This email passed unit tests.

I would love gmail (or any mail composing tool) to trigger my defined list of unit tests whenever I click on "send". Something similar to OP. For me it would probably be:

- the email must be direct and concise

- the email must be respectful of the recipient and of anyone else would could read

- the email must use proper English

And the AI would give suggestions to reach the goals if some of them failed.

Though, bear in mind that _Generic is not generic templating. Highly useful, but it's more of a macro.

You can run into issues with aliased types, or where types of the same size accidentally fall through into the wrong parts of the _Generic selector.

"Every abstraction on top adds extra complexity and isn't really necessary"

This. In my experience, every project that has non-trivial query requirements starts out as "this ORM is nice, it takes away 90% of my work" and ends with "how do I get rid of that leaky abstraction layer that constantly makes my life harder."

Right every step of every dev task is ticketed, scheduled and measures within a millimeter of its life in many orgs. The people working the tickets aren't to blame when it all goes wrong in the big picture.

I've worked at shops with agile coaches, consultants, product teams, multiple management layers, etc all attending agile planning/retro/blab sessions. They always had really strong opinions on the minutae of each footstep (tickets/sprint), but couldn't speak to where the path was to take us. Essentially zero quarterly let alone annual planning.

A lot of management these days is the equivalent of driving and saying "I'll decide where I'm going when I get to the next stop light", repeated every 2 weeks.
Of course. I can't imagine how you'd define such a thing objectively.

But a fair bit of content is more-or-less unanimously off limits, and it doesn't seem useful to say "I can't define it rigorously so I guess we have to allow the child torture porn". Communities are best-effort activities.
I assume this is relates to the posts in recent days suggesting Reddit is now penalising users for interacting with some posts about Luigi Mangione.

As we’ve seen previously, Reddit will continue to slowly evolve in a direction that suits its corporate owners, and protests may feel empowering in the short but fail to change anything in the longer term.

In the meantime, it would be a shame[0] if this was protested using the John Oliver approach[1] only with pictures of Luigi.

> You appear to be detached from any actual reality.

Ah, the classic ad hominem.

> But yes, do you not understand why the US spent the last half century preventing nuclear proliferation?

This too is calling me ignorant because I disagree with your assessment:

What triggered the destabilizing of global order was the preceding three generations of American weakness and not Trump. Trump was a predictable outcome of, eg, multiple generations of selling the US out to China.

Nuclear proliferation is indeed a symptom of that destabilization — but you’re blaming another symptom (Trump) rather than the underlying cause. And proliferation was still happening, eg, North Korea and Iran.

> And it just turns out that the US -- specifically because of people like you -- is the natural enemy of a lot of other nations.

Mhm.
Unfortunately as I've seen countless times, it's also writing on the wall to the management team "TIME TO MOVE ON CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANOTHER COMPANY", I don't know why we don't expect management's head on the chopping block. If a captain orders a course into an iceberg, idk why we can't just hang the captain and course correct.
> 2) That is sensible for the company. They have no idea how to use a 10x engineer, as can be detected by the fact that they're having layoffs. They don't know how to create value in the market and they're being forced into a position where they have to squeeze what they can out of what assets they have.

Okay, now explain why every company is encountering these issues where they're frequently laying off people and are unable to create value. The frequency of layoffs is diametrically opposed to your thesis because otherwise companies would behave in a way to reduce layoffs. Such as hiring fewer employees and encouraging longer term retention.

> If a company is having layoffs, that is the invisible hand of the market writing on the wall "THIS MANAGEMENT TEAM DOESN"T KNOW HOW TO MAKE MONEY AT THE MOMENT, STOP GIVING THEM IMPORTANT RESOURCES". That includes 10x engineers.

This is basically the Just World fallacy but applied to the free market. If something occurs then it's justified as a perfectly rational action of the invisible free hand of the market. In reality layoffs are rarely conducted by the people most equipped to do them, but via a mandate from heaven that you must cut your team for the sake of Number even if you're one of the most efficient teams in the company.

Not necessarily. If you give up a good job to join a firm that has over-hired, its only obvious in retrospect that you took a bad risk.
If Russia nuked the Ukraine, I would be astonished if the West didn't invade Russia. The primary goal being the end of Putin, and all those who aided him. If resisted, and Russia threatened more nuking, then Russia would need to be nuked.

(I expect a first response would be a single city, with warnings to evacuate.
A show of what's next.)

The goal would be that Russians assist in taking out an out of control, lunatic who will destroy us all.

