Go and Rust competes in the narrow space of, "what's The Next Interesting Thing to learn?"

In that narrow sense, it doesn't matter that the underlying semantics and runtimes of Go and Rust are targeted for different use cases. They get lumped together in the same conversation because people have a vague sense that something... (newer programming language, newer database engine, newer CSS templating, etc)... will make their project better. In that nebulous cloud of possible future benefits, it's understandable for people to mention both in the same conversation. However once people get past the unspecified idea of "better" and actually analyze (i.e. write concrete programs) the real costs & benefits, the differences of Go & Rust will reveal themselves. People will realize that Go is inappropriate to write a 60 fps graphics rendering engine and likewise, Rust is inappropriate to write quick scripts for Google-scale cloud orchestrations.

One other reason that Go is mentioned along with Rust is that Google used the adjective "systems" to describe it. "Go is intended as a systems language". Unfortunately, a lot of folks didn't realize that Google was using an idiosyncratic definition of "systems" to mean a programming language to help the management of their datacenters. To others, "systems language" means writing operating systems, device drivers, embedded chips, etc. There was a nuance that got lost and it ended up muddying the discussion. The phrases, "Go is a systems language", and "Rust is a systems language" look the same but they mean different things.

You realize that basic income will just become another campaign promise to secure votes, right? Couple that with "I can barely live on my basic income!" sob stories and we'll quickly find that basic income won't be so "basic" given enough time.
I find this interesting in the context of Google and Apple, and a post I read recently discussing how many former Google employees go on to found their own start ups, but relatively few former Apple employees do so. Ironically, Apple is laser focused on a few highly successful products and has a highly disciplined brand, while Google launches new products every few weeks and kills most of them off when they don't gain any traction. The latter fits the bill of Tan's description of corporatism here, but Google's company alums have started more start ups post Google. I wonder if Google alum founders leave because of the corporatism environment, and are a better fit for the environment of founding a start up, while Apple employees who would be good founders stay at Apple because the environment is more conducive to what founders desire?

That's irritating to read because when basic income is being discussed it's always about people taking advantage of it for not working when in the real world it's more likely the bosses and the people in power who will take advantage of it (and they will, a relative of mine lost his job at 50 because a govt sponsored win-win program targeting the youth: hire a young gun and the govt will pay a part of his salary. Now they had to pay my relative a hefy sum of money in social benefits. He luckily found a better job later and his old company is now playing carousel with young guns and getting less done of course.)
>I don't think anyone has ever said "native GUI" in the last 20 years. It's pretty nonsensical if you actually break down that passage to it's core components because it doesn't actually describe what specifically is "native"

They have, and they have said it exactly as the parent mentions.

See for example complaints about webkit based apps not looking and behaving native on iOS, and similar complaints for all kinds of desktop apps using some third party toolkit: from Eclipse and Firefox to Opera (when it used to do that) and GIMP on OS X, anything Swing.

>it doesn't actually describe what specifically is "native"

It's pretty much agreed what's native is the specific, OS-based (or user-chosen-toolkit-based on Linux) implementation of widgets and controls, as it pertains to both look and feel.

There are even whole terms often associated with such complaints, such as "uncanny valley" etc.

>So would that mean there's no native Linux GUI's because Linus Torvalds hasn't written any Linux widget libraries?

No, for a Gnome user, non native is anything non Gnome (GTK). For a KDE user anything non KDE. But the analogy is not perfect, because Linux doesn't come with a pre-built specific GUI lib for all users, so users are accustomed to a hodgepodge of varying behaving and looking apps to serve all their needs anyway, with some sugar of cooperation for things like drag and drop on top.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with this part. If I say, "John's website is at this address," John doesn't get to say "HEY! I get to decide who links to me," because copyright isn't for facts, it's for content. That's why I disagree so vehemently with the PadMapper decision: All they were saying was "There's a CL post for this address." That's not content, and it's certainly not enough content to replace the functionality CL sued over.

Tell me where to start.
I would say that's just a careless joke.

The real issue is that for small caps, startups, tech, solar etc. stock markets are basically casinos. Any little murmur or rumor is an excuse to dump the price 20% in a day and then after everybody is scared shitless buy the thing back.

I used to day trade quite a bit and I can assure you that the majority of the people trading these companies don't know or care what the business is. These days many of them are robots.

So if you are trying to build a business then you want calmer long term hands to prevail, not traders.

Overloading whitespace is fine for machines, but it doesn't improve human readability. In The days when memory and storage were small and runtime compression would crush throughput saving a byte here or there made sense in the mainstream. But these days? The critical reasons to use text tend to be either hitting an existing interface or human readability, and with 1GB of RAM about the price of a Happy Meal, the risks of invisible textual complexity probably outweigh any benefit.

Good morning. For streaming, I mostly use Netflix. When a selection is not available I look at other services starting with Amazon Prime. This can take a long time and not arrive at the best choice (e.g. i found it for sale on Prime but it was free on Hulu).
I'm looking for a service or a way that shows content and details (e.g. is it free with my membership?) across different providers, even those that i don't subscribe (e.g. Hulu). Is something like this available? If not, any suggestions (e.g. consolidate each providers api in one interface)?

