I freely admit that I do not know the intimate details of Go development, but my point is that they are almost irrelevant. Go is still perceived to be controlled by (and therefore is controlled by) Google. How much that is actually true is almost irrelevant until the perception changes. And with a name like “Go”, Google likely has no intention or wish for that perception to change.

I mean, can anyone claim that an internal developer at, say, Microsoft or Apple could develop programs in Go and have them become used for large parts of the internal company infrastructure without it becoming politically sensitive, just as if they had chosen, say, C? Until that happens, Go is not an obviously-neutral platform, and I therefore have no desire to use it.

If garbage collection is acceptable, you'd learn more from trying OCaml - or even Haskell, if you want to really expand your comfort zone. I'm not saying don't learn Go eventually, but for the "second language" you should try something more different from C/C++ so you get more of an idea of the range of stuff out there.
See, this is what I don't really get. Sure, they can make money by selling ads on the content they're indexing (which is the primary reason their ranking system has to stay egalitarian, or roughly so with a few exceptions), but publishers are by no means obligated to purchase display ads from Google, or to host using Google's platforms (Youtube, Blogger, etc). Imho, it's only a blurred line iff a publisher chooses to make it so.

Completely and utterly false.
Sure, the java bloated ecoystem is a real issue. Yet, imagine yourself building UI component without classes or inheritance ? Can't even say something like "my custom button is a special kind of android button, with just those two methods being overriden".

GUI is to me the field where inheritance actually makes a lot of things easier and natural. Now you may end up with something similar using struct inheritance and manually overriding function for the given type, but i doubt most devs will go past the first unsuccesfull attempts.
I noticed a similar phenomenon, but I'd distinguish 3 different kinds:

1. As a child (and still as an adult) I sometimes get this tingling sensation in my scalp when someone does something very mundane (e. g. when I watch the barber cutting my hair). I definitely have to be in the mood for that. So, this scalp sensation comes mostly when I see and observe something. Sometimes, it also comes when someone tells a story in a soft voice. My father could trigger that when I was a child.

2. Some music just gives me the chills. This tingling sensation is mostly "goosebumps down my neck and spine", less in my scalp. I found that "Brutal Dubstep Drops" never fail to cause it quite strongly and fast. E. g. this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQU9RFTR_84 (edit2: this never gets old and almost always works, how weird. If you listen to it, listen at least the first 1:30 minutes)

3. If someone touches my neck or back and uses fingernails to stroke me very softly. I get goosebumps and my body doesn't get used to it for 15-20 minutes if done right.

I guess 2+3 are different from ASMR, but I definitely experienced it. Quite enjoyable.

Edit: Also this video, as cheesy as it might be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc&list=PLFC4EE4355...

I think, for me, it has something to do with fascination, mix of repetitiveness and variation, and a relaxed state of the person I observe.
In the first paragraph, this clumsiness:

I run in to this from time to time with S3stat. We have real server expenses processing people's reports, so there is in fact a genuine loss to the business if we refund a customer who "forgot to cancel".

Still, I do it every time. For as far back as they want to go. Even if that's a year. Even if it costs us a hundred bucks worth of AWS expenses.

Why? Because I'm not in the business of taking money from people who don't want to give it to me. Sure, it costs a few hundred dollars every now and then but a few hundred dollars is not a lot of money for a business. The biggest expense in the whole process is my time and attention spent dealing with the situation.

Given that, the quickest and cheapest route out is to open up the Stripe console, click the Refund button a bunch of times, cancel the guy's subscription, then write him a nice email telling him so.
This is true of the very initial versions of C. My understanding is that it wasn’t really popular until the C compiler was freely given out to universities and later the world. Also, the book (The C Programming Language), effectively an easy-to-read language specification, contributed heavily to independent implementations, as the language filled a hitherto unfilled niche.

Of course you can do that in Golang. You don't need inheritance. It has composition with type embedding. You can even "override" methods.

>imagine yourself building UI component without classes or inheritance

I see no problem at all. UI development in my opinion becomes much more elegant, concise and easy to follow/reason about in a functional language that does not implement classes or inheritance. As you said, Go has struct inheritance and interfaces, that's how you do things in Go and every Go developer is familiar with the concept, it's clean and elegant. I honestly see no problem whatsoever.

It's similar to the Google China situation back in the day, except Spain won't block access to foreign versions of Google News.

