I don't understand your logic - just because different languages have some differences in how generic compile-time type-safe code is written, Go should NOT have this at all? And the only reason is that some subgroup might not be fully pleased?

I'm a C++ engineer more than a decade now.. And I'll be more than happy if Go had ANY kind of generics - even Ada-like, with explicit instantiation... Anything is better than current interface{} run-time checked stuff.

Reading this on the heels of talking with a colleague about (relatively near) future of TV advertising when marketers will know how many people are in the room (and possibly who these people are) and can deliver hyper-targetted ads, my initial reaction was "oh, crap... my couch will now know I'm sitting on it, for how long, etc... my t-shirt will know the last time I wore it and where..."

This future is inevitable and all the AMAZING use cases such advances bring, but I can't help but wonder how we can keep these operating for the "good" and not the "ugly" of tech and monetization.
"So it really does matter what your take is on the validity of the claims that were made"

I told you. "Not even wrong." It's a liberal's view on the conservative position; even if not literally "wrong", it's from a position of what is still deep incomprehension of what is being summarized.

If you are serious about digging into the differences, the best thing I can recommend is actually this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI1wQswRVaU

It will not be immediately obvious why I am recommending this; stick with it for a while, if you are serious about the question. (Also, every immediate conclusion you will leap to about the title is wrong; in particular, despite the title, I'm not calling any political orientation "irrational", or, at least, I am doing so equally. Nor is this a "conservative" speaking.) After the end, consider the differing perspectives between the two, and consider why I'd contend that either side describing the beliefs of the other is likely to end up "not even wrong". (It is fully symmetric; conservatives will also badly mischaracterize liberal beliefs, in general, even when the surface content is correct.)

Alternatively, don't try and be a "fullstack" dev (at least right off the bat), and you only need to know Python, git, and Django/Flask.

In my opinion, places demanding "fullstack" devs are going to overwork you because they're too cheap or too small to hire real DBAs and front-end devs.

Another company offering SaaS products is not a plus by itself either.

Either way when running a business you need to consider what kind of infrastructure you're investing in.
/r/ukpolitics and /r/unitedkingdom have essentially split into right/left focused subs. /r/unitedkingdom isn't really intended to be a political sub but in practice it 80% is and is largely on the left. /r/ukpolitics is explicitly political and tends to lean towards the right although you'll certainly find left wing discussion there it'll just tend to be drowned out somewhat.

> What would it take to convince me?

Source code in all cases would be a good start. Earning a good reputation over time would be the real way. The fact that it is harder for Google to regain reputation is their problem, not mine.

> Proof

Gmail. google-analytics. Chromebook, Android and everything else Google has that specifically designed to send all your data to google under the guise of "cloud storage" and "single sign-on". I doubt you have somenow missed the last few years of drama over how much data Google collects.

If you mean emulating the Tap behavior, that was clearly somethging I claimed they would eventually do. You seem to think this behavior will continue into the future, contrary to everything else Google does.

> There is literally nothing anyone could say to convince you.

Projection and/or lies. See above.

Using someone's record as a heuristic about their future behavior isn't based on reason? Do you also get angry with people who stop going to a particular store after being ripped off or sold a lemon?

So a really interesting question would be: can a candidate who is unafraid to answer questions honestly compete well against a field of candidates who try to only tell people what they want to hear? Is it possible to change the game such that not alienating anyone is less of a priority?

EDIT: Thinking about this more, it may be important that we play multiple iterations of this game. During primaries, candidates are much less concerned about alienating voters from the other party, and are much more concerned about straying from the positions mandated by their party base. In the general election, they often have the opposite incentive.

If we only had one round of campaigning, it could be much easier for candidates to delineate their true beliefs, though whatever voting system was used would still be vulnerable to some form of strategy.

I've built many Rails+Devise+Stripe websites, but I can't think of any reason for Devise and Stripe to be tightly coupled. If you follow a good Rails+Devise guide and you follow a good Rails+Stripe guide, you should be fine I think. Why does your app have a special relationship between Devise and Stripe? That said I'm sure many developers would appreciate any guidance you'd like to offer!
OP was saying (roughly) that the file attributes were used by, for example, DEFRAG.EXE to avoid having files like MSDOS.sys re-arranged ("defragmented") on disk because they need to be in certain locations the bootloader expects.

That's fully compatible with what you're saying. Yes, you need those flags to keep boot-up working properly and, yes, the bootloader ignores the flags.
Koreans manage to avoid that via Hangul, at least. I understand that they once had a written language based on Chinese characters, though.
It's the same old problem of trying to build a peer-to-peer social network. How do you ensure that large files are distributed correctly and quickly with minimal security implications in an environment where nodes are constantly joining and leaving the network? Perhaps it's possible, but if it were an easy way of doing it, there would be more of that sort of thing around.

