That's not a clear exception at all.

Within some mental model, isolated protein powder is healthy because we generally treat high protein consumption as low-risk for most people and recognize that protein isolates can be very effective for professional and amateur athletes to consume a lot of while building muscle.

In no way does that imply that these protein isolates are "extremely healthy" for the general public or even for anyone in the long term. There's just not any data to say that specifically (it's too niche to perform those kinds of studies), and far too little reason to make that assumption with confidence.

(And it's almost certainly a terrible idea for most people to eat 4-5 chicken breasts per day -- or a comparable amount of protein isolate powder. Please remember that most people are not living a gym bro lifestyle and shouldn't be following gym bro nutritional advice in the first place.)

Is there enough land on Earth to fight climate change and feed the world?
You would need some form of compile-time reflection/specialization to implement that properly (what if the second return value isn't an error? What if there's only 1 return value?). Further, you would lose the ability to add context to the error branch via fmt.Errorf, which seems rather critical to understandable error conditions.

I'm not sure I would be satisfied with any implementation of try as the language is now, I assume the Go language team would probably feel the same.
This surely has a good amount of truth. Students won't engage with striving for excellence if they are socially/environmentally discouraged from it. How do parents/teachers/peers/school react to a student being very good at something?
Agree, but the post I was responding to was suggesting it be used as an agricultural feedstock to feed things the astronauts eat - that’s where my order-of-magnitude calculation came from.
Well, that was a conscious choice of the JDK devs when they went down the path of removing things.

Raw Java is Pretty Close to being "out of the box" OK for "REST, enterprisey" stuff.

The built in HTTP server is usable and functional. Of course TLS is built in. JDBC is built in (need a driver). While XML is built in, JSON is not. Logging is built in. JMX for monitoring is built in (lots of things can talk to JMX).

Are these all "top tier" feature rich implementations? No. But they're completely usable. With some thin veneers you can make them richer and more friendly. I've been using my own trivial Logger wrapper for years (mostly to support varargs).

If you're willing to take a bit of a step, JAX-RS on Java SE works. That "single" dependency just knocks it out of the park in terms of "enterprisey" REST services.

No container, no "micro profile", just JAX-RS (but you still need a JSON library). JAX-RS really elevates the game. It'll even run on the stock HTTP server.

Add "just one more" with JPA, and you get not just the whole ORM, you also get a "free" database connection pool (otherwise, an OTS connection pool would be a nice addition).

All bottled up into a simple deployable jar, no dependencies outside of a compatible JDK. No dockers, no containers, just a jar and a JDK, a JDK that can be installed anywhere (just set JAVA_HOME and put the .../bin on your path). Drag and drop. systemd fixed the need for crafty service scripts -- it can just run the jar.

JAX-RS Jersey, JPA EclipseLink, Jackson (for JSON), and the JDK is just crazy capable tool set. You can also do MVC web stuff with Jersey. Jersey comes with Validation as well. The HK2 runtime will let you do your own injection if that's your thing (not as nice as CDI, but it's "free" with Jersey).

But, alone, (plus Jackson), the JDK will let you do anything you want, just need to write some routing logic.
This is not actually held together that well, sadly.

Your first point, I suspect, is almost certainly not true. The concepts of racial or familial lineage with divine connotations is pretty old. The entire "divine right of kings" and related hierarchies have long been there. I /think/ you are trying to say that it was a scientifically supported hierarchy and it was bad for that reason. I think that is defendable?

Not clear what point 2 has to do with US slavery? Similar existed in the Barbary area, where it was just a different religion being preferenced.

Your third point is the most amusing of them to hold against slavery as it existed in the US, though. Yes, the trans-Atlantic slave trade was unprecedented. With the majority of those enslaved not going to north america...

I think I said this in another thread, but worth repeating. There is nothing at all "well actually" in what I'm saying. Slavery is bad. Period. I wish people didn't plaster over how bad it was elsewhere in a rush to attack the US, though.

This is the “as long as programmers are perfect and remember to always do the right thing everywhere, everything will be great” argument.

