When things get serious, I think you'll discover that Go provides far less reliability, and is far more complex. (What's simpler than "it's already handled for you with OTP and battled tested for 2 decades"? That's a lot more simple than "you can't do it in this language and you'll end up with a poorly implemented half version of OTP in Go."

Of course for toy or small services, go is fine. Erlang certainly could use the "build a binary run it anywhere" distribution model of Go tool.

But reading all these pro-go articles, it strikes me that none of them seem to be written by people who really understand concurrency.

Believe me, I wish Go was written by people who had understood erlang. There's a lot to like about it and it has momentum.
And why not? Businesses, through lobbying, essentially control the US government.

This is just crazy. I suspect Google would pull out of the EU rather than making its search algorithms public knowledge.
It matters if it takes seconds to run, especially if the UI around the crash reporting/data gathering isn't too great, which it often isn't.
To put this in context:
0.2% of women and 0.01% of men become rape victims every year. So the chance you get raped in the next year is 27 times bigger than the chance Apple disclosed your data to the government. Seems like we have worse things to worry about...
It is worth looking at. There are multiple ways to connect events (signals/slots), and they encourage "Bind" these days, but you can still do Connect/Disconnect or use macro-based event maps (very MFC style).

But in general it's pretty good. There was a GSOC project this year to implement a DirectX backend to the Windows drawing system instead of GDI but I don't know how well that has got on. They overhauled the drawing system to using native drawing contexts on whichever platform you're running, so you can do aliasing etc.

It's worth a look I think, as it is quite easy to write something usable in it very quickly. There is no database support anymore though - wxODBC died a death.
Pelican Bay is a supermax prison, and the SHU is for the "worst of the worst". It's unlikely they put first timers there.

As for the rationale: since the law prohibits you from actively torturing/executing prisoners, you have to resort to more creative means of inducing suffering (and thus hopefully compliance). Removing and limiting all privileges, personal belongings, and mental stimulation (including a view other than drab gray concrete walls, or sunlight) is a guaranteed way to get people's mental state to deteriorate.

The worsening of the psychological makeup is thus by intent. This is meant for people who are deemed unredeemable, as well as a punishment to threaten prisoners in less severe prisons with: "We have an even worse place for you, should you cause too much trouble."

It's torture, of course, except it's legal.

Absolute numbers are useless... Pretty much any statistic put into absolute numbers ends up being a stunning number of people.
- Designers of the language forced their where-braces-go religion on everyone by building it into the language.

For me, that means every time I attempt to write code in Go my nose is rubbed in the "this language was built by assholes who have no respect for you".
Depends on the book. The Kindle isn't great at pictures, graphs, or complex diagrams, and examples with code might lose formatting via smaller dimensions.

However, it's still convenient to not have to lug around a giant text book to read somewhere - any of them. Having a Kindle is like having your entire library with you at all times.
Best Applications and Tools for Building Mobile Apps
There was a politician called Hitler that used this hiphotesis: "masses are stupid", and he got to control Germany entirely(probably the better educated country in the world, with the smarter people like Einstein, Von Braun, and so on), and kill millions of Germans in the process.

That's the most naive oversimplification of what happened in Hitler's Germany I've ever read.

"the mass of people are dissolute or self-absorbed to the point of naivete"

In a few of the Culture novels Banks makes a point of the fact that the Culture annoys a lot of other civilizations (or more accurately, the leaders of other civilizations) by being the nice guys who appear to always finish first - which as we all know, is not supposed to be how the real world works.

The idea of a society that goes to extreme lengths to ensure that all of it's citizens are happy and lead long and fulfilling lives, doing pretty much whatever they want to do (extreme sports, building stuff, designing worlds, playing games, helping other civilizations...) seems to annoy a lot of people - for reasons I've never quite understood.

Of course, outside of Special Circumstances, an individual human isn't going to contribute much to a society that includes billions of hyper-intelligent AIs and trillions of lesser AIs - but the Culture has accepted that the humans role in their society (also shared by a lot of the drone AIs) is basically to have fun. Personally, I could live with that.

If you're not changing your tests on every interview batch you're doing it wrong.

You're asking a potential candidate to spend hours cracking your program but you can't be bothered to change it for each batch?

I expect any company applying this interview technique to at least put some effort into it and even then it pays off since a batch could contain hundreds of candidates and you only have to build the program once.

A regular Kindle (paper-white) lasts for about a month with regular usage (few hours a day). Even with critical battery charge you can skip a day or two until you get around to charge it. Once you get used to that behavior charge time of once a week becomes very annoying. Tablets/Phones and eBook readers are completely different device categories when it comes to battery life.
That might be true, but it wouldn't change much about my point, so I don't really care...

I own a 3D printer. It's an Ultimaker (they are coming to the US [1]) and I'm using it for prototyping.

Some things that you almost never read about consumer 3D printers:

* 3D printing is hard.
* You cannot print 'everything'. Overhang is always an issue.
* Most prints take hours (as in 'a full day') to print.
* You cannot print fast and have a good quality print.
* There are a ton of factors that influence the print quality.
* Every type / color of filament needs it's own settings based on trial and error.
* Great 3D print examples are mostly print on +$50.000 printers.

I think the Ultimaker and Makerbot are the only brands that deliver good reliable consumer printers.
But I'm also keeping an eye on Formlabs.

"macros that are so powerful"

You just made every single Common Lisp programmer who reads your comment cringe.

Clojure is a very nice language and while it has no real innovations it does bundle a few unusual (for mainstream) concepts into a single easy to use package. However, you should wait with calling Clojure macros "powerful" until after you get access to readtable. Or wait, you won't ever, that's a feature, supposedly...
Because you can't slide your finger across the page if you're holding it with one hand. Particularly if you want to go back to the previous page.