Understand, this isn't just about today. Over the next 100 years, every country will obtain the capacity for nukes. Every person on this planet needs to see, and know that using them indiscriminately means you lose.

The consequences are too dire otherwise.
I'm not even sure why we are still stuck in this debate. Isn't there quite a big consensus that the best way to handle errors is to have everything return an `Either<T, Error>` and having first-class support for monadic types?

Any design that doesn't actually force you to handle the error case cannot be called good in my opinion.

>Ultimately, work that’s too easy is no fun, and it’s not the basis of a rewarding career. All you’re doing is selling time, and as you get a little older you’ll come to realise that time is a non-renewable resource.

There's this strange myth that white collar workers try and find meaning or reward in their work. If the stars align so that the unquenchable thirst from your brain can be satiated with white collar work then great, keep going. But I suspect that work is just that, selling your time for survival and comfort in other parts of your life. It's even weirder that we place the onus of finding such meaning on the worker when we've built an economic system that expects them to behave like Homo Economicus; getting the best possible economic reward for the smallest possible input. Most of us don't have the luxury of pursuing challenge, putting food on the table is hard enough as it is.

There's plenty of meaning up for grabs in parts of life that don't have anything to do with money. I think as a species we've optimized for the wrong thing; there's a better life to be had with quality leisure time than the convenience lifestyle our current economy seems aimed at. Sell as little of your time for as much as you can get for it and invest that time where you're sure to derive meaning from it.

I personally believe ActiveRecord is a gigantic anti-pattern and should be avoided at all costs (by anyone, ever). And I also happen to have had very bad experiences with ORM and feel like most of the time they are not needed at all. So yes. But even if you want an ORM, there's a few popular ORM libraries. You can just include one and start using it, no need to use a framework for that (for ActiveRecord I wouldn't know).
Because layoffs are not done to make company great but to make sure shareholders and execs preserve their wealth. It's never about company or people or technology - it's always about money, power and wealth.
One problem with the digital age is you can find news to support any view, regardless of how disconnected from reality it may be. And enough people to echo such that one may not realize how ridiculous they sound.
I think when it comes to metropolises, one of the elements that makes them possible in the long run is a location that is a hub type or has natural amenities that lend themselves to comfortable low-cost living for generations as a relatively small village. It has to be nice enough not to move away from for people who would do perfectly well anywhere, including a big(ger) city.

Then it must be attractive enough and welcoming to newcomers in a continuous way for critical mass to build over the period of time necessary.

Now let's count the hours of "useless meetings" and how much time could be saved there. And that would cost us nothing.

You’re assuming that the reason they don’t fill in your optional questions are lack of agency, when it is more likely they’d rather spend that time applying to more jobs. The early stages of the job market is called screening and is a wide net with low success rate. The incentives, especially with juniors, are to play a numbers game. If you are looking for culture fit, say that. And then have one such interview later in the process in a personal context.

According to another commenter you’re asking for free labor (familiarizing themselves with your code and writing a design doc). If this is true, discussions of personal agency and creativity might be distracting from the real issues.
> would rather focus on the topic than the process itself. Too much focus on the process and a little too little on the subject.

Everyone seems to write for different reasons, for better or worse. Maybe for some people, getting to think long about the process itself, is the goal, then they're successful even if they never even publish a post.

With that said, I'm guessing most people start a blog because they want to say something, and then you're right, the only way to succeed is to put your fingers to the keyboard and finally publish something. But its worth keeping in mind that not everyone have the same goal.

These particular words haven't evolved in any meaningful way in the last century or so. If anything socialism now refers exclusively to revolutionary/militant utopian socialism whereas it had more varied meanings long ago. That's probably largely an artifact of the fact that socialism since the early 1900s has mainly been promoted by socialist countries after a revolution.

Go on a socialist forum and ask them what they think about markets or mixed economies. E.g.

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Socialism_101/comments/w03n2p/what_...

- https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/19558...

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Socialism_101/comments/19ewm26/can_...

- https://www.google.com/search?q=reddit+socialism+mixed+econo...

I think is great that folk self observe, and that is a key to a lot, everyone ought to find what works for themselves, however there is a tendency to want to fix things with pills. There is a fundamental error there, if successful you might damp your symptoms but then you start a Whac-A-Mole (whac-a-symptom) but you are not looking at the root. The problem will come in another form. Have you consider that the symptom is a defence mechanism ?What about Taichi, mindfulness ness practices, yoga why not a study on that? It is definitely more work… than taking some pills. No I am not against taking supplements. But ultimately is a workaround you are not fixing the bug

Facebook and Google are creating a solution to a problem they themselves created by killing competition and the open web. That's the only reason it may appear that alternative means of communications is "difficult" or "sometimes impossible."
Prive has a specific meaning. Are you seeking proveble code like box logic and Haskell?