Developers are not perfect and the footguns in languages have a cumulative effect. Any one thing isn’t necessarily a big deal but when you have multiple interacting footguns (always check for nil, nil interfaces don’t actually equal nil, default zero values need to be sane even when they make no sense, etc.) both the surface area for errors and the level of care needed to avoid them increases dramatically.

Regardless of whether or not either interlocutor understands the term, using the term virtue signaling itself is self-defeating for both parties for different reasons.

For the one hearing it, it’s a red herring, and for the one saying it, it’s a dog whistle. For the third party person reading the interaction without or with lesser context, it’s a thought-terminating cliche.
The original X-COM (aka UFO: Enemy Unknown), despite being 32-bit, had two completely separate executables for the strategy part and the tactical combat part. The game basically dumped the relevant state like inventory to disk and then exited and relaunched the other process at switch points.

My question was specifically about the outliers: has any research been done if outlying achievements go hand in hand with outlier IQs? Without any research or evidence, it's an area prone to a Just World fallacy where extraordinary achievements "ought" to be achieved by extraordinary talent.

Even at the most blood-thirsty periods USSR had programs for gifted youth, math clubs at school, and even dedicated highly selective schools. They also had cheap entertaining pop-sci books. The schools would fail the students who don't pass the tests.

That's fair enough, but I do still expect that someone who really wants to avoid CSS will still be put off by the extent to which Tailwind still is, in essence, CSS. I think Tailwind has advantages (the ones you note), but "being able to not learn CSS" is not it.

I would suggest languages facing the same problem learn from Perl 5's success, rather than the various failures of Python 3.

Every† minor point release of Perl 5 creates backward-incompatible changes. These can be opted into individually, or on a per-file basis by simply specifying the version of Perl used. It all works. Differently-versioned Perl code can call each other as much as it likes.

There was never any reason why Python 3 needed to be anything other than Python 2 with this at the top of the file:

use Python 3.n

For various values of `n`. Perhaps when enough time passes, that's just Python now, and you have to copy-paste this into all the legacy code:

use Python 2

That's it. Any language can do this, they just have to decide not to make life hard for everyone.

It's interesting to imagine the head scratching going on in this thread. All these clever people, stumped. 'How can this be!???'. Quite the post, bravo OP.

But seriously, other comments have this nailed. This 'benchmark' isn't comparing apples with apples. There are too many quirks, optimisations and design decisions (of a compiler) that have not being taken into account.

Also, as others have repeated, this isn't indicative of actual usage - real world usage. In that regard, this type of 'benchmark' isn't scientific at all, and worse, is misleading a naive reader.
Chinese Expulsion Act of 1882
"If you really don't want people instantiating instances of a type on their own, can't you just make the type private but make a factory for the type public?"

"Yes", but really, no. It is syntactically valid to write a function that returns an unexported type, and you can technically get an instance of that unexported type in your other package by using := to assign it to a variable. However, you can not name the type in the other packages at all. So, you can not say "var x mypkg.unexportedType", even if you can "x := mypkg.ReturnUnexportedType()". You can not put it in a struct/channel/slice/map/whatever, since you can't name it and there's no equivalent of := for types. You can't refactor the function that contains the "x" in any way that involves passing it to a new function because the type signature for the new function would have to mention the unexported type, which it can't do, and there is no inference for function types that would let you elide it. Reflect restrictions on unexported types are still in effect so even trying to put it in an "any" isn't really all that useful.

Basically, it's useless, even though it's just barely sort of valid, because it's much more than just creation that is blocked. In practice you have to export types you want users to be able to assign to, put in structs, etc., and if they are exported, their zero values can be created by any package that imports them. One of the standard linters in golangci-lint will warn you if you accidentally write an unexported type into an exported type or value, because you didn't mean that, even if you thought you did.

You can write an interface that you export, and then return an unexported data type that conforms to that interface. However, you then can't prevent someone from having a nil instance of that interface, so in terms of preventing invalid data, this doesn't really do anything useful. This is more useful for manipulating package documentation by not exporting types unnecessarily and having to write docs for them (or, if you don't write docs, having them appear in the godoc) then as access control.
Wasn't there something about gifted students not necessarily translating into gifted adults? And that it's just that they are faster to reach a level of development, but doesn't mean they will go beyond the normal limit.

