To be clear, I'm not saying the author is wrong. The author wants a thing that Go doesn't have (a thing that I would also like to have in Go). He is calling the thing he wants an "Enum". Then he is insinuating that Go actually has the thing he wants but it sucks. It is confusing because Go does have a thing that some people also call "Enum".

What I'm saying is the thing he wants and the thing Go has may share a name but they aren't the same thing. Just like C++ has "vectors" and OpenGL has "vectors" that share some superficial similarities but are ultimately totally different things.

If someone wrote an article that said "OpenGL vectors suck" and then mentioned it missed a bunch of features available in std:vector as justification, most people would recognize this error and dismiss the discussion.
Mr. Altman was fired for cause last year. He then demonstrated very thoroughly and publicly that OpenAI is controlled by Microsoft, and only nominally had its own board and charter.

I think it depends on your definition of "clean code". I do personally like the more succinct version, but "never use a negative condition" makes people do.... stuff like this
I think most modern languages have complexity in the wrong areas. The type systems are not complex enough to capture the things I want algebraic data types with exhaustiveness guarantees).
I love this kind of tool. I often wonder what people would have done back in the days with it !
Everything voids warranties. If you are driving a new car, ie one still under warrantee, then you have to do whatever they want you to do. But there are lots of little myths about fixing cars, stuff leveraged by mechanics. Telling people that a diff will "blow" should the tires be 0.1% different in size is one of those myths. The entire purpose of a diff is to allow wheels to turn at different rates, hence the name differential. Only when you are getting towards differences enough to trigger anti-slip mechanisms during normal driving would it become an issue.

The manual probably also says that aftermarket oil/air filters will void warrantees, or that changing your own brake pads is dangerous. Total bunk.

Not sure about Ford, but for Rivians at least it looks like the answer is yes. So the integration is presumably doable.

This is 100% correct. You can actually walk to the top of a mountain and ski down. Or in the summer time, you can bike up and mountain bike down...
I agree that fuzzing is a very important technique, and as I said it's worth fixing any issues found, but I still think that many of the most common uses of curl are very problematic. As you can see, I didn't get any knee jerk upvotes.
I see where you're coming from, but I think there's a big misunderstanding about what Julian Assange is really being accused of. It's super important to remember that a lot of what he did is pretty much what investigative journalists do all the time. Caitlin Johnstone nailed it when she said that Assange is getting heat for the same kind of work that journalists are praised for: helping sources stay anonymous, secure chats, and encouraging more leaks. This isn't "hacking" in the criminal sense; it's basic journalism 101 in today's digital world.

The Obama folks had the same info but decided not to charge Assange because they knew it would be a bad look for press freedom. Fast forward, and the Trump administration decided to go all in, throwing espionage charges at Assange that could lock him away for centuries. All for what? Doing the kind of investigative work that uncovers government secrets and holds them accountable.

Also, let's not forget about the whole deal with Chelsea Manning and the password thing. That attempt didn't even work, and there's no solid proof Assange was the guy behind the keyboard on that one. It feels like they're stretching the story to make the charges stick.

Speaking of stretching, remember President Executive Order 13526, section 1.7? It literally says you can't classify info just to hide government screw-ups or avoid embarrassment. That's a big deal because it means a lot of what Manning leaked (and Assange published) should never have been secret in the first place. We're talking about stuff the public deserves to know, not top-secret national security risks. Manning’s lawyer even argued that the leaked info didn’t contain anything that was still sensitive or would harm ongoing missions. It was all about avoiding a red face for the government.

What's really at stake here isn't just one man's freedom; it's about protecting the right to know what our governments are up to. When they went after Assange with those Espionage Act charges, they weren't just targeting him; they were firing a warning shot at every journalist out there.

Lastly, Assange isn't even a US citizen. He's an Australian, which makes the US's push to prosecute him under the Espionage Act even more concerning. It sets a scary precedent for journalists worldwide – if the US can go after a foreign national like this, what's stopping them from targeting others?

So yeah, I'm with Assange on this. It's not just about him; it's about defending the fundamental right to a free press and our right to know

5 Years of experience as a software developer, currently working a blend of sysadmin and software dev roles, but I would like to pursue a career more defined by software development.

I'm a father, husband, and forever student. I love learning and I'm highly motivated to learn and teach myself anything.

I do homelabbing for fun, I also produce music and love the snow and mountains!

Thanks for reading, hope to hear from you!
Biggest issue I have with them is eating the binding glue in paperback books; they go nuts for that stuff.
8-bit can have banding even without "HDR". Definitely not enough. 10 bit HDR video is becoming more common, and popularity for images will follow. Adoption is hampered by the fact that Windows has bad HDR support, but it all works plenty well on macOS and mobile platforms.
Why use ints in the first place if what you really want is strings?
Uncontrolled free speech benefits the more powerful, manipulative forces the most. Apparently a huge portion of people's minds can be bent with disinformation in order to create supporters, voters, haters, etc. Probably this is the biggest threat to humanity currently, and this is what Elon Musk's X platform (and himself) supports.

