There isn't, and of course they will not spell it out. Read Google's policies ( https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US ). Google makes it very clear they collect a tremendous amount of data when the account

Part of the issue is the account is not dead, in the way many people think. Once you are locked out, after a period of time, Google can do what it wants with it. Which may include looking over or extracting any data from it, then selling

Actually, there are opinions that Google exploits locked out accounts, to extract and sell all of its data (to include gov't organizations). It appears while the person still has access to the account, there are limits to how Google c

It's about time to start calling it an addiction. I've seen people that can't walk down a street and look where they are going, because their head is glued to the smartphone. Some people can't even focus on a conversat

The post (from 2021) states it can translate DOOM (the game) from C to V and building it takes around 0.7 seconds. As for V compiling itself, the times that I've read about anytime in the last couple of years, is around 0.3 to 0.4 or s

I'm not understanding this post. "V" didn't make that post on devtalk, it was DevotionGeo. So "V" didn't leave out anything nor are they obligated to post and explain about competing languages.

Not understanding how some detractors are so desperate to attack a competing programming language, that they would take a post from April 2021 (more than 2 years ago), and use it as a pretext to bash it on HN. If a person is that offended o

I think you have to look at the time frame and history of when AutoIt and then AutoHotkey came out. What they were doing on the Windows OS was not so feasible with JavaScript. But AutoHotkey, and AutoIt to a lesser extent, have always use

by Tozen 3y ago
Very good point. Many IT personnel and shops have found AutoHotkey to be way more powerful and flexible, than just plain batch. The GUI programs that could be made, can rival anything made in other languages (on Windows), while increasing

Though it's true that AHK v1 was a bit eccentric or wonky, it did a really good job at its primary purposes, among them making it easy for non-programmers and newbies to use it. I've talked to and read about so many people that ne

V's rapid progress, growing community, and overcoming adversity has been amazing to watch. This speaks well of the developers and their continual hard work. Like how this language is coming along.

Vlang is worked on by a large group of different developers, not just the creator. It seems this gets lost in a lot of narratives, as if it's a one man show. If you check V's GitHub, it's clear to see they have many contrib

Autofree already works (to a significant extent) and has been demonstrated[1], for years now. Vlang's Vinix OS[2] uses autofree. The situation (as I understand it) is unlike using a GC, autofree requires the user to have knowledge of

A good argument can be made that it comes from the machinations of Bell Labs (AT&T) and their promotion of C (and later C++). Debatably, a concerted effort was made to attack and belittle Pascal in the media, to get it out of the way.

by Tozen 3y ago
There is some embellishment in that statement, but people coming from Pascal/Oberon would likely feel much more comfortable using Go, than other C family languages. This would also include Vlang, and to an extent, Odin as well. These

Totally agree. Various people seem to be out of touch with modern developments, misinformed, or are being disingenuous (as really advocates for a competing language). A lot of the discussions surrounding Pascal are as if Object Pascal (an

Actually, the PascalABC dialect[1][2] supports using variables in that way too. However, I've seen arguments that allowing variable declarations anywhere tends to lead to sloppier coding and unnecessary errors, so Free Pascal/Laz