Like the rate of development and learning just follows a different curve, but ends up near the same point once an adult.

I think it was only some gifted student retain an advantage in adulthood, and it is normally when they are gifted in a specific discipline for which they maintain a consistent and continued practice through to their adulthood.

While it goes give developers a choice - it favours large business who can obtain a better rate.

The only pro to apple's model is that developers small and large were on equal competitive footing to consumers.

While I believe it's good that developers have a choice, the reality is that this means that larger companies will always have better margins than small operators, helping solidify their position in the market.

> the West African tribes often sold the slaves to Europeans

I think that you are being disingenuous here. The African tribes that sold slaves were not necessarily the slave’s own tribe, but rather a different tribe that proved victorious in war or raiding. The slave’s own tribe, as I mentioned, would hardly have been unable to ransom its own people from the US due to lack of literacy, lack of communications, and lack of financial means. Meanwhile, postal connections between North Africa and Europe were reliable enough by the 17th and 18th centuries that slaves could message home for ransom, and this was frequently allowed as it proved highly lucrative for Barbary slaveholders.

> white slaves in a non-white country

This is a completely ahistorical way of describing the matter. In terms of race linked to skin colour, Barbary slaveholders very much considered themselves white in opposition to the black African populations to the south whom they exploited. (This survives in modern Mauritanian slaveholding.)

Moreover, Muslim slaveholding here and in the broader region was bound up with with issues of religion, not race as the modern USA understands it. In as little as a single generation post-manumission, those descendants of raided European slaves were no longer necessarily regarded as an outcaste, provided they were observant Muslims, which is why so much of the power in the Ottoman Empire famously ended up in the hands of men of Eastern European descent. At least in terms of knowing your progeny would be better off, they had privilege that African chattel slaves in the USA could only dream of.

I'm not this super smart or anything, but I was allowed to skip a grade and the result was hell for me - I was a scrawny kid even in my age group and a year of physical development means a lot at young ages.

I basically had no friends and quite a few enemies for a year before my parents wizened up and took me to a different school.
Very misleading title. Looks more like they were granted access to SORA
It’s not dishonest to not want to call something that is not a recall a recall.

You might note that while the definition presented doesn’t explicitly exclude over the air updates, it also didn’t explicitly include them. Very likely because it was written before they were a thing.

In my opinion this definition of the recall uses the original definition, and people are now saying that since an OTA update is not specifically precluded from being a recall under this definition, surely that must be part of the original meaning of the word (which the parent comments have already established is incorrect).
> I'm guessing that the earliest loot boxes for kids were baseball card packs

Baseball card packs are an innovation. If you read Peanuts, you'll see that they're referred to as "bubble gum cards", because cards were included as promotional items in packs of gum, a "free toy inside" that was compatible with the size and shape of bubble gum. They moved to dedicated packs of cards when people started buying gum to get the cards.

So instead we have 10 different libraries and 100 different custom implementations to do those things in Go. Compared to almost every other major language where you can do functional stuff (and everything else the Go developers decided we didn't need) natively:

Java: Arrays.stream(nums).map(n -> n * n).toArray();
Kotlin: nums.map { it * it }
Python: list(map(lambda x: x*2, nums))
C#: nums.Select(n => n * n).ToArray();
Ruby: nums.map { |n| n*2 }
Rust: nums.iter().map(|&n| n * n).collect();
Perl: map { $_ * $_ } @nums;
Aha. That phrase was supposed to support your viewpoint, not mine. "99% hard work" -- in contrary to intelligence.

I tried to find what he might have said that you were referring to, and stumbled upon that phrase, and since it was "your" quote, I didn't double check it.

But it's something else then, or maybe a misunderstanding somehow.
> and has poor IDE support outside that vendor's IDE

For the main point, Kotlin feels like something that would be anathema to a large group of Go devs who favor a small language. It's precisely the limits that viewpoint imposes that has meant Go is not my favorite language, but its clear that group is a big driver of Go's userbase.
