You can, but I didn't want to introduce any extra constructs from the original example. And this is a bit of a weird case, at least where I am. I tend to have a bunch of things to process and have one goroutine sending keys/indice

Yeah, go's a little boilerplatey, but you have to option to run two sync things concurrently as well with something like: type result[T any] struct { el T err error } chanA := make(chan result[aResultType]

The numbers don't line up for that. The sum total of the wealth of all the billionaires in the US in 2021 was ~$4.1 Trillion [0]. That's about the same as the government budget in a normal year pre-pandemic, or about 2/3 of t

If you're going to do that, you're going to need to get universities to treat computers as an actual applied discipline. Physical engineers at least get some practice working with numbers around real materials. I've met too m

Most people actually don't like firing people. Management, as weird as it may seem, actually is made up of people. That's why layoffs don't happen until the market starts to get tight, but yeah, when the market's tight.

The easy solution seems to be to only let a work retain copyright so long as it's obtainable from the holder of the copyright.

On one hand, this is fair. On the other hand, when 19% of high school graduates are functionally illiterate, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that the system is obviously not doing what it says it is.

I'll admit to not being super great at getting down into the nitty gritty with internals of compilers. Are you talking about some sort of IR? Because if we're talking about the output, mutation definitely happens. Checking on godb

Correct. In type theory, a type that is a subtype of all other types is called a bottom type: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type

Fair, but those are kind of off in their own in the java hierarchy as is.

There's no reason that something can't both an object and the bottom of the type hierarchy. It's, technically, an instance of multiple inheritance. Java doesn't generally allow this, but there's tons of special case