Free speech is very important and powerful, but truth (the real truth) is what matters the most. Free speech of lies and conspiracies is a very dangerous thing until most people gets good enough in critical thinking.
I don't think HN is the appropriate forum for such a discussion.
Heh. Python's enums are not real types, they're just funny classes, so you still have to do dumb things like assign an internal value (commonly a dumb int) and were (and probably still are) wildly deficient in many other commonly-desired ways for a very long time. A bunch of things covered in this blog post (like StrEnum and EnumCheck) weren't added until pretty recently.
This only holds if defense outscales attack. It seems very likely that attack outscales defense to me with LLMs.
Wirth regretted it later and didn't add it to Oberon. Quote from "From Modula to Oberon":

"Enumeration types appear to be a simple enough feature to be uncontroversial. However, they defy extensibility over module boundaries. Either a facility to extend given enumeration types has to be introduced, or they have to be dropped. A reason in favour of the latter, radical solution was the observation that in a growing number of programs the indiscriminate use of enumerations (and subranges) had led to a type explosion that contributed not to program clarity but rather to verbosity. In connection with import and export, enumerations give rise to the exceptional rule that the import of a type identifier also causes the (automatic) import of all associated constant identifiers. This exceptional rule defies conceptual simplicity and causes unpleasant problems for the implementor."
Can you explain what CCA is?

I live in Ontario, I also have proper winters. It's not so much the plastic windows I bought than the ones previous owners did.

The argon seal eventually fails with enough cold/hot cycles, or wear on the silicon seal, etc.

If you're a diligent homeowner, you probably minimize the temperature cycles and take care of the seals, they might last 25-30 years (especially if it's good quality units).

If I'm buying a new window I want something that I can repair and maintain for a long time. So it's wood frame for me, and specifically a rot resistant wood species if possible (not old growth, unless it's reclaimed)
Yeah, the current crop of LLMs don't dynamically train on user input and this is probably why.

I'll tell you what: if, out of all of the questions you feel I sidestepped, you'd like to choose one, I can try to answer it.

What I can't do is keep going in a back-and-forth where each response guarantees an even more time-consuming rebuttal.
I'm sure you're probably spot on. Going to take a deeper look at Struct regardless; it's intriguing.
Jobs are being replaced because they're good enough at bullshitting that the C-suites see dollar signs by being able to not pay people by using aforementioned bullshitting software.

Like that post from Klarna that was on HN the other day where they automated 2/3 of all support conversations. Anyone with a brain knows they're useless as chat agents for anyone with an actual inquiry, but that's not the part that matters with these AI systems, the amount of money psycho MBAs can save is the important part
Ask HN: Launching a Virtual Assistant Business for HN
Hi all,

I'm launching a new virtual assistant business designed for the busy Hacker News community (with plans to expand later).

What's a VA? A remote assistant to take care of those mundane, time-sucking tasks [Wikipedia Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_assistant_(occupation]

Why You?

1.Tech-Forward: You value efficiency and outsourcing makes sense.

2.Makers & Founders: You need support, not more distractions.

3.Remote Pros: Virtual assistance aligns perfectly with your work style.

Services:

1.Inbox Control

2.Schedule Management

3.Focused Research

4.Data Organization

5.Travel Booking

6.Deal Hunting (save money on Amazon & more!)

and more to come!

Questions:

1.Your Biggest Pain Point? What task would you LOVE to offload?

2.Ideal VA Qualities? What matters most to you?

3.Hourly, Package, or Retainer? Tell me your preferred pricing model.

Launch Offer: First 3 respondents get 2 FREE WEEKS of VA service! Email me for details.

Could your network benefit? I'm gauging interest – perhaps someone you know needs this kind of support. Let me know via email!

Grattis for launching! The site looks nice and clear.

While I like the privacy part and use static hosting myself, I don't think mixing them makes for good value proposition. Nor do I think those prices will alone make for a viable business you can quit your day job for.

I might not be your target market though and you might have some other goal in mind :)

Lycka till!

I totally agree that go nailed the head on a lot of things, including the list you provided (minus package system). I’m not convinced the evolution was intentional though from the start. From my memory the _attitude_ of the go ecosystem was that generics were not worth the complexity (for example). I don’t have any concrete evidence of that, it’s just the vibe I got from talking to folks about it.

I also have great distaste for error handling in go but that’s a distinct argument to have.
Re: your democracy comment, note that Trump and Biden have both converted public land reserves and in cases near/impacting national parks into private oil drilling sites. Not to the point of drilling inside national parks yet, but expanding and encroaching. Given the bipartisan efforts to convert public land and the reversals on campaign promises without perceptible consequence, I'm skeptical of relying on the "voting and waiting" strategy to protect our undeveloped lands. You are overstating how democratic this process is.
TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | REMOTE (Europe / Middle East / Africa)

TalkJS lets developers build a perfect chat feature in just a few minutes. We power communication in online marketplaces, community sites, multiplayer apps, trading platforms and so on. We're product driven and we care tremendously about quality.