First time commenting on hacker news: Just wanted to say there's a difference between enjoying a treat you've worked for, and saving for retirement. When you have no clue how long you might live and how expensive your taxes, insurance, mortgage, medical bills, etc might cost in the future, it breeds the mindset of 'save as much as possible as quickly as possible so I can feel safe and relaxed about my future.'
Watching this last night made me feel old. I just don't get it. The ridiculousness and therefore the comedy seems to exist for the sake of being ridiculous. It isn't grounded in anything. That makes it lose it appeal very quickly for me. It reminds me of some of the old SNL movies. It takes a premise that was fun, funny, and interesting and stretches it into something that can't sustain itself. Different strokes I guess...
Wouldn't it be the equivalent of creating a BitTorrent client? There are lots of attractive and functional clients for that.
> With all due respect, you appear to have 100% consumed your understanding of the conservative position through liberals describing it to you, and appear to know basically nothing about their actual positions or arguments.

Disagree. I have yet in my life (I'm 32) to see a true conservative exist anymore (fiscally conservative, and libertarian from a social perspective).

> Yes, they have them. If that's a shock to you, or you think that no they don't because hurr hurr they're too dumb, well, that would further prove my point. Yes, they definitely exist.

It's not a shock to me. As a population ages, older Americans will die off and be replaced with a generation with a more liberal social outlook. This isn't opinion. This is fact.

We will always argue over financial issues (do we spend on war? or on social programs at home and abroad?), but those are the only issues we should be debating at a political level.

Another 1-3 years, and same sex marriage is done throughout the US. Another 5-10 years, the decriminalization of recreational drugs. And so progress continues on.
re antivirus. It doesn't work: they dodge it constantly. They can also use it to improve their odds of beating it by tuning the malware against it. Need I say more about why its barely a defense?

Back in 1961, Burroughs designed a mainframe [1] that anticipated all these problems. They tagged their memory with bits to protect pointers or differentiate code vs data. That's two bits per word of data with almost no performance overhead if it's all you use. That system was immune to almost every attack modern malware uses for code injection. It was very successful for a while but the market eventually chose against it in favor of IBM et al's systems that did dumb, fast, data crunching with hardly any security. Market as a whole went that way.

So, the problem is code can be injected, the isolation mechanisms don't work, and the toolsets are insecure by design. Fix these to make security the easy default with attackers working in a straight-jacket. The CHERI [2] team and others are doing exactly that. Investments in such systems will increase their functionality. I've seen architectures that even do it with 2 bits like Burroughs did albeit with a different model. It's compatible with Windows architecture. What's lacking isn't technology or knowhow: it's willingness of industry and FOSS to adopt methods that work instead of mainstream methods that don't. Always been the problem. Putting backward compatibility and no rewrites ahead of everything else is the other huge contributor to insecurity.

I think we will start to see less use of GCs in mobile going forward, especially now that Apple has deprecated GC in favor of automatic reference counting. The issues caused by the interaction between the memory hierarchy and the fragmentation that is naturally introduced by GC are difficult to measure, but nevertheless an important component of performance.
It gets its random data in cleartext from random.org... and either no-one noticed and published that detail, or no-one cared?
A very interesting idea, GitTorrent, but I have one question which comes to me whenever I read about a delta-based distribution scheme: who is going to generate and share all those deltas?

Some Linux distributions have experimented with delta-based package repositories, examples are deltup for Arch Linux and rpm-delta for RPM-based distros. Some of the known issues are:

- choosing the number and spacing between deltas. Fine-grained deltas require more storage space, coarse-grained deltas require more download bandwidth.

- retiring old deltas: periodically deleting all deltas older than a certain version, replacing them with the full package of that version. Again a trade-off between storage space and download bandwidth.

For Git repositories, this would roughly translate to:

- choosing the number, history spacing, and size of the Git packs per repository.

- retiring old Git packs: periodically deleting Git packs older than a particular revision, replacing them with a bare repository at that revision.

I guess the projects that can't be on github won't mind the GUI challenges as long as they have some way to have a central repository without having to maintain a server on their own.
+1. This is why I'm so excited about GC libs in Rust (and am working on a GC myself with @mystor). Rust has a nice undertone about choosing your costs and your guarantees, and if it got a good GC* people would have a really complete ecosystem for memory management.

*so, not the one I'm working on :P

I cannot agree more. The manner in which voting decisions are ostensibly supposed to be made can only be called juvenile.

The questions in play are among the most complex in human history. The stakes are high. All the way high. And still decisions about how to vote are supposed to be determined by bland, simple answers to vague, generalized questions?