Effectively, no Spanish-Spain news in Google news. I wonder if other Spanish-speaking versions of Google News will still link to major Spanish newspapers that are also popular in South America. I'd expect so. Many Spanish sources will actively try to get into Google News from other countries so they can bypass this levy and prevent the loss of traffic/relevance somewhat.

Hey Jed,

this is really AWESOME and finally shows what is possible with the power of nowadays browser rendering engines paired with a good JS lib (React is my favorite js lib).

I like very much the butter smooth transitions on any phone and it's nice that you spent so much attention in getting this thing so responsive, well done man.

When will this thing be live, having more documentation and can I play already around with the stuff on Github?

Thanks!
So now, to you, 3.5% is "Most of the wasted money"... 3.5% is no economic pressure compared to the cost of running oversized Government structures. Back in the 80's when cost of capital for these Governments was in the 10%-15% no one really complained.

Can you cite the source where "countries ignored the deficit limits to increase investment" and "while the smaller countries are forced into signing treaties that forbid public investment". I'm fascinated by this opinion, a source would be useful, and the name and date of the agreement too.

Again, can you provide a source for the use of capital injections as you seem to know "The amount of money in low risk investments and deposits it's a small fraction of the bailout". How small is that fraction, where can I see that split?

I've got a sense that you are quoting political propaganda, but no hard evidence. But if you want to argue with no substance, and say that 2+2=78, I'm not here to for that.
The main media in Spain will start hosting sites abroad to bypass this law. This law is basically a way to hinder smaller media more than collecting money from Google, and in this respect I guess it will work.

Embedded types are king.
I had just looked those up actually. The last one is the most interesting to me. I don't like the idea of using DFT for a material whose properties are so unknown experimentally. (d, v)-QMC is much better; however, I think metallic hydrogen could possibly be a prime candidate for the new FCIQMC method. Of course, this is my rough assessment over an hour. I haven't actually read the first two papers in detail.
The brevity of the page displaying just the roadmap and live demo is honestly quite refreshing.

It's great to be able to just look at what is there and see where the strengths and weaknesses are (at least with some face value).

Great work on this, I can't wait to see how it matures.
Cool (eh, hot?) and impressive visualization!

Don't know which was first, but it reminded me of the wind map from hint.fm, originating from 2012: http://hint.fm/wind/ . That one presents a nice black/white impression of wind conditions in the USA, whereas this visualization from Cameron displays a broad range of weather conditions around the globe with multiple visualization styles. Impressive what's possible with D3...

Disclosed – Minor Bugs in Keybase.io
I was up all night working on a demo, and had to go home and catch a few hours of sleep before giving the demo in the afternoon. Outside my flat (in Glasgow), they were sawing open the cobblestone street with a loud screeching circular saw, which sounded almost as bad as Sarah Palin's voice (however it wasn't saying anything stupid or nonsensical). It went on and on, and it was very loud, and I could not block it out, so I just let it into my mind, concentrated on it, and relished the sound, and got a wonderful pleasurable tingling sensation, like endorphins being released, which made me feel rested and refreshed without actually sleeping! I guess that qualifies as making lemonade out of lemons. Maybe I should search youtube for a recording of circular sawing cobblestones and see if it still works on me!
StatusPage.io (YC S13) Is Hiring a DevOp and Back Ender
He went to jail for creating a website that enabled people to download music and movies without paying for them. Jail is a harsh punishment IMO for that. ACTA/SOPA etc. are all terrible things that we can't allow and we can't allow the internet to become more centralised/controlled by government. But that's not why he went to jail. Enabling illegal downloads of content has little to do with those causes.
Indeed, though there are reasonable arguments that DFT functionals are ok in high pressure regimes, it's obviously best to use the most physically accurate methods when you're in unknown regimes. It's just going to be ridiculously expensive :)

I'm not an expert in QMC and haven't really kept up with Alavi's FCIQMC, but that'd be the gold standard if you can also afford to include quantum nuclear motion, which seems to be important here.
because GEMA does not find it and block it, YouTube blocks it themselves because they do not have a legal agreement since 2009.

its also false because it has nothing to do with popularity. I've seen very small artists getting blocked here because youtube has data identifying them as a member of any PRO (Performance Rights Organization) that has an agreement with GEMA to get money collected in Germany and then forwarded to the PRO in the home country of the artist.

members of other PROs or anybody that does not sign on to a PRO are unaffected.

I detest GEMA and have protested in the streets against them, but the statement above is false.