That's exactly what would happen. Many people would transition to part-time jobs to spend time with their families/friends/volunteer or civic organizations they are already involved in.

You can see it when an 'Average Joe' gets a windfall. Anecdotal evidence is all I have, but having observed several people inherit money from older relatives who have passed, the general first focus is on creating free time to spend with family and friends. Then they focus on those organizations they are already involved in. Then they focus on fun nonsense like large TV's and dumb cars.

I am surprised that no one has commented on vertical languages. I am learning Japanese and I can see how this would be really useful in any vertical writing languages.
Basic math:

£240 billion / 64.1 million people in the UK = £3,744/year (assuming no government overhead).

Seems low. That works out to be £312/mo/person. That certainly wouldn't seem to replace many costs (especially pensions and the like).

Let's say you wanted it to be £500/mo/person. That'd run you £384.6 billion/year. Add in, say, 5% overhead and you're at £403 billion/year. Where does that money come from? If you stick with the idea that the income is universal, you're dishing out £6,000/person/year, waiting a year, then taking it right back via taxes. Which seems incredibly wasteful, and might drive up that 5% overhead number.

I currently work on an iSeries, while there is some vendor lock we have run unix programs through PASE, we run a full suite of web enabled applications some of which reuse code that has been around forever. Even RPG has gone modern with fully free form code, procedures, embedded sql, and with ILE the ability to be bound with modules written in any other supported language.

The deployed base is very large and across a great many industries because of resilience, ease of programming, minimal support staff required, and simply because with most big systems it just works. Its not flawless but db2 is far easier to manage than oracle and the iSeries we have operate with much smaller staffs than the AIX/Oracle setups.

Overall the biggest failing is IBM's lack of direction. They tend to push systems which generate the biggest kickback and such, usually meaning their AIX fare.

No matter how many times efforts were put in place to move off the i or even z it just came down to, it works, its modern, and for businesses having something you know is many times better than going with the newest thing.

One thing to point out specifically about "proper" Makefiles: the author should be marking his `.PHONY` targets (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Phony-Tar...) and giving sources. This gives you incremental builds for free.

One of my Makefiles:

Definitely open to feedback on the above. Seems like my Makefile doing pretty much the same thing as yours @rcarmo.
The goal is to maximize the predicted expected value of the stock price, based on all possible sources of value captured by the company, over an effectively infinite time horizon. Absolutely nothing else takes priority over that, except a few risk controls.

The word "need" should never be said in this context. Maximizing expected value of the stock price through whatever means necessary is all that matters in this context.

There is no requirement to meet profitability within a human lifetime. The timescale is effectively infinite, in many cases, and particularly the highest value cases that professional investors focus on. See Amazon, see NYC apartment rental costs versus purchase costs, etc.

What's the simple formula for valuing a company? Nonsense, no simple formula should ever exist, if the markets are functioning properly.

Hi,

Not really. That's why we love so much uwsgi. All you have to do is to add a new config file for your zerg server, and you are done. This is handled without problems by supervisor and we've never experienced an issue with it.

No, they meant Go was intended as a systems language. Rob Pike:

http://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2012/06/less-is-exponentia...

> I was asked a few weeks ago, "What was the biggest surprise you encountered rolling out Go?" I knew the answer instantly: Although we expected C++ programmers to see Go as an alternative, instead most Go programmers come from languages like Python and Ruby. Very few come from C++.

> We—Ken, Robert and myself—were C++ programmers when we designed a new language to solve the problems that we thought needed to be solved for the kind of software we wrote. It seems almost paradoxical that other C++ programmers don't seem to care.

Read the whole thing if you have time - Pike talks about how they were trying to write a language that filled a role similar to C and C++. So they came up with a compiled, statically typed language.
> Go competes for mindshare [with those who] have lost patience with the high deployment costs of JVM based languages

This is repeated so often, but I genuinely don't understand the underlying point. At Snowplow we have to deploy Scala, Java, JRuby and Go, amongst other things.

Scala/Java: build a fatjar containing all dependencies using sbt-assembly, upload to Bintray and then deploy onto servers which have a recent JVM.

JRuby: build a fatjar containing all dependencies using warble, upload to Bintray and then deploy onto servers which have a recent JVM.

Go: build a binary containing all dependencies with godep for each relevant server architecture, upload to Bintray and then deploy onto servers.

Yes, Go doesn't need a JVM installed, but on the flipside I have to build a version for each relevant server architecture. And then there's the software where I have to export GOMAXPROCS=`nproc` in a wrapper script...

IIRC the previous article I read on this, the Dutch are at least attempting to set up a control group.
it is quite funny and sad how many comments focus on how this system can be abused (and implicitly why it is inefficient). I think this is a bias from our programming/hacker culture where things (aka programs) tend to work with absolute. My experience in economic policy has more to do with relatives ( a trend vs another one, the percentage of free rider vs the gain for the whole population ) and tuning ( adding counter-balance and conditions as we get feedback from the terrain ).