No thanks; please just show me the analysis. Show me the graphs. Show me the track record, in writing. I care little for what politicians or their PR wings say to interviewers. I care lots about data.

Aside: it's up to us (techy people), in my opinion, to find a way to jump-start this discourse.

His myopic openly hostile anti-conservative POV in defense of /r/politics. I provided one fact that by no means was intended to be comprehensive, and have since updated it to a far superior one. Rather than discussing the topic, he focused on my character (e.g., "lack of reading comprehension").

How is it irrelevant whether research investments would have more efficiently achieved the war's aims? Why would that not validate the comparison between the supercollider and a war for energy security?
Go tells me that it's likely one self-contained portable executable. While wordpress and other php solutions can require quite a few dependencies. Saying it's 'easy to install' can be misleading. Some peoples definition of easy to install is curl | sudo bash or run this chef cookbook. Which actually tells me that the installation is so complex that it couldn't be done in a typical package manager.
I don't see any bayesian language here. Could you point to some examples?
Is an hour-long video really the only thing you can come up with that's more detailed that "not even wrong"? Couldn't you just summarize things by saying something like "conservatives don't hold those views" or "conservatives do hold those views, but have good reasons/motives x, y, and z"?

Ultimately, the question of which way conservatives will vote on an issue does matter even if you'd prefer to talk about why they'll vote that way.

Maybe min. pay is supposed to be an entry level work. Duration will probably get you either directly hired or later laid off.

If that is the situation, why would you pay more than $15/hr.

Also, I wish there was a context of this "minimum pay" policy.
A big part of the problem is we don't know what we even want from democracy.

eg. Is the idea to select leaders who know better than us, so that policy reflects the views of the public, etc?

I'm pretty sure what actually results is not unlike Douglas Adams feelings on democracy, that we mostly vote for one lizard so another lizard doesn't get elected.

> It's not a shock to me. As a population ages, older Americans will die off and be replaced with a generation with a more liberal social outlook. This isn't opinion. This is fact.

Its a fact that older Americans will die off. Its perhaps a fact that the younger generation right now has a more liberal social outlook. It is an opinion (perhaps justified, to some degree, by reference to historical facts) that as the older Americans dies off and the younger Americans age, the younger Americans will retain the more liberal social outlook, and not also be supplemented by new waves of still-younger Americans with an offsetting, more conservative outlook.
$15/hr may be more than average, but it's still a crappy amount of pay given the cost of living here. I know that working class people live in the area, but a lot of them put up with a lot of conditions that most tech folks wouldn't. Converted garages, having multiple roommates, etc. They may live here, but it is close to bare minimum survival.
(Author here.)

You're right, of course. This is just a first step.

One interesting followup idea might be that the BitTorrent library I'm using, webtorrent, also works in browsers over WebRTC. But I'm not using that because I wouldn't know what to do with a git cloned repo inside of a browser tab. Maybe someone else will though. :)
If you're willing to work for free, it would be great if you could do that for a nonprofit that can't afford to pay or a social good open source project where everyone does it for free.

What's very hard is finding a good fit. There is no equivalent of OKCupid for matching nonprofits and coders. The ones I've found are like dating services that only ask “Do you like girls or boys?” and “How tall are you?”

So I've decide to build it myself. It will be called GitGive. You heard it here first!

It will be the ultimate bootstrap, because the very first nonprofit project on GitGive will be GitGive itself.

I'm going to build it in Python. If you want to help out, let me know!
Your lack of reading comprehension was not a character attack, it's the simple truth of the mistake you made.
From the article: "Cauchy and Lamé hung their proofs on the tacit assumption that complex numbers, like real numbers, can be factored into a unique set of primes. The real number 6, for example, always equals 2 x 3. Aside from reordering the factors (3 x 2), no other product will work. But to Cauchy and Lamé’s embarrassment, their German contemporary Ernst Kummer showed that certain complex numbers can be split into prime factors in more than one way."

Well, there's also 6 = 1.5 x 4, etc. It's just in the context of the whole numbers (i.e., integers) that 6 has specifically the prime factorization 2 x 3. And depending on what your notion of a whole complex number is, they have unique prime factorization as well. For example, the Gaussian integers (complex numbers of the form a + b * i, where a and b are ordinary integers) have unique prime factorization.

The Gaussian integers are the n = 4 case of "Consider the complex numbers generated by adding, subtracting, and multiplying copies of a primitive n-th root of unity"; Lamé's mistake, pointed out and built upon by Kummer, was in assuming that the same property of unique factorization into irreducible elements would continue to hold even if n here was replaced by any prime (this assumption fails for the first time at n = 23).
