> Go is also well-researched language

Concurrency in Go certainly is, the rest is not, definitely.

> its syntactic clumsiness and shortcomings (hipsters are blogging about) came from being statically typed, just admit it

That's the kind of dismissive and arrogant attitude I often hear from gophers. Doesn't make me want to be part of that community.

Have a look at the Cyclone language. It has generics,tagged unions and pattern matching AND it is statically typed.

https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/wiki/User%20Manual/

Saying that statically typed languages cannot be expressive is pure FUD. Go designers just didn't strike the right balance between features and minimalism, because they didn't care. Without its concurrency model, Go is not much.

>I'd never even heard of "boys like distortion" as a gender norm; is that a thing?

It obviously IS a thing. Check out the predominantly buyers of distortion pedals, or the near absolute majority of workshippers of "shredding" guitarists and heavy players. Also check any magazine about those kind of things, incudings any advertisments of heavy guitar gear, amps and distortion pedals. You will of course find 2-3 counter-examples. You'd be hard-pressed to find 10, much less 50.
This is an important point that often seems lost when abstracting out concepts like "power" and "control."

There is some theoretical sense in which a user of free software has a lot of control, including the power to change it. Software being free can have a lot of indirect benefits to the user, but ultimately practical "power" is a function of what you can practically do with it, and that is very different from what the thing can theoretically do.

Apple probably has motives for the app store other than making user experiences simple. But, they also really have the goal (and the effect) of making the user experience easier, which puts more real power into real hands. If the below median user can install a photo sharing app to see her nieces photo collage, that's real power in users hands.

Also, I think being strict and abstract about "exclusively to advance the interests of its owner" is losing a lot of important texture. First, very few technological benefits go exclusively to anyone. They go to users, vendors, various other users and vendors. A lot of them get released into the ether as externality vapors, like productivity or ideas for new technology.

The reality of the current state of computing is interesting, but it's very hairy and hard to grasp and boil down to simple abstractions. When we use our phones, we are interacting with other people, generating data/content on other people's phones, in various databases to the benefit of a bunch of people/companies. When you are using your navigation app, generating data about traffic, you are benefiting the app, other osiers. Possibly future users. Possibly that data will be sued in other ways. Maybe a construction company will buys it to plan new roads (and win a contract) which will benefit the city… Maybe someone's girlfriend will one day have it beamed to her implant to estimate when Brian will arrive.

Is this bad because it's not to the exclusive benefit of the user? The benefit to the user would not even be possible with this mesh of stuff.

It pays eternal homage to a toy-repository by phk in which that commit message occurs. I found it more fun than `git yolo`. And easier to type as well.

The other reason I have it is that when you are first building up a piece of software, you may want to snapshot it now and then, but you don't care too much for the archeology because things are still not working. Once you reach something which seems to work, you squash everything down and cut your first release with a meaningful commit.
Well, commit logs could be good complement to developer documentation, if done properly. e.g. "See <some hash range> to see how to add a new protocol to Spyne!" "See <some hash range> to see how a new statement could be added to CPython!."

But, yes, if you care this much about commit format, put structured data in commit logs using yaml or something and be done with it :)

> Denmark is pretty much as heterogeneously a society

I think you mean homogeneous.
What about the results of the two party system make you think it hinders democracy? Bearing in mind that the average voter is basically my mom?

We have pretty much exactly the government my mom wants. Harsh drug laws, extreme jail sentences, generous social security, lots of regulatory protections, etc. Probably the only light between her and Obama is she dislikes his foreign policy (she's from a Muslim country, which makes her exceptional there) and dislikes the trend towards legalized gay marriage and weed (positions well represented by the republicans, who she sometimes wants to vote for). Her biggest disagreements are with laws that derive from Supreme Court dictates (e.g. free speech protections).

These positions derive from an coherent worldview--one that has a low opinion of individual humans and values authority and the idea that people need to be told what to do for society to function smoothly (a common viewpoint not just here but across Asia).

So again, what about democracy in the U.S. isn't working? We have pretty much exactly the kind of government you'd expect given the views of our voters.

If you understand one or two things about type theory then you know that generics cannot be added to GO. Go designers know it. They cannot add generics without breaking the language and they will not break the language.