We're headquartered in the Netherlands and our team is spread across the Central European Timezone +/- 3h.

We're particularly looking for:

* Mobile SDK Developer (iOS/Android/React Native/Flutter)
* Full-stack Developer (Elixir/TypeScript/Postgres)

If you enjoy crafting perfect libraries and APIs for other programmers to use, get in touch!

TalkJS touches millions of people and is growing quickly. We want to be the tool that every developer thinks of for building communication features, a bit like what Stripe is for payments. 80% of the company is product people, founders are a designer and a programmer.

Our strategy is to give great engineers the maximum amount of freedom, so they can ship fantastic SDKs, APIs and features. This means a lot of responsibility, a lot of agency, a sane work/life balance, no meetings, no red tape. We're growing, profitable, and not dependent on venture funding. Sound good?

Other groups are going to discover the same problems. Some will act responsibly. Some will try to, but the profit motive will undermine their best intentions.

This is exactly the problem having an open non-profit leader was designed to solve.

Six month moratoriums, to vet and mitigate dangers including outside experts, would probably be a good idea.

But people need to know what they are up against. What can AI do? How do we adapt?

We don't need more secretive data gathering, psychology hacking, manipulative corporations, billionaires (or trillionaires), harnessing unknown compounding AI capabilities to endlessly mine society for 40% year on year gains. Social networks, largely engaged in winning zero/negative sum games, are already causing great harm.

That would compound all the dangers many times over.
Caffeine by itself gives me jitters. I like to combine it with theanine to cancel out the jitters and get me in a flow-ey state. Also Lions's Mane mushroom supplements work wonders and apparently causes neurogenesis which is what you want in any creative field or any field that requires you to solve puzzles for a living, or just doing it just for fun.
If you want the effects of alcohol without the downside, this is a much healthier way to get stronger effects. That's pretty reasonable, no? I'm not suggesting this as treatment for an alcoholic.
The line of sight argument is nice and succinct, and of course in some sense correct, but I've come to view the paradox in a somewhat different way: if all you have in a static and eternal universe are everlasting sources of energy, then of course you're going to run into trouble when considering equilibrium concerning energy, because it won't exist.

So while it is true that the true resolution to the paradox is that our universe is finite in age and expanding, that doesn't mean a static and eternal universe is in principle untenable. One could for example imagine as of yet unknown sinks of energy, or perhaps starlight gets recycled back into new stars as the old stars disappear. Without speculating on the mechanism, basically any universe where conservation of energy holds will have (on a large enough scale) a constant energy density, and hence, a dark sky at night.
What I like about Go is not the language itself (I'm not a language designer but I dislike a lot of choices that Go makes) but the entire culture around it of doing things the idiomatic way and moving on. I'm someone who, if you give them a tool that's flexible, will spend time optimizing it. And I'm already busy optimizing other stuff so it's nice to have something constant to build upon.

Oh and you don't have to use large power-hungry IDEs that don't integrate with any sort of config management to get a decent experience! (/hj)

If I ever learn Haskell it's over for y'all though.

(Agree with OP btw, using codegen to get the enums I want is a workable remedy for Go's lack of enums.)
When I try to port your logic over into nuclear capacity it doesn't hold very well.

Nuclear capacity is constrained, and those constraining it attempt to do so for reasons public good (energy, warfare, peace). You could argue about effectiveness, but our failure to self-annihilate seems positive testament to the strategy.

Transparency does not serve us when mitigating certain forms of danger. I'm trying to remain humble with this, but it's not clear to me what balance of benefit and danger current AI is. (Not even considering the possibility of AGI, which is beyond scope of my comment)

I don't think it's just the marketing. As you said in your earlier comment, old houses overengineer things that are visually obvious to the homeowner but not of actual safety importance. Humans are very susceptible to this visual bias. As you say, they're not inspecting fire stops, insulation standards, sprinkler placement, etc.
And the one you're replying to is also talking about battery life. The energy needed to display an image for a few seconds is probably higher than the energy needed to decode it.

Yeah I had a Martin Guitar made from "Sinker Mahogany" harvested from a river in Belize. Amazing to think that these were so plentiful that the British just let the ones that didn't make it sink to the bottom of the water. Literally hundreds if not thousands of them. It's absolutely beautiful wood for a guitar though, especially if paired with red pine for the top.
When you donate to a nonprofit, they do have to use your donation in a way consistent with the conditions under which you gave it. Donors who believe they haven't can (and have) seek redress in court.

Nonprofits are different that way.
Cool, so talking to this thing will be like talking to the boss. Can't wait for all the designated safe and appropriate Fun (TM) we'll have! It'd be better if it was just stupid.
Rust's enums are entirely unlike C enums, and reasonably similar to Java enums.

Not the first time a word has been used for several nearly-unrelated concepts, and it won't be the last.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