He believes that information should be free to share.

And you also argue that basically providing links should be illegal. Since TPB doesn't do any of the copying, it does not host any copyrighted content itself, it's just a central index.
So until the content industry got their way in the courts and laws were altered in various countries this wasn't illegal at all. And he is fighting against the meta-information being outlawed. Pretty much the same deal as illegal primes.
Google is generally useful to the sites they link to. Most sites want a high rank on Google, because that brings them more visitors and more advertiser revenue, and Google offers them that service at no cost.

If they don't want Google to link to them, they can control that through robots.txt.

You may remember a recent German law that allowed German news sites to charge money for this, and Google removed links to news sites that didn't want to be listed for free. Pretty soon, all sites allowed Google to link to them again, because the loss of traffic hurt them.

Basically this amounts to the question: should search engines and aggregators be allowed to exist at all? Should we go back to the pre search engine days when you could only find new sites when someone discussed it on usenet, or through web rings (a network of sites about a similar subject where each links to the next one)?
What makes you think those causes are the ones he's talking about? There are more causes to promote besides the ones you like.
> but that'd be the gold standard if you can also afford to include quantum nuclear motion

Yeah, which I haven't seen for FCIQMC. (Alavi's group really seems to be the only ones actually using the method so far. I imagine it's still too new for someone else to want to code up unless he distributes the code.)

Also, I was perusing your post history (hope you don't mind), and noticed you do DFT calculations. You probably know much more about that than me; I'm primarily MD but keep up with the quantum chemical methods more as a side research project.

What are your thoughts using DFT for metallic hydrogen? Is there an exchange-correlation functional that could be good enough?

The first case, that of overriding a function in another package, is really easy:

CL-USER> (defpackage #:foo (:use #:cl))
#<PACKAGE "FOO">
CL-USER> (in-package #:foo)
#<PACKAGE "FOO">
FOO> (defun func () 1)
FUNC
FOO> (export 'func)
T
FOO> (defpackage #:bar (:use #:cl #:foo))
#<PACKAGE "BAR">
FOO> (in-package #:bar)
#<PACKAGE "BAR">
BAR> (func)
1
BAR> (defpackage #:baz (:use #:cl))
#<PACKAGE "BAZ">
BAR> (foo:func)
1
BAR> (defun foo:func () 2)
STYLE-WARNING: redefining FOO:FUNC in DEFUN
FUNC
BAR> (func)
2
BAR> (in-package #:bar)
#<PACKAGE "BAR">
BAR> (func)
2
BAR> (in-package #:foo)
#<PACKAGE "FOO">
FOO> (func)
2

Notice how package FOO defined a function FUNC, which package BAR used without the package prefix (because it :USEs FOO), while package BAZ DEFUNed FOO:FUNC, redefining it everywhere.

> Are you saying that if a package A has a symbol Foo, and another package B has a symbol Foo, how would I override only package B's?

Easily: A:FOO and B:FOO are completely different symbols (unless B imports A or vice-versa). Setting `(symbol-value a:foo)` has no effect at all on `(symbol-value b:foo)`. If package C imports package A, then C:FOO and A:FOO are the same symbol.

If C needs to import both A, but wants to use its own FOO, then it can shadow FOO, which means it would import all the exported symbols of A, except for FOO. IF C wanted to import both A and B, then a correctable error would be signaled; in a typical implementation the corrections would include: using A:FOO in preference to B:FOO; using B:FOO in preference to A:FOO; and aborting the attempt.

The only thing not portably possible to my knowledge is to rename a symbol in an importing package, e.g. making C:FOO2 be an alias for A:FOO. If one thinks about what a symbol is, that makes sense. What would `(symbol-name c:foo2)` be in that case?

All this, BTW, is why I am so keen on Common Lisp as opposed to Scheme: it really is an industrial-strength Lisp. They standardized a lot of stuff twenty years (and three days!) ago, after a lot of thought. Yeah, there's some compatibility cruft, but it's generally not a big deal (and can mostly be hidden, if one wanted to create a MODERN-LISP package).
I mean no offense, but it is a very futile and somewhat worthless effort to insult a genre of music and to some extent those who listen to it on a site like Hacker News. I would also encourage you to branch out and listen to different kinds of hip hop, for hip hop like any genre is very diverse (some songs don't event have "mindless unintelligible lyrics"). No harsh feelings but stay classy ;)