When you have at least 3 core designers of that language saying on record that the language won't have new features, then you know what is written in that Faq ain't going to happen.

So let's not mislead people interested in Go into thinking that it will get generics, it will never have generics.

I'm somewhat skeptical of the quoted assertion as well as I think it's overly generalised, but e.g from the source you give, from part 5:

"When the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the Fifth Century the effect on material culture and technology in Europe was devastating. Without the Empire to fund major engineering projects and large scale infrastructure, many of the skills and techniques involved in monumental buildings and complex technologies were forgotten and lost. The break down of long distance trade meant people became increasingly self-sufficient and produced what they needed locally."

I know this had positive side effects, I did read the article (thanks, great read) but the collapse of the western empire was no picnic. But now we're having a reasoned discussion, whereas 'citation required' is a conversational brick wall.

Are you serious?

That HardOCP article (and HarcOCP are not really known for their quality articles anyway) is testing for framerate imrpovements.

An SSD will not improve your framerate much at all (That's not what you use an SSD for).

You cited main loading times like loading a game and loading a save, which are enough reason themselves to want an SSD in there. Some games are painfully long in these areas (take any Total War game as an example) and an SSD will help.

I gave Fallout 3 and Skyrim as an example of texture loading where an SSD would matter. You claimed it didn't, as this is contrary to all avaialble information.

These games (like many open world games) stutter when new cells/areas are loaded (I'm not talking about regular texture streaming). Again, this is where SSD's will make a difference.

An SSD becomes even more useful when you start installing high-resolution texture mods to games like these. My own Skyrim installation uses nearly 4Gb of video memory when wandering around the wilderness. That would cause some pretty heavy thrashing on an HDD.

There is nothing about SSD's being used to store games that is a 'waste' if those things are important to you.

I have two SSD's in my personal machine, one 128Gb for the OS and one 500Gb for Steam and some games. They didn't cost me much, so why wouldn't I do it? There is literally no reason for me to not do this in a high-end system meant for playing games.

Other games will go on my regular HDD's because you are right at least in saying that not all games will benefit from it, but some will.
It seems obvious that inside any given organisation, it makes sense to have a convention regarding the form of commit messages, so you know how to look for certain things.

The Myth of Universal Beauty
I have a 500gb SSD which cost ~200$. Sure 5 years ago I would agreed with you, but now days it's really not that expencive and in game load times feel much longer. IMO, Skyrim is load happy, sure the open world is fine, but go to town, get into your house, get out of your house get out of ton is 4 load screens in ~1Min of gameplay.

For some reason the fact that "feature" is abbreviated to "feat" while "refactor" which is actually longer than "feature" is left alone irritates me - which, of course, doesn't mean anything other than to demonstrate how silly this kind of argument can be!
LeSS – scaled agile that keeps the small team vibe
In my case, I only had to use a predetermined stylesheet for the title page.

I've heard of one university (there must be others) where there's a thick compendium that specifies exactly which font to use where on each page, what spacings and margins to use, how to format the table of contents, etc. Not actually a LaTeX stylesheet you can use, but a list of rules that you manually have to make sure your thesis conforms with. Of course, the rules were written with MS Word in mind, but math/CS/science people who need to use LaTeX have to replicate the rules in detail. Of course, there's a person employed by the university to check that your submitted thesis exactly conforms with the rules, or else it will be rejected.

The person who told me this might have embellished the story, but sadly it sounds all too plausible to me.

> Now a developer who is working on a new feature is reluctant to take opportunities to refactor incase their commit message doesn't match the "standard".

Having maintained a few projects on Github, I routinely reject commits that both introduce new features and fix/refactor things. Refactoring is good, but jumping on a project and changing everything at once is a strong indicator of a lack of focus. The "fix some of everything" commits usually lack tests and documentation updates which wouldn't have been overlooked if the contributor took a step away and looked at the big picture.

I agree. Sounds like the team is already Agile. If the boss wants to be agile too, that's great! Management buy-in is very important for Agile to work. They need to understand and accept that the dev team is ultimately in control of the way they work, and the business side needs to provide the things the dev team needs to do their work.

