the waste of legitimately decades of work by many people because the foundations weren't right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_school_of_algebraic_ge....

Part of the purpose of a maths degree is to teach the students the rigour required to be a mathematician. If you don't want to learn that rigour then thats completely fine, you can use physical or intuitive arguments, but the place to go and do that is in the physics or engineering departments.

I agree mathematicians would be wrong if they were forcing their rigour on physics students or whatever, but I think they're emphatically right to teach it to maths students.
Problem begins when every commercial site needs to have your eID. Banks are already forced to "know their customer". It could be a step to deanonymize the net broadly. Or restrict access where you haven't proven your age. We already see some of that today.

I personally would always restrict usage to government services, but I doubt people will care about their privacy.

Good for you.

Sooo much is lost in the translations of Pratchett to other (even linguistically close) languages.

I mean, the translator try their best to carry the word plays or funny anglo-centric cultural references over, bu very rarely succeed in matching the wit and timing of the original English.
Do you think there should be regulation preventing consolidation in other areas, like land ownership?

"it's a glorified/bastardized jQuery"

I'm struggling to see why you would compare jQuery and HTMX?
Greetings from the US, happy to hear from someone who has boots on the ground and something valuable to offer the discussion. I didn’t think my original comment would spiral into all this I just wanted to have discussions like the one we’re having know and gain some more insight on the situation as a whole.

I would be interested to see some economic figures on the list 3 years for these industries as I’m sure the initial hit did not feel good but has there been momentum for new countries that are importing these goods? We all know China pays a premium and takes in some serious tonnage but will working with these other countries eventually match that prosperity? If not directly, then indirectly by helping industry boom across new countries?

Genuinely curious on your thoughts, I’m more talking about raw iron ore, coal, etc. here but it would be nice if there could be the development of a middle class in India or Vietnam for example that enjoyed fine Australian lobster and wine on the regular.
It should always be optional as not everyone using tax prep software will actually be a citizen of the country where they're paying tax or registered with said country's social welfare system. I found navigating bureaucracy a nightmare when I first moved to the UK because so many systems were set up to require a National Insurance (Social Security) number which I wasn't able to get until after I started paying tax. Notably I was denied a bank account until I complained about it on Twitter.
Fair point. That option is out there - but it is not clear. I have gone through the FAQ entry and the linked comment which talks of “shared ownership” of a thread — which, this is my guess, is implying every comment is shared. I find that troubling.

I don’t think it would be too much to clearly add a sentence or few in that FAQ entry about how a person can get an account and its history erased from hn, even if its via an email (though such a button would be nice — which maybe just sends an email mentioning the hn username?)

But I also acknowledge that matters of account and data deletions aren’t straightforward.
That was still true with VLB(VESA Local Bus) and later revisions of the Tseng ET4000 chipset. Which was what made the SpeedStars fly. (At 50Mhz! Harr!)
My guess is that the Infocom game was setting up some sort of FP emulation TSR and not cleaning it up, and BattleTech was coincidentally using it. Or whatever the equivalent of a windows 3.x VxD is for OS/2, if that exists. Or just otherwise messing with the interrupt tables involved in the arcane x87 protocol in a way that un-breaks things.

Also it looks like there may be some issues with FP/FP emulation on the OS/2 DOS extender host: https://www.os2museum.com/wp/floating-point-exceptions-and-d...
We used Stripe to build it. Something like:

- Set users to a subscription cadence once they upload a payment method

- Add a backend job that aggregates usage in the form that you're metering (with lots of lots of unit tests to make sure you know what to expect) and post that as an invoice item to the customers' account in Stripe, but don't collect

- Periodically have a subscription in Stripe (typically monthly) go and bill for all the open invoice items. This grabs all of the usage that hasn't been invoiced in the period and bills for it. If the total value is $0, skip that month.

- Let users manage receipts and invoices in Stripe, and make sure the line items on the invoices correspond with user meaningful usage metering
Anti-trust laws are crucial for a well functioning capitalism.

Without them, power eventually gets concentrated into few companies holding monopolies, while the fundamental of capitalism is competition.

The problem is anti-trust laws have not been enforced and we let tech companies hold way too much power.
And add to that superstition - "what if this used ring came from a divorce?"
Even better: just don't get married.

Very few advantages, if any, for most people (only big exception I'm aware of is for citizenship status).

Oh man I used to love BattleTech on the '286! (Yes we had a coprocessor, doubt it mattered).