Netflix launches in Germany, Austria and Switzerland within 3 days
I really like Clojure (and have enjoyed David Nolen's CLJS tutorials and guides), but I find ClojureScript to have terribly arcane tooling. Despite being familiar with Clojure, it's still 10 minutes of cargo-culting and copy-pasting before I can start actually working on a ClojureScript project. Slightly ironic for a language which places such an emphasis on removing "incidental complexity."
I've had the good fortune of visiting Camp Leakey with primatologist Leif Cocks of the orangutan project (http://orangutan.org.au) and they are every bit as intelligent and mischievous as described.

An important side note to this article is that (despite this observed fishing behavior) Orangutans swim, in his words, "like bricks". This leads to a lot of sub speciation either side of river systems and sadly makes migration difficult in what scraps are left of their habitat.

Apple will no longer unlock most devices for police, even with search warrants
"On devices running iOS 8, your personal data such as photos, messages (including attachments), email, contacts, call history, iTunes content, notes, and reminders is placed under the protection of your passcode. Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data"

This is key. The way we engineer software and services can have a major impact on the war against overly invasive government requests. We know that these requests will come; it's our responsibility to design things in a way that protects customers from our legal obligations when confronted with them to the greatest extent possible.

While this certainly serves their own interests, kudos to Apple for baking this type of consideration into the basic iOS design. They should and will be financially rewarded for it.

Keeping It Quiet – CryptoNote Special Conclusion (Part 3 of 3)
Oh really? I can see that I suppose, but I always found it kind of nice that they enforce a very specific style. It makes it so that all Go code I see is consistent and clear. Same with the way they do documentation.

I guess it does take some of the aesthetic or artistic quality out of it, but in practice it's never bothered me. On the contrary, not having the option removes quite a bit of mental overhead on what (to me) comes down to a fairly religious but ultimately inconsequential viewpoint.
Yeah, the Bundaberg range is definitely Australian. They do ginger beer (what Australians call root beer) as well as sarsaparilla. Both are fantastic drinks.

While I don't know everything about either the US or NL prison systems, I have lived in both places and do know both a guard at a non-maximum security correctional facility in California, and several psychologists who work at TBS 'clinics' in NL. For non-Dutch, these TBS clinics are where many dangerous criminals can be held for longer terms than are normally associated with the punishment for a given crime, based on the fact that these people are mentally unstable and likely to commit a crime again.

The differences in the criminal systems are huge. I agree that a great way to judge a society is by how it treats it's inmates, and that this could certainly be improved in Holland... but comparing the prison systems in the US to NL is just ridiculous.

Sentences are incredibly short in NL compared to US. There is a focus on re-entry into society, not so in the US. Life-long imprisonment is extremely rare in NL, with most cases being people in TBS clinics under supervision and care of psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. There is no death penalty. The incarceration rate is 8x higher in the US.

"the society never works"

It's a fairly common view in the UK - notably Thatcher's "There is no such thing as society" thing - which isn't actually as bad as it sounds if you listen to it in context (and I'm probably to the left of most people on HN and I'm not a particular fan of Thatcher).

Personally, I constantly struck by how the public sector here in the UK seems to contain both the absolute best of society (military, emergency services, a lot of NHS front line staff) and some of the absolute worst (mostly self serving bureaucrats).
It's a side project (and given the setup doomed to fail anyway). Super big (US) IT-companies struggel with how to being profitable, whilest IT is capital/work intensive (to avoid these embarassing bugs).

There is a long-tail, but it's not for you.

"I know personally I'm good enough to do magical, wizardly stuff"

In my experience really good developers don't see it like that, they see it more like the Brian Kernighan quote:

"Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?"

It isn't that they are worried that "lesser" programmers will make a mess using "clever" code, but rather they are worried how long it will take them to debug their own "clever" code, or just decipher such code they produced themselves in the future after they haven't looked at it in 6 months.

I've tried Go some too. I disagree with your assessment of the data structures (inheritance isn't always great), but the tool thing I strongly agree with.

I'd note that all the replies at this time argue the point about data structures, but none address the tooling.

I want my autocompletetion, dammit! And I don't want to use Emacs or Vi to get it.

The lack of refactoring support was what ended up making me switch back to Java+Dropwizard. I'm just much quicker at evolving services because of the better tooling.
Collusion in gaming journalism uncovered

You're forgetting that for all the Snowden leaks have revealed, the info in the press about Prism is still classified. IANAL, but I would imagine Apple could get smacked quite a bit if it started talking about its cooperation (not necessarily voluntary cooperation, that is) with NSA initiatives like Prism.

I mean when the wikileaks cable dump came out, there was quite a bit of noise about how US government people should not visit the site because it would still constitute a breach of security even though it was in the public domain, and that they could lose their jobs for it. This is no different, really. The material is still classified whether it's spread all over the press or not, so discussing it with uncleared persons such as the public would (IANAL, again) I imagine be a breach of security.

The quote is extremely misleading. Sure, it's encrypted by your passcode, and that's great.

It's important to note however that the passcode is just 4 digits long by default, and could be bruteforced by Apple in milliseconds if they wanted to. So to say that "Apple cannot bypass your passcode" is misleading, as guessing it is absurdly easy.

Well, I think whatever Apple says, you will find a "loophole" in the wording that supposedly allows them to do evil things. Try it: pretend you are Apple and just try writing a statement that you would consider acceptable and that you wouldn't call "word games, deception and legalese".

Myself, I think they did fairly well, certainly the best of any tech company out there today.
Not the point. The point is that they've done enough to legally respond to government requests by saying "we don't have a way to access the data". Hacking customers' phones, regardless of how easy it might be, is far beyond the scope of anything that a US court can order a private party to do.