The rim of your bowl is the edge: it's a point where the curvature changes suddenly. But that's not the important thing: the important thing is that not only is there only no edge, but only one surface.

Let's talk topology for a bit.

A manifold can be thought of as essentially a flat and infinitely thin sheet. If you have a spherical manifold (and your bowl would be a spherical manifold), it has two surfaces: one on the inside and another on the outside. Deforming the manifold doesn't change this.

The thing about a Klein bottle (and a Moebius strip) is that it only has one continuous surface, the difference between a Moebius strip and a Klein bottle is that the latter is a single surface with no edge whereas the former is a single surface with one edge, unlike the sphere (or your bowl), which has two surfaces and no edge.

So what's important here is the number of sides it has, not really that it has no edge. The lack of an edge is really only what separates a Moebius strip from Klein bottle.

Prosecutors should be focused on justice. They should not evaluate themselves, or be evaluated on, the narrow metric of conviction rates. Sometimes doing their job properly should mean being allowed to change their minds, to admit that maybe they're prosecuting the wrong person, or to conceive that the interests of justice are best served by a lighter or suspended sentence. And this is how it works in most of Europe; magistrates are entirely independent, and not beholden to political pressures or to the court of public opinion.

Noooooo. Mobile bandwidth is far more constrained that mobile CPU power. Furthermore, radios are the most power hungry components after the screen, another reason to try to avoid them. Data connections are not truly ubiquitous either, so what do you do when you don't have a connection? Lastly, from a data security point of view, if you don't want to hand all of your unencrypted data to a 3rd party, you would have to host the server yourself (in this model the server needs to be able to manipulate your data, which means that it must be able to decrypt any encryption you had on the data connection itself).

So no, I don't see that as ever being a desirable model for mobile computing. Maybe for some specialised tasks, but for general pocket computing, the power is better placed locally, not remotely.
Really? Set the country back to the 1960s? You also actually think Bush is going to be the nominee? You don't seem to know much about Republicans if you think that. As far as the 1960s goes, the economic picture was much better then than it has been over the past 8 years. The JFK tax cuts caused a decade of prosperity; the middle class was much stronger, wage growth was steady. What we have now is a generalized malaise. If you're suggesting some kind of war on women malarcky, ask yourself why in Hilary's State Department and in Obama's White House do women still make 70% of what men make? These anti-republican memes are getting a bit stupid. Remember Hilary supported the Iraq War, the Libyan War (which did not even get Congressional approval as was required under the War Powers Act.) Hilary also strongly supports and supported the Patriot Act and warrantless NSA surveillance of Americans. Her only accomplishments as Secretary of State were aggrevation of Russian relations, the loss of American allies Libya and Egypt to Muslim extremists, more nonsense in Syria as well as facilitating the failure of Iran's Green Revoluion. She and Obama also a let the Pakistani doctor who provided the Bin Laden tip to be captured, imprissoned and tortured by the Pakistanis as a reward for his helping the U.S. She also racked up a lot of frequent flyer miles. The woman has zero accomplishments, either for woman or anyone else. She has never worked as a chief executive of anything, she has barely ever had a real job; she's a lifetime political hack and the U.S. is worse for having her in the national dialog. Remember it was Rand Paul that fought the NSA and Rand Paul that has promoted the end of civil asset forfeiture and he has also called for the ending of racist sentencing guidelines as wel as decriminalization of drugs. Hilary represents a totalitarian Democrat plantation owner. She's a horrible choice for the school board, let alone President of the United States. She's an evil snake and anyone who supports her is either mentally ill or profoundly ignorant or just brainwashed. If she cared about women she wouldn't have defended a child rapist. She also wouldn't have defended Bill Clinton amongst multiple credible allegations of rape, harassment and other misconduct. She also would have declared Boko Haram a terror group when she had the chance. I could go on for days; the point is that Hilary Clinton deserves to be in jail or scrubbing toilets in Siberia. I didn't even touch upon the Clinton Foundation "donations" from foreign governments while she was Secratary of State. Or the email servers. Or the utter lack of transparency she has demonstrated over her long illustrious career as a leech suckling upon the blood of the American people. I'd vote for Sheila Jackson Lee or even Michael Jackson before I'd vote for Hilary.