I kinda wondered why no one made RPG games in the BattleTech universe? The MechWarrior series was fine, but there's so much plot and intrigue that could be explored in this universe, and just _existing_ as a human around all these big machines could be pretty intense.
I have a similar script in my head: Notice when I'm angry. Not, get angry more, but notice it, because it's pointing right at whatever I need to fix or learn from. For instance I've found that it usually arises from some failure to communicate, and has the result of making that problem worse ... until I notice and change course.
You're conflating things. This issue isn't that Classical Mechanics has somehow evolved or changed. It's that people continue to find new and better ways to explain and illustrate concepts. At lest personally I don't know of any field or book where I've felt "Hmm, this is basically perfect and I can't imagine a better way to explain these concepts".

Have you looked at for instance Khan Academy's Grant Sanderson (aka 3Blue1Brown) Math videos? it's really apparent there is a LOT of room for improvement in pedagogy.

As the linked PDF illustrates, most people are teaching along a set formula and sequence of concepts. Good teachers will try to tweak and iterate on these formulas and evolve a better curriculum that sinks in better for students.

Naturally as time goes on, if each author has to start from scratch, then it becomes harder and harder to beat "the best book on BLAH" from the last 100 years. (Though I refuse to believe it's a monumental task to write a better textbook than Rudin)

If you have open copy-left books, then in theory people could start with a Rudin, fork it, tweak it and improve it. 70 years of improvement could yield some amazing forks!

"Often newer editions actually worsen textbooks"

That's typically because they select a random new author to in-effect update their copyright date.. and the new author is rarely of the same caliber as the first

It's in part outright lies, in majority calling the healthy state defects and the defects the healthy state. Yes, the body accumulates it, because it needs it.

The conspiracy isn't that corporations supress it, the conspiracy is that corporations paid the experts to argue against its toxicity.

It hasn't been known as poison, there are only a couple of dubious quotes over the 2000 years, when it was used in cosmetics, medicine, even food preparation. The belief of its neurotoxicity is only about half a century old, with no determinable origin of its discovery.

So the "girl-math" is a $10,000 ring, is actually only 50 cent per day, if you wear it every day for 50 years, hence it's practically free?

I remember "Dune 2" (1992) could use a co-processor? Not sure, we never had a machine with a co-processor but a friend had and he said that at start-up the game said something like "Co-processor found - let's use it!" and then game could run faster I believe (not sure).

Edit- Dune 2, not Dune 2000

So, why isn't NATO forcing the collapse? Russia is sitting on the largest stockpile of diamonds, they have the most to lose. We can already synthesize these things, might as well let the price reflect the actual value.
My gut feel was also cracked MLCC ceramics from thermal expansion or shock.

I've seen some 1206s shear right off a pcb from merely mechanical shock to the PCB, not the cap directly.

When I use them I try to orient them parallel with any PCB bending forces, but they are still fragile.
That happens all too often in other contexts too.

Exams are ultimately for the students' collective benefit; they ensure that lecturers are teaching effectively, with good learning outcomes. If you're someone who "just wants to learn" and don't care for the rigor of a full Math/Physics curriculum, that's one thing. But if you do care, exams are great.
AND spy on people, steal their data, and force sell couple of broken games.
Another fun fact - I cut my teeth as a little kid hacking my BattleTech (Cresent Hawk Inception) save games in XTree-Gold. I can still remember the ASCII symbols and the rough layout of the save files. I'd max out my teams stats and skills, stick extra weapons on our mechs (they even programmed in powerful ones that weren't actually in the game) and mark the map as explored. EDIT: I even got so much money it would accidentally wrap around when you got some interest from the bank or whatever (it was some small signed integer type) and then you couldn't spend anything, lol.

This is literally the worst of both worlds: an 8-cylinder ICE that pollutes locally coupled with a gigantic battery that itself has a heavy environmental cost.

Stellantis can say that the range problem is "solved" while proving that even a good solution like electrification can be done horribly, stupidly wrong.

From the related article [1]:

> A gasoline-fueled range extender will likewise be offered on the "REV XR" which Ram claims will be "class-shattering" in terms of performance.

The mind reels to see how the ICE manufacturers continue to deliver precisely what their market does not need.

From the related FA:

> The 1500 REV will come standard with a huge 168-kilowatt-hour battery, but that's only the beginning. The top trim, 500-mile range truck gets a truly titanic 229-kWh unit. That's bigger than the Hummer EV's battery and the long-range Ford F-150 Lightning's battery

168 kWh and 229 kWh batteries... With current battery technology, batteries of this size make no sense at all. The weight of the vehicle will probably be close to 4 metric tonnes.