Or do you seek someone to, rather than prove one screwdriver is less error prone than another, to demonstrate it is?

If so, that would depend on context of screws, wood, lefthandedness. A proof in a special case is especially limited. So a demonstration.

Can you demonstrate Go's method of error hanling for a specific context is superior? Yes, you can.
Supreme Court Marshalls can enforce the courts order (and arrest) and answer to the court rather than the executive/ DOJ. Only federal police I can think of outside the executive branch that would have the power to do it.

Is this something you commonly struggle with? Sounds like something that could be a deeper issue than just "writing emails in a weird way", as you'd hit that issue using your natural voice, which you can kind of hack away in emails with LLMs, but what about communication outside the computer?
>horses are better than tanks

There's pics of UKR javalin calvary too. It's precisely because they're situationally better than tanks in certain combat conditions. For the same reason everyone is zipping around in dirt bikes and golf carts or UKR retiring M1 tanks from frontlines. Look up survivability onion, tanks/armor get detected and destroyed because they're too visible vs modern frontline battlefield recon. If you want to survive, have to move to smaller/more agile platforms to avoid detection in the first place. RU and UKR are both learning and adapting. It's reflection that last 50 years of doctorine is obsolete, aka everything EU military also hedged on. If shit ever hits the fan, NATO maybe donkeying as well.
No. The clutch pedal.

With a manual transmission it is possible to start the engine without the starter if the car is moving. You press the clutch, put the transmission into whatever gear makes sense for the speed, release the clutch briefly. You can do it from a dead stop by pushing the car if you're on a level surface, on a hill, or at highway speed.

Most cars for decades now have had some form of disabling the starter unless the clutch is pressed, and pressed all the way.

That does make sense in the normal case when the car is not moving. If the car is parked, you usually do not want the starter to make the car move. If the clutch is not pressed all the way, then the car might move when the starter turns over the engine.

That car apparently also disabled the ignition, or maybe they were trying to use the starter instead of pop starting. Can't tell which from what they said. You could do it either way in that situation where the car is already moving at higway speed.

"Don't allow starter without clutch" isn't always right though, just usually. It can be useful to intentionally use the starter to move the car. My 97 4runner has a factory button on the dash specifically to allow the starter to run without pressing the clutch one time. (it resets for each turn of the key) Instead of disabling the spark, in this vehicle they disable the starter if the clutch isn't pressed. Turn the key all the way and the starter just doesn't go.

The option to override that is intended for getting the vehicle unstuck from mud by using the starter motor to craw very slow in low gear, slower than the engine can go. But I only ever use it to start in neutral without getting into and back out of the car, usually to warm it up in winter but sometimes while working on it or wanting the engine for electricity temporarily while camping or working or something.

This outfit has changed the term "backdoor" to mean "any undocumented feature". The findings reported are absolutely not a backdoor in any conventional usage of the term. One would need to flash their own code to the micro to make use of these features, which is the normal operating mode for any micro device.

This is nothing other than a security research team trying to get some attention by crying wolf.
I asked it to summarise my repo. It did a pretty good job. Then I asked it to see if it could summarise a specific function, but it said my $5 was up. Now I need to find whoever's in charge of our company account and spend half an hour busking in front of their desk to get some more credit.

Until then I'm sticking to a combination of Amazon Q Developer (with the @workspace tag in Intellij), ChatGPT and Gemini online.
Prove as in statistical evidence that code and teams working with Go yield software that has lower rates of runtime defects, has faster time to debug runtime errors, has improved the productivity of developers because of its obviously superior design and philosophy of error handling, etc.

These are all measurable. Productivity is measurable. Defect rates are measurable. Time to debug is measurable.

If there's a peer reviewed paper, let's see it. If there's not, you should produce it and get hired by the Go team!

If this is indeed the superior way of handling errors:

varFoo, err := GetFoo()
if err != nil {
return err
}

and not just excess key strokes and preference of style, then there will be some statistical side effect that can be measured to prove its superiority. If you can't prove it, all you're saying is "I prefer purple because purple is obviously superior to blue! Can't you see!"...O...K.
