Mostly misuse. The studies are all nonsense AFAIK, they rely on the participants to use the condoms correctly, which predictably doesn't happen. Problems the studies mention, like slippage and breakage are the result of misuse, probabl

What a shallow, negative post. Can't believe you're implying that there's no outsized hype about AI. At least bring some arguments forth instead of asking silly hypothetical questions. > Would not the author have claimed a

You're hand-waving the insane amount of effort that would be required to type every bit of Python code that gets executed. You get that by default in statically typed languages. Even then, you're reliant on the correctness of a 3r

You're comparing a city with a country. Yes, you generally speaking shouldn't need a car if you live in a city.

Yep, people use their cars for 50 miles/day for commuting and such, but when buying an EV they think of the 4 long trips they make a year.

Your post is pure hot air. It would be helpful if you could provide concrete examples of aspects of Go that you consider badly designed and why.

Function arguments do not color functions. If you'd like to call a function that takes a Context argument without it, just pass in a context.Background(). It's a non-issue. Full rebuttal by jerf here: https://news.ycomb

Your "point" doesn't exist. You're essentially attempting to equate the transit situation in the US with the Netherlands, which is plain ridiculous.

Those "other issues" are all worse with private cars than without.

So the state of public transportation in your area is bad enough you have to own a car. Being forced to own one is freedom, and so is needing a government-issued driver's license and a license plate.

A really light car would either have to be limited to a very low speed or be terribly unsafe in case of a crash. Since lightness implies small size, it would also not have other desirable properties of cars, like their ability to carry pass

I feel kinda bad already for engaging further, because you sound slightly mentally off overall and stuff like "I personally leapt out in front of a Waymo going 35mph once, just to see if it would dodge me (it did but I was crazy).&quot

It is not right for you to choose to operate a deadly vehicle and then offload the dangers of that choice onto innocent bystanders. No pedestrian has forced you to drive a dangerous car around. Therefore, yes, it is the responsibility of th

I just expect better from professional language designers. To me, the blindingly obvious follow up to the thought "We understand that people familiar with other languages would like to see string interpolation in Go." [1] is to re

The Python version is straightforward to read and understand to a programmer of any language. The Ruby version is an idiosyncratic symbol soup. If I were tasked to modify the Python version to say, handle the case where `item` is an int, it

Sure, here are the two Go/C-style formatting options: fmt.Sprintf("This house is %s tall", measurements(2.5)) fmt.Sprint("This house is ", measurements(2.5), " tall") And the Python f-string

It's fascinating how differently languages approach the string formatting design space. - Java's been trying to add f/t-strings, but its designers appear to be perfectionists to a fault, unable to accept anything that doesn&#

What an awful quote. Literally all progress we've made is due to ever increasing specialization.

FSD is not able to drive in the same conditions humans are so you're comparing humans driving in challenging conditions to FSD driving in good weather on highways.

Yes, Rust copied all those good ideas from Go, so this is an odd argument to use. I don't know why we're talking about Rust in the first place, but an obvious advantage would be compilation time and iteration speed in general.

Because 99.9% of the time the memory allocation I'm doing is unimportant. I just want some memory to somehow be allocated and cleaned up at some later time and it just does not matter how any of that happens. Reasoning about lifetimes

A language is a shared way to communicate. If you start picking and choosing the parts of a language you like, you can no longer communicate effectively with the rest of its speakers, er, coders. That's why C++ is so badly designed, yo

Oh it has optional parentheses? Into the trash it goes. I'm guessing because "it's cleaner/simpler", but that's a shallow understanding of those words. Just because there are two characters fewer on the screen

Could not disagree more. Everything that affects your use of a language is that language - the standard library, the ecosystem, the community, the documentation, the tooling, every single thing. The standard library is special. It sets

Shades of grey fallacy. You have way more context clues about the information on the internet than you do with an LLM. In fact, with an LLM you have zero(-ish?). I can peruse your previous posts to see how truthful you are, I can tell if yo