Smallpox vaccines were quite controversial at the time and opponents went for much the same disinformation tactics as with the covid vaccines. For example, rumors that cow heads would start sprouting from your body were published (https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/01/07/3755986...) in popular media. There were also Church leaders saying that it was immoral to intervene in God's will in this way: if He decided you should get smallpox then that was your fate.

It's not so far from people fearing that COVID vaccines were full of microchips to control your brains, or that it was all a mass sterilization campaign organized by the deep state or whatever.

This is wrong:

> 3. A diamond is an illiquid asset, not an "investment". Don't believe me? Try to sell a second-hand diamond ring on eBay or at a pawn shop. Do you really think you'll get anything close to what you paid for it?

Yes you'll get close to what you paid for it if you buy it the same way jewelers buy it. There's an ultra liquid market for diamonds: a friend jeweler showed it to me. He needs a diamond to make a ring? He goes on a website where diamonds are sorted by their four Cs (clarity/cut/color/carat) and their price and all guaranteed legit. And he buys it at market price.

Of course if you overpay 3x the price by buying the diamond as part of a complete ring, you're sorry out of luck.

Now the diamond market may crash too, but that is another topic.

If your wife/fiance really insists on having a diamond: find a reputable jeweler and tell him you want to pick the stone with him, on such a site. And that you're willing willing to pay for the ring and his craftmanship but that you don't want to pay the stone 3x the price for what is actually two clicks for him.

Heck, you can even bring your own stone to the jeweler (I did it, with a family heirloom diamond). You can even bring a picture of a famous brand and say you want the same shape of ring: they're not supposed to do it but they'll gladly copy the famous ring (I didn't do that but I know someone who did).

BTW while you're at it buy a diamond that comes with a certificate.

And if you want to pay 1/5th of the price: then buy a lab-grown diamond instead of moissanite for 1/10th of the price. To me moissanite is a bit too shiny.

While a lab-grown diamond or a "real" diamond are the exact same thing.

The best performance per dollar in a server for now is if it is built with desktop AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, e.g. Ryzen 9 7950X, whose performance per dollar is vastly better than that of any Intel Sapphire Rapids or AMD Genoa or Bergamo or Threadripper. (There are easily available AM5 motherboards with ECC support, and network cards up to those with dual 25 Gb/s ports in SFP connectors are also cheap.)

Ryzen 7000 CPUs are not the best only when the performance of the CPU is less important than having a lot of PCIe lanes and/or memory concentrated in a single box, instead of being distributed in multiple boxes (for the latter case multiple Ryzen 7000 boxes are cheaper than a single big server with the same total amount of memory and total count of PCIe lanes).

For a lot of memory and PCIe lanes in a single box, there are some Sapphire Rapids models with few cores that are quite cheap, but of course the Intel marketing has decided to cripple them by limiting their memory speed to DDR5-4400. The ubiquitous crippling of the cheap Intel SKUs is intended to force their customers to buy the SKUs with outrageous prices, but all that this has ever done to me was to force me to buy from their competition.

For the same purpose, AMD Siena CPUs are expected to be competitive, but only if they will become available at retail, which is uncertain.

We can if we'd like to but remember that it's an analogy, no matter how useful, inspiring or beautiful the connections might be.

I don't like this analogy too much because it collapses "DNA" into a singular thing that's somehow related to classical computing, even though there's no indication that DNA and the multiple layers of systems interacting with it are limited in the same ways as classical computers.

I prefer to think of the DNA as a medium for memory, one of many mediums for memory.

Memory is everywhere, whether or not anyone or anything remembers it.
Oh yeah for sure, but I think there are definitely reasons for it. The enshittification/technoshit that comes out of the iot world (and all other devices) because of corporate greed just ruins it even more.

The whole signing up for a Samsung account thing etc for your fridge. Stuff like this really just needs to be legislated under some kind of "all technology should just work, locally and with one another with at least an agreed set of features" level.

Apple should have been legally forced to use USB C (or whatever alternative was best) ages ago, even before the EU got to them. Apple were happy to use Wifi/Bluetooth/etc/etc standards yet still wanted to use other proprietary BS.

Same goes for literally everything else: all technologies should work together using at least a common method (with say options for proprietary stuff) and iot/whatever should all work flawlessly locally without any account or internet connectivity (which should all be 100% optional). Devices should work flawlessly even if the company that produces them has shut down all servers and gone bankrupt.

We need to force our governments to do this stuff for us.
